SUMMARY: Second Grow ever after an ok first grow. I germinated this seed initially as a replacement for a failed seed of another strain however as I wasn't a fan of my last Amnesia Auto from Seedsman I decided to plant another a seed instead and keep this as a solo cup experiment to learn from.
I used both the "Glass of Water" technique and the "Paper Towel" method to germinate the seed as I did with my first grow.
Thursday 24th December 10:10
Seed placed into a glass of room temperature (21Β°C) rain water at a pH of 6.2 and were placed in the tent in darkness at a temp of 25Β°C.
Friday 25th December 10:20
The seed was still floating but sunk immediately after a light tap. I wet some kitchen roll in the water and then placed the seed onto it folding it over gently twice and then sealing it in a ziplock bag. I placed the ziplock bag in a cupboard in the house in between some towels.
Saturday 26th December 21:55
The seed now has a 2cm tap root and so I will plant it tomorrow in a solo cup.
Sunday 27th December 13:30
I planted the seed in a solo cup and gave it 60 squirts (20-30ml) of rainwater/calmag at a pH of 6.2.
Monday 28th December 12:00
I can see the seedling breaking ground and so will sprout today. I gave it around 80 squirts (roughly 50ml) to gently saturate the coco.
Monday 28th December 20:15
I dropped the light from 32" above the pot to 24" after noticing Mr Canucks has his light at 24" height. I gave another 50 squirts to keep the coco moist. The seedling has broken ground but only just and is still wearing its shell.
@rockbo47, I watched from seed to stoned on YouTube he did a few himself and they came out good from seed to harvest didn't yield particularly well but the end product looked good, good luck to ya I be keeping an eye on ur feed im intrigued to see how u get on in the solo cup might be something I might try myself π
Appreciate the reply happy growing mate
@Syrunz, Thanks man, yeah she's not doing bad is she. This is just an experiment and I plan to just let her do her thing in the solo cup throughout the entire grow. I MAY defoliate a little but if I can help it I plan to leave her be and just feed her. If I can get one nice dense cola I'll be stoked!
The plants look great, healthy π Thanks for all the nutrient info, I've been using water solubles and am thinking of switching to liquid products. π
@rockbo47, Agreed, I had the same difficulty finding info but this site has helped with that. I find the nutrient, water, timing combo so strain/environment specific that every new grow can be a challenge π Good Luck!
@Grisly, Thanks for the comment, glad to hear people can make use of my efforts that's why I'm documenting it so thoroughly and it is quite time consuming. When I did my first grow I couldn't find enough info on how much water to give when seedlings, when exactly to start nutes etc so figured I would create a good frame of reference. I only used liquid nutes as I could not get hold of any dry amendments but I'm comfortable with the liquid nutes now.
