Grow Timeline (33 updates)
single sprout from zamnesia 25$ pack. lost track of which cup this was when swapped from wrong soil to happy frog x miracle grow. haven't moved to final pot yet so expecting a stunted auto but have next run from fast buds and mephisto in water now
fastbuds 5 pack mix so have no idea what strains it's gonna be but seen 3 sprout tails after 24 hours in water so much better experience overall. zamnesia is still getting there. stunted from when I touched the shell so letting time tell me how much damage is done
im doing the same thing but with Gorilla Melon as my main
I currently have 6 randoms that are all mix packs so hopefully fastbuds will not let me down come February I'm expecting. I have two rippley og and a Tropicana cookies that are being stubborn under the soil
Was your 5pack photoperiods too?
all autos for me this run. I have one cheese photo for my dad I'm babysitting till she is old enough to move outside when it's warmer in possibly 3 maybe 4 months depending on how merciful California winter coming up
changing method to a straight to soil germination and have had massive success. in front of a space heater and underneath a larger 5 gallon fabric pot to mimic total darkness. two days 4 24 fast buds seeds have risen above ground . everything has been moved into final pot and soil height. any room left will be strictly top dressing and compost tea for any restrictions these ladies face in there two gallon fabric pots. have one dressed ready for transfer and 4 seeds in a race to see which gets it and which three are gonna stay in solo cups for the next few weeks
90watt light at half power about 18" above seedlings. 3 outta 9 had trapped taproots at day 5 both my mephesto Ripley ogs might be goners not losing hope but am planing a retry again since fast buds was a complete success in my mind with 5/6 compared to zamnesia hitting 1/6 last week. two plants surviving one one cotelyden so stunted growth. have lowered the light to compensate for too fast a stretch for half my tent space
adjusting light and height till at my 330-400 ppfd. had been stressing them hitting 500+ fist few days because I didn't have any way to read it besides lux. my little 90 watt set up is making me very content for the beginning stage. but I will be looking to get a larger one to swap to for blooming and possibly late vegetation
stong little seedlings. left the lights on full blast all night and it was completely fine. two that haven't developed leafs are getting moved out of the tent and transfered into a outside pot. getting a new 6 pack from fastbuds to try and get another set germinated and established before these 4 get too week 4 . hoping to establish a rotation between harvests with 60 and 90 day autos and split germination periods
no stress besides the lack of stretching because my low watt light. waiting for a sunny day to slip the developed ones out into some sunlight for some complete spectrum intensity and to allow the new baby's some gentle light time alone in the tent
another watering. higher dose of nutrients and still adjusting soil pH and testing the little runoff that's collecting
lost one leaf due to a accidental snap while rotating some stuff. will see what happens over next few days where the snap was. noticable pop. gave her a pretty good bend towards the light. one out of the four has noticable smaller stem. it is the cookie plant
imo for autos it's best to let them be for the most part. too much stress will stunt them and make them flower early. I don't normally do anything but leaf tucking til after day 21 and sometimes not til preflower
I appreciate that. I have a cookie plant I'm leaving alone. I will have a few notes at harvest time to compare and I think my next four Imma leave alone and see how it compares since it's all the same breeder
watching this post. I frickin broke a main stem last night and hoping I didnt kill one of my plants. grr
how bad did the break go. I have seen people say it can cause a hormone spike might bounce back stronger will be keeping my fingers crossed for you
take some aloe vera jel and spread a little over the break as a wound dressing and use fishing line to tie it back together like a cast. best of luck
heck yeah! Will do it now
I'm looking forward to seeing how she does. the Fish emoluments i added really perked both of them up today. massive growth
After i did it I felt so stupid. I guess easy to do, but being shaky sucks. I treated with Aloe, mixed a fish emulsion and new growth is exploding. I made a set of "Crutches" for the main stem because it's heavy now on one side, and added training brackets for the two new main stems that are just taking off. Will update with pics today
side note got 100 fem seeds from local breeder. if anybody is local to California message me if your down to trade some. I have gorilla glue and gelatos
next day seeing signs of first auto transition into flower. hope to see some of the larger ones follow since it's one of two runts and assuming it's early transitioning is due to transplant shock
two gallon pots maxed out after 29 days. roughly five weeks left in this cycle. so will be monitoring the roots as they air prune and keeping up a high feeding schedule. starting my next batch sooner with the feeding. this one on the left side is roughly 10 days old and massive because the changes to my routine
pheno hunting to the best degree. Two local photos so extra spicy because how famous this valley in California I'm in has been for strains. 4 and 4 1st and 2nd cycle fastbuds 420 auto mix with one Tropicana cookies staying small like cookies usually does and two surprisingly strong 2 liter bottle plants that I can't let myself give up on. 2nd transfer for them because soil issues so they are stuck in there final resting places
Few days ago. Got a new full spectrum blurple for bloom UV far red little blue. Adding basically everything possible under led bulb tuning with two 40 solar lights. I'm after cheap effective low watt quality and potency. Yield is the sacrifice but sea of green with 13 and counting after a surprise pop up with another photo. All my photos will veg 4-9 months and be mothers before flip. Along side cloneing attempts which I will be documenting. Never have cloned before so will be studying and asking questions as the time comes. Autos are strong. Have 10 more seeds for 3 months from now. Planning on getting a couple 200 more seeds between ethos fastbuds mephisto and Humboldt seed co. Between now and then want to get a propogation tent and a second 2x2 for extra bloom space
Best way to go about this is to keep rotating clones instead of just keeping one mother plant for that long of time . Cloning is easy , take from lower to middle area of plant where it will root easier & use clear solo cup with drain holes & neutral soil & use color solid cup & that shields roots from light & u will be able to see if cutting roots . Cut stem on 45 degree angle & dip in root solution. I use alohe & soak for few hours
One that has the most premium spot in my tent for airflow and light is over one foot at day 44. 8 other plants are all measured up above 8 inch so overall happy one 6 inch shorty in the back left corner. Will be upgrading to a single wider board 150-200 watt light after measuring the Increase in my power bill with the 120 - 150 watt setup I'm currently running with 4 small lights.two little boards and two led tubes
Sad times when you gota worry about your electric bill. An I'm not saying just you it's everyone
I remember when we had 800$ electric bills an nobody blinked a eye😵😱🙃🤣 mh/hps days with a ballest that you can hear outside the house😅
My wife would kill me. Lol just recently moved into a house so still having the recovery blues but happy to have a large back yard for the outdoor cycle here in Cali. And I feel that. Incredibly efficient lights out now compared to even 5 years ago.
I've gotten mine down sub 100$ so with full household . And I'm running 24 hour for autos so I know when I switch to photos Imma be great with around a 300 watt board or so running 12 a day in a bloom tent
Was 3 rooms around 30 plants per. House an garage electric bill lol
Hopped in on my day off and got them out the two by two. Still needing the reflective to get the ppfd I need in the entire tent. Bloom plant saw 1200ppfd so it has been lowered and the rest of them that were shorter are between 400-700 ppfd so content . Will be getting a 150-250 watt fixture for the 2x2 before I begin the next cycles of autoflowers. Want to really crank them and probably be less greedy with the number. Few mistakes with one plant but happy with 9 of them
🤙
Est 2-3 zips of a 75 day auto. 7-14 g a day house for medical purposes so will be documenting my 3 photos after the first 4 autos are cut down day 100
I hate to be that guy but you’ll be lucky to yield a full zip dry weight with the size of this plant.
Lmfao 3 zips dried of a autoflower in a two gallon pot
Not my first rodeo. And trust me the entire tent is 2lbs. I'm after top shelf friend. Not bammer yeild. I've grown blue dream before and sold baby arms for 30-60 each. I'm over that shit. Which is why I went to the top shelf genetics because nobody is going to go f6 or bx2 with bammer
Whatever you say mate, I just don’t see it from the photo I can see. I’d love to see some dried buds though just for size reference.
Bulk faze. Sticky nugs about 2-3 zips of a fastbuds auto. Still laughing people who thought this was even about yield. Expecting between 1-2 lbs out of all 10 plants. And my three photos are going great. Two are going to be mothers. The last one I don't like the shape so will be flipping in about two months for one massive indoor gelato plant
Taking notes from my pops. Remembering old light boxes from when I was young and moving some lights around. 800 up top 550-650 under canopy
A buddy of mine went to school with the guy who invented the Phototron. He had two of the early prototypes.
The phototron was designed to be used vertically & close to the plant . If u planning on using it in grow tent u might have to lower it close to the plant . I remember seeing those advertised in high times back in the 80’s .
How do you germinate your seeds?
The only bean from Zamnesia that didn't pop for me was a fruit punch auto. Strange you had so many at once not pop.
I've done the float method with a few drops of 3 percent peroxide. paper towel in a ziplock on a heat mat and finally after a week I got two from sown directly but the second one I had to do a seed surgery the Taproot had grown into a circle and was suffocating inside the seed
it was my first purchase. 3 critical cheese auto one purple haze auto and one amnesia auto all struggled for over a week. one cheese and the amnesia finally succeeded at sprouting but way behind the fast buds seeds I got to germinate last night
Wow! That's some bad luck! I plan on doing their Scary Jane on my next big tent grow. I hope that doesn't happen.
try soaking them in water for 2 days then putting them in a wet paper towel sprinkle some mykos on the seeds if you got it then place in a bag over a germination mat or somewhere warm normally within 3-5 days they’re ready.
have not gotten any yet but thank you for the tip. also have read that seaweed molasses tea with the water can help give them a small nutrient shock also
you can also throw em in a cup of water half way full n just wait 2 to 3 days the tap root will form n seed will be ready w tap root in 2 to 3 days some over night.
also miracle grow is no good to grow in happy frogged on the other hand is I'd keep it in the happy frog!
best of luck to you !
ive got a buddy who did 1000 plants in a warehouse. the miracle grow was his idea lol 5percent in every mix is a Modesto California thing. but we also use local dirt too big agriculture community. synthganic works man. the miracle grow pushes nutrients instantly the organic happy frog helps set the first week or two but runs out of "gas" also feeding maxi grow to adjust my plain waters ph down. very acidic plant food
But the miracle grow is the wrong kinda fertilizer for smoking products correct? I work in a warehouse grow in okc we have 1,000 plants per room and probly 17 rooms.
