As you know I have a grow started with 5 plants at the moment. This is a journal of my first autoflowering plants. I am growing Short Stuff's "Russian Rocket Fuel" I soaked the seeds in water for 12 hours. Then put them in between two layers of damp paper towels and on a plate, into a ziploc bag that was left open. I then wrapped them in black plastic(the kind you cover the window with) and left them in my grow room where it is warm for 12 hours. I just opened them and this is what I saw... I put them into Styrofoam cups with Fox Farms "Light Warrior" soil, watered and now they are under the lights!! Updates to come..
i love it. i just started auto's of my own. ours will be about the same harvest date first subscribed
Watered again today. Had sprouts start popping yesterday and are already a bit bigger today!! I am just going to say this already though..I DO NOT APPROVE OF LIGHT WARRIOR FOR SEEDLINGS!! Its entirely too light and fluffy and some of my seeds sprouted oddly and were moved one is even sprouting on the very edge of the cup!! You can barely water without circulating the water and soil and thus moving your seeds! This made me very angry, and seeds I do from now on will be mixed with light warrior and the MGO/perilite mix i have left over from the first time, I like the compactness that miracle grow offers only for seedlings because my first seedlings did way better than these are doing at the moment!
Day 8, looking good so far, watered last night and all seems to be going well!! YAHOO!! the third pic is one that started growing upside down for some reason because the light warrior is so light it circulated some of the seeds the first time i watered but seems to be salvaged, i hope.
suscribed i will be growing another one of short stuff seeds the blue himilayan diesel after my current grow. Will be following you all the way
all is going very well i transplanted to three gallon pots tonight and am ready to see these bad boys grow!! a few things i have learned so far, i will NEVER use light warrior soil for seedlings EVER again, i also will never start with Styrofoam again for cups, next time its back to solo cups these that i used just hold to much water for too long and the soil is WAYYYYY to light!
SO..all of the Russian Rocket Fuel auto flowering plants i have, turned out to be male, except one but i was not too sure on it so i just killed them all, since the auto strains are so small if i try them again i will be getting femmed seeds no doubt it is just too hard to tell what they are when there that small.
