DV8 Does Dalliance: A Dabbling In Autos

[DV8]

Congrats on the new sprouts and journal, DV8!

Thanks Hashgirl, nice of you to come by.

Will you be posting strain information?

To be honest, hadnt really crossed my mind.
I figure any of the readily available commercial seedbank genetics is highly searchable, not much of a task for anyone these days.

If I was trying something a little harder to get, specialised, a gift, or breed by me then certainly I could see how that would be beneficial.

They were freebies on a Barneys purchase promo, (buy 3 pack femmed photo get auto free).

I do remember getting excited about the Gorilla Zkittlez, it was a new release in May, which is when it was shipped out.

Is there a reason you ask? Is it a regular thing for others to do that?

Day 5 (+13dlh)

 Together

Adalita (GZ)

Chrissy (CK)

Bit happened today. Shots were before uppot. They both looked good before, during and after. No trouble growing through plugs.

Could have waited a day or 2 but tonight was best chance. Now they can get going until time for final size containers.

Temps are a bit high but the days have been warmer.

Must feel good to have a couple of plants growing! Congrats on the seedlings DV8, looks like they have a good start.

Thanks mate it absolutely does.

Seeing everyone elses good genetics, great setups, and grow journeys can only be sustained for so long without having something to attend to.

Ive been well entertained, well informed, learnt new things and shared in the joy of others experiences while Ive waited though.

Its been a good break, was chomping at the bit to start proper.

Day 7.

Girls are celebrating a week above ground. At this point Ive not been able to get a pic.

I did get a peek on them, The second true leaves were nicely extended, colour looked good on both of them.

I have no nutes, and they really should have received the first feed at the second true set.

I might have to go and see whats in storage as my supply is at Jays.

Certain they will go hard if they get a bit extra.

Temps are on the high side. Id like to come down from 27/29 to 23C range, but zipped up tight its hard to regulate. Im sure they would be better for it.

I think they might be stressed a little from temps & light. Its quite brilliant just under that lamp.

Might account for some slowing of growth outside the optimum bands.

Attempting to keep the nodes tight so they stay lower and easier to manage during training.

My Mars led is a lot for seedlings. Usually run at like 25% at 12in

I know people can look up strain descriptions if they're interested. I just always include it because I want that info in my journal so that people don't have to go elsewhere to find it.

Day 9 (+1 dlh)

Adalita (L) Chrissy (R)

So the girls spent their first night outside in the Greenhouse, got down to 2C (36F), which had me quite worried.

This morning they looked like they barely missed a beat, save for not receiving an extra 8 dlh.

They look green, strong, and actively growing, with healthy colytodons, and still haven't recieved a feed.

Going forward Ill be less worried about them, as Spring comes forward the smattering of 8-10C o/nights will increase.

I will however need to provide them with some nutrients sooner rather than later.

The photo seeds are beside them, maybe they will go maybe not. Without a shed coming they will need to adapt, or fail.

Had I known in advance I would have not bothered until around mid October.

 

[Carmen Ray]

They are looking so good, and that sunset is a stunner. It get's cold in your neck of the woods, gulp... but yay yay yay spring is on its way. I can feel it warming up here. I am wearing a couple less layers just in the last couple of days. I hope that your grow falls into place for you. Fingers crossed.

You have some Chilly nights still.
Do you cover them to slow the cold.
Do you get many days below zero in the winter? Much snow?
I'm getting Chilly nights.
I just rigged a heater for them.
Hopefully everything warms up quick and the girls are fine.
Love the sunset background, beautiful.
Take care.

Thanks for the nice words Carmen.

The seasons are a bit extreme down here, one week frosts, next too hot. The summers are brutal, often reaching 40+C, but Spring is definitely the nicest part of the year.

This part of the world that I live in definitely has its challenges growing, dont have to go too far south or north and its much more ideal.

Greenhouse helps. Im still looking at bringing them inside nightly if I can find a solution.

Do you get many days below zero in the winter? Much snow?

Too low in elevation to get snow, but it can get below freezing quite regularly.

I'm getting Chilly nights.
I just rigged a heater for them.

Had considered it. Ill drop by if you put details in your journal.

Hopefully everything warms up quick and the girls are fine.

Wont be long, late October, Early November is usually much better.

Love the sunset background, beautiful.
Take care.

Day 10 (+2dlh)

Adalita (L) Chrissy (R)

Girls had another cool night, and by this afternoon had the pray arms going.

Adalita (GZ) hasnt wasted any time hitting the bottom of the pot, even if Chrissy (CK) is looking slightly larger in frame.

Im hovering, willing them to go hard and get big.

 

[DV8]

Girls are back in clone tent tonight with the seeds. They are allowed to remain there overnights for now.

Good timing as the temp drops out to 2C overnight tonight.

Might yet get a photo run, but regardless the auto girls will definitely benefit.

Id love to sort out a good fan suitable for the clone tent, seems everything I have is just too intense. Might have to sort a pc one, I have a dc controller here to run it.
