Growing With Freedom Of Seeds

[Freedom of Seeds]

Out of the 6 Reg Autos only 3 are looking healthy and strong, they have been planted on into 5 and 4 ltr size pots and placed under a 100W LED light, grow room temp 29 degrees, still hot for seedlings, humidity 65%
2 are Onyx Reg Auto and 1 Jet 47 Reg Auto.
5 are under a propagating hood not able to deal with the Spanish heat.

Started with sowing 16 Auto Reg seeds, only 9 germinated and now only 3 strong reg autos are surviving and growing normal.
6 plant are dying as a result of a combination of very sensitive genetics, plus to hot for seedlings to thrive, and also human error as a result of being caught out by this relentless Spanish high temp outside.

2 out of the 3 remaining Regular Autos are not doing so good, 1 Jet 47 is fighting strong, wile 3 onyx may not make it?
It's the dam heat, 30 degrees, plus autos don't like transplanting resulting in transplant shock? but i believe it to be the bloody heat which i can't control this regular auto project is a failure, out of 16 seeds, only 9 geminated, and 6 of these have died from heat exaustion.
I will abandan this GJ in one more week if the 2 Onyx don't recover.

The 3 GMO Cookies are coming along well, keeping them under the hood of a propagator, and also under a 100W LED, i have many mixed seedlings under the same hood, to keep seedlings protected from this relentless Spanish heat.

3 GMO Cookies are now been planted into 3 ltr size pots and placed under a 100W LED light which is on 24 7, and will grow them for 2 more weeks before putting them into flower, temp now 27 degrees and humidity 55% which is now ideal for growing these plants.
Feeding with (Plagron terra grow) half strength.
Oscillating fan keeping the air moving all the time.

Jet 47 is a male, 2 Onyx now no idea yet?
Keeping 1 Jet 47 under 100W LED light.
Putting 2 Onyx into flower tonight under the 250W LED 13/10/23, i want to make some Reg auto seeds, hopefully the 12/12 light cycle will accelerate the 2 Onyx into flowering and catch up with the Jet 47 auto reg male's fresh pollen.

Strawberry Yields aka Strawberry Fields 5 Feminised seeds.

Hi Tok thanks for the headsup


Planting medium: compost from a local Garden center (cannabis grow compost).
PH 6.3/6.5 water and same feeding solution, aiming for 6.5ph.
I started 5 seeds soaking (Strawberry Yields) aka (Strawberry Fields) 5 Feminised seeds in a glass of filtered tap water 03/10/23,
I also added 3/5 drops of hydrogen peroxide, stir water well before adding the seeds, and stir again after adding seeds to water.
I will leave it for 24 hours.
The seed coat softens by soaking your seeds in a hydrogen peroxide solution 3/5 drops in a small clear glass, this method allows the seeds to absorb more oxygen sooner. This results in increased germination speed and popping.
Hopefully all 5 seeds will germinate by tomorrow?

5 Strawberry Yields fem seeds have all sprouted and are above vermiculite, keeping them under the hood of a propagator, i have many mixed seedlings under the same hood, to keep seedlings protected from this relentless Spanish heat.
Also positioned under the 100W LED light, indoor temp 29 degrees humidity 65%, still to hot for seedlings to be directly under lights due to high temp in the room.

3 Strawberry Yields sprouts are doing well 13/10/23, gave 2 seedlings away, no space for all 5 plants, coming along well under the 100W LED light.
27 degrees humidity 55% good growing conditions, first feed Plagron Terra Grow half strength 30ml to 10 ltr's water.
Oscillating fan keeping the air moving all the time.

Purple Kush 3 Feminised From Satdica Bulk Seeds​

Hi all

This is a quick intro to a grow i started on the 10/09, and you can fallow 2 weeks of this GJ in one scoop in it's first publishing right here.
I hope you enjoy it as much as i am!
Purple Kush is a very easy to grow! a strong robust plant with awesome end rewards which will have most of you lovely peeps salivating.
I Hope you enjoy the ride!

Germinating 3 Purple Kush Feminised seeds.
filtered water in glass, i also add 3/5 drops of hydrogen peroxide, stir water well before adding the seeds, and stir again after adding seeds to water.

I will leave seeds to soak for 24 hours.

The seed coat softens by soaking your seeds in a hydrogen peroxide solution, allowing the seeds to absorb more oxygen.
This will result in faster germination and popping.

Hopefully all 3 seeds will germinate by tomorrow?

Seeds popped todaytransferred 3 Purple Kush seeds in to small pots 10/09/23
3 Purple Kush seeds, 1 seed in each small pot.

Each Pot is Half filled with lite mix compost and Half filled with Vermiculite , watered planting medium with ph water 6.5 slightly acid, before sowing seeds 2cm deep in planting medium.

The seed will push through the vermiculite easley with very little effort, in effect securing a higher successful germination rate, the compost at the base will offer the first tap roots an immediate lite nutrient supply.

Placed 3 pots on top of a Propagation heating mat for correct germination temperature, position in a shaded place, and keep out of direct sunlight.

This may seem like a lot of effort? and it is, but it will payoff and be highly beneficial by securing a higher germination rate, a higher amount of seeds will germinate from using this method especially if your seeds were expensive, i wouldn't want to be the div who messed it up.

11/09/23 no sprouts above the vermiculite yet, i will check it again tomorrow.
Today 12/10 Two Purple Kush Germinated, they rise above the vermiculite 3 days after sowing.
Purple Kush looking ok, it could be growing faster.

2 Purple Kush fems spouts are now comfortable under my 100W LED red glow, i can't upload images atm some technical issue, waiting for support to contact me, i have given a mild liquid feed of Plagron Grow.

These 250W LED lights must be kept at a distance of 40/50cm above the top of the plants

This week is better, the Purple Kush has improved and was transplanted into bigger pots.
2 Purple Kush potten on to 7 ltr pots, and placed under a 250W LED Grow/flowering light.
Purple Kush is looking very happy under 250W LED light, i'm really liking the Green Brand 250 Watt LED's

2 Purple Kush are looking lovely today 01/10, i gave both a pinch at the tips of the plants yesterday to create a spray type effect.
Now lots more bud points will begin to develop, i didn't cut the head off, i want that to give me the biggest bud! plus producing more budding points.

The 250 Watt LED lights are giving very strong light, the plant are growing in a low compact structure, the big Purple Kush plant is developing very strong, and looking very robust.

2 Purple Kush fems have now been put into flowering, 12/12 light cycle 03/10/23, they have been growing from seed for 3 weeks and 3 days.
And have remained under the 250W LED light until more 250W LED lights are required.
I will now change the feed to Plagron alga Bloom for it's next feed.
Temp 28 degrees, humidity 60%, with constant good strong oscillating fans keeping the flowering room air moving to create good air circulation moving throughout the plants.

 

[Freedom of Seeds]

Purple Kush 10 days into flowering and looking lush.
I have added another 100W LED light in to flowering room, you can see it on the right, it's above the Party Monster and 2 Reg autos, the 2 Reg autos are coming out of the flowering room soon, i will place them outside in the garden.
The Party Monster fem strain is about to start it's own GJ today.

I have removed the smaller of the 2 Purple Kush plants from the flowering room 16/10 and placed it outside in the garden due to lack of flowering room space.

Party Monster Strain - 5 Fem Seeds From Satdica Bulk Seeds​

Hi all
The Party Monster strain is boasting a powerful terpene profile thanks to its impressive lineage.
GMO Cookies and Birthday Cake union.
I hope you all enjoy following this GJ.
Enjoy the ride.

I have now started another strain (Party Monster) 19/09/23, 5 seeds now soaking in filtered water in glass, also add 3/5 drops of hydrogen peroxide, stir water well before adding the seeds, and stir again after adding seeds to water.
I will leave it for 24 hours, 5 seeds of Party Monster have sprouted and are under the same 100W LED grow light.

2 Party Monster seedlings are looking good, coming along well under the 100W LED light, 26/09

Party Monster 3 seedlings transplanted into 2 ltr pots kept under a 100W LED light, i have given 2 of the 5 Party Monster seedlings away to a friend.

2 Party Monster seedlings are doing very well 01/10, i gave another one away to a friend and have kept 2 for myself, positioned under a 100W LED grow light

2 Party Monster seedlings are doing very well 01/10, i gave another one away to a friend and have kept 2 for myself, positioned under a 100W LED grow light

2 Party Monster seedlings are doing very well 06/10/23 they are now planted up in to 7 ltr size pots, to vege for 2 more weeks before putting them in to 12/12 for flowering with the 2 Purple Kush.
For now they are under 100W LED light

Party Monster put under 12/12 light cycle to start flowering, 10/10 for the last 7 days now, they received first Alga Bloom.

I started flowering small young plants, 19 days old.
Due to my limited grow space.

They didn't have it easy developing and growing as seedlings in a high temp, definitely stunted there growth as a result of seedlings in high temperature.

Don't start your seeds germinating if you can't control high temp in your grow room, such as 30 degrees, seedlings will struggle, keep under a propagator hood if it hits 30 degrees, keep seedlings under hood until the seedlings develop and the temp comes down to 27/28 ideal for indoor growing.
I have also given PM a pinch at the top of main stem to create a spray type effect, ie more budding points.
On 4th image PM are on the right side.

2 Onyx reg autos Flash Seeds, front right, not here for long, removing in a couple of days, they are not part of this GJ.

 

[Freedom of Seeds]

Out of the 3 remaining Reg Auto plants, 1 Onyx and 1 Jet 47 are males, and still waiting to sex the other Onyx as not 100% sure if it's a male or female? and keeping it in 12/12 light cycle to speed up revealing it's sex? i will know in 2 or 3 more days if i can make a few regular auto seeds

If you look close at these 2 images you will see both are male.

 

[Freedom of Seeds]

Purple Kush fem seeds sprouted 10/09 - started 12/12 light cycle 03/10/23 flowing until now 22/10 - 19 days flowering.
Every watering includes a feed of Plagron Alga Bloom 30ml 10 ltrs water ph balanced very well after mixing.
250W LED on Purple Kush.
100W LED light
Continuous oscillating fan 24/7 directed at plants.
No sign of any nasty bugs yet?
Applying diatomaceous earth with a fogger for the first time ever! I'm hoping it will slow down any possible spider mite invasion , only fogging in the vege stage, not fogging during the flowering stage, stop using diatomaceous earth after 3 weeks of 12/12 cycle.
The last fogging with clouds of diatomaceous earth to your plants should be a strong one before the advancement of the flowering stage.
Do not continue after 3 weeks of 12/12 light cycle, you don't want the powder to build up around the developing buds.
The Spiders are stopped in there tracks i hope with diatomaceous earth before they have a chance to develop into a what could be every growers worst nightmare.
Spider Mites are a huge problem in this area of Spain.
Clean all pots and trays plus propagators and everything you use to contain your seedlings and mature plants, thorough cleaning with soapy water of everything thing you use for the whole process of growing, especially your pots and don't stop there, you can't clean enough to prevent bacterial infections and infestations from mites and other plant eating bugs.

Party Monster is in 12/12 light cycle to start flowering since 10/10 for the last 12 days now, receiving constant watering and feeding with Alga Bloom, started flowering small young plants, 19 days old, this is due to my very limited flowering room space.
28 degrees with 60% humidity in flowering room.
I started out with 5 fem seeds with the intention of only keeping 1 best looking plant, she coming along looking strong and robust.
Not much of a stretch after 12 days of flowering, Party Monster is a good squat plant for low flowering rooms.

 

[Freedom of Seeds]

Purple Kush is coming along brilliantly! she has stretched way more than i expected, but now i think her stretche has peaked.

I started 12/12 light cycle 03/10/23 flowing until now 26/10 - 23 days flowering now and her buds are developing beautifully!
Every watering continues to include a constant feeding of Plagron Alga Bloom, i mix 30ml to 10 ltrs of water, and the Plagron helps to balance the PH very well to 6.5 PH, which has always worked well for me, and i don't need to check the PH every day, i check it once a week only.
The 250W LED light shining on my Purple Kush is delivering a very balanced light spectrum for strong bud development.

Growing Regular Autos are now outside in the garden.
Planted 16 Reg Auto seeds ,8 Jet 47 and 8 Onyx, only 9 seeds actually sprouted.
6 died from heat exhaustion, which was really my own fault.
3 plants survived, 2 Onyx and 1 Jet 47, 1 Onyx is a male and the other a female, the Jet 47 is a male.
I intend to let the reg Onyx and the female Onyx get it on to make me some pure Onyx reg seeds over this coming autumn and winter outside in the garden.

The Jet 47 male will be allowed to mature and produce lots of male flowers.
I will then cut off all the male flowers when it looks like they are about to open and drop pollen.
Then i will dry the flowers in paper towels, fold paper towels and place paper towels in a tupperware and place it in my freezer.
When i have more mature flowering reg auto plants, i will use the pollen to pollinate the reg auto plants and make more reg auto seeds in the next coming months.

 

[Freedom of Seeds]

Party Monster in 12/12 light cycle started flowering since 10/10 , since sprouting till now 38 days have passed.
Received constant watering/feeding with Alga Bloom, started flowering small young plants, 19 days old, and been in flowering 17 days now,
I have limited flowering room height space.
She is already having a good stretch! she will remain a smaller plant than P.Kush
Feeding/watering when hydration is required, always getting a feed when watering with 3 ml's to 1 ltr of water Plagron Alga Bloom, makes your water/feed 6.5 ph ideal for to help your ladies take up good nurishment from the feed you give them.

It needs supporting with a bamboo cane soon, another tool to clean but has to be done, clean is green
Still applying diatomaceous earth with a fogger, only using diatomaceous earth with fogger to plants in the vegitation stage, not the flowering stage, but still i'm experimenting and giving a little diatomaceous earth clowed to Party Monster in the very early stage of flowering
So far so good no
