Hey there 420magazine community! It has been quite a while.....
A number of years in fact, but I'm back for another grow journal! This time I'm bringing you all an autoflower run under the brand new XS1500 Pro by Viparspectra. The lights landed this afternoon and I unboxed them as soon as I got home. My first impression is that the build quality is top notch, as always. They feel very sturdy and well made, not at all cheap. I still have yet to hang them, as I just got home from a very long shift. Most likely a sunday project.
As you can see they've got the new lens technology Viparspectra has been developing. We'll see how well it adds to the canopy penetration! Of course as indoor growers, we're always fidgeting with the lights trying to find that perfect intensity for max penetration while also not burning your tops. Hopefully viparspectra has found the sweet spot for us.
On to the matter of this grow. This grow cycle will feature four autoflowers - all breeder packs. The strains are as follows:
The plant that I'm planning to reverse (you didnt think I was growing buds did you?!) will be the Colorado Cookies by Dutch Passion.
The three moms that will take a hefty load of pollen all over their buds will be Blueberry Slushy by RocBuds, White Chem by Mephisto, and the last strain will be Gelato from 420Fastbuds. This is going to be a lot of fun, I hope to get some nice big XL autos.
I soaked the beans on March 14th, I had 3 sprouts march 15th. Gelato joined the bunch on March 17th. Today is day 8 and 6 respectively. Ignore the clone, that's a mom I'm keeping around.
You may notice a 5th seedling. I popped a couple back ups cause I wasn't sure how viable some of the older beans would be. Lucky for me, only 1 failed, so my second back up is being fostered out. She'll be gone this weekend.
Thank you SO much to anyone who decided to stop in. I feel happy to be back at 420 although I've noticed quite a few new members, seems like the community has grown a lot. Hopefully I see some new faces as well as some old friends.

back, Chef. The strains you're growing sound interesting and I'm sure the pollen-making will be as well.
