Hello growers.
I've got an update on the goings ons here.
It's Day 25 for the Fruit Punch auto and the Purple Tahoe (left) and Day 40 for the Purple Dream in the cloth pot.
Not much to say about them. They're just plugging along. The PD in the Lush soil got a dose of Uprising Grow today and the other Dot-fed plants just got a bit of water.
@Carmen Ray mentioned the other day that she saw a purple tint in the leaves of the PD. At the time I didn't see it but now I clearly do!
The last three seeds I buried have all broken through the soil, although one of the Grandaddy Blacks seems to have stalled. Both the GDBs emerged with membranes still attached. The GDB1 was much more difficult to remove than the GDB2. That might have something to do with her current state.

GDB2
Pineapple Express
As always, I appreciate you stopping by!
Peace.

Congrats on the new sprouts, GDB!
I'm sure when the three new ones are flopping all over the tent, this varied start will be long forgotten!
Long live the green!

Hello there!
Whoop! My new baby Grandaddy Black1 that had been stalled has freed herself. She had half a membrane remaining that I could not remove. I just kept spraying a little water on it over the hours and it finally let go.
So the Thanksgiving Harvest grow has now become the Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year's harvest grow, with 6 plants in play!
Here she is looking much happier than yesterday:
After my recent encounters with the germination gremlin, I'm giddy!
Nice of you to stop by.
Peace.

The gremlin has spared you GDB! She's a fighter, they grow the best!

Hello growers.
It's up-pot day for the 2x2 tent girls.
The Purple Tahoe went into a 3 gallon pot filled with Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil and including slightly less than the "heavy" dose of Grow Dots @ 8 tsps. (Realgrowers designates a light feed rate @ 1 tsp of Dots per gallon of soil; a medium rate is tsp per gallon of soil; and, a heavy dose is 3 tsp per gallon of soil.) This starts the clock on the Grow Dots. I'm going to flip her a bit earlier than the 28 days Realgrowers stipulates, probably around day 20 or thereabouts if all goes well with her training.
The Purple Dream also went into a 3 gallon pot but this one filled with Roots Organics Lush soil. She'll be raised on Roots Organics dry nutrients -- Uprising Grow and Uprising Bloom.
And finally the Fruit Punch auto, also on Grow Dots, went into a 2 gallon pot. I gave her 5 tsp of Dots, again just slightly below the "heavy" rate.
The vibe I'm getting from them now is one of being pissed off. Hopefully their mood will improve soon!
The three new babies (2 Grandaddy Blacks and a Pineapple Express) continue along the path to adulthood.
They're still in front of my TV on a heat mat and under a mini-LED that I use for seedlings.
I have yet to water the up-potted girls. Typically I just give them about 1/2 liter around the perimeter of an imagined solo cup. This time though, I'm going to try the method @Carass uses and give them about a 1.5 liters and let them drink on that for about a week before I water them again. Letting them sit for a while with no attention appeals to the Lazy-Man in me!
That's all I've got.
Thanks for you time.
Peace.

Hello again.
I forgot to be polite!
(I'm trying to catch up in your journal but it's a tough thing to do around here. I think I'm about half way through!)
I forgot to be polite!
Thanks so much HashGirl.
I hope to surprise myself with this grow Shed. Going back to using silica to try and curb the flop!
Thanks Stone! And congrats on your nomination!Long live the green!
Yeah they did Stone. But I could hear those little suckers lurking in the background, giggling.
Thanks NTH. I had almost forgotten I had my namesake plant!
Thanks so much Gandalf!

LOLOLOLOL. Seriously! I feel like I need therapy after a 6-month grow cycle.Having plants outside would not be good for my mental health.
The first thing I thought when I saw that pic was “membrane”. Glad you got it off of her!

Just a quick update on the Purple Tahoe on her Day 28.
Today was her first training day.
No snaps, crackles or pops!
