Pop'Em and Drop'Em (tm)Reset the growhouse today. Autos are ready to rock!
Nice pots Preston and looks like you got your hands full remember autos don’t need as much food as photos you got this dudeHowdy y'all!
Come one, come all! Everyone is welcome here and definitely encouraged to ask questions and share opinions!
It's an exciting time around the Milly home! The winter girls are almost finished, so we're gonna squeeze in a group of autos before the summer drop.
I was blessed with a few auto beans from my homeboy @Bilbobudkin420 , and I still had a few beans laying around. Finally decided on 4 strains.
I will be attempting the Super Lemon Haze auto from Green House Seed co. Lemon strains seem to be my nemesis; I'm dropping 2 of them this time.
I'll also be running 2 BlackBerry Kush auto and 1 Grapefruit auto from Fast Buds.
Strain #4 will be 1- Dreamberry auto from Auto Seeds.
6 total plants... as long as we get 100% germination. Fingers crossed...
I start my seedlings the same way, almost every time. LoL It works well for me, so I stick with it.
Beans get a soak for about 24 hours in regular tap water. I can tell when they are ready to move into the paper towel when, they sink on their own, or sink when touched. Most times they are floating, I give them a little tap, and they sink like a rock.
After the water bath, I move them into a wet paper towel, inside a baggy. They will sit on a dark shelf in my closet until they show tap roots.
Now... most growers will start their autos in the final pot... I've done this many, many times. I've just found it a little bit safer to start in the cup with a mild starting mix before up-potting to straight coco. It affords me a buffer zone so I don't fry my babies in the coco mix, if I charged it a little hot.... If I were in soil, they would start in the 3 gal pots right away.
Here's the mix I will be using on this group.
I've also adopted these cups... they release from the soil, flawlessly. Makes for an easy transplant, that's why I don't worry much about "up-canning" an auto.
Once I'm comfortable with their size, I'll move them into 3 gal fabric pots to finish out their days.
This grow will be straight coco again. I'll charge the medium with 1/4 strength nutes and treat the transplant area with mycos before moving the babies into the bigger pots.
Since this is a brand new journal, I'm sure I forgot a bunch of pertinent info... I'll update as I figure out what's missing.
Stay lifted homies! Hope we get a good group to hang out for this journey...
-P
Amazon!
I use an empty cup (same size as the seedling cup) to create the cavity while I'm filling the pot. Once full, I remove the dummy cup and set in the cup that has the seedling in it.
Amazon!
I'll be using it from now on. This group took off quick with minimal issue.
Hope you're doing well brother! Good to see ya
Ahhhh, You leave the whole kaboodle in there! I've seen it done that way but not leaving the seedling and medium in the cup as well for the week.
The seedling mix has a light dose already. I don't mess with any pre-charging there.Yeah man just might be getting a divorce so lots of mixed feelings lately .
My bad homes
Just cal mag and ph water to 5.8 or what fir those autos starting ?
Also is there a need to pre charge that seedling mix before planting ?
