Are you sure those are seeds? I have those all over my plants with trichomes on them and they're not seeds.
My fem autoflower has sugar balls
This is a 55-day old Blueberry feminized autoflower grown in soil outdoor/indoors at night under CFLs. It's flowering. I have another seed from the same batch that is 11 days ahead and looks great. The only difference is that this one has LST. Oh, and this one has testicles with trichomes...

Yeah it was a seed, I plucked that one still fully in the calyx so I could try and get a better close up with the loupe, in which I failed lol.
When I'm in spending time with them I will snag a handful of easy to get ripe ones!

Busy evening,
Chopped the old gals down. Day 70 (from flip) mostly cloudy, with Amber scattered about and the odd clear still. But I feel good with the timing.
Moved the babies into the big house. Had to do some maintenance on the light fixture as the tape holding light strips had become weak.. Added some rapidled far red led squares for bed time.
My back hurts.... Lol

Congrats on the harvest! That was a big one, and no wonder your back hurts...you've been felling trees

Did some topping tonight, mostly above the 4th nodes.
Topped both blueberries, both ak purples and 3 pinewarps. Need to give the gelat.og a few more days to grow another node or two.
Fell a few weeks behind with vacation last month, the stunted seedlings, as I want to be starting flower on the next round right after I harvest...
My plan is basically to start new seeds when I flip the current grow to 12/12.

Sounds pretty much like a perpetual grow! Only done the right way, not like my crazy ways.

hello thebigearl,
Cani i ask what wattage you are running each strip? Eb2?
Thank you for sharing your project with the rest of us.

Of course, so minimum I can run is about 14 watts per strip, max is about 40 watts (with the driver I have of course) optimum for these strips are at 27watts which is 700mA. I've been keeping it around 27-35 watts depending on the situation.
A few pics below to show the energy usage at different settings.

So a crazy thing, well I think it's pretty neat anyways....
I've had 3 seeds in a plastic measuring cup for over 3 weeks, probably closer to a month. After the first few days with no signs of germination I just left them be, and would check on them every here n there.
Fast forward to yesterday, I was looking at them thinking well this is going no where, may as well dump em.....
Then I thought, meh I'll just put some hot water in the cup.
So, i poured in a 1/4 cup of really warm water, not scalding but warm /hot.
Checked today, and they've all cracked!
(the little 4th seed was a non ripe seed, was thrown in anyways, didn't ever expect it to germ)

Thank you , the feedback is very much appreciated.
Im putting together something similar. Did you end up wiring them all in parallel, which driver are you running them on, constant voltage or constant current?

No problem, happy to assist!
This driver - Hlg-480h-42A driver
Constant voltage / parallel wiring.

I'm amazed they didn't fuzz in the water after all that time! I've had seeds get fuzzy after about 4 days.
How hot is that in actual degrees?
