What's up Weed Nerds! So if you recall one of my last posts, I am testing out a F1 Reg Auto flower for community breeder Belenos, creator of White Grape. This Auto is Space Jam x Hard Liquor, AKA Galactic Reserve.
Grow setup
Still waiting to clear out my tent, so by day this is under the Mars Ts1000, or if it is sunny, I put out on balcony for 8 hours. Then by night, it goes into the tent for 12 hours. This is what I refer to as, "Musical chairs", since I am waking up and shuffling the plants to their home for the day, then at night doing the same. Tonight will be the last night doing this, thank god!
I have started out all my seedlings in ProMix
I have been giving them plain Ro water for the first week, by the second I started to give Cal/Mag that has no NPK, along with Roots Organics, Trinity
Since Autos do not do good with transplants, I have had them in 2.5 gallon pots from the start
After tonight these will be in their permanent home, along with my other seedlings. I am sure they will start to take off under my King Bright LED. Playing "Musical Chairs" has really got me burnt out, and I can not wait to not having to do a million things before I go to work, then bed. That is what kids are for, ;)
Grower burnout is real! Heh. I took a few months off for the first time late last year. Just finished the Reclining Buddhas, and I'm already germinating the next crop, which are their babies :)
Might take a short break after that, who knows? Mostly, growing rejuvenates me, but you're right that a break is good sometimes.
Yeah it’s tiresome, but a new crop does pump me up! It’s just the constant moving them around that gets to me. Sometimes I just probably should wait till my tent is completely empty before starting. But unleash I have not got any clones from my local nursery, that would be a mistake with my seedlings. I think once I’m at a month, I will look into Adam elite cut to the bunch
Practice makes perfect. Good luck with the Autos. All that moving can get to a gardener for sure.
I say having plants are like pets, but the constant moving is akin to having kids. That’s why I won’t ever do a light dep again. Such a pain
I do like my photoperiods. They do grow large for sure.
Never say never, right?
Yeah I here yah. Autos sure are fun to watch though.
And here I thought kids were for taking out the trash and mowing the lawn..
Maybe in a few years lol
I've never experimented with any auto-flower strains before. Let's hope these little girls do well, would like to see the end result.
