Seed in the pot no transplant?........nooooooooooooo......against my hard held belief that's just wrong?
Round the stem?
Im the same lol. Always get told to water to run off but hars if in a big pot .also never done a auto either. Was told they dont yield well. These look good yield to me
About one inch back from stem round the stem
I see roots moving 2-3 inches south in a day then hit the bottom and curl with no bottom they will continue in moist soil. until they hit dry soil and they don't grow into dry soil as per Auqaman ,watering with a syringe is a guess where the roots are, isn't it?
You might recall that most of the freakish looking autos that we used to see on the old site were from ILGM and Pacific seeds.
I pack my fabric pots with promix, earth worm castings, perelite then all pots are drenched and i let them sit in tent till they dry back maybe a week. Add seed one syringe of seed starter with kelp and add one syringe full of water every three days. After two weeks spray soil with 500 mils water then add 500mils water and seed starter as plant grows so does the amount of water and nutes. Works for me
You got some coming from me too, just not until next week
Can’t wait to see how the Frozen Custard turns out.
I was hoping for 8-9 week harvest with the Far reds but its not looking that way now. I flipped Dec1 so I'm at 6 weeks and they're looking more like 4-5 week in size. They're getting there I can see them bulking up daily but some of the lowers are tiny compared to previous grows. Still smells great though, I don't have any carbon filters so it permeates though the house now, I don't notice it because I'm used to it but after I go outside then return its pretty obvious there's something living in our house that's wildly scented.......I love it, my wife doesn't care and either do the cats....lol...weeez good
I exhaust my tents on the driveway side of house when purolater guy comes by all he says is smells nice around here.
It takes a fine nose to be able to distinguish between growing and been smoked, I'm sure we can tell the difference, being growers , but most folks that don't grow just smell pot and they can tell one from the other. seeing as I smoke around the clock its just a normal scent around here.......I exhaust to my oil tank room that's not well sealed or heated so the oil delivery guy gets a nose full too.
idgaf
(bout the smell or exhaust in my zone)
Well used cups with writing on them already gives me no indication which is which but it doesn't really matter. They distinguish them selves well at around 6-7 weeks in flower and with the Auto Pots they all get the same food anyways so meh.....This is a habit with me, I take care to identify while I pop then plant with ID then fk up with transplanting but this time I'm ahead of the game I lost the tag at the start.....I'll carry on like I'm normal....lol....even though we all know I'm not.No playing three card Monty with red cups.
I don’t use labels, only two strains going that grow differently, but I know some use a sharpy on their red cups.
Keep dry and warm today sir. Very yucky out there today.
I do auto's from glass to 3 gal material bags, I water the pot as stated, keep the coco moistened but with just very little nutrients as they 1st. emerge from the Coco & perlite. SS
I've been using clay balls that I flush clean with 6.00ph'd water for a few days then I cover air domes with them, maybe 2" of balls. I then use a 50/50 ish mix of Perlite and Promix with a few other additives in the mix.They're lovely looking plants you keep
Do you bother with pebbles or perlite in the bottom of the autopots?
I buy the large bales @about $40 Cdn they last a long time mixed 50/50 perlite @$50 for a large 10kg bag. 2 grows with 6 plants with some left over. I haven't been recycling the balls either @$50/10kg bag although I should. I either need to recycle them this time or buy more...We're 12" deep in frozen snow, I've no place to do that indoors...fk it new balls it is...
Have you always mixed perlite and promix at the 50-50 or just for autopots
Just the auto pots but I was up to about 40% perlite before the Auto pots. In promix I was getting the compacting of the soil with just 30%. I had been adding about 15% to the mix that is supposed to have 17 -20% but I upped the percentage and that stopped the soil; from compacting but it made it a bitch to transplant out of. The lose soil falls apart real easy. I wouldn't do that with Auto's that can't handle any shock. I think I'll start them in a heavier mix then transplant into the 50/50 final auto pots
