I bought the ak48 seeds. Got5 reg seeds for 13 bucks. This is my first tine using cash, so its going to take double the time it usually does because they cant send it until they receive the money ( dropped in a postal box this am) . I have seeds now so i dont need a rush delivery. I also became tired of the 6 dollar surcharge for using a debit or credit card. Ill keep u all posted on how this goes since ive never once used cash

Today I pulled the runt.
The other Super skunk though, barley has 3 sets of leaves but it had new growth inbetween the nodes already.. im starting to see how different they grow from photo period plants. I mean, they get STRAIGHT to it . the other two do not have this side branching starting yet but i suspect they aren't far from it. Its just super early to see that starting . Ill be popping some photos very very soon. 'Til next time :peace:

Started the germination process on my photos. I decided not to overdo it since its my first try at this perpetual thing. Ill get a bigger tent ( maybe a 2 in 1 ) next grow most likely. So, i chose 5 seeds. 4 regs and 1 fem.. 2 reg blue mystic, my last 2 haze #1 seeds and a fem gorilla glue #4 incase i get unlucky and get mostly males. Im almost planning on getting atleast 2 males. Not sure if ill keep them this time around. But there u have it . 3 autos, 4 regs, 1 fem

So nirvana got my cash! Last time i checked (this morning) it was being prepared to be shipped. So if they havnt sent it today than tomorrow will be the day.. i didnt count the days but i think it only took 6 days for them to recieve my cash. I should recieve my ak48 seeds in about 9 days . Ill also be ordering mango skunk seeds today. I've said this a thousand times over but i gotta stop buying seeds for a while. I literally feel like i HAVE to when they're 13 bucks. Nirvana has these sales every week and its totally my weakness

The super skunk and cash crop have impressive vigor. The nyc diesel seems average and thats totally ok. The other two tho, are growing noticeably bigger and doing it faster. Those two are pretty much neck and neck at this point. In excited to see how they develop.. im pretty sure ill only LST. Idk about defoliating autos so i dont think i will. Other than that, they are still on ph'd water only and amazingly they aren't asking for food just yet.. i hear autos dont loke nutes so much so ill keep it very minimal when i do feed. All of my photo seeds cracked and have been put in solo cups, hopefully all 5 sprout . . Peace!

Photoflower ( is that even a term?) Update.

So we got a blue mystic sprout, a gg4 sprout and a haze sprout trying to pop up. I rotted one ouy by keeping it on the heater. Too wet and too hot so it didn't make it.. the other haze seed cracked but it hasnt done much else since. Today im gonna germ another blue mystic and maybe a fem c99. Just in case the other haze doesnt pull through.

Autoflower update.

I did very minimal LST to the super skunk and cash crop. I simply bent them down to encourage the side branching to come up to the main top in height, giving me multiple tops W/O topping. I didn't do the nyc diesel yet. Its so small and stout that I've decided it isnt ready for training yet

I Fed them base nutes, molasses, floroliscious plus, and calmag. 1/4 strength on everything and the molassea and floroliscious plus was moreso for the medium . I wont be using those too much for now but i feel like it helps the medium get the ball rolling with all the microbial activity and whatnot. Idk really, it just feels right . Fed the same solution to my solocup plants as well

She has 3 cotyledon leaves20181122_053707.jpg
Im gonna have to help get the helmet off if it isnt able to shake it i had to help the shell to20181122_053729.jpg By tomorrow im sure we'll have 5 fully sprouted photos. I started training the autos. Its easy since the 1st step is simply bending them over.. its just so ugly at first but its easy and it works well.

It does look ugly for sure but it wont for long and i can already see the side branching starting grow more

I also try to "tuck" and move big fan leaves away from the developing branches in the middle . I feel like this is absolutely essential to maximizing an autos yeild

If your gonna have to pull the helmet off of that one, mist it with water a couple times, 4 or 5 minutes before you try and right before.
It'll help keep it soft and everything lubed up for removal, lol.
