Grapefruit Diesel x Hijack - 15 Seed Test Run

This is a test run on 15 Grapefruit Diesel x Hijack seeds.

Anyone can post assuming it's somewhat on topic.

I believe I am the only person currently growing these genetics.

your own cross or a purchase

hope this works.

got it now , i'm going to stay with this grow to see how it turns out good luck

Within 48 hours 7 of 15 have broken the surface and 3 of 7 have fully developed cotyledons.

Picture update when they look a little more exciting

13 of 15 are developing regularly. 2 are slow and have germinated but not broken soil.

very nice.

when mine get that big i drop them all the way into the bottom of a beer cup. only put enough soil in it to reach the leaves. as the seedling continues to grow you can add more soil. keep your light low. by the time it reaches the top of the cup it should have a couple sets of leaves and a nice sturdy stalk.

nice i wanna c how theze turn out. +rep

Yeah i would like to see how this turns out.

sounds like a killer cross. subscribed

The only reason I haven't transplanted yet is because I want to slightly stunt the larger ones that germinated first. That way the slower seedlings will catch up a bit.

A small difference in size now can be exaggerated later on. That might mess up my ScroG.

Tomorrow they all get small containers with Fox Farm Happy Frog.

14 of 15 are developing true leaves (first set). 1 of 15 has a large tap root but is refusing to shoot up cotyledons for some reason. If I see no green by transplant time tomorrow it might be the first victim in the search for good phenotypes.

15 of 15 showing green. I hope the stems stay purple/pink

14 of 15 got transplanted into Fox Farms Happy Frog. 1 of 15 is playing catchup under a couple CFLs.

you were supposed to bury them all the way to the first leaves.

oh well.

Nothing to worry about. I left one inch of stem because these small containers will need to be top-filled after a few waterings.

EDIT: Your outdoor plants are doing great.

i've seen all i need to see here i'm out...rob

The smallest seedling that started a bit late has basically caught up. It's getting almost twice the watts per square foot until tomorrow when it goes in the tent with the others.

Second sets of leaves are just starting to show on 14 of 15. I will post pictures when they actually develop significantly.

Sorry to have lost you. I assure you that none of the seedlings were put in substantial danger from being in peat for an extra 24 hours.

Interesting picture I took a couple days ago. Not really sure what to make of it. Those leaves are really white.
