Virgin auto run oh and journal

[SoOrbudgal]

Look at those little kindergardeners LOL I'm having strike outs with germ. seeds. I'm using old seeds who knows they are also autos. Been doing all the tricks of the trade to get them cracked. Those plants look good to me soon they will all be covering that tent floor SOG

[Tedtheclown]

They definitely look healthy so you doing them good!

[MeEasy]

Just a quick update on the auto girls, seedlings are just not that exciting but they wanted a drink today so I took a pic. I'm sure you can tell which ones I had to re-pop the seeds if you can't you will probably be needing a new hobby soon 😉 lol. Have a good evening or morning, afternoon, middle of the night for our other parts of the world neighbors

Yeah I am overwatering. Your dead on when you say that its tricky getting it right. I always have runoff. I need to cut that out.

[HobbitGDF]

Yeah. All signs say overwater.

[MeEasy]

Nebula put this article out sometime last year and I find alot of stuff that is being blamed on ph could definitely be overwatering but it's hard to convince someone when they have been growing for a long time that they have a plant being sensitive to their watering habits. Look at all the different shit that could be a simple watering issue that I'm guilty of flushing a plant for only for it to get worse instead of better. How many times did I flush for a watering issue?

It can be it's been probably the hardest part for me, getting the watering right and I think I still don't have it right which is why I am putting the p probiotics on them to make sure the soil has enough life. It's hard to change from watering when it is dry to trying to keep it from getting dry. The way I'm doing it now is a half gal skip two days a quart skip a day then a half gal again it seems to be keeping it better idk. Keep in mind this is only my third round with this stuff. Once I get back to feeling better I'm gonna try the stuff from kis organics it similar to ed. I really enjoy playing with different types of training, defoliation techniques, and light schedules just different shit to see what happens and since I bought new lights and tents I have to start all over with some stuff I had already done but under the cheap blurple lights. Hell I will probably try adding the blurple lights back into my little experiments lol

[HobbitGDF]

the others are fine, it's just this one

[HobbitGDF]

Yeah this grow has had the full treatment of ED. It was my last one that was 1/2 treatment.
Yes it is a carbon filter.
I also have the shaker bottle of plant microbes and probiotic. I will.add some In next watering. I dont think i ever let them dry tho. Maybe to wet really
Could it be caused by overwatering?

[MeEasy]

What is the ph and ppm of your tap water? What type filter and are you sure it has carbon? Mine is pretty far out and I don't have a problem not ph'ing. No I've never heard of the geoflora. Didn't you say you haven't used ed all the way through? Did you allow the soil to cook for a couple weeks? Last if you're allowing the soil to dry it won't work for you because the micros won't live in dry soil

[SoOrbudgal]

I don't know HobbitGDF me having issues with my last 2 auto seeds. Did the same as MeEasy the 2nd time with the same seeds. Now they are tucked away in the towel an baggie if no show tomorrow out the window with them and begin somemore.

[SoOrbudgal]

That's now my go to way also MeEasy with the seeds. I just did that solution yesterday, then back into the towel, tomorrow if no show both get tossed. My other 2 seeds sprouted in 24hrs, into there permanent homes under the t-5 now.

[HobbitGDF]

Good luck. You got this. Man I'm still having issues. Idk if its cause the filter water or me not ph'ing.
I'm about to start my 1st full photoperiod grow.

Have you heard of geoflora? It's like earthdust. same size, about same price. I'm thinking of trying.
I always just plant the seed straight to soil in 4gal pot. Dome.
&
about 90% success with that. For me.
I fail worse other ways of germ.

Lookin forward to your flowers on these.

[MeEasy]

All 8 are above ground and seem to be healthy enough to live, this grow has so many firsts for me, 1st autos, 1st time I tried to germ completely in a cup (no p towels) big mistake imo 50% failed (could be as 9fingerleafs said soaking in the peroxide water mix I normally leave em 24 hours in cups and transfer to p towels) to grow and I used cup to p towels on replacements 100% are up, and 1st time I planted straight into forever home pots I have always used some kind of starter pot mainly so I can fix any normal seedling flaws like long or crooked stems but it seems to be doing okay so far. I treated these with bit juice this morning (soaked mosquito bits strained) not necessarily to water them but to wet the living soil to keep it moist and I've been seeing a few gnats in all my tents

I just popped a couple photos for the other 2x4 purple skunk and Gelato OG thought I'd share

[HobbitGDF]

I'm also a straight to soil kind of grower.
I have best success with that.
