Grape Icecream by Going2Fast

[Mollisol]

I started Grape Icecream autos. Gifted to me by @Going2fast

I usually plant directly to soil. But not this time. I started 3 seeds with the old paper towel method.

I place the damp towel between two porcelain dinner plates. I use an old desk lamp with a 100 watt. incandescent bulb, to warm the plates. I adjust the lamp so that the top plate is warm. Baby bottle warm.

Two days later tap roots emerged.

Planted directly to FFOF in 3 gallon fabric pots. I added extra perlite this time as well.

 

[Mollisol]

Watered one gallon H20 with 1tsp backstrap molasses each. Ph adjusted to 6.5. Three days later all three germinated.



So far so good. Im going to update this thread every Sunday.

That's exactly how I germinate my seeds with a 12 hr shot glass soak first. Paper towel in two plates right in the tent with light on 50%. 1/2" tail in two days. Always seems to work for me. I do use fine tweezers to maneuver the seed. Never touch the tail.

I keep the perlite heavy in the top of the pot where the seedling starts 50/50ish and at the bottom just coco. Holds a bit more water for buffer that way and when it's filled out the pot doesn't need to breath down there...just like a soil grow

Gonna watch.
My recent GIC's were the best producing plants I've grown. At least 3oz per plant. Might be my best % return on hashing and extracting.

 

[Mollisol]

Hmmm. Bluey I'll have to try that next time. I don't usually add anything to FFOF. Everything I read suggested that Auto's like a lighter airyer soil. So I tossed in a double handful and just mixed it by hand in the pot.

Way to grow Mollisol your becoming a perpetual farmer LOL this is the way i learned skills, it's really through growing perpetually i think is the best way for you to do grows and knowing what's wrong or right that works for you. It all boils down to repetive growing and becoming comfortable using what you use. And it's such a good feeling when it all clicks. I like added perilite to my soil mixes. Another grower friend does the same putting it down on the bottom i've never done it though just mixed in extra per pot.

Love it, let’s grooow! I’ll be following along for sure

 

[Bluey]

My take on that re autos was the oerlite helps them get going a bit quicker. That's why I only bothered doing the tops of the pots for the autos

 

[Mollisol]

That's the goal SoOrbudgal. I refuse to pay dispensery prices. And I never want to run out again!

 

[Bluey]

SoOrbudgal has had to do the walk of shame through the dispensary doors a few times now. Any tips SoOrbudgal on how to pull it off and still save face for the rest of us?

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Shiiittt i've done that dern walk too frequently fellas. Maybe i give too much away from summer maybe i roll and smoke too many doobies LOL either way i run out. I've got pipes, just don't use them that would save me some bud. I did smoke a gram outta my pipe last night but i'm so spoiled rolling big fatties but i can't now. I'm growing less photos this summer and more autos outdoors. I gotta pace myself better, ya think? Hey Mollisol i won't every pay the 12 gram prices never. That's for someone else, i don't pay more than $4 gram but mostly $2 for bud not shake. It's decent i know the shop owners. I also get " senior discounts" LOL

 

[Bluey]

SoOrbudgal have you tried a dry herb vape, the ones that use hot air and don't burn your herb? Bud goes heaps further I've found than burning it in a joint

 

[Orggrwr]

The dry herb vapes are a great way to go. I got one about a year ago and now I vape more than I smoke. Easier on the lungs and the flavor is much better than smoking. For me the buzz seems more mellow than smoking but others say the opposite so I guess it varies person to person. And as a bonus it makes weed go farther.

 

[Going2fast]

Subscribed. Thank you for do doing a journal on your grow. Much love. Hope you enjoy them.

 

[Going2fast]

Look up the pinky. Built one for a hundred bucks.best ball vape for your money and you can still use your old glass.

 

[Mollisol]

I applied for jobs at two different dispensaries. I haven't heard back yet.

Holy shit

SoOrbudgal how much can you get out of 1 outdoor autoflower?
I don't like having tolerance so I take T breaks. Damn cold sweats and insomnia. Doing a clinical trial for which I can't piss test positive, otherwise I'd vape my trim. Mine's gonna be well cured by the time it's over if I don't ruin it. Will be cool if it feels like the first time again.
