Auto In A Cup Grow Off Thread

[Quagmire]

I have been slacking on this lol. But I got 2 super hash autos above ground it's been like a week and they are still fairly small so I'll see what happens. Pics when I get home.

I'm having the same results so don't feel to bad my friend.. this is why I usually tell people to start Auto's in a 1gal pot until the sex, then keeper females into 3gal pots. Some recommend starting them in the larger 3gal pots, but I find they explode when transplanted into the 3gal pots from the 1gal.. plus you save the soil of having to fill a bunch of 3gal pots.. If you want 6 females like I do you have to plant around 15 seeds. I think this grow will prove to small of a pot can stunt plants by limiting the tap root's growth.. Hydro will do better as the roots have more room to spread out.

Good luck with the seeds. How come there's so much trouble germinating these autos?

Actually it's not just Auto's.. I've had a few friends plus myself who have had the same bad luck with Photo Period strains.. I had 6 Pacific G13 x BW totally stunt while others did just fine and are thriving.. I believe in what the old time gardeners say about planting by the moon phases and notice I have so much better luck when I plant during a full moon like we are going to have around Christmas..
For Ex:

• Plant flowering bulbs and vegetables that bear crops below ground during the dark, or waning, of the Moon: from the day after it is full to the day before it is new again.

Right now we are in front of this phase, well at least in my southern region of the US we are.. I usually plant mine on the 25th of the month hoping to have them above ground on the 1st to make it easy to track everything.. lol

I know I lost a few getting my 4 above ground.. hhmmmm.?

maybe we are all having some bad luck, but don't think it has much to do with Auto seeds.. heck, I had a seedling drop off the plant before I harvested and it is growing already.. too funny.

DV8Rs with tap root showing..

Potted up real quick.
Will have to repot in their true home tomorrow,was in a rush earlier and didn't want to leave in paper towel.
Stronge tap root on the top one,it was starting to grow into towel. Thought I was going to have to plant with towel,but it slid out while cutting paper towel.

Funny you should say that. Plus I spoke to soon myself. My money maker seeds aren't popping. Got 4 outta 10 seeds. Iv never had a germination issue before but iv hit a wall with these.
I only know when it's full moon by my behaviour.....

I have 4/4 that have taproots! All four have been potted and now hopefully reaching for the light.im hoping I will see something above ground by tomorrow on the DV8Rs.

I dont think you are allowed to cut the bottom out of your cup and set it on a 15 gallon pot....

 

[THCdurk]

He clearly said it wasn't rooting in pot under cup... @3N1GM4
