LSD-25 autoflower, new grower, also trying to make feminized seeds

[DirtyDave1990]

INTRO: So this is my fourth overall grow (first 2 were like 9-10 years ago, and number 3 is 5 weeks into flowering) this is my first auto strain and I am also going to try to herm a plant using colloidal silver and then use that to make a BUNCH of feminized seeds. So I will be starting one plant to turn into a male and make pollen with while I start the other 4 1-2 months behind.

SEEDS, SOIL, GROW AREAS: this grow will be LSD-25 autoFlowering seeds. My soil mix is 60% fox farms organic ocean forest, 20% vermiculite and 20% coco coir. I also put a Dixie cup hole in the center and filled it with only coco so that the seedling wouldn’t hit the hot soil right away (advice given on this here great community when I posted a thread about 80% of my seedlings from grow #3 failing). I’m starting my one mail seed in a paper towel today and I mixed my soil and packed the pot today. I’m using a 1 gallon fiber pot. I chose one gallons pots because my flowering area is smaller and I’m going for a sea of green effect (I know from seed it’s not true sea or green) my flowering area is about 2.75’x3.5’ It’s a modified tool shed that I made to help conceal it in my garage for now.
I start my plants indoors and will move them outside when they start to flower and smell.
Pics and more to come when I plant the first seed in a couple days.

Just planted my first seed today. It already popped and had about a 1/8-1/4 inch root out of it, took just under 2 days from when I put it in the napkin. I planted it 1/4 inch deep into my center of coco coir and then misted the area with a spray bottle after I covered it.

Sprouting this morning

Just planted my next two seedlings in the soil today. They germinated in a paper towel for about 36 hours before they split open. I had to start these two now because of being out of town for 4 days in about 2 weeks from now so I’m hoping their past their super delicate stage by then

1 of the second set of seedlings didn’t make it but the other one is doing well and my first plant has about 3-4 sets of true leaves on it. I am getting ready to do a very light feeding on this plant but am posting some questions to this site before I start

What’s around the base of the plant on top of ur soil ?

What’s around the base of the plant on top of ur soil

It’s coco. If you look closely at the stem you can see that below the leaves it is about half as thick as it is higher up. This was causing it to already be too top heavy so I piled up some coco coir (sp?) to help keep it up. This is also what’s making me think I should already give it a little fertilizer to strengthen the stem. I was thinking fish emulsion 5-1-1

A little Breeze on em will help strengthen also you can stake them

Don't feed plants anything for 2 weeks, their seed husk has everything they need until then. Keep on truckin and reading up on the site.

the plants are about three weeks old and I know they’re a very fast growing strain. I wasnt gonna feed at all for the first month but I just thought they may need it. You think I shouldn’t feed yet?

I do have an oscillating fan on them so they get a few seconds of breeze then a few seconds of calmness 24/7

feed only 1/2 of what the package says to give....rule of thumb....

I’m not sure what type of plant cannabis would fall Under from the instructions listed on the bottle. I’m thinking either (houseplants, violets, ferns.) or ( roses, flowers annual and perennial) I’ve attached pics. Any advice?

 

[sambapati]

Looks like 1/4 tsp is where you should start

Quick update on my minor notes from the last week or so, this is more for me To have a log than anything.
when I measured the most mature plant on 8/22 it was 8” tall when I measured iton 8/28 it was now 15” tall and had switched to flowering.

on 8/28 I also started spraying colloidal silver on the least mature plant. I read it will take about 2 weeks to start to grow the pollen sacks and then 2 weeks for them to mature.
9-1 I started my 3rd seed in a wet napkin and put it in soil on 9-3

 

[DirtyDave1990]

So I’ve been spraying the plant that I’m trying to herm out with the colloidal silver. I’ve been spraying 2-3 times a day for two weeks and haven’t seen any signs of pollen sacs forming. I am seeing bud sites develop though. Does anyone have any advice on this?

 

[DirtyDave1990]

Looks like I finally have some pollen sacs forming

 

[sambapati]

Sure it is now NFL football season, you will see sacks LOL

 

[DirtyDave1990]

I’m actually now wondering if these are pollen sacs forming or if they’re just pre buds

Planted my last lsd-25 seed in the soil on 9/18
