Stain:
Gary Payton x Okie X 2012 cement shoes (fem photo untested)
Dropped 2 seeds at 1PM today 8/5, will pick first seedling that breaks through the soil once planted
Seeds soaking in 20ml tap water / 1ml 3% peroxide sitting on the @SpiderFarmerLED heat mat, always have success with the mat, will probably pop them into medium before bed in a small 1 cup pot to sprout and put inside the cloner under the dome

Medium will be promix BX-M and additional perlite
Will be using mainly organics, in the sense it must have a ORMI approval on the package, Gaia green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4, azomite, epsom, gypsum, myco, fox farm microbe brew, big bloom, and cal mag as needed, as well as advanced nutrients organics Mikes OG Tea, earthworm castings, possibly some coast of Maine fish bone meal and kelp meal, will be making teas as well if I can keep her healthy with organics I’ll keep her that way if not she needs a boost I’ll supplement but document so it’s known, plan is organic through and through if possible!

Strain - Tropicana Cookies
Type - Photoperiod
Medium - Soil (Fox Farm or Pro-Mix)
Nutrients - Synthetic (maybe Flora Series)
Pot Type & Size - 1.2 gallon Air Pot, base will be moved up a couple rows to get closer to 1 gallon.

Might do a SIP but not sure yet, might feed the wicks so they're in place if I can't keep up with watering in an Air Pot.

I'm not really sure what my plans are yet, first time growing in anything under 3 gallons so this is all new. I don't think I'll scrog for this grow, probably just LST clips. Just going to see what the plant gives me and make it up as I go lol.

Dropped Seed this morning.
Soaked for 13 hours.
Placed in paper towels.

STRAIN Sour Diesel
TYPE Feminized photo period
MEDIUM Organic soil 1/3 Coco , 1/3 Earthworm castings, 1/3 Silica enhanced perlite
NUTRIENTS Build a soil Craft blend , weekly watering of Recharge, and Neptunes Harvest organic line, with fox farm cal mag and ewc tea.
CONTAINER/POT 2 gallon fabric pot filled with 4.5 liters of soil and trimmed to the fill line, with 1.5 liters removed for future top dressing. So starting at 3 liters of soil.
GROW SETUP Using 1x3 x3 portion of tent with fixed lighting at 27 inches high, using a Mars Hydro TS1000 dimming full spectrum LED, and a 3x3 doubled over scrog net. My plan is to try and utilize the limited amount of vertical space by filling out the entire 1x3 canopy using low stress training and scrog netting.
3 seeds were soaked this morning 8/5/24 at 8 am eastern standard time. Then transferred to damp paper towel and sandwich bag this evening 8/5/24 at 9:30 est. I will check them tomorrow morning and again tomorrow afternoon to see if they have sprouted. They’re going to be kept in a dark light proof container until transported to solo cup.

Strain: Sour Jealousy Auto from fast buds
Will be in bio bizz light mix with added perlite, vermiculite, coco coir, diatomaceous earth and great white mycorrhizae.
Bio bizz organic range of liquid nutrients.

I dropped my seed (sounds wrong ) at 5pm yesterday the 5th August, into some rain water with a small pinch of mycorrhizae. Will transfer to paper towel later today.
Then into a 4.5l air pot where I have moved the base up 2 levels so it’s more like a legit gallon. Also added some moisture wick in case I have to work away at all over the next few months.

Good luck everyone

I'm here, I'm here.
Any other women here besides me and Cpurola? (Why she not on the list? you forgot also Galgrows- or did you )

I will be sprouting in germ timeframe week.
Just waiting for light to come so I can finish the set up.
I have 55 day from seed autos so probably will harvest first anyway and I am here for shits and giggles only as I am no expert and just want to have a bit of fun and gain some skills while at it

Strain: Babushka Black Auto (Kalashnikov Seeds)
Medium: Coco, hand watered
Pot - less than 1 US gallon air pot (by mistake- god help me )
Nutes- any Advanced Nutrients leftovers I have

I have 3 seeds here if they will all sprout I will put one in 0.8 gallon in coco, second in 2.8 gallon in mixture of coco and light mix and third one in 5 gallon full of soil.
I call it Babushka project
I will just add that I grew autos just few times, never successfully grew in coco and never grew in mixture of coco and soil and pot below 1 gallon

Nutrients: TBD
Container: #1 nursery pot, but If I find one closer to 1g I'll use it.

Alright God damn it y'all are makin' me break a Cardinal Rule here, but I guess I'll make this one exception
Mikedin said:

​
RED
= INITIAL ENTRY POST NOT MADE - NOT CONFIRMED
GREEN
= INITIAL ENTRY PHOTO POSTED - CONFIRMED ENTERED
ADDITIONAL MEMBERS WILL BE SPLIT BETWEEN THE GROUPS


Mondays and Thursdays will be photo submission date for group 1

Click to expand...
You may confirm me - Romulan Glue seed, scarified and planted in ProMix HP in biodegradable fabric pot top dressed with a little Xtreme Gardening Mykos WP =

For the rest of the contest I will continue to take pictures on the days of each week that I'm supposed to. All my pics are timestamped in the file name. I will upload *all* of my pics as soon as I chop.

Two reasons for this. 1. My number 1 Cardinal Rule is to never share pics online of *anything I'm currently growing* and 2. I have no stable internet connection for the foreseeable future. It literally took me 20 minutes just to upload that photo. I can *barely* load these topics at all - especially the photo heavy ones.


So just so y'all know I'm not trying to pull any shady shit
