Amekins’ Fantastical Faerie Garden Grow Diary

[Fudge]

How have I only just seen this thread now I'll need to find time to read through. Looking brilliant from what I've seen.

Your Autoflower may be a Photoperiod. I bought a 10 pack and the first I grew, never really flowered, but 2 others from different Breeder finished out great next to her. And I tried another on my hydro grow. Once again she never flower until I flipped her to 12/12 and now she is in her last week.
So sometimes could just be bad seed batch. But don't hate on Autos too much. Have grown some NuGGz with them.
Your plants look beautiful!!

Just reminded me to get my garden seeds going now as well, time for the busy season.

I’ve been considering putting her in the closet for 12 hrs a day with the purple punch to see if she will flower. Now I’m even more in favor.

I decided the blue dream is going to start 12/12 in the morning.

Found a pic finally.
This was actually almost exactly a year ago. Back 2 were going well, they flowered well and she never did much. And even with the gal I'm growing now I tried pushing it to a 13/11 light cycle and she wanted to re-veg.

All sixteen (16) seeds have been placed in jiffy pellets in the tent. Most had at least cracked (a few hadn’t, we will see what they do). All seeds were put in a wet folded paper towel in a baggie in a warm dark spot for 48 hrs. The domes will come off for the first sprouts. The clones are hanging in there. I’m throwing in a pic of Marble and Boots who each have a slipper.

Late to wake and bake today. This little glass taster pipe is my favorite at the moment.

Obviously very interested in the germ rate on those...

I didn’t want to let any of them sit in wet warm darkness for more than 48 hrs so we’ll see. More had cracked than not. One had a teeny tail and one played hard to get .

I let mine get a quarter to half inch tap root in the paper towels before I plant them.

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

I’m not a paper towel bean fella either.
Soak for 8-12hrs. Then pop into whatever.
Always 80-100% germ.
Once again. Different strokes.

Do you soak them first? How many days (typically) do you wait to see that much growth?

For me, the method alleviates some anxiety of “well did it even crack open? did I just drowned it until it rotted?” when it doesn’t sprout. Though admittedly, the anxiety is mostly not based in fact lol. It hasn’t happened to me very often.

Everyone was fed and watered. I think I’m ready to pull the plug on the tangerine dream af. Today was supposed to be the outside date for harvest. There are still so many white pistils and no frost whatsoever. Both coco plants were flushed yesterday as their salts had gone up and ph way down. I’m not sure there is anything really I can do to recover this plant to something useful. I’m undecided so I may just let the thing dry out in the pot. Everyone else appears to be alive and growing. No seeds have sprouted through. I suspect by tomorrow a few will have sprouted. I see greening up of the pitiful clones so far, but no new growth. At least the flowering purple punch from which they are cloned is developing a little frost.

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

At least the tomato flowers look good.
Don’t you dare harvest that AF yet. That would be a crime.

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

I’m twisting up some tangerine AF that finished a couple months ago.
forgive my trimming
Some hairy ass goo.

It has nothing. It’s not even a harvest. It’s just death.

Zip. Nada. Nothing.

There are zero trichomes to evaluate.

 

[Kanzeon]

Yeah, this is a perfect example of when to abort mission. That plant isn't worth the space that it's taking up, and with no end in sight there's no telling how long it could need to flower to even potentially make it worth it. Better to literally cut your losses.

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Uggg. She is pretty sad.
if you’ve got no room, I’d chop
If you dry and smoke that shit tho, you will be chasing your cats all over the house for real.
