Hi, so glad I found this place. Stumbled upon it kind of how I stumbled upon 6 seeds of original Lowryders from 2005 in my attic a couple of weeks ago.
Impatiently I germinated three if them and decided to make a window sill grow while I reeducated myself. Needless to say, the window sill idea is out. But I'll get to that.
Back in 2005 there was very little information about auto flowers, at least to my knowledge, and so I did my best and grew 4 of them in a single 5l pot under 5 20w cfl inside a speaker. One of them turned out to be a male, so after harvesting and drying (didn't even cure them right, just left them in a brown paper bag in a closet for two weeks) I had like just under an ounce (I guess from the size, no scale either hehe). Anyhow, circumstances prevented me from growing more and I forgot about the remaining seeds - and here we are today.
I germinated three seeds and got to reading. And even if I understood that window grows we're hard, my apartment face 178 degrees south with well over 16 hours of sunlight (10 of them direct). But after you see my pictures you'll see why I gave up and bought a tent (coming next week). Also, my untried pot laws are quite crazy so I want to stealth it up.
Pictures are of Day 21 (somewhat unsure, forgot to make a note of the sprout date, but I know when I put the seeds in water, which is 28 days ago).
The setup is south facing window sill, organic soil with chicken manure, mixed with non organic soil with 11-5-8 (30/70% mix) with perlite, bottom layer of leca. Humidity is between 25-55, which is hard to control. Temp around 25-32. They are all in plastic buckets with a lot of air holes and drain holes in the bottom.
One of the plants is doing real well (Biggie), one is closely behind (Smallie) and the third is super slow, and has mutations (nodes coming out as one and a half leaves) (the Cousin).
I don't have any questions atm, but I'm sure they will come. Feel free to ask me anything.
