Indoor Muddy's Blackskull Auto Test Grow

[Muddy]

This will be my first grow started since coming over here full time so wanted to get a grow log going on them. This is a test grow of some as yet unreleased new autos from Blackskull. I originally had 10 seeds, 2 each of 5 strains. I had already germed 4 seeds and had the other 6 soaking when the whole chopper incident went down. I wasn't able to pot up the 6 that were soaking for 2 days and by that time they had soaked too long. Of those 6 I only had 1 that survived, so have a total of 5 plants, 2 auto Jack Herer, 2 Pineapplegum and 1 Diesel Matic. Unfortunately I lost the other Diesel Matic, and both Critical and Speed Haze.

These will be grown under my 180 watt GLH Led in 3 gallon pots. The grow medium is straight Pro Mix HP with blood, bone and kelp meals, epson salts, Humboldt Myco Max, micronized humic acid and micronized minerals. For this grow I'm switching nutes to the GH line. The Jack and Pineapplegum were 3 weeks old on Saturday, the Diesel Matic, 2 1/2 weeks.

These are by far the most hardy auto seedlings I've grown to date. At two weeks they were as big as some Onyx x AA seeds that were started a week before. They were started under a 175 watt MH and four 23 watt, 6500k CFLs in the HP with 1/4 teaspoon blood meal per 4.5" square by 5" deep pot. First feeding of 1/4 strength BioThrive Grow and Black Diamond was given at 2 weeks. They handled this well so the next feeding was increased to 1/2 strength. They were potted up to the 3 gallon pots yesterday, given another 1/2 strength feeding and moved under the LED. I just checked them and am already seeing new growth, so no transplant issues.

I generally do weekly updates, so stay tuned, I've got a feeling these could be something special given the quick start they have gotten off to.

The plants were ready for their next feeding yesterday, 4 days after transplant. They all looked good and had enough time to adapt to their new pots and light, so I hit them with another 1/2 strength BioThrive but also added 1/2 a teaspoon per gallon of 5-1-1 fish emulsion. I just checked them and the growth just from yesterday is very noticeable. The big Jack grew an inch and is 6" tall, has 6 nodes and two side branches working their second nodes, all at 20 days. The other four are all 5". I'm sure others have seen this kind of rapid growth this early but I personally haven't. I'm using the same methods I always use so can only assume it's the genetics. If so, I'm impressed. If they continue the same growth rates I've had with some other strains over the next 3 weeks, they could end up in the neighborhood of 28". If I they take this feeding well I will probably feed full strength BioThrive next feeding and then hit them with more fish the time after.

Watch out with those "experimental" seeds one wrong move with your leds and ferts you're liable to cause a chemical reaction that'll turn you into a zombie; or if you're lucky, you'll get some kind of super power.
