I'm subbing for this, I've had a few pyramid auto purple seeds I've never used. I'd like to see how they do.

 

[dr_rob_auto]

welcome for the ride iv heard that cold weather can really bring out the colours so that shouldn't be a problem up here. im really excited about the Black Cream SweetSeeds are usually pretty bang on the money. any way il update with photos etc as soon as we get something

 

[dr_rob_auto]

afternoon afn. well all seeds had popped taproots after 24 hours so heres a quick update iv got five 12L pots with 60% compost (no slow release nutes) 30% perlite and a dash of fine gravel, sand and homemade compost for good measure also chucke in some Epsom salts try save having to do it down the line. as I said im mostly relying on the sun which is good as Britain is in a very uncommon heat wave atm so somebodys up theres helping. got them all in theyre final pots and watered in with a light dose of maxi-cro seaweed extract. so for now until they pop soil and maybe 1st week iv also got a 15W LED panel over them and 2x 20w cfl. il update soon with baby photos. peace love n light

We have life

well happy days my Black Cream has won the race to break soil somepoint between 10 this morning and 2 this afternoon, had to gently coax of the seed case but seems fine for such a new born. hope the others follow soon so I can get loving them. anyway few quick questions?

1. the soil is still damp from watering it in so how long really should I wait at this point because I know this really is the danger time getting them going? I have a water mister?
2. I bought Maxi-grow Seaweed extract which is a growth stimulant so should I use that from the beginning? and also do I start weaker than recommended and work up like nutes?

anyway back to work. Peace Love n Light!

 

[dr_rob_auto]

well its day what day two I think and everything has broke the soil apart from my bubble gum so we're off to a good start me thinks but still looking to find some help on using my maxi-grow if anybody can help?

 

[dr_rob_auto]

theres been a mudererrrrr...

oh no well as I said everything bar one had popped(looked like damaged seed) but I was carefully tickling the seed casing off my Kera Crazy Bud and I kind of pulled off its little leaves so now im left with a tiny green stalk, will thius grow? its not one of the priority strains I wanted to grow, more I had spare ash to round my order up????

gangly bunch

evening folks all is going well here well healthy anyway iv got two gangly little buggers the Black Cream and what I think is the Amphetamine are both about 3-4'' tall really stretched and the Auto Purple is about 2" tall but not really doing much? I mean I know theyre young and maybe im just an over critical parent but god damn!!

1st pic is the baby AP the 2" the BC

Hey dr. Rob let me preface this with I'm am very new to growing, but it would seem to me that stretching in a window sill grow would be fairly common. There just trying to get as much light as possible. They look healthy enough. I hope you don't mind me stopping in and commenting.
