just about to begin another grow of Auto-flowering Purple Kush from Buddha seeds. had five seeds, put them all on to germinate, and from the way things look right now, all five have germinated. they were placed in between folded paper towel (as i did in my last grow journal as well), two days ago. now four of the five have first root sprouting from seed by about 1 CM, the other seed, has merely cracked, and no root is actually protruding from the seed casing yet. i think another day and it should be a bit further out. They will be potted, sometime tomorrow, in to 12liter square pots using Canna Coco as the growing medium, and more than likely canna coco nutrients A&B. they will be grown in a tent for possibly the first two weeks of their lives and then their environment will be getting upgraded. to begin with though, they will be put in a tent with a 12" oscillating fan, a 125rvk with carbon filter attached, and a 600W HPS using a pure sodium bulb. some people may argue the case for using a MH bulb for the first few weeks, or indeed just a dual spectrum throughout the entire time. i have a pure sodium bulb, and i expect these plants will begin to flower within two weeks, and from what i hear, they may take anywhere from 70, up to 90 days, so they may become rather large and i don't want that, so using a sodium bulb wont encourage too much foliage growth in the first two weeks, before it turns to flower and requires other part of the lights spectrum. i will try and post pics of progress as it all goes along. i have no idea of what to expect from these plants as i've only done automatics once before, and it was an 8 weeks auto, which i knew what to expect from. i have no idea with this. if anyone has any experience with auto's which can run 90 days, please let me know what you know. also, as always, anyone have questions about anything, feel free to ask and i'll try my best to answer. i'll try to update this as much as i can. i hoped to update my last grow journal at least twice a week, but its sort of dropped to once a week right now. i'll try to update this when i update my others as well. Peace!
