I am going to test it against Fox Farms since that is my go-to.
Some information about the strain I will be using:
Multiverse Beans Apples And Bananas Auto is a hybrid autoflowering strain testing 19-25% THC, combining Apples and Bananas auto unique genetics with Fatso 84’s heavy structure. Expect banana cream, tropical from the Multiverse Beans Preservation Line.
Put the seeds in a ziplock baggie with a wet paper towel September 23rd
Seeds cracked on September 24th and put into the dirt on September 25th
I thought in sunshine #4 , they say you should start feeding as soon as the plant sprouts! Unless you are using re amended soil from a past grow. If it’s new, id start feeding immediately at a low seedling dose, wk1 or whatever from the soil feed schedule.
Thanks @Kspun . I was thinking that I sprayed that little shell a lot hoping it will pop off. If it looks that way when I get home, I’ll pop another bean just in case.
Spray it with water to help loosen and soften it up and take a couple pairs of tweezers, one in each hand, and break that and the thin membrane off the sprout being careful to not damage the sprout. I try to grab both sides of the shell, one in each pair of tweezers and separate, I hold one side with my arm braced against something sturdy so it doesn’t wiggle or move the delicate sprout, and pull to separate the other side, being careful to not put any pressure in the sprout. Once the shell is off,make sure the thin membrane is off too, so the seeds can open. I get one or two of those every round, I think I germ my seeds too shallow sometimes, is the problem. It happens and is fixable just get on it ASAP
Both got a feeding this morning. Athena got some core and grow, but just a little. Fox Farms got some Cultivation Nation Veggie too, but just a little.
No pics today, nothing has really changed.
I’ll post up some pics tomorrow to see if either liked the ferts.
I didn’t do it. I have a half gallon watering can, so I did 2 teaspoons of Grow and 1 of Core, it should be near the right ratio for what I am working with. I am grabbing a couple of 3 gallon buckets this weekend to mix it and will toss in an aquarium aerator to keep it going.
