Indoor Bill's Test Thread

About a month later than I really wanted but next batch going. 6 Frost Brothers (Sour Skunk x Skunk) and as many Wishing Stars as will pop (8 so far).

Since these regular auto flowers will be waiting for sex to show before transplanting with main consideration going to the FB's for hopefully a 4 and 2 of females. Wanting a male of each for pollenation.

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

Gotta fade going good on the 3BOG cross. 60/65 day according to Meph and we about 75.

Pulled a likely candidate calyx off with tweezers to do a check.

Other than a quantity pic when I chop em I'm considering this test a success and done.
Getting seeds is one thing, getting seeds that will grow is another. So 2 days in a cup of water and....

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

So, I'm hoping to be able to mostly use water in my reservoir for my autopots with a little fiddling into flower....

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

Ok, got permission through OSS from TreeSinger to use the males on the Wishing Star line...So gotta figure out which one or ones are going out on the back deck for pollen. Going to be a chore but hopefully I'll get pollen quickly so it can be chopped. Maybe it'll help him decide if he wants to carry that line farther...So, we will have 5 Wishing Star females and 1 Mephisto Strawberry Mango Crumble in the tent. Still in the process of getting it cleaned and set up, all autopot gear cleaned now and sitting on my bed so at least the tent will be cleaned and the trays set before I can sleep tonight. Got 2 pots worth of the old soil ( from last grow) in the bin being mixed 1/4 addition of perlite, and twice recommended Osmocoat. Next 2 will be at recommended dosage and half dosage for the last 2.....Fully expect to have some failure especially going into flower which should start pretty quickly.......

So, finally busted the outdoor seeders apart and got the seeds.....final tally of auto seeds.
GT x GT(F1).........= full vial over 100 seeds.
GT (S1)..................=full vial over 100 seeds.
GT x Big Bomb =only 22 seeds

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

They seem to be doing fine. No difference between 1,2 or 3 scoops in the pots.

Wishing Stars starting to show Frost

Strawberry Mango Crumble

Still haven't turned on the res.....pots still heavy from the mosquito bits drenches...

Still nothing but water so far and I haven't even pH'ed it, just straight from the tap. Another 20 to 30 days I think.

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

Still only water straight from the tap.

A few have some tip burn but not too bad.

The Strawberry Mango Crumble showing some rust colored spots that I'm thinking could be from not pH ing the water causing a slight lockout. But it's not too bad or even near as bad as I've had at times before.

And a couple closer shots

So far it's working out fairly well but the real test will be the next couple of rounds to see if it can be a sustainable nutrient program.
Thought about it a bit and with the bit of used soil I have left if I buy a small bag of cheap ass potting soil I should be able to fill up enough solo cups to start next round. I had a good seeding from the STS test so I'm going to do the GT's and cause they were about the size of these maybe 2 per pot.
