GazaGod1986 Autoflower Seed Run May2015

[MisterHarpy]

The soil im using is germ soil and it was in a clear zip lock 5lb bag they mixed.When i did the germ i had bought a heating germ mat and thermostat and dome with rockwool cause i had issues popping the seed,so when i went to hydro store guy sold me all that and i said i have some very good tomato seeds and want to guarentee the grow he said to adjust ph level to 5.5 to 6 and keep thermostat on 80 or 79.So i planted another seed Within 3 days it popped and that 1 is in the pic.But previous to all thatI had planted a black crem in veg/flower soil it never popped now i have it in rockwool on the germ mat and it still wont pop . Did i kill or hurt the seed?

So the hydro guy sold you a 5lb mix of his germ mix? And then you also have a veg soil mix? The veg soil could've been way too strong and killed it but also You really don't water seeds when they're germing,you water the medium and have it moist before putting the seed in and then let it germ and grow till the medium is a tad dry, so I'm thinking you might've drowned it if you watered it while germing. And that kills it, while germing you have to keep it moist not wet, if it's in the rock wool try to see if you can see the seed and what's going on with it very very carefully. But since you now have a germination kit with a dome, heat mat, and rock wool I would suggest you start using and learning it. Personally I don't use rock wool as the moving it into soil scares me that I might hurt it's roots, so I use jiffy pellets and dome. I put the seed in the pellet, when the seed pops I take off dome, after about a few days I then place the pellet unto it's final pot with some "germ" soil around the pellet. But that's just my method and there's many methods in here that work great also. I believe the hydroponic guys use rock wool more than us soil guys so you might have a look around the hydro forum

Ok what i had did was took black cream seed planted it in the veg/flower soil watered waited like 10 days and nothing . So i went to hydro store and bought germ pad ,humidity dome and thermostat , i took a diffrent black cream seed and did the rockwool and 3 days it popped.So i planted that in the mix soil doing good. So i went back into that veg soil and found that black cream seed and put that in rockwool in dome on mat and nothing!

I tried tiresias mist as well, but did not have any luck. I've also been using colloidal silver to reverse autoflower clones. While they fully reverse, I have also found the sacs to be empty. They have turned male but given no pollen. I'm trying the experiment again now with lower strength colloidal silver to see if that changes the outcome.

I would start my plant to be reversed 2 weeks before starting the plants to be pollinated. I would spray the tiresias mist once a day on one single branch, making sure to coat the branches/stems and not just the leaves. You will also most likely self pollinate that plant in the process, so more beans for you.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Thnx qbd,i was planning on doing the whole plant,on their website "Tiresias Mist" it states start treating "Autoflowers" when 5 inches tall and to treat the whole plant for best results. So what im assuming is that they want it to be treated it at 5in due to the quick life of autos.Im really not sure myself but thats what their website states.

I have a 4oz bottle on my 2nd seed run i want to reverse purple kush auto i hope i will still have enough for that run also

Turn off one light for now, it'll keep temperature down while you get a ac unit, if those are the temps with led, I can't imagine what they would be with hps. Also I would say seed is dead after that long, specially if after ten days in soil when you dug it out,there was no root or crack then it's dead

 

[Gazagod1986]

My plan is

1st seed run (Black cream Male)
black cream auto x black cream auto
black cream auto x purple kush auto

And on my 2nd seed run ( Purple kush Male)
Purple kush auto x purple kush auto
Purple kush auto x black cream auto
