Good day to all. I go by the name Mr Cannibinoid and I am fairly new to
cultivating. I am in my thirties and have always wanted to grow medical marijuana. I am currently using some soil that I acquired
from a local nursery and have had great success with the tomatoes I have been growing with this soil. I know it is late in the season
to attempt an outdoor grow, but out here in California it still nice and sunny. My first attempts at growing have always been interrupted
by some sort of uncontrollable, unforeseen circumstances in regards too my health.
It's now or never in my opinion and have purchased some beans from an international proprietor.
I have always been curious about autoflowers as well as being some what apprehensive in regards to their potency,
but I believe that they ingenuity of these business savoy breeders have more than likely stabilized
the genes and I have decided to give ATF's a go.
I have purchased a 10 pack of Royal Queen Northern Light ATF and have germinated four.
O.k. now that I have given a nice and brief introduction of my self and my circumstances, if you fellows do not mind here's my question.
If I germinated four beans on August 24 2012 and 48 hrs later the tap root was long enough for me to sow them in the soil, how many days old would they be today?
When do I consider it to be day one? Would day one be considered the first day I germinated them? or is day one considered to be the first day
the plant broke the top of the soil exposing its Cotyledon's?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks Mr Cannibinoid.:peace:


These photos were taken yesterday 9 14 2012 and I not sure if there 21 days old or 17 days old.
21 days would be counting from the very first day of germination, and 17 days would be starting to count the days when the plant broke the top soil.
any vets or any one who understands the day counting concept please chime in.

Just a reminder I am not a pro, I am doing the best with what I have to work with, just need some meds.

Welcome to the site Mr Cannibinoid! :smokebuds:

The little ones are looking very nice. :thumbs:
For me, Day 1 is when they poke their heads out of the soil. For others, Day 1 is the day they set the bean in the dirt. Personal preference, I guess. ;)

Happy Growing! Big Green Girlie Karma on the way... :wiz:
