Indoor WildBill's Spring 2022 Photo and Auto grow

[WildBill]

As the title says, Seeds in the ground!

Just not in the containers I planned! LOL! Yup......stoner moment!!
I planted the 3 Bears OG X Double Grape first...............in the regular Earthboxes. They were supposed to go in the 3gal bags.
So Trainwreck will still get an Earthbox, just a Jr.
Wizard's Apprentice x Tangie will go in the 3gal bags.
When flipping to 12/12, the Wizard's Apprentice x Tangie and Trainwreck will go into the 2x4.
I guess I'll have to plant the last 3BOG and reverse it and pollinate a few branches. I'll have to pollinate a branch/s that I can leave on the plant after I harvest for the seeds to fully mature. The reversed 3BOG will go into my little 2.3x2.3 tent when I see the pollen develop.I'll probably put any Trainwreck clones there too.
Wizard's Apprentice x Tangie will have to be my nute test. Not the size of pot I wanted, but it will have to do.
Trainwreck in the 2x4 may be a bit of deal to keep in control. I could still use a net, but with the tighter confines and different containers, I think bamboo will suffice for support in late flower. With the 3gal bags, training will be more of a natural form, so that's cool to see..
I'd like to have one more strain in this grow. I told SuperSativaSeedClub-David I'd use one of the strains they had sent to me last year in their Seed for Diary here thread. I think Auto Elephant will be a good candidate. It's a fine example of a reason for me to transplant. I'm avoiding transplanting seedlings and mainly direct plant after a soak. I'm not running a separate tent to germ one seed or two seeds. So one Elephant and the last 3BOG will go into little planters in the 4x4.

Not quite what I wanted, but it will work out fine in the end.
Adapt and overcome!!

Well, at least one has broken ground! LOL! I was getting a bit worried. This is the longest I've had to wait for one to sprout.
Naturally, the first was a Meph girl!

 

[WildBill]

This morning, One Wizard's Apprentice x Tangie is now fully up and unfurled with the other showing.

 

[WildBill]

Both Linda seeds are above the ground!
AVT should be up later today!
Rainbow Glue above ground but needs to fully open. Acapulco Gold should break the surface sometime today.
24hr soak and less than 36 to break the surface, I like that!

Just checked at first light and everyone is happily praying to the MarsHydro SP6500
I also reset the light after turning it down to do all the work. Reset it to 250. Will raise the levels slightly next week when the little ones catch up.
Speaking of little ones, the replacement Acapulco Gold is up and unfurled. Too bad I can't say the same for the two problem children. I'm gonna give them until Monday to come up. I'll pick something else to go into the EB Jrs.
I guess I'll take 'extreme measures' to try and germ this strain in the next grow. I have no idea why they are being difficult. I've been in contact with the breeder from the beginning. He even sent out seeds directly from him and a batch he ran tests sprouts. This is without me asking for him to do that. Both of us are stumped as to why. All seeds were treated exactly the same way. I only had one other seed failure and that was because of my seed placement. It germed but died.
I'll just pull out all the stops when I attempt to germ this girl again..........even if these do happen to take.

3 Bears OG X Double Grape has drained her rez finally. Gotta check the pH of my activated EM1 to see if it's finished.

 

[WildBill]

I can't friggin sleep!
Look at the monster Ogreberry!

4x4 Auto Tent
3 Bears OG X Double Grape is slightly darker, but a little less happy this morning. A slight droop in her leaves
So I did the only thing I really want to do to correct the problem, without possibly complicating the situation. I drained the rez.
I'll let it sit like that to at least lights on, but probably I'll refill the rez in the morning. I'll double the rate of the light humic acid dose, but with no EM1 Just keeping it more simple. I can see a slight purpling of some stems on the fan leaves. I haven't pHed the drained liquid yet, but it smells fine. Looks like I might make a SST and give the topdress some.

AVT received 1 gal of plain water with humic acid in the rez. I sprinkled Terp Tea on the top and wetted it down with the feed water for her other rentmates. I'm gonna let her run like that for a few days to get some more height before the cover goes on. I’m really tempted to plant a cover crop and go without a cover. It may be a big gnat attractant. I need to find a good seed mix......have two row barley and it would work great, but I need a mix with some clover.
Other girls in the 4x4 got feed with humic at the higher rate, 1tsp/gal aminos and sprinkles the Terp Tea on top at 1TBS per plant and watered it in. It wasn't a full watering though. I put the terp tea in the gallon of feed water before I realized it will clog my sprayer. So I'm saing that until lights on and will bottom feed it. The solution is in a bucket with an air stone.
All other girls look happy, even the mutant Fat Blueberry.She;s just not growing outta it.

Fat Blueberry was to be the second set of girls for the reversal test, but I can't breed mutants. That's why I dropped 4 S1 Sour Stompers I made in water this morning.

First light shows AVT has drained her rez. I think she took a day longer than I figured.
I have freshly activated EM1 that I'll add with two gallons.
As soon as 3 Bears OG X Double Grape drains her rez, She'll get her first flower nutes. It will be my J mixed into a slurry with the Coast of Maine Lobster compost. On top of that will be a sprinkling of Craft Blend and Terp Tea. To top it off will be a thin layer of Alfalfa hay. It has a nice texture with a good mix of leaves and stems. Just another home for all the microbe helpers.
Tonight, all potted girls get a layer of Alfalfa hay and wetted in.

3 Bears OG X Double Grape drained her rez overnight, so both EB girls received 2 gal each, with EM1 at 1oz/gal.
3 Bears OG X Double Grape got top dressed for flower. I mixed a slurry of lobster compost, 12ml off my J, 7TBS of Terp Tea with roughly a gallon of humic water @ 1tsp /5gal. 3TBS of Craft Blend was sprinkled of top before slurry was applied. A little bokashi was sprinkled on top before slurry was applied. A layer of alfalfa hay was applied on top of everything.

Rainbow Glue got 3TBS of Terp Tea, 1TBS of Craft blend and topped off with alfalfa hay. She also got more LST with the clips
Both Wizard's Apprentice x Tangie and Elephant received LST, cleaning up bottoms, Craft blend, and alfalfa hay on top .
