DDDs Indoor Jan 2025 ILGM AFGHAN AUTO Seeds

Getting ready for Jan 1, 2025 Seedling starts.
ILGM Afghan Auto seeds (three).
Soil-FFHF/Mycorrhizae cup ONLY germination method.


Pre-wet soil with distilled water-runoff measured PH 5.5/ 650 TDS
.
Domes misted and placed over solo cups.

Heat source located.

Fun weather for the next week

No Snow (for us), Yeah
So, rain for 6 days and why, ONE DAY of showers?
WTF?
I guess we have PNW Rain (wet), PNW Showers (really wet), and PNW mist (low clouds, wet eye glasses, but dry quickly)
I expect the seeds will sprout soon, starting the new year 2025 off right.
Second time using this “soil-only” germination method.
I love the ILGM Afghan Autos currently completing week 5 flower.
Buds building, I hope

New thread, opened for all to share. Too many tags, for me.
All welcome to follow and share.
Appreciate Forum Friend (s) and Family.

Wishing to all, a better year for 2025.
May blessings prevail in our lives and garden grows.

2024 Fall Indoor grow summation: Autos 11 weeks seed and six weeks flower.
Trichomes starting cloudy, but no amber (1-percent?).
Photos 11 weeks in veg, need trim and thin. probably wont see harvest.
I am inclined to take their soil and bags for newest seedlings.
Inclined to be an “Auto-only-grower” (except my bag seeds).
ILGM Autos doing very well and became beneficial for learning growing.

“Getting the next grow right” is the goal again and always.
Appreciate the sharing, caring, and Forum Family.
Happy New Year, DDD

  1. Indoor 4x4x6.5 (two)
  2. ILGM Autos, preferred, I think. Shared/bag seeds growing, also, sometimes.
  3. Seeds are seeds either UNK Reg/Fem/Auto.
    ILGM Photos were the source of my bag seeds.
    Traded/gifted seeds presumed to be Photos.
  4. Water is City Supplied 7.2/<50PPM (Good water).
    Bubbled, liquid silica, Nutes.
  5. Desired PH 6.4/1000PPM feeding/run-off (a work in progress).
    Learning soil and amendments with Autos was a shock.
    The photos are in soil being conditioned, looking good.
    The autos “blew thru” the nutrients and show deficiencies.
    The Apera’s (PH and TDS) calibrate with PH (7.0/4.0) and TDS 1413.
  6. Soil some version of FFHF, FFOF or KIS Organics, perlite.
    Big Foot mycorrhizae dusting utilized for solo transplant steps.
  7. Nutrients Jacks preferred (lifetime supply, just need to learn how to use).
  8. LED Lighting Some new, some junk (winter grow heat source)
    HLG-350R and HLG-UVA30 paired with Vipar Spectra V1200.
    Wattage measured Kil-a-Watt meter (330,30, and 265Veg/255Bloom)
    Tent temp/RH controls well with about 600watts.
    Lights height 20-25 inches above crown.
    9 Temps above 65F Light OFF and below 80F preferred
    Dehumidifier in lung room and AC-I controlled system
    Tent T6 (first 4x4) exhaust to attic, unfiltered.
    Secondary T6 (first 4x4) and T8 (second 4x4) Lung room filtered exhaust.
    No CO2
    Temps lights ON below 80 RH below 65% VPD desired under 1.2
    Unit T 383-BT LUX meter and IR gun used daily for checking.
    VPD Leaf offset usually -3F, more if light height is increased.
    Tent Occupants currently 5 each Afghan Auto, Hindu Kush, and Seedlings.
    Budget significantly larger than my share of the National Debt.

January 2025 Grow, in two 4x4 tents will be
4-ILGM Afghan Autos (10/7 seed 2/2025 harvest)
3-ILGM Afghan Autos (1/2025 seed drop),
3-ILGM Hindu Kush Photo’s (10/7),
3 bag seedlings (12/1 seed drop),
and
one each, “Skunk” and ILGM Gold-Leaf (reveged share from @noddykitty1).

Hope to start the New Year and do it right.
Same and Best to All, DDD

The fall seed drop was ILGM Afghan Autos and Hindu Kush Photos.

I am very impressed with the AAs and almost disappointed with the HK-Ps.
The HKs are filling space but are not growing like the Autos (on steroids).
11 weeks and the AA are 6 weeks in flower.
The HKs are veging.
However, the soil is available to both and the differences are unbelievable.
I am impressed with FFHF soil and my new current bag seedling crop.

The KIS soil did Ok for the HK.s but “was burned out” or exhausted by the AAs.
Flowering needs more nutrient support, than I gave, initially.
Re-visit of sites and MSDS/data/grow sheets for Jacks and FF, may improved feeding habit going forward.

Set up a “final” (this grow season) experiment. Awaiting the next, strongest, best looking, ILGM Afghan Auto (3-dropped, yesterday). Dropped separately, then covered with FFHF, spray moistened, and dome covered.

The above pictured seeds, show two different seeds.
Seeds were FFHF soil covered for “SOIL ONLY” germination method.
Lower solo-cup soil was wet (rinsed and measured).
Then lightly covered with fresh soil (making seed bed).
Single seed placed on soil bed and loosely covered.
Top Sprayed distilled H2O and domes sprayed also.
Heater utilized for a day. The three reside in the seedling tent, now.
Cheap light in the 2x3 utilized clone/seedling 24x7.
Dec 1, DDD-Bag Seed drop- pictured 'THREESOME"


Three-some plant pictured above has 3 more (single planted) seedlings (in the dark tent, currently).

My Fall-2024 grow was started by @noddykitty1, while I was East.
We share this thread, with others, too.
Surrogate parent; or Tag Team - #70 by DEEPDIVERDAVE.
He started and provided the best solo-cup seedling soil and seedlings that I have ever transplanted. I have started hanging some AAs



I hope the fall grow showed me Autos, soil, and Nutes to be improved upon during the next grow.

Was split int two separate planters, up-sizing.
Transplant shock, for sure.
The both hate me.
Just like these two, below
Culling two (no room) and needed the soil ( for the split threesome).


Up-rooted and just discarded (ouch).

Tent occupants swapped today.
Top LED (flower tent)
Dehumidifier is Lung room ambient air.
Bottom LED (Veg tent)

Well “Hells-Bells” they look better in the discard bin and I feel bad for them.


So, I re-planted them, today.
FFHF and Big Foot dust.

ILGM AA, soil germinated for 1-1-2025 beginings.


Alive, unlike the one seed killed (broke root off) while checking germination.
The DDD12-1-2024 seedlings doing good

Two revegers below (top right corner).

Two reprieved plants


They were culled (for space) last week.
They were cut out of the planters and I used the dirt for new seedlings (the threesome got split out,

My spiders like the claw leaves on the HK’s only.
It seems to me.
Jacks Dead Bug and JDB Soap spray baths for them and the clone tent.
More baths for everybody, soon.
May harvest last grow 10/7/2024 and nuke the tents.
Need to re-shape the grow cycle.
Autos in contention.

TBT, the HK’s clone nicely (probably with free-loading-travelers).

Spider mites invasion seems to be growing.
I was trying to avoid chemicals.
Didn’t repopulate the lady bugs.
Just ran out of JDB spray.

Full compliment chemicals ordered.
Full compliment ground troupes ordered (ladybugs & predatory mites).
Using the HKs as fodder and expect to toss them.
Lost the Afghan Auto, but maybe she will show, soon.
Got a batch of seedlings looking good (no spider mites, yet).

Are the new seedlings more autos, or are they from your seed run?
