Dirty Fingers
Planted some radishes oh and some flowering (regular seeds) while still running 18/6 lighting
Was a tight fit getting two 1 gallon pots roots soil and all into the 15 gallon pots that were cooking. Those regulars that turned into autos it was the first time using those seeds I made from 2021 was weird they auto flowered under 18/6 while 3 others didn’t and are still in veg.
Anyone have any ideas?
Another weird part is that the male not only showed its sex but also developed pollen sacks etc again all under 18/6 lighting.
Of the seven seedlings one was male 6 female and 3 of those auto flowered and that’s what I put in the 2 - 15 gallon pots plus a Bubble Gum auto. There is plenty of room plus some for a few veggies. Gonna toss in some lettuce greens etc later today. The regular seeds turned autos are so damn tight node spacing and already some dense buds forming on them but they are small plants. Way in the back right is the other 15 gallon with 2 in it.
Haven’t done any real defoliation or training but topped a few of the still in veg ladies and tied down the flower girls but will be getting to the 5 still in 1 gallon pots today and be transplanting 2 of 1 each into 15 gallon pots I’ll fill in a bit with a mix I made earlier.
It’s been 2 1/2 years since my last harvest and chaos has ensued but it’s all good. Adapt or die trying I always say.
This is the Jack H auto that was first to flower
Didn’t have much time in veg but will get some dense nugs.
More flower pics. First one looks about 1 week away while second one the standard 2 weeks left.
My environment by month, week, day and hour since opening it up. Glad I set up the second humidifier and other than adding water it’s all on autopilot. The dips on temps and spikes on humidity are lights out. Have the humidifiers on timers off 15 min after lights out and on 10 minutes before lights on. Not all lights come on nor go off all at once. Far red on 20 min prior to whites then one white then another a few minutes later etc and then the far red off 20 min after all whites (4 fixtures) come on. For night it’s also staged with far red on 20 min before and till 20 min after whites off. Simulates sunrise/set helps put plants to sleep and to awake faster. I’ll be switching to 14/10 lighting soon and the veg ladies will go to flower with this schedule as I’ve done before many times due to running those far reds!
Have an oil filled heater on controller set at 77F for helping temps with lights out and settles around 70F at coldest.
The temp bump you see on the pic for the hour chart is from the UVA/B lights coming on for a couple hours.
Enjoy the day and if anyone knows about what the heck happened with those “regular seeds” ie can you make seeds from an auto so that it holds that trait?
