Now that those blasted and deadly-to-growers Southern California heat waves are (hopefully) over, I'm starting another couple of grows, timed for a hopefully spectacular New Years harvest to start out 2018 with a bang.
This particular grow, my seventh, is feminized Girl Scout Cookies from Auto Seeds via Attitude Seedbank, and this is my first auto grow. Here are my specs:
Start date (germination in heated germination station in a Rooter plug) was 22 August. She went into the tent on 26 August, and into the WaterFarm on 29 August.
Today is Day 14 from seed. Here's how she looks today:
She's got one browned and dead first leaf (bottom left of stem, kind of melds into the clay pebbles) but all other leaves are looking pretty good.
If all goes according to plan, she should start flowering on 10 October, and be ready to harvest on 16 December, but I'm not sure of the dates because I'm basing them on my photoperiod experience. I don't know what an auto may do. She may surprise me and come early, or later, or right on time. Whatever she does, here's to good health and a bountiful harvest!
