We need an lol button!! Short veg-i-mite
Why did I have that backwards (I thought lst photos not autos)
Low stress is for autos because they tend not to have the time to recover from high stress the way photos do. If you high-stress a photo and it takes 5 days to recover, that's just another 5 days you leave it in veg. If you high-stress an auto, you can never make up the 5 days you lose. That's why I LST autos and prune the heck out of my photos. Some folks high-stress autos as well, just not me .
Speaking of training the middle open on a photo, last night....If you are going to LST photos, just make sure to train them to get the middle open, maybe quad-line them. I have a "quad" quad line and it's too much underneath.

...I dropped the Haze Xtreme seed! Here it is sitting in a bowl of water and H202, per @Van Stank's exterior sterilization method:
Then it occurred to me that the top half of the seed is out of the solution, not getting clean. So I cut a piece of napkin and laid it on top of the seed to keep it submerged in the bath water (it's in the circle):
After about 45 minutes I put it in plain distilled water and put the bowl in the Cheez-its box on the heat mat. When I tapped the seed this morning and it sunk. Let's see how fast it cracks.
These Haze Xtreme seeds are not feminized, so if I get a male, I'll use some pollen to cross it with the other photos, just for fun. Might as well get something for all my hard work. Either way, it will be a fun experiment with mainlining something other than heroin.
It was drizzling this morning (wait what?) but by the time I started mixing nutes for the AK, the sun was out. So I moved everyone on to the table and mixed the nutes. Then the clouds came back and it looked like it was going to pour, so I fed the AK and moved it and the Auto Masszar in the shed under the Mars and left the other three outside to deal with whatever happens today.
Speaking of nutes, here's what went into a gallon of water for the AK:
1 tsp Armor Si
3 ml cal/mag+
¼ tsp Open Sesame (should I stop this per FF instructions or keep it all the way through chop like I do for my autos?)
2 tsp Tiger Bloom
3 tbs Big Bloom
10 ml Terpinator
Runoff TDS is still +700. Nice to be consistent .
I hope your day is sunnier than mine, or at least brighter than a Mars300!
