InTheShed Grows Inside & Out: Jump In Any Time

Yay! I can see Friday now the rain is gone :). Still overcast but bright and the plants are all outside. I was late for work today because I decided to flush the AK. It was completely dry and I didn't want to wait another 24 hours to get it some water.

First runoff was around 3800 TDS. I kept flooding it until I got down to around 450 before I really ran out of time. When the water stopped coming out of the bottom, I fed it 1 gallon of water with the following:
½ tsp Armor Si (+15 TDS)
3 ml cal/mag+ (+130)
2 tsp Grow Big (+630)
¼ tsp Open Sesame (+45)
1 tsp Tiger Bloom (+180)
3 tbs Big Bloom) (+110)
Total 1180 TDS @ 6.4 pH.

Approximate ratio FWIW: 2-5-3

I'm hoping these TDS numbers are correct, as I dropped the meter into the jug after the cal/mag! It's really hard to get that thing back out through the top of a milk jug so it got pretty wet. I did test it back in the tap water and it looked right, but I've taken it apart and left it sitting on top of the warm DVR box to dry out.

Speaking of warm spots, the Auto Masszar seed has cracked but no tap root has emerged after 48 hours. If it still hasn't by the time I get home should I go with paper towel on an open plate (or a closed bag...there are two schools of thought apparently)? I only have this one seed, so let me know!

I like the baggie but I leave it open so it can breath but still stay moist. 2-3 days later you'll have a tap.

Ooh, a blended response...unexpected! :)
 
Warning, huge thread hijack.....but he told me to ask....

I would like to know what you thought about growing ILGMs Blueberry auto and ak47 auto?

I'm looking at a mix pack from them. It only contains the blueberry, NL and Amnesia haze autos.

Wanted to get an opinion from someone who has grown their strains.

I know this was in the past....so..... I can ask on those journals if you want me to.

That's why we're here Bonsai! To ask questions and get answers. So this is not a thread hijack at all (AS LONG AS I GET ANSWERS TO MY PAPER TOWEL QUESTION ABOVE ;))!

I would give thumbs up to both the Blueberry and the AK-47 from 420. They grew well (though some buds were so dense they ended up with botrytis last summer...high RH here!) and everyone who smokes them enjoys the high. The blueberry is indica dom and if you smoke it in a mellow mood will tend to make you seek a flat comfortable surface. Earlier in the evening and when with a crowd of happy people it didn't have that effect though. The AK definitely had more of a sativa feel, giggly and happy even when smoked lying on a couch :).

Both were easy to grow, took a pounding of high TDS FoxFarms nutes without complaint. My Blueberry 2 with LST gave me 4 ounces dried! Train early and train often is my autoflower mantra. I don't top, but I seriously flatten :). Read through my first two journals for complete details. Also, Moonshine grew Blueberries and liked them as well...some pretty big plants.

Hope that helps.

Good luck with that meter Shed!
Make that seed pop! I haven't tried the paper towel method yet so can't give any suggestions. Too hard, like is it wet? Is it too wet? Is it dry? Does it have air? Lol f that noise.
I understand u only have one so it has to be perfect right?!?!

Thanks Lowded! I think the meter will be okay since it continued working after the dunk, though there was so much moisture in the little window it was hard to read :). The seed I'm giving a 65% survival rate. More news tonight! With luck it will have a tail when I get home.
:cheer:
 
i completely douse the papertowel and then gently squeeze excess water of so it still is very heavy wet but not so it would leak water in the bag just lay seed on it fold shut and lightly press so the seeds make contact with the damp papertowel two days later they should crack and start a taproot
