AN Overdrive

Hello All and welcome to my fourth grow. I was lucky enough to win the Dutch Passion Photo Contest for July 2013 and promptly ordered 3 StarRyders, 3 Think Different and 3 Blue AutoMazar (with a special offer you also got 3 AutoWhite Widows!). So thats 12 seeds and I decided to spit that up into 3 grows of 4 plants each and as I could not decide, I opted for 1 of each and here we now are on the first of 3 (hopefully) successful grows.

My setup has not changed too much this time round. The biggest changes are with my Airpots and side lights. With my second grow I was using 6L Airpots, then on my last grow I lopped a few cm off of them, but this time I have cut them in half! My reason is because I only have 80cm +/- vertical height and I found on my last grow that the plants were growing beyond that, so in an effort to keep them at a good height for me I took the drastic measure of cutting them down. They were 30cm tall (so thats a third of my entire space) but they are now 15cm tall. So i suppose you could call them 3L Airpots! Side light have been changed to 2x 30w Low Energy Sticks that I saw in asda for £3 each.

I started the 4 seeds off by soaking them in tap water for 24hrs, then I planted them straight into the final pots, I would normally use the paper towel method but this seems a more natural way to me.

It took 36hrs till the first one popped her head, that was the TD then at 48hr mark SR & AWW had appeared - this evening is 72hrs with no sign of BAM. I have not given up on BAM, will give her another few days before I go digging.

Here are some pics for you taken today, Day 2, firstly a group shot then individual shots.

Off to a great and well prepared start as we can see! Best of LUCK! But those little tiny seedlings do look awefully lonely in such big pots... ;-) - but it is the correct way to do it, especially for Autoflowerers. Good job!

Cheers Ganjasattva, they do look lonely dont they, hopefully they will be big soon

Great start.

I made some TD and SR as well this year.

For me the SR tops them. I am curious about the blue mazar. ATB.

Niceone pier, another SR voter, right on sir

GL with your grow Vapes, hopefully you will be filling those pots with some sticky buddage :)

Thanks theshire, thats the plan!

===

Wow, really feeling the support this time round, cheers guys (and gals if any of you are gals lol)

But I have some bad news.. The Blue AutoMazar has not made it :( I dug her up to see a small tap root but nothing else. Oh well, my foursome just became a threesome for the time being. I was quite up for 4 plants this time round aswell. I may try another BAM seed tomorrow, not too keen on them being a week apart, will mull on it over a few vapes tonight.

Other than that the other 3 are looking good all off to a strong start, lets keep it that way.

Cheers :)

Just crack another seed... you know you want it...

All the best

Cheers se7en, I do want to you are right haha

Agree with @@se7en, I would definitely crack another seed, it's not too late at all :yep::yinyang:

That's the conclusion I came too, especially with one light schedule.

Got a friend who may have a spare Tundra, so will wait a few days to see, if not will bang another BAM on..

Cheers

Update Day 8

All is good this week, the 3 of them have been doing good. They seem real tight with there growth, not much distance inbetween nodes especially on SR. TD seems like shes got thicker leaves and AWW has a bit more height to her than the others.

As posted above I put another BAM into soil 60 hrs ago now and im still waiting to see signs of life.. Im still hopeful but I am starting to to think maybe im not destined to grow 4 plants in my space :( Fingers crossed tho.

I forgot to mention about the lighting shedule.. After they started on 24/0 till the 4th day when they all had there 2nd set of true leaves, now its 18/6 till end.

All have had plain tap water, no bio silicone yet. Im in two minds wether to give it this time round.

Here are some pics.
