Started one of each in the B. Bugbee soil mix-50/50 peat and vermiculite + 40 grams of dolomitic lime + 10 grams of gypsum pellets. Watering with 1/4 tsp Jacks 20-10-20 cirtus feed per gallon of water. EC reading 1.3. Watering/feeding when plants are dry and light then soaking until we get good run-off, around every 6-7 days. 18-6 light schedule.
Deathstar Auto is growing robustly I topped it today just above the 3rd node, day 12 after sprouting. I was already seeing side branches at all nodes.
Fast Critical appeared stunted from the get go, it was really tiny and I saw no growth for the first 6 days. On day 7 after water/feed it started growing and now on day 12 has 2 nodes and appears to be ok. Similar thing happened the last time we grew the fast critical, plant looked poorly and then caught up and actually ended up being the best yielder. I was concerned though and ended up buying some conventional soil just in case.
This will also be an experiment on the effects of topping an auto. I grew the Deathstar before without topping and have a good idea on how they grow, we shall see how she does.
In the interim we will be growing a Kosher Kush and Godfather OG photoperiod in some Happy Frog Ocean Forest potting soil [since I have it on hand now what the heck].
I am very curious on how the 2 soil mediums perform, I'm rooting for the BB mix as I now have a lifetime supply of lime and gypsum.
I realize this is neither scientific or accurate but it will be fun.
