Photoperiod selection

So it’s been about 8 years since I last grew a photoperiod plant. Was Kali mist by serious seeds. Since then it’s all been autos and I’ve been happy with them.

Fancied another try at photos and see for myself the quality and how it compares to autos.

Got 6 germinating with the autos as they finish up. Found a rotating cake stand so they all
Get a fair share of the light in the centre of the tent lol

Should get space after Xmas to chop a couple of autos for transplanting the photos when they hit around 2 weeks old. Will then flip them sometime in the new year

Method:

4x4 tent
625w DE CMH
4 x 12L fabric
2 x 5L fabric
Peat based light potting mix
Liquid organic nutrients

Strains:

Strawberry Cough - Dutch passion
Laughing Buddha - Barneys Farm
Wedding cheesecake FF - fastbuds
Blueberry muffin - Humboldt Seed Company

Blueberry Blizzy (Rocbud)
Zkittlez (freebie)

Ya got some nice autos going and a really nice lineup of photos coming. I'ma tag along. I've been eyeballing that Dutch Strawberry Cough. I'd really like to grow it sometime.

Thanks bud! Yea I’ve been wanting to try it for a while too. See how she goes

5/6 all good. Strawbrrry cough cracked but gave up. Got two more which I’ve tried germinating to replace. Really want this strain so will grab some new seeds if these don’t pop.

cheers!

Nae luck with the strawberry cough. 3 never even popped. Looking at reviews it seems I’m not the only one struggling with germination rates with this strain.

Doing the maths and it’s too late for me to pop another and flip them all evenly due to holiday season and the post being delayed.

So decided to do an XXL auto which will fit into the timeframe I have and I’ll chuck the blueberry Blizzy into a large container.

Room is 16c night and 21 day so slowish growth atm but will able to crank the heat up when these autos come down next week.

Cheers!

Aye was looking on seedsman and almost everyone is complaining lol

It’s now first on the list for the next run!

I was thinking about that strawberry cough, last year.
Went with the strawberry lemonade from barney's tho.
It's also a very nice strain.

Nice! I will try it again next run! I like to have a wide variety of terpenes/highs to choose from.

Day 10 and looking good. Cutting the last of the autos so this weekend so will able to get the temps a good 5c warmer both day and night. Then will transplant them not long after into their final containers.
