.:|Cream Caramel and Black Jack - The new autoflowering strains by Sweet Seeds|:.

Hi friends! :kitty:

It's a pleasure to start this grow test diary over here. You'll have the opportunity to see for yourself how the new autoflowering strains perform. They will only be available in a month, I'm sure SeedBay will have them available as soon as they are released, but it the meanwhile you can decide if they deserve a chance. My next grow test diary will feature other 2 new autoflowering strains by Sweet Seeds, Sweet Afgani Delicious Auto and Speed Devil #2... I expect to start it in February. But that will be another story, right now I'm very confident in the Caramels and the Jacks.

Today we start with some pictures of the seeds...

.:|Day 1 - Germinating|:.

Hi friends! :tiphat:

So, all the seeds have now germinated, some of them are now out of the soil, so I consider this as the first day of their lives (although 3 of the 5 Cream Caramel are still in the soil, but in 24h I'll have them all out). Black Jack seeds sprout a bit faster but they're all fast and I obtained 100% ratio for germination, 9 seeds, 9 plants. Let me share the sprouting report...

18h - 24h: 2 Black Jack and 1 Cream Caramel sprouted
24h - 36h: All the Black Jack and 2 Cream Caramel sprouted
36h - 48h: All the Black Jack and 4 Cream Caramel sprouted
48h - 72h: All sprouted > 4 Black Jack and 5 Cream Caramel

Some pics:

Anyone else not with the company have any grow threads anywhere ?

S_a_H

Tommy G · Nov 30, 2010

Hi S_a_H! Thanks for your visit!

In this subforum we don't have any yet, but hey, this subforum exists only since last friday, hehehe, just 5 days, so we expect that soon people will start posting some grow diaries over here. In the ICMag in general I have no idea, maybe some users have their own Sweet Seets threads, it's just a matter of time untill they realize we now have a subforum here.

And... if it means anything, I can tell you that except for this diary about the new autos, the other diaries I'm posting are from before I was colaborating with Sweet Seeds and I had absolutely no relationship with the seedbank at the time, I'm colaborating with them moderating forums and writing articles only since this summer. But it is a seedbank I enjoy since 2006, hehe, never got disapointed with their strains.

And even with this diary for the autos I do it by myself

I live 1000km far away from the Sweet Seeds crew and I grow their strains the way I'm used to grow cannabis, while the seeds are exactly the same that any grower can buy.

Thanks for your visit and for your question, hope someone reads you and gets us another Sweet Seeds grow diary. I know many in other forums, but not here at ICMag, yet. Keep passing by...

Sweet smokes and a big hug!

.:|Day 8 since germination|:.

Hi everyone!

Here we are with the autos, now with 8 days of life. Everything normal, not much to say. In the next update I'll show you the transplant to the 3 litre pots, where they will be for another 12 to 15 days and then I'll pass them to the final pots (7 litre). As I have no previous experience with autoflowering strains I'm not sure if they will use the whole 7 litres space, but I have space for those pots and I'll use them. I'll take my conclusions in the end of this grow diary...

Well, some pics...

Stay cool and keep it high! :wave:

Are you ever going to finish this report. I was really looking forward to it. I grow mostly autos, and i wanted to see how the cream caramel does.

Tommy G · Jan 24, 2011

You're absolutely right my friend, thanks :tiphat:

Honestly I was thinking about updating this in the next few days, so very soon you'll see this going... nicely, fast and beautiful

So come back in a couple of days and thanks for your visit!

In the meanwhile I'll keep the thread closed :wave:

Sweet smokes! :smokeit:

Hi guys!

So, lets keep this going... They are adapting very well to the new soil, new light and to the new environment in general

Some pics...

When they start flowering it will obviously be more interesting, but we're gonna get there very fast, I promise :smoke:

Keep it sweet! :smokeit:

.:|Day 20 since germination|:.

Hi friends!

They keep growing really well, this is the update where vigorous growth is more visible, they are now fully adapted to their new conditions. I will transplant them to the final pots very soon, keep passing by

Some pics...

The last 2 pics are from the Cream Caramel Auto with the "trinodal" trait, hehe, you can see she has 3 branches in each node and she's even more vigorous than the others

:smoke:

Keep it sweet!

.:|Day 24 since germination + Transplanting to the final pots|:.

Hi friends! :wave:

Today I leave you with some pics of the transplant to the 7 litre pots, where they will stay till harvest. This time the soil used is Bio Terra Plus from Canna with powdered bat guano from Guanokalong (a full soup spoon), 20% of perlite and a little bit of worm humus (just 2 litre for the 50 litres of soil - 1/25).

Plants are incredible, growing very well, they seem to grow faster than the no-autos even in the vegetative period.. very vigorous. Some pics...

To be continued...

Tommy G · Jan 29, 2011

...and it continues!

Soon I'll put them in the Homebox XS, hehehe, I'll share some pics very soon then, keep it sweet! :smoke:
