afterthought autos - Tranquil Hemp Auto Test grow

Afterthought Autos was so kind and generous to send me 2 different Auto regular seed strains for a TEST grow for future possible strains: Numbskull(++CBD), Tranquil Hemp. Since they are auto regulars I'm going to run 3 staggered over 30 days, hoping for a 2 Fem-1 MALE 3-some. I like ability to capture pollen for expanding strain and trying crosses.

This is Tranquil Hemp CBD
Genetic lineage: Boax x Finola Hemp CBD
Indoor: 13-16 weeks (start to finish)
Outdoor: Similar
Height:Indoor: Med-Tall

10/30/20 Germinated and will be grown in:
Organic soil, reused and baked Stonington blend base
Added:
Worm castings
Stonington blend fertilizer
Fish bone meal
Lobster compost
5 gallon bucket
Start under CFL and over to LED HLG 550 to run 18/6 on/off schedule

DAY ONE: 10/31/20 popped up from soil.

Pics are 3 weeks post germ

Due to constraints I had to start in small Burpee cups 2 days short of 3 weeks post germ & they were transferred from the starter cups into their 5 gallon final destination using the soil mix initially noted. Now under an HLG 550 with PAR dialed down to 500.
Running temps in mid 70's during 18/6, dropping to low 60's when lights off.

Tranquil #1 has grown most faster and fuller than #2, and the others being tested. Probably makes sense for being Hemp(Boax x Finola).
Tranquil's leaves look sharp, jagged like vs rounded leaf tips of others.

Since these are regular seeds, I also started #3 this week, hoping I get a 66% fem rate so I can run 2 thru harvest.

Transfer from starter cups was easy due to great root structure. Very impressed with abundance of roots. Easy peasy 3 weeks in.

BTW, I'm 9 for 9 with seed germination rate for afterthought autos. Strong genetics

Excellent job, Scrog! We're making the Tranquil a robust auto hemp strain crossing with Candida....should be stellar. Have had numerous requests for a CBD hemp strain <0.3 thc. By jove, we've got it!

Not to take away from your Tranquil posts....it's an awesome auto hemp hybrid!!
GROW ON, SCROG!

And art.spliff- excellent amendments! We use black soil we dig from Northern NM, Fertiloam soil, BuffaLoam soil booster and azomite for winter runs indoors, with ewc.
 
4 weeks post germ

4 weeks post germ

4 weeks old today. 14” is showing female, while 7” showing male pods. Pulling the male out tonite and should have the space to let him grow to produce and collect pollen. Started a 3rd recently and will use to replace the male. Increasing to 600 PAR

Beeeea-utiful, Scrog! Amazing how fast the Tranquil (isn't that it above?)grows and shows their puberty!
 
Agree that the 14” female and 7” male Tranquil have been very aggressive with growth and showing sex. Expect female to more than double over next 30 days and ready to stake when needed. Looking forward to pollen collection too
 
35 days

35 days

Looks like my premature thinking was more wishful thinking, and both proved to be males. Pulled the second male, while I am letting the first continue to grow and expect to collect pollen starting next week. Started 2 more which germed recently and are starting out in their 4 gallon buckets.
Eager to grow out some hemp females I can hand paintbrush pollinate and utilize in various CBD and CBDA forms.
Reading some real interesting articles on hemp and CBDA.

Replant and grow on! Nothing wrong with males, except....well, you'd prefer females. Finding it's 50:50 ratio hemp growing.
 
3-4 weeks post germ

3-4 weeks post germ

The 1st 2 were both males. Culled 1 and added to CBD pile & grew out 2nd male, collecting a lot of pollen to continue the line, and added to CBD pile, resulting in some nice topical cream.

Next round germed 11/21, 11/25 & 12/1.
Let’s hope for some ladies so I can selectively paint the bottoms with pollen to produce a few dozen offspring.

Looking forward to sampling the result of this fine hemp paring.

Odds in favor of females....or so the Magic 8 Ball says....

Tranquil 4-6 weeks in

Tranquil 4-6 weeks in

Tranquil test grow continues 4-6 weeks in. My over watering of #1(11/21) has made her short, squat and a bit limp, though very healthy. I can only imagine how big she’d be if not too saturated. Still not showing sex, probably due to my stress.
#2(11/25) is growing lean and tall, male characteristics.
#3(12/1) looking good for 30 days.

Tranquil AfterthoughtAutos Test Grow 7 weeks

Tranquil AfterthoughtAutos Test Grow 7 weeks

I got my girl, she’s now 7 weeks old, and while squatty, she’s very healthy, aside from some leaves still a bit curled from my xs watering, and just started showing female white hairs.
Both the other 2 are males, so I separated and will grow out until pods warrant cutting before accidentally pollinating others.

#1 girl, let’s call her KAREN :jump:, is 15” tall & 20” WIDE!!! Fat Karen... Once hers flowers start coming in, I’ll selectively paint some lower buds to create seeds.
Excited to see this hemp plant cross develop, as it’s the fun journey that makes for a happy ending.:yay:

TRANQUIL: Boax x Finola auto sized.

Good ol' Chubby Karen! Seems she's taking on more of the Boax hemp trait. We have a few finishing that's lean (and mean!) Finola or what typical hemp resembles.

It's so nice to have the Auto trait with these strains. Being a medical hemp grower for my own personal medicine, 12:12 light regimen took about 4 months for normal hemp hybrids (which I still like) and amassed about the same yield.

With these beauties, they can grow along in tent, or other methods, for autos. It doesn't get much better than that!

Right on, Scrog. Keep "Fat Karen" happy! You know how she can be when she gets irritated, or asking to wear her mask! Yikes!

Fat Karen is much happier nowadays vs last month. While showing her sex, though pics don’t show the white hairs so well, she’s not eager to starting flowering, which is fine with me.
She’s now reached a uniform 18” tall & 18” wide.

Bravo, Karen!! That is a pheno we've gotten from our CBD hemp, as well. Fat and sassy!!

There's been quite a bit of interest of our TRANQUIL in the last few weeks with our event! Glad folks are eager to try our CBD auto hybrid! Although I like several other hemp hybrids we've developed, I like the simplicity and ease of growing a CBD hemp AUTO!

Thanks for showing how well TRANQUIL can perform!
 
Defoliation to trigger flowering test

Defoliation to trigger flowering test

9+ weeks for Auto regular Hemp hybrid Tranquil and looking to encourage flowering.
Let’s test the test grow :yay:
Communicated with a mentor :artist: so gonna try defoliation for 2 reasons. 1-maybe stress a little to trigger flowering; 2-she’s bushy and plenty of time to grow, and I defoliate my photoperiods when flipping, and she should benefit from more light getting all the way thru.
If Karen doesn’t start flowering soon then I’ll put her into quarantine and reduce the lighting schedule to trigger flowering.
Maybe the full :moon: might help :bis:
