No sir, the only ones that needed help with there shells are the 2 Amk3k seeds. No other seeds needed any assistants..

Its pretty amazing, but the 1 CFF3k thats doing really well, was almost one of the last to pop above the soil.. But she is 3-4x bigger then all of the others above soil.

So after seeing the pots that had this outdoor soil on the bottom of the pots and FFOF at the top. I'm not to sure about using the old dirt, even if it's at the bottom of the soil bed.. Pics are in my new grow in signature.. The roots couldn't even break into the dirt at all..

I might have to just use 3-4bags of Fox Farms Ocean Forest, 1-Bag of Light warrior to mix at the top,1-Bag of Perlite, and some Earth Worm Castings with about 20-40 worms.. Maybe I could use the outdoor dirt at the bottom of the bed to use just to gain some height?...

Let me know what you guys think and if you have any ideas.. we have about 3 more weeks till I put the CFF3k outside..I can always put them in pots for this first run and get the raised bed ready in the mean time..

So the other 2 seeds havent popped up yet, and I dont want to dig to try and look and I end up disturbing them.. 1 of the seeds cracked open when soaking, the other seed didnt crack open and wouldnt sink even if I pressed it under the water lol...

BUT the girl that did pop up, is Awesome! She was one of the last to pop up out of all the genetics from TnT Labs that I germinated, BUT she has the biggest leaves already. Maybe her Semi-Auto Traits arent recessive like I thought and the Auto in her is showing itself strongly!

This girl and the other TnT Strains are all 6-8 inches away from the 400watt MH Bulb thats on the 250watt setting., and 4inches away from the 14watt Screw in LEDs that I have pointing at the seedlings from the side/at an angle.. I wanted to point the LEDs directly from above, but they where blocking the light from the MH bulb since the LEDs are in Screw-In Reflectors

Heres this Vigorous Young'n- CFF3k 8Days from Initial Soak



I was also thinking about the Outdoor Raised Bed earlier today.. Im also thinking about the option to make it A No-Till Bed. I wont really have to change much, I think I would only have to add more things to it.. I've never done A No-till grow though.. Besides using the same areas I grow Fruits,Veggies, and Herbs..

If "semi-auto" or auto, they need to be transplanted to larger bed or container....soon! Roots don't like small contained areas.

So, semi auto meaning ~ 25% will be auto, 75%+- photo?

Hey Aridbud,
yeah from what i gathered, from my very limited experience with these semi autos, is they will start flowering when root bound.
So my advise was to up pot into the flowering containers in about a weeks time.
yes.. 25% / 75%.. so i guess with some phenos more, some less auto leaning

Hey Ari and Tnt!

Ari the plan was to germinate in something super small. Once they where above soil, we would let them get there roots settled for 1 week maximum. Then we transplant into the pot that its going to finish in..

Sounds like a good plan to me lol.

[aridbud]

Yep, our 10 yr. experience changing photos to autos....a generational process....they don't liked cramped root space....stunts them and takes longer to return, due to the slow down in growth.

You mustve put in alot of effort and time to create/introduce high potency,good yeilding, and new grower friendly Autos! Gotta give you props and my thanks. Without growers like you, I think after Lowryder was released 10+ years ago, Autos might have gone into history without anyone working to bring them back..

Also do you think 1week after popping above soil, is to long to be in those germination trays? I thought it wouldve been better then germinating into there finishing pots..

those germintion pots are small.. so maybe after 4-5 days max..
i normaly germinate in a solo cup.. that gives me about a week

yeah and much respekkk for arid and his work.. dedication!!
