So healthy looking Carty.
As always this is strain dependent, but I find it to be true for the most part. I don't feed them at all week 1 except
rooting hormones. and I use organic nutrients and rarely seen any burn pushing them at full strength after that..
they can be finicky too because they have a different demand for foods at different times then photo periods.. I really had to switch to just seeing what the plant needs mostly.. and mostly, Auto's need LIGHT to perform best.
If you want them to stretch a wee bit, give them Nitrogen wk 2 thru wk 5 while they are stretching.. watch my technique on removing the round cotyledon leaf and first single leaf to promote upward growth.. it works.. I do this at 2wks old.
You want big Auto's... Start them in 1gal felt pots, up pot to 3gal felt.. I'd say start them in Oxy pots like I do, but
not everyone wants to pay $5 a pot.. but the breathing it allows early on to the roots just kills it and up potting is so easy.. Now again, it's all about finding the right Auto because I know guys who grow 3ft plants in dixie cups.. damn guys.. hahaha.
I'm really impressed with the Zkittles and Gelato from WSE seeds..
Thank you, Carty. I shall write this down in my notes on growing Auto's. It's always a pleasure learning from u Cart. Have a great Day.

Hey Ness2.... I love helping others find a way to achieve with autos what I can... start with good soil. I've tried them ALL.. trust me. lol. Roots Organics or Foxfarms Strawberry Fields... even mixing the 2 together half n half.. with good soil very little feeding is needed. week 2 I tend to give them Surge by Roots organics, a Nitrogen based product that promotes upward growth.. 1/8th tsp Superthrive, Rootzone.. try to keep it simple.. after that I start my food line of whatever I'm running... currently, free foods from a buddy, Argo... Mills Foods, a dutch company...
Well.... been quite the experience growing for WSE but fear I must depart from their sponsorship... I first had problems with seeds not germinating, or starting then stemming off.. now a male or hermie at best has appears in Zkittlez, same strain I had previous germination issues with.. now this..
Here you can see it among females of Blue Himilayan, Wild Thai Ryder and Gelato.. can you see the male
at the top right ???
Thats not good. Have you talked to them?
Carty, i have a Lemon Auto waiting for the root to pop, it's been 5 days and still no signs of growth. I decided to pull the seed and start a Yumbolt Auto, which I just got done growing. The only thing that I might have done is soak the seed in a glass of cold-water pH down. Before, I realize that maybe that cold water might have hurt the growth of the root. But maybe I have bad seeds.
I have Root Magic mycorrhizae +which I was planning to use when I transplant my soon to be Auto. I am running with General Organics go box again. Will see what happens.

Running into same problem with 2 Aurora Indica's
Not about the Hermie but I did when I had the germination issues and their response and modo seems to be,
"We'll gladly replace it for free" . well so what, how does that help the small grower when they are counting on
a specific 4 plant grow, and, half the stock they just paid for is junk. I see online they are having a LOT of complaints, so you'd think when they sponsor a person who tells them, "I'm on 3 sites and will do grow threads".
Well, I'd make sure that person got perfect stock at least. but bro, this is twice and it seems they have major issues in their breeding programs.. The Gelato is ok, being outgrown by my stuff though.. hehe. Nah, I'm done with
WSE and wish them luck.

Hey Ness, As long as the water was above 55f you were fine. Think of a seed in nature, it falls off the plant after maturity and into the dirt. In some regions it snows, covering the seed to almost freezing or below. Thus why you should store seeds in freezer/fridge minimum to keep them fresh. As the spring thaw comes around, the ground thaws also.. it rains, rains again and the ground gets above 55f everything starts so spring up along with this years wild crop of MJ. this is all proven in nature stuff... I do my best to simulate nature. gone as far as starting my plants under more UV lighting for the first half hour, then bring on the big lights bam.. same thing at bed time.
simulate sunset.. yeah, I'm a bit weird and try diff stuff.. sometimes we overthink things eh?
I love the Yumboldt.. think you'll do fine with it. girl, I've got this Blue Himilayan f2 that ZeroZero and I made in
2012.. lots of females, love to send you a pk.. pm me ok.. they are purdy at almost 3wks old and all are girls from
seed stock so far.. 3/4 one still gotta show, a week behind the rest.
I've tested it for germ %, and now sexed them... I'm happy enough to share them now ok.. here I've trimmed the upper set of fan leaf to expose all the branching.
Are these from WSE .. for 2 of them to do it, sounds like the mom was a hermie vs a mother that has been
fully reversed proper. see, it truly blows, he just lost a good part of his grow and some growers might only put
down 2 seeds.. it's why we spend the $$ on feminized seeds from a seed bank.. counting on their work to be done
correctly.. sorry bro..
Morning Carty sorry to hear the trouble WSE.
Carty, when I went to get a Yumbolt seed, I was reminded that they are photo. So, I used another Lemon Auto. I was going to wait for spring to start, but I missed growing, plus I'll run out of herb. Speaking of seeds Cart, I would love to grow your seeds. Would they be Auto or Photo.
Thank you
Are, you still going to talk about the Gelato? I have my Lemon in a plastic bag between wet paper towel, I'm not going to bother her for two days. I'll surely check the wetness daily. I picked the biggest seed and it looks good. we'll see what she Lemon does. I only have one Lemon Auto left. Wishing you a pleasant day.
again for the beans. I'll try to send you my address.

Hey All... and especially Ness who continues to post... thank you
Okay, just had a talk with Marc at WSE and I'm going to test a few more for them. Turns out they actually love the fact I'm very honest about my test grow and how much information I gave them, good or bad. So, lets give them
another chance like we all deserve and see if the next 2 strains perform better..
On the way should be: (I'm doing the letter "B")
1. Bruce Banner Auto Fem
2. Blue Dream Auto Fem
Update
The first flowering plants are getting very close and flushing has begun... colors are beginning to change and boy are they full of goodness just glistening top to bottom.. the aroma when you open the tent is a fruity sweet bouquet
and barely touching them you get all sticky but smell wonderful.. hehe
The Big Zkittlez girl.... Left
Gelato

The baby Gelato is coming along fine, sexed right at about 3wks and here she is a few days shy of a month old
In this group shot she is front left and looking robust...

Your a good and fair man brother Carty. Glad your doing some testing.
Thanks bro.. Marc was very glad about my honesty, says if people don't say anything they don't know.. for me it was limited to their Zkittlez line so hoping these 2 do much better for their sake. love nothing more then to give them some good publicity seeing how they've been kind enough to be a sponsor..
Hoping they get them out soon as I'm a week away from starting the next group of 4.
Gelato just turned a month old and with some trimming and leaf removal she's looking great..
Transplanting begins tomorrow with this Gelato getting into a nice square 3gal pot see if I can't get her big...
