Circumstances (my state did not legalize growing until late June among other things) prevented a grow starting in May so I started seeds on 13 July 2021. My grow is one plant of each of the following strain in a square foot garden: White Widow, Gelato, Wedding Cake, and Zkittles. All seeds are auto flowers from ILGM.
White Widow and Wedding Cake have sprouted 7 and 8 days respectively after the sow date. White Widow is looking strong but Wedding Cake seems to be growing slower. Both had something attack the cotyledons shortly after sprouting; I put them under bells made from soda bottles after I found the damage. I also sprinkled the soil with cinnamon after observing ants in the garden bed.
I reseeded Gelato and Zkittles this past weekend since those seeds did not germinate.
It has been raining nearly everyday since 13 June. Today we finally had a nice sunny day. Both seedlings are starting their second set of true leaves this week.
The soil is hand mixed. Itās one part peat moss, one part vermiculite, and one part compost. The compost is a 50/50 mix of steer manure and garden compost. I wanted a compost mix of 1:1:1 of manure, garden compost, and mushroom compost but I couldnāt get my hands on the mushroom compost.
Looks very healthy!
Most interested in the White Widow,ā¦ Autos are not something I have grown.
Have a friend wanting to do autos though.
Positive vibes to ya,
Keep the pics coming!
Too funny. I get a kick when I see people say cow for Cattle/bovine. First time I have seen steer instead of cattle/bovine.
Cow; mature female that has calved
Steer; castrated male bovine.
Now I need to see an analyses of the difference. Other than hormones?
Great to have you always happy to see a new grower trying autos and props for sowing straight into your outdoor beds Iām an indoor grower for a reason to many things I canāt control outside but Iām jealous of the outdoor growers for sure Iāll be following along
For all I know it is cattle manure rather than specifically from steers. The label on the bag said āSteer Manureā and I didnāt think too deeply on it.
Dammit! The newly-sprouted plants had a bad day. The cotyledons are missing from the Zkittles and the Gelato was bent over and dehydrated. Iām putting a screen over the opening on the bells.
Wedding cake is still limping along and White Widow looks good.
No, you didnāt steers have no balls and bullās have balls. So your bull shit was missing its balls.
Only to be used for female ladies for flower. No seeds growing. I need sleep.
