Hempcules WEEK 1
I'm kicking things off here with the Banana Blaze Auto from Dutch Passion. I’ve already seen one of its seeds grow on my balcony and was really impressed.
Right now, the automatics have to share the grow tent with the photoperiod plants. Those will be out in a few weeks, and if the autos that stay in the tent are healthy and looking good, I’ll transplant them into 15L fabric pots. Unfortunately, there’s no space for that at the moment, so the transplanting won’t be ideal. But I’ve transplanted autoflowers several times before and never had major issues. We’ll see how well they take to it.
To start, I sprinkled some mycorrhiza and lightly watered the soil with Root Juice. This time I germinated directly in the substrate, which was recommended by the breeder as the best method for germination.
For the first 1.5 weeks or so, I keep a plastic cup over the plants to maintain good humidity. I’m also running the humidifier to keep the VPD at around 0.5 kPa.
The light is running at 20% and putting out about 120 PPFD, which is enough for the beginning. Honestly, I hate bananas, but I’m giving this strain a chance 😉. It’s received a lot of praise so far, so I’m hoping it performs just as well for me.
