pug1010 Posted April 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 interesting observations have you ever check temps when germinating seeds we just had a warm night or 2 & another tonight where i live in Vichigher temps might of helped germination plus peat pellets aren't bad at retaining warmth how did the diy fem process go , easy peasy , few skin changes , no probs ? what do you hydrate the peat pellets with , plain water ?temps have been steady itchy ... and also within normal range compared to previous germinations (20 - 25 degrees). no worries with the diy fem process ... additional benefit was that i ate heaps of bananas. longest time for banana peels was 3 days in paper bag - most changed in two days. usually had a fair few in the bag. rolled the bag up and bobs your uncle and marges your aunt ... strainer worked like a charm ... nice one mate. peat pellets hydrated with local bottled spring water ... no aloe or fulvic. did put a tiny amount of myco in seed hole - but that's normal for me. if i have old seeds in the future (even fem seeds) ... i will use the banana skin process, just to help them germinate quicker. nothing to loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pug1010 Posted July 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 final update on the banana skin adventure ... in the end i chopped the leggy affie before it sexed, as it was never going to fit in my grow space. the little runty ... has bloomed into a lovely lady. was not the normal sexing though ... as it took a bit longer than previous affies and when pistils did show, they showed on the cola tops at the same time as at the nodes - this was a first for me with any strain. one thing to mention though, is that she was topped very early to fit into the temporary space bucket - topped at 3rd node when just showing 5th node. second topping was also down soonish as well. pic below is at day 42 of flower (counted from when top pistils first showed) and day 54 since changing lights to 12/12.

itchybromusic Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 good stuff mate shame you didn't take a cut & flower the cutting once rooted to see if it was a girl although a vegging plant that is quite stretchy early on usually turns out to be male in my experience i've never tried it but i have seen talk of putting plants into flower (12/12) for a single day on an adult vegging plant to discover sex & continue to veg without going full flower supposedly one day of flowering is enough to just show sex & not go full on into flower that affie's looking pretty good pug 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
