Mainlining Photos & Training Autos 1000w HPS & LED

Good shizzle. Been wondering if the rapid starter would help or harm, good to know! Got some lookers in the tent, excited to see your mainline it’s the only way I’ve ever grown. Good luck!

Yeah the stuff seemed to work, was a quick germination. Seed still has not sprouted yet.

I also have been waiting for the Auto Speed Bud to sprout. She has been put in the soil now for 5 days and no sign above the soil. Not sure whats up there but its taking a while.

The Gorilla Glue #4 has not sprouted either. She has been in coco for the last 2 days. I expect to see her sprout soon because she had such a great start in germination.

Hoping the Speed Bud Auto sprouts soon. My buddy started a seed I gave him, and he planted this morning and he said it already sprouted. Not sure if he never buried deep enough or if its a good start, but is 5 days normal for a seedling to break the surface?

Medium not soaked, not dry, misting daily to keep moist, has a dome over her. Who knows...hopefully soon

Did some more LST on the King Tut today. She is responding to the training very well. Every day I have to tie down because the growth just fills up. Will probably be stopping this soon once flowering kicks into full force.

Here are a couple shots from today

You might of planted a little deep Island so will take longer to pop there heads.

Strange because I plant all the same, to the middle of my index finger. about 2" deep. Hope you are right.

GG#4 is in Coco Coir
Speed Bud Auto is in mix of some soil/coco with most of the top layer being soil and more coco towards middle and bottom

Reason I was a bit concerned is because the last one that never sprouted turned yellow on me and died (pictured above in previous post)

Temps are good, hoping thats all it is. I know the Kushy Kush & Special Kush took a few days but they got there. They were my 2 main ones where they are photoperiod, as long as my GG#4 makes it I will be happy. That will be 3 mainlined plants, or 3 attempted mainlined plants

I think I may just leave the King Tut Autoflower alone with the LST for a few days to a week or more going forward.

The canopy seems pretty even and level, if I let it all grow and get some vertical height to grow buds instead of keeping it as low as possible.

Maybe this will give her a good chance for vertical height during the flowering stretch?

Thoughts?

I think the plant is low enough buddy and you should let it grow a little bit, decide if you need more heads than that and train again. Othetwisr you can leave it grow a bit and allow some stretch to have decent size colas. I think you have plenty of head room?

This is to deep imo mate. I normally use a pen to make the hole and depth hole is dependant on tap root length, but i like to cover the seed shell with about a cm of coco or soil. So basically tap root facing down then cover with a cm of soil/coco. Occasionally i get it to shallow anything and the seed husk sticks to the cotyledons,rather go to shallow than deep.

Well shit...that's not good!!! I am probably doing no good to the plants. Should I dig up the small seedling and preposition or just leave it?

^^^I do the same as kbag mate

[islandgrower420]

Would it be wise to attempt to uncover and reposition or is this too risky? Worried now if its too deep she wont have the energy to make it to the top, or may just die under the coco like the last one did.

Tap roots are facing down on both seeds. Just none sprouted yet.

Again...GG#4 is only 2 days since planted, I have faith she will make it through in a day or two.

But for 5 days...seems a little long. Never had that long of a wait for a seed to break surface before.
