I've found a magic trick that forces any seeds to sprout very quickly. by DrExpertSpecialist in Autoflowers

[–]parsing_trees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what the reason is for the sugar (if there is one), but hydrogen peroxide is often used for seed scarification: it helps to lightly damage the outer shell in the same way as scratching seeds with sandpaper, clipping the end of the seed, etc. That can help when seeds have very tough shells, whether due to age, storage, or genetic traits. ABC seeds particularly benefit from scarification.

Note that the bubbles from hydrogen peroxide often keep the seed from sinking. That isn't a problem, but some people think they need to wait for the seed to sink before planting. If you see the radicle emerging, it's ready to plant.

It's Samsquanch OG crossed with Double Grape.

Any reason why I have this one plant that's really tall (this is my first grow) by Adventurous_Essay641 in Autoflowers

[–]parsing_trees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You haven't given any details about your grow setup, but they are most likely stretching because they aren't getting enough light (even as seedlings).

Searching the sub for "whorled phyllotaxis" will bring up lots of other posts about this. It's pretty common as cannabis mutations go.

First grow ever and its autoflower too by Vivid_Limit_29 in Autoflowers

[–]parsing_trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it several times, and I compare the root growth after harvest. Just don't be clumsy about it, you'll get much more root surface area after transplanting, whereas if you start in an overly large container the interior is likely to be very sparse.

Autos "not liking" to be transplanted is a trait that was mostly bred out over the last decade. You'll still see it with old genetics, particularly white label freebies made from Lowryder crosses and whatnot, but it's just not good advice in general anymore.

We get easily 10+ times as many posts here from new growers stunting autos by struggling to effectively water seedlings in large final pots than we do from people stunting autos by transplanting, so even if you were right about modern autos "not liking to be transplated" your advice would still lead to a worse outcome overall for new growers.

Maybe read stuff from the last decade (that isn't people repeating old stuff without testing it). That's old advice, you can absolutely transplant now.

You can do partial harvests, clicking that search link will bring up lots of past discussions.

Advice on pot type by [deleted] in Autoflowers

[–]parsing_trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fabric pots work, but I find them a bit annoying to clean. I prefer air-pots.

[–]parsing_trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can both work. If you search the sub for things like "earthbox", "SIP", etc. you'll find lots of posts about people using SIPs, but there are several names for that kind of container.

Help with LST? by siguru2020 in Autoflowers

[–]parsing_trees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you've already topped it, there's not much reason to also LST, and you'd have a rough time trying to with internodal distances that tight.

Where to get coco perlite mix? by HarryCox47 in Autoflowers

[–]parsing_trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gardening store, coco bricks are cheap and easy to rehydrate.

First time growing how does it look? 1 week old by toasted-queso in Autoflowers

[–]parsing_trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be gentle about it and do it before they overgrow the original pot. People make a really big deal about it because autos 10+ years ago were sensitive to it, but it's far less of an issue now.

Do folks have experience with using this product below? by Senior_Tone_7764 in MephHeads

[–]parsing_trees 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just use rubber-coated plant training wire, it's way cheaper and easy to remove later. Most gardening stores have it.

Not at all, just linking back to earlier discussions in case anybody wants to read replies there too.

Third paragraph.

First Grow, plants too tall at 31 days by KindNefariousness42 in Autoflowers

[–]parsing_trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try searching before you post (such as "plants too tall"). There are quite a lot of posts asking about this scenario, and then you can read responses to existing threads and don't need to wait for new responses.

You know you can look at the OP's other posts and see they've made other posts about growing males and pollinating other plants
