I thought some might be interested in how a newbie goes with Dinafems Fruit Auto, in case your interested as I'm sure quite a few recieved it as a freebie like me.
You may have already seen my snow white and chrystal grow in the newbie forum, I couldn't wait to add to my seed collection and when it arrived was super keen to try out the two auto freebies I recieved.
The WOS Kush Ryder didn't open, who knows how long its been sitting in a stapled (not air proof) zip lock, The fruit however sprouted in 24hours (Paper Towel) and popped the soil in another 12.

This was while my other plants were at about 5 weeks and before I transplanted into 250mm pots, and before I realised how silly I am cramming all these beautiful girls into such a small space. I'll try avoid talking about the other plants but as they are all growing in the same cupboard and space is an issue but I feel it is necassary to cover.
I dont have dates for the following two photos but they were around the 6 and 10 day mark i think..FRUIT01a.jpgFRUIT01b.jpg

Today is exactly two weeks since tranfering from paper towel to soil.

And now my over crowded cupboard, I had only transplanted 3 my other plants to bigger pots recently but i could no longer close my cupboard so before they got settled in to much I moved them to 12L icecream containers which are rectangle, hold more volume and fit much better. (I'm thinking these would be great for a one plant DWC in the future)

Do I really need drainage holes in the ice cream tubs? I think I've got a fairly good feel for when to water..could always make some in the event of needing to flush.

I should note I have more lighting available and plant on transferring my more mature plants to flower, below the canapy is already looking a dark and cold place.

Now Day 21 three weeks from planting seed on soil
Shes had a fan blowing directly on her and being cramped in my temp cupboard is stretching quite a bit compared to my other plants.

About a week or so ago these spots appeared on a couple of the leaves, do you think this could be a drop or splash from water which has fertiliser granules disolved inside, or perhaps not disolved properly and landed hear? My other plants seem fine..

Also little worried about when I watered her, More bubbles than I've ever seen erupting from the soil, I have added to my soil base as well as lightly feeding with charlie carp a fish emulsion..
I'm thinking thats probably resulting in this..FRUITSOIL.jpg

Thats all for now, hoping to see preflowers soon
