Day 26 from seed update, Fat Monkey SAG.

Just a quick update at day 26/27. Seed popped its head out on the 27th of Feb. Size reference, that is a 350x300 pot.



Going well and no signs of pre flower yet. I know the timeframe for autos is usually off by a few weeks, but was just wondering if anyone has grown any Fat Monkey Autos from Synergy Automatic, and in what timeframe did they hit pre flower? Says around 75 days from seed, but after 26, it is still vegging hard, and I can't see pre flower and flower only lasting 50 days. Grew a few small autos in the yard last year, and most were half the size at 26 days, and already popping pistils. I've been checking out young plants here, and most of them at 3 weeks are only on their third node.

Growing in some unknown $4 potting mix from Bunnings with 1/3 perlite. No nutes so far, just tap water which is horrid at 7.8ph, under an 85w led in 33c temps. I don't know how this is working.

The leaves are tacoing from the heat, 33c is 92f, you want to be about 80f (27c) for leds.
Don’t believe breeder pack times.

It's slowly cooling down here at the moment. Summer is a bitch in Australia. It happens within a few minutes of being in the sun. It does not like it one bit, but generally give her a water runoff once a week. From what I recall the sun was at 1800umol that day, and it was 32c, so I can't imagine what the prolonged temps in the sun were. After eight minutes I moved it into the shade lol. The leaves were basically upright and it was terrifying.

It's amazing how that few minutes can have such an effect on the plant.
