Planted two seeds into Fox Farm Light Warrior mix and wet them down with distilled water...old school, lo-tech...
One popped within 24 hours and the other took another whole day to pop. Both are vigorously growing.
I'm just hoping for something even close to as fantastic as the initial test run of this hybrid:

9/2:
I gave them a little Superthrive to get them started off right.
I turned on the Viparspectra lights after a couple of days and they really ate it up.
9/6:
The little one is slowly catching up.
9/7:
I started supplementing CO2 with a 2-gallon DIY sugar/wine yeast brew.
9/8:
Coming along..nothing new to report..
9/9:
Fed them their first taste of nutrients today
9/10:
New week, pictures are worth thousands of words.. will have more to say later-
9/11:
I waited to long to transplant them and they have root problems to some degree or another...too wet for too long.
I transplanted both of them into 3 gallon pots and observed about 50% brownish roots on both of them. 😕
I powdered the planting holes with myco, tricho, and other goodness.
I added two Mars Hydro 150w lights, and a 60w 6500k LED panel light since they are all spread out now. The average CCT is still a little over 4800k, even though the Mars are a little warmer color temp than the Viparspectras.
9/12:
Between the root problems and the transplant, they looked horrible, so I sprayed them with BoomBoom Spray today and will do a good root drench tomorrow with BushDoctor Boomerang.
They looked better by the end of day, but still have a ways to go to get back on track...
9/17:
I fed them boomerang only twice this week, and also gave them kangaroots yesterday. One of them is still kinda droopy looking..hopefully she snaps out of it soon.
I'll prolly flip to 13/11 with emerson effect in the next couple of days.
9/18:
New week...fed with Boomerang and Kangaroots
9/19:
Applied Axiom harpin proteins and boomboom spray
9/20:
Fed full strength TPS One...decent growth. The smaller one is less droopy now.
9/21:
Tucked a few leaves and took some photos and a video.
Looking good. Just a couple more days of 24/0...
9/22:
Switched out the 560w of 5000k CCT lighting for 720w of 3000k CCT lighting and set the timer for 12/12.
Decided against 13/11 with emerson effect...trying to save a few bucks on electricity.
I'm keeping the lights at 30" from the tops for a day or two.
9/23:
The girls loved their first night of sleep...so perky!
9/25:
Both plants are now about the same size...bushy bitches, branching well.
9/26:
Fed today using TPS One and another dose of Kangaroots, and started supplementing silica.
9/27:
Rotated the edge plants and tucked some leaves
9/28:
Rotated the edge plants and tucked some leaves
Both plants are branching well, but haven't put on much height yet.
10/2:
Fed today using One, Signal, Superthrive, Silica Gold, and added a little humic acid to the water.
Rearranged, leveled the canopy, tucked some leaves, plucked a little necrotic shit from the bottoms..
I know many of you are wondering why I'm not defoliating...
There may come a time when I find it necessary to remove some leaves, but at this stage of growth every leaf equates to more energy for the plant to produce bigger flowers, and I have no problems with airflow. I've found through the years that it makes the most sense to leave as much foliage as possible for as long as possible. When old leaves begin to die off, it is the right time to pluck them. And, by waiting for as long as possible to defoliate, the foliage you remove has had time to produce more THC, making it both viable and valuable for the bubble hash stash.
10/3:
Happy Birthday girls! You're a month old today!!! (except the stragglers..your birthdays are over the next few days)
Kicked on the FlowerPower UV light today..I currently have it set to run in 2 x half-hour increments during the day..will increase the length of exposure as much as possible over the next few weeks...
10/5:
I emptied the closet today and rearranged. Fed everybody a full stand-alone dose of Fox Farm Open Sesame, Signal, Silica Gold, and Sweet & Sticky for the carbs.
Sprayed everybody down with their last doses of BoomBoom Spray and Axiom harpin proteins.
10/9:
I fed today using One, and Open Sesame at half strength, along with sweet & sticky, signal, and silica.
Raised lights, leveled the canopy, plucked and tucked some leaves.
10/14:
I fed today using One, and Open Sesame at half strength, along with sweet & sticky, signal, kangaroots, and silica.
10/16:
The big one is spectacular..all lower branches are at the top of the canopy now..fattening....
10/18:
Fed them on the 18th..switched to beastie blooms, increased signal, sweet & sticky, and added a little superthrive and Ca/Mg..
Also increased UVB exposure to 2 hours in their morning and late afternoon.
I also foliar fed them with MicroLife Maximum Blooms while feeding their roots.
Added 60w of 3000k subcanopy lighting.
10/31:
I fed today with one, signal, sweet & sticky, beastie bloomz, and silica.
Insane frost and super swollen calyx on these plants. 😍
11/4:
Fed with one, signal, sweet & sticky, beastie bloomz, silica, and humic acid.
They're starting to produce a truly foul stench now...love it!👍
11/9:
I fed them today. Started tapering off the One. Stopped giving Beastie Bloomz and started them on Cha Ching, plus the normal doses of silica, signal, and sweet & sticky.
11/17:
I fed today but didn't have time for much of a photo session.
Gave them One, Signal, Sweet & Sticky, Cha Ching, and started them on LiquidSoil.
11/19:
The bigger plant just keeps putting on big swollen green calyx every day...such a big lovely freak! Amazing frost and pungent fuel aroma.😋
The smaller plant is a true beauty..got some purple in folage and flower and frosted over wonderfully. This pheno looks more like a Sugar Cane than the other.
11/28:
They've had their last nutrition and are both in the harvest window now. I'll probably flush them both later this week and harvest next weekend, or maybe sooner if time allows.
11/29:
I gave them water and Liquidsoil only today, and will flush them both on Thursday...they are ripe and ready!
12/1:
I went ahead and flushed them early and let them socialize with the other girls slated for execution for the night.
12/2:
I harvested both of them today and took some sexy photos.😍
