martyn14 On 11/23, I germinated using the paper towel technique with 100% effectiveness.
On day 2 of germination, the seeds had already developed 2cm of root.
On day 3 of germination, they were ready to be transplanted into soil. I filled half of the pot with substrate mixed with "Namaste Amazonia Root," half a teaspoon between the two pots, and I placed the germinated seeds directly in. I moistened everything and then covered it with well-aerated soil so it wouldn't stress the seedling.
On day 4 of germination, the seedling was already visible above the soil, reaching for light. I kept them in the garage with only filtered light.
After the 4th day of germination, in a space with low light, only natural light coming in from one side of a semi-closed area,
on the 5th day, I started the vegetative stage. I noticed the plant had a very long stem, 5cm, so I applied direct light of 200w about 40cm from the plant for a period of 24 hours. I will keep this system for a week, watering with 75ml, and on the 6th day, I applied fertilizers to help with rooting through watering, in addition to what it has in the substrate.
On days 6, 7, and 8, with 24 hours of light, it grew an average of 1cm per day, achieving its 3rd pair of leaves. The Red Sugar is growing taller, the stem at least 3cm longer, but the leaves are the same size. On day 7, I didn't water the plants, and on day 8, I watered with 100ml of top Vege. On day 9, it continues to grow another 1cm.

martyn14 A week after starting germination, I decided to transplant the Sugar strain into a 12L geotextile pot and the Skunk strain into a 12L Rocket pot. I wanted to try two different ones to see if there’s any variation (just curiosity, it’s not really relevant since they are two different strains). Another thing I decided is to grow them outdoors, since I have permission from Reprocann to cultivate. I believe that with the accessories I have, I could never replicate nature, so now they are outside. Today, after the transplant, I left them in the dark. Later, I plan to use the LEDs at night and let the sun shine during the day, aiming for 20-24 hours of light to see what results I get. I only watered them with water at a pH of 6.2 and 600 ppm. At the end of the first week, I added diatomaceous earth to both the leaves and the substrate as a preventive measure.

martyn14 We started the second week of vegetation outdoors, with about 14 hours of light, both plants, the Red Sugar and the Red Skunk, have 4 pairs of leaves and a difference of 3 cm between them.

martyn14 On day 13-12, at about 21 days old, I had a problem with the Skunk strain. While watering it, a couple of leaves got splashed with some drops, and with the light intensity, they got burned, hence the holes you can see.
They already have 4 nodes and have started to grow their second pairs of leaves per node. The Sugar is growing much more than the Skunk; I don't know if it's due to genetics or the pot.
At 24 days old, I decided to move them outside. They are starting to grow exponentially; the Sugar strain is doubling in size compared to the Skunk.
I also noticed the presence of thrips, so I watered it with 2ml/L of mamboreta ABA.

martyn14 At the beginning of the week, I noticed they had already entered Pre-flower, and I added 0.5ML of top bloom since I use distilled water for watering with 20% tap water, just in case they needed nutrients. The plants were doing well, but on 12/24, the wind knocked over the skunk net, and it came out quite a bit from the substrate. Also, one night I put them in the greenhouse because of the wind, and they got filled with light bugs, so I sprayed again with MamboretaABA and added more diatomaceous earth, and the bugs disappeared.

martyn14 The plants have already entered flowering, and you can appreciate a very pleasant smell besides the purple flowers, which despite their young age, have an abundance of trichomes. They are growing more slowly in height, and the Red Skunk is struggling there; I think because of all the things that have happened to it, it has been stressed since it was small. The Red Sugar is doing well, at about 58cm; although it is skinny, it isn't fattening up, and I'm hesitant to give it more nutrients since we've had 20 days with temperatures above 35 degrees, and as we know, starting from 28/30, the plants don't absorb nutrients. It's a really tough summer in Argentina, especially in my area, in Entre Rios. But we'll get something out of it. I had more problems with my indoor hydroponic setup, where the solution wouldn't drop below 33 degrees, and the plants didn't grow at all...

martyn14 Starting the week, seeing that growth has already stalled, I do some defoliation, removing the largest leaves so that the bottom part of the Sugar Net has better buds. I also increase the dose of Top Bloom, and on top of that, I start adding Manamaste Molasses to the Trico +.

martyn14 Starting week 7, the plants seem static in their growth, so I increased the dose of molasses, a little more, and of top Bloom, but it's also been a week with temperatures above 40º, I really think they might not have survived.

martyn14 We're starting week 8, not counting the germination week, it's been 58 days of life. I kick off the week with a 2L watering with molasses; this is the last watering before doing the root flush, so it can feed on molasses. Then, in this last week, just water with the root flush, and in the final week, nothing. This way, the plant consumes its nutrients.

martyn14 I'm going to consider this the last week. I started it with a root wash; in fact, I did a root wash two days before, with about 20 liters of water or so, and I wanted to let it dry well, but it was a week of rain. No matter how much I kept it in a greenhouse, there was 90% humidity.
