The seed was placed on top of a bed of worm poo that was filling a decomposable fibre pot that was sealed in a jiffy bag and left in my drying tent to germ - two days later she was up and running.
Once up, I buried the seed put it under the light, sitting on a propagator
The seedling was planted up in to her final pot once she stood up. The final is a 18ltr plastic pot that comes with teh Wilma system, I have drilled many many holes all around it for air pruning, it has always worked well for me.
Forgot to add the overall pictire pon my firsyt post:Environment:
Hygger res heater
2x 60w tube heaters
Rhino pro carbon filter
InkBird heat controller
GAS EC1 fan/heat controller
Boyu air pump for airstones
Nutrients:
- Growth Technology, Green Haze - Grow and bloom A&B
- Tribus, promotes rhizobacteria
- GG mono-silic
- Formulex
- Buddha’s Tree Advanced Meta Boost
- Buddha’s Tree PK 9-18
- Remo velokelp (I only use for foliage pre-training/abuse
- Terra Aquatica Calcium Magnes
it seems like there is a lot but it is obviously all used at different times - e.g once the baby is in her stride she only really gets grow A&B touch of Advanced meta boost, and a drop of silicon - and of course Calmag.
Medium:
Canna Coco pro with clay pebbles at about 60/40
Drinking nicely and growing along - I went away for a long weekend, so topped up the res with fresh water and weak solution.
The temps have fluctuated more than I wanted so I added a radiator and another inkbird to teh tent to keep the tent at 25 day and night, RH is now very low but as she has taken well this is of little concern to me or her.
Pictures are at day 14 or so
over the week she was tied down a little and defoliated where needed, I want her to be as big as she can.
Lights came down to about 20 inches, nutrients went up to 1.6 over the week - after every fondle she fgets a good foliar spray with Remo Velokelp which is magic, she is almost startled back to attention.
She is 28 days old today - yay.
Things are going well for her, she has had a busy Jubilee week, she got tied down, then defoliated, then again and again - now she is loving life again - I gave her a good foliar spray of Remo Velokelp, I swear that stuff has red bull inside.
Her spacing is short so she has been a touch hard to train, speaking with the breeder he [refers to let the Predators grow naturally.
I have seen the first few white hairs but i dont think the stat of flower has begun, so looking forwards to the stretch where i will allow her to grow upwards
Take care all

So then, apologies all - I went away for a couple of weeks.
I set the watering up before I went using a stopcock in the Wilma res connected to a larger res outside of the tent and Lung room.
Inside the Wilma res the nuts were Grow A&B, and in teh larger feeder res it was Bloom A&B, so during my absence the increase in bloom took place and the bud formation started nicely. When I got back last night I threw in 30ml of PK9-18 to give them their first dose of that being about 2.5 weeks in to flower.
Overall Happy with the progress - she grew plenty in the time along with her sisters in the tent, the only downside for being away that long is no one can keep them tame so I returned to a a bit of a jungle. Got a good clear up this morning and will have another one tomorrow to strip them bare before being left alone to the end.
This week the lovely predator has spent her time fattening up. There are three plants in the tent and the res is now being topped up with 19 litres every second day. Current EC is at 2.2 and she is loving it. Very stocky, emitting a strong sweet chemically fruity smell.
Very easy so far - a real treat to grow, plant, train, leave it alone.
The PK has been upped slightly to 1ml p/l. this will be the last PH feed and then back to just the Green Haze A&B bloom and Calmag to the end.
Night time temps have been a little lo so I added a radiator to the lung room connected to an Inkbird, now the air being drawn into the room is just right and keeping things stable.
PH is getting a little high for my likings so will be putting the dehumidifier on again.
thats it for now - happy growing

I have been away for 8 days and just got back. Not much to report, they drank over 110ltrs in my absence from the res and the additional butt I added.
The heat in the UK is a touch high but no real drama and the plants are loving life. EC still at 2.2 with PH at 6
Growing this lady was easy as pie, I was away for about half the grow around the country or indeed in another country. She ploughed through everything. She will not be a massive yielder but I dont thin k i have seen anything with this much sugar on in my days. I will grow this one again.
Give me two weeks and I will do a smoke report and weigh in once dry
