Cookies Gelato Automatic by RQS

Let's kick off this new season! For this one I am more excited than usual, wanting to devote much more attention and care to my new seedlings; purchased as always from RQS. In addition to three seeds of Cookies Gelato Automatic, I wanted to try the Easy Grow Kit that they sell on store, for the vegetative and flowering stages respectively: 1x Easy Grow (3 pcs); 1x Easy Bloom. I also purchased a 100-gram packet of Easy Boost organic nutrition, to be mixed into the soil before transplanting, so that the plant is provided with the right nutrients from the very first days. For these first few days of germination, I helped myself with Soil Plugs since I did not have potting soil available yet. I moistened them well by dipping them in a cup of water and wringing them out well to remove the excess (being careful not to crumble them). Then I inserted the seed with the tip pointing downward directly into the small hole of the soil plug. I arranged them on a simple tray and stored them in a dark, covered place. To maintain the right level of humidity I covered them with a glass bowl, and when necessary I hydrate with a water misting spray. As for Ph levels, soil plugs help to keep it at pH 5.7 ± 0.2. One more thing that has fascinated me is relying on the phases of the moon, which also inspired me to write this journal. I would let the seeds to germinate in these days of Crescent Moon, in the hope that they will be born in conjunction with the Full Moon on April 6. I also took into account the zodiac signs theory, waiting for the moon to enter the earth sign of Virgo. We will see if it has any impact on growth. I may even be jinxing myself by starting this blog already. I will update the page in the coming days trusting to see this new generation of seedlings emerge. For the moment I will keep the number of strains success to 0, I'll update it later. See you soon! -planting_bythemoon
