Now I am writing the 15 of april about germination more than two weeks ago, nothing very special, ordered seeds from Dutch passion about 20th of march, and the seeds arrived next afternoon, maybe someone hopped on a bike to bring them to me. Thunderday the 30th of march I thought it time, filled a bucket half with potting soil from the hardware store were they allso sell garden stuff mixed in half a spade of soil from my garden, for microorganisms and worms and like, and a hand full of a dry mixture of cow and chicken manure, and I dug up a dozen of earth worms from the garden. Second half of the bucket I filled with just potting soil and hydrated it with the shower.
I buried the seed just in the soil, and covered it with about 7 millimeter of dry sand. I think it was sunday evening when I saw a crack appearing, monday morning it raised itself above ground, and it was unfolded when the sun came through my window. I had two straight cloudless days when she germinated, and put her in the full sun right away.
The plant developed beautifully, no spaghettification.
I have a big plastic box and a piece of glass which I found on the street, which form a nice greenhouse, but I saw that when I have that thing closed in the sunshine, temperature rises rapidly, and I was tweeking a bit to get the temperature about right.
I found out that it would be impossible to make this greenhouse work while being away to my mothers for easter.
What I found out directly after germination, that sun is beneficial, If the plant is exposed to full sunlight it develops very nice, other years I was not that lucky with the weather.
Plant is growing very well under lamps and when available, the sun. The shape of the leaves is different from previous Frisian Dew, the fingers are broader. Does this mean that this one is more Indica?
@DutchPassion_Official,Thanks for your reaction, you do care for your babies 😉 Don't worry, when I had to leave the seedling alone, I covered the soil with a layer of sand, to reduce evaporation. I have a poking hole just above the bottom of the bucket to check moisture.
@Grow4Releaf,The top leaves are still green, the lower leaves are becoming yellow. Would it mean that the cuttings are sacrificing those leaves for the nutrients necessary for making roots?
@WatercanWampa,Thanks! That is allso a bit of perspective, because my shoes are further away from the phone than the leaves, but still, they are bigger than my hands. Because I want my plant to grow high, I pruned all sidebranches this morning, (I am trying to make clones) now all the nutrients and water go to one single growing tip, so she will probably make even bigger ones. She is allso standing in the ground for a week spreading her roots.
