~Started with about 15 seeds from around the US and France germinating in filtered water with 1 drop of H202(Hydrogen Peroxide) on June 15th. After about a week I transferred the 10 that popped open with tap roots into small starter pots with happy frog soil that was moistened with ph balanced water and all placed under humidity top.
~Planted 6/24~
~June 28-July 4th~
🌡️Temp: 🌞78-86 , 🌚74-80
💨Humidity: 🌞80-99%, 🌚70-90%
💡Lights: 🌞18h/6h🌚, 24’ from 🌱,
PPFD approx-250-275
🌬️Airflow: 2 small oscillating fans and a 200cfm inline fan+carbon filter
Day 1-Sprouts popped up for 3, unfortunately the only light source at the time was indirect light from the sun. Spritzed with ph balanced filtered water.
Day 2- Another sprout popped up, 1 sprout starting to reach
Day 3- All 4 doing well. Spritzed with ph balanced filtered water. Lights came in so now they can be transferred to tent.
Day 4- All 4 doing well, first true leaves starting to grow in. Had to take the reaching one out of the humidity box and put its own water bottle half dome on it since it was too tall from reaching. Did the same with another just so they are comfortable.
Day 5- All 4 doing Great. Spritzed with ph balanced filtered water.
Day 6- All 4 Continue to grow. I’ve started germinating the only feminized seed this grow as well so it will be about a week behind.
Day 7-All 4 plants growing good. Looked at the other soil and found a sprouting trapped under some soil so I replanted it carefully in hopes that it grows. Spritzed with ph balanced filtered water.

First set of pics from day 10, second from 14
~Day 8~ Plants growing good. 2nd largest leaves were curled and figured I overwatered so I’ll leave them for a few days until soil is dry. The sprout I found trapped under soil is now replanted so there is 5 sprouts from the 10 random seeds. The only feminized seeds has been planted as well.
~Day 9~ Everything is growing great! The 2 smallest sprouts from the original 4 are showing signs of weird leaf growth but that’s to be expected with random seeds. The 2 larger ones are doing good but ones leaves are still curled. New sprout is doing great with first true leaves coming in. Fem seed hasn’t sprouted yet.
~Day 10~ Everything is looking great today. The new sprout is growing good and I have high hopes for the not yet sprouted fem seed. The 2 larger sprouts are still growing and 1s leaves are still curling but the soil is still moist so I’m waiting in the hopes I just overwatered. The 2 smaller sprouted still have weird leaves coming in.
~Day 11~ The fem seed still hasn’t spotted but the other plants look good, the new sprout is healthy and growing while the 2 larger sprouts are still growing but drooping a bit. Other sprout still is growing weird leaves but looks healthy. The burnt tips stem looks very weak and almost constricted and I have hope for it but I think it’s out of my control. This was to be expected with random seeds..
~Day 12~ Unfortunately the sprout with burnt tips died and with further inspection it seems the seed lining suffocated the stem as it grew and it eventually died when it couldn’t get water and nutrients from its tiny stem. Other plants are doing good, slight leaf drooping still by the 2 largest plants which happen to be in the smallest pots so I really think they got overwatered and will bounce back because growth still looks healthy. Had to put larger downs on the 2 big sprouts because they were getting too big for their last bottle dome. Humidifier is also working great and keeping the tent RH about 75-85%.
~Day 13~ Plants look good I really hope the drooping stops with the 2 larger plants but they still look healthy, the weird mutated growth continues but it is growing more normal leaves now. The new sprout is doing good and the seed still hasn’t quite popped up but I can see it’s top through the soil. Took the domes off the larger sprouts now that the RH is constant and introduced them to the oscillating fans to promote healthy stems and help circulate air to promote growth and hopefully help dry the soil out a bit faster so they don’t get root rot.
~Day 14~ Plants are looking good, although under further inspection the newest seed didn’t make it which was the only feminized one of the bunch, not sure exactly what happened but it never was able to make it through the soil. The 3 other plants are showing slight signs of a deficiency or overwater as shown in the pictures so I’m definitely still waiting to water but going to start nutes next feed when they are better. Adjusted the lights to make sure the 4 remaining plants are all ok. The smallest sprout is also doing great.

~Day 15~ Plants are still showing signs of a deficiency or overwatering. I’ll continue to wait to water but will add nutes next time I do. The new growth on the 3 plants look good and the smallest sprouts growth is looking good. Started ph balancing and dechlorinating my humidifier water just in case.
~Day 16~Plants seem to finally be drying out after the overwatering, the growth on the 2 biggest plants has been stunted and the mutated plant is still growing funky. Smallest plant is growing well. Dialing in on the humidity and temps well. Close ups of the discolorations on the 2 largest plants in the photos.
~Day 17~ Old discoloration not gonna get better but it hasn’t spread anymore so that’s good. The plants are still growing slow though which gives time for the mutated plant and the sprout to catch up at least. Woke up to the mutated sprout producing resin like drops from its lower leaves and it had a noticeable smell to it almost similar to a concentrate smell of thc. Prepping the 2 bigger plants for transplant tomorrow, filled 2 fabric 3-gallon AC Infinity pots with about an 1-1.5in layer of perlite at the bottom then Happy Frog and Perlite mixed in a 75/25 ratio layered over top of that up to the holes. Put the plants in the hole still inside their original pots so I could adjust the lights and get them used to their new places.
~Day 18~ Woke up to not much change with the plants other than some small growth in the mutated plant and the small sprout. Definitely time for a transplant and some nutrients so I prepped them for transplant. I mixed up my GH Trio along with some GH Cal-Mag and Ph-down all in distilled water along with a separate spay bottle of rooting powder diluted with Ph balanced distilled water to spray in the hole and on the root mass. The plants were very hard to get out of the small pots and the roots were sticking to the sides while the dirt was falling out around them so I had to cut open the pots and manually set them in. Not too messy but I was scared for the plants, I watered them both approx 250ml of the new nutrient mix along with the other 2 plants who got less. Will check back tomorrow.
~Day 19~ All the plants have exploded with growth since yesterday, the 2 biggest plants have perked up and grown a lot while the mutated has sprouted even more leaves and the little sprout now has its second set of leaves coming in. Everything looks great and I have more confidence in the grow now that I know the nutrients and environment is good for them.
~Day 20~ Lot of new growth continues and the transplant and feed seems to have worked really well. More leaves keep appearing and the growth seems to be going at a much faster rate as they grow older. Getting the other 2 plants ready for transplant tomorrow and I will feed them all again.
Transplanted the final 2 plants to the new pots and dialed in the temp and humidity as best I could before leaving town in a few days. Plant growth looking good across them all. Alight yellowing on leaves but I believe it to be overwatering and ph issues so I’m just waiting.
Topped and tied over the larger 2 plants before I left town. Upped the nutrients and fed 500ml to the larger 2 and 250ml to the smaller ones. Slight nitrogen excess looks like but nothing I can do until I’m back.
Still was out of town most of this week and returned to much taller plants with developed nodes so I spread everything including the auxiliary branches out on the 2 larger plants and tied down the 2 smaller plants. The mutated plant had 3 natural main tops so it will be interesting to grow. The LST looks great and the canopy is even.
First week fully back from outta town, plants have recovered nicely after defoliation and tie over. Lot of new tops exposed and growing and now I’m just trying to fill out the tent before flower. Still looks like I have Nitrogen excess and slight nutrient burn so I might leave out mutes next time I water or lower them.
