For seed germination a combination of glass of water method and paper towel method have been chosen:
- Water Soaking: This OG method involves soaking the seeds in water, giving them the hydration they need to kickstart the germination process. Just let 'em chill in the water, and watch the magic unfold. Once they crack open and the root shows go ahead with the paper towel method.
- Paper Towel Technique: Roll up the sleeves and get ready to flex those germination skills! Place the seeds between damp paper towels, creating the perfect environment for the little green warriors to emerge. It's like their own cozy spa retreat. Once the roots are about 0,5 - 1 cm long place the seed into substrate with the root facing downwards.
- Straight into the Substrate: No time to waste! Bury those seeds right into the prepared substrate, and let the party begin. Keep that substrate moist, and you'll see the seeds popping like they're eager to hit the stage.
Bonus Move: Now, here's where the real swag comes in. Before getting into any of the above methods, let's talk about that outer shell. We ain't messing around! Grind up those seeds' outer shell like a boss by throwing them into a small container with a sheet of sandpaper. Shake it like you mean it for about 30 seconds, and you'll see the shell getting a smooth makeover. Now they're all set for the germination dance! Let the green game begin!
The healing power of medical cannabis is not only found in its therapeutic compounds but also in the process of growing one's own crops. As cultivators, we embark on a profound journey, nurturing the plants from seed to harvest. With each tender touch, we cultivate hope and resilience, forming a deep connection with nature and our own well-being. The act of growing our own medical cannabis becomes a healing ritual, empowering us with knowledge, self-sufficiency, and the ability to tailor cultivation methods to our specific needs.
When it comes to our green comrades, the growing substrate is like their comfy crib, their cozy hangout spot. It's where all the magic happens! Think of it as their personal spa, where they can stretch their roots, soak up all the nutrients, and chill like the kings and queens they are. You know what they say, "Happy roots, happy shoots!"
Transplanted these fellows as early as week three into their final 30 l pots.
Bathed in dappled sunlight, it captures the essence of nature's enchanting beauty, a living testament to the harmonious coexistence between the mystical spectrum above and the earthly wonders.
The plants are ready to move to their final destination into the forest. Id love to explore a more sunny spot though have established dominance over natures forces at the current one. SO I will stick to it at least for this year. Looking forward to explore and develop as a grower.
EEmbracing the challenge of limited sunlight, buffeting winds, and rain's unyielding downpour. Undeterred by the harsh conditions, these tenacious beings adapt and thrive, proving that even in the bleakest moments, life's determination prevails.
In the intricate tapestry of plant genetics, nature has woven a spectrum of resilience that shapes how plants navigate the challenges posed by the elements. Just as individuals possess unique strengths and weaknesses, plant genetics dictate their inherent ability to withstand nature's forces. Some genetics yield plants with leaves that stand defiant against wind's embrace, while others offer a waxy armor that repels raindrops. The interplay of genetic codes determines whether pests are welcomed or shunned, whether drought is shrugged off or met with struggle. It's a symphony of adaptations, with each plant's genetic makeup composing a unique melody of survival strategies. Through evolution and selective breeding, humanity can compose harmonious compositions that balance the forces of nature with the needs of cultivation, creating plants that harmonize both resilience and productivity in the grand performance of life.
These plants perform exceptionally well in an environment of natures dominant forces. They must flourish planting a bit earlier in an attempt to grow some true monsters.
For the gardener, a long-awaited spectacle is on the horizon, as nature's theatrical production begins to shift its scenes. With the gradual shortening of the days and the sun's descent, a pivotal moment approaches when the magic of photoperiodism is set to unveil. As sunlight soon graces the garden with just 12 hours of its golden touch each day, a symphony of genetic responses will ensue. Buds will form, branches will stretch, and the canvas of green will transform into an intricate dance of flowering hues. This eagerly anticipated transition is akin to watching the curtain rise on a stage where plants take center stage, their performance scripted by the cosmos, and their growth directed by the rhythm of light and darkness.
The coming week I will start to feed some nutrients as bud growth is expected to kick in soon. I suspect some birds to feed on / ravish the plants, slugs are present as well though not of a huge concern at this point in time.
In the enchanting dance of nature, a rather audacious slug makes a bold entrance, flaunting its vibrant, iridescent colors as it elegantly devours the very first bud of the season. Its sassy demeanor seems to challenge the established order of the garden, daring to savor the delicate promise of future blossoms. As fall season sets the timer for forthcoming fair weather, this charming yet cheeky slug reminds us that beauty and boldness often come in unexpected forms, teaching us to appreciate the delicate balance between life's wonders and its playful, sometimes sassy, surprises.
This picture of a slug feeding on one of the first plants with a tender bud is likely one of most amplifying pictures - it gives reason to learn more about nature.
