I'm doing this old school & hoping for as many female sprouts as possible.
Germinating inside using paper towel, distilled water, recycled jewel case from a m.2 ssd and placed under an unregulated heat pad. I will take them outdoors once last frost takes place.
Aiming for a 💯 natural grow so window seals for seedling and rainwater once in potting mix. (Update: avoiding window seals due to rain, don't want them stretching too much while incubating indoors before last frost.
If/when males are found I'll germinate another to replace them.
Not sure if they're autos/feminized or not but I'm going in assuming they're at least autos because there's settle hints such as "Sun Grown" & "Fed with Rainwater" on the packaging of flowers they were found in.
So no LST or HST with these. Just gonna let them just do their thing. It's either gonna be a quick turnaround or a long haul with these. I'm betting on the former but welcome the latter!
Update 3/6/24:
3 sprouts so far... gonna tuck them back in and check up on them in the morning.
Update 3/7/24:
Now have four sprouts.
Update 3/8/24:
5 now sprouted and in soil. 2 left, will they germinate?
2 now have popped soil!
Update 3/9/24:
5 of 7 planted and popped soil. The other 2 I'll give another 24hrs before pitching them. Thinking they're duds.
Hopefully weather starts to break so I can get these gals outside more often. Heavy winds here lately and freezing nights.
So for now cruisin old school.
I sometimes forget that I even have these going. Hopeful to relocate them outdoors by months end.
Plan is to take clones around the 2 month marker and flowering them to sex and test, that of course if they're photos.
I've never grown an auto, but I would think if they're autos they'll be showing preflowers within weeks.
Easy enough... time tells all. Got 9 beaners of these left for a rainy day or gifts.
Well very uneventful grow so far.
Just add water.
This is good. They look good and uniform.
Enjoying the low maintenance run.

Decided to repot these in 1 gal fabric containers since I'll be out over the weekend.
No mycorrhizal used since plan on long veg for outdoors.
Been a minute but I've been super busy with work, yard work, garden work, the whole 9 yrds!
After months of waiting for the weather to break I've decided to clone these girls for the outdoors and proceeding to flower them indoors.
Every week we've been getting hit with tornadic storms / heavy 20mph+ winds / and heavy rain.
I figure this will give mother nature time to settle in her summer role.
This will also allow me to "weed" out any unwanted phenotypes and retain multiples of the ones that are keepers.
Anyways through all the storms, I was able to erect a proper outdoor greenhouse... just need to figure out how to make it legally compliant as it needs to be "secure". This will hopefully be the home of the clones.
What a joke, my closest neighboris 1/2 mile away. A simple knife can render "secured areas" insecure! I guess it's the effort that counts?!
Any ideas on how to secure a zipper based greenhouse from this creative community is welcome!
Anyways, after 3 days in the tent, I decided to do my first plant manipulations.
Heavy defoil removing bud sites and foliage from the 3rd node from the top --- down. Super crop HST and allowing a week for recovery before flipping the light schedule.
Really looking good for the lack of care amd underpowered lighting on these girls.
Still running on 💯 fox farms ocean . No additives... yet.
Been so busy here lately.
Girls went into flowering on the 1st.
Since these seeds were found in a dispensary bag, Preliminary research indicates a 45 day flowering period. If this holds true, that puts harvest around July 15th.
So far I've only fed with the waste water from my cold wash from prior harvest. Still running on fox farm ocean forest amended with "Down to Earth" Bat Guano.
Pulled enough on my last harvest to carry me another 2 months, so I'm ahead of schedule in my book.
Here's to building up a backstock varieties!
Looking good so far.
Might do a little more defoliation where growth is covering bud sites, other than that it's just cruise control.
Edit:

I Found 2 of 5 had hermed upon my daily inspections. Put them outside for isolation.
No obvious signs of stress, part of the gamble of finding bag seed. I guess the blueberry ancestry lends this tendency as well.
Either way, the herms are worth keeping (isolated) as the smell is too incredible to just throw them .
So Lavern & Juice seem to be more than okay since taking proactive measures of separation, isolation & pruning off nanners. No hints of seeds as of yet and loving the great outdoors.
Both indoor and outdoor smell amazing, like walking into a marijuana bakery... Definitely glad I chose to grow these out. From the initial oz of smoke to growing out the seed, it's been the gift that's kept on giving.
I till have 7 beaners left of these. For sure 💯 keepers in my book despite the risk.
7/9/24
Defoliation & add Support for bottom branches.

Still looks about a week off even though today is supposed to be the day according to breeder. My "Bench Warmers" are running out of room so I've decided to finish these fine ladies up outside.
Not long now... looks and smells 🔥🔥🔥
@Hattiwatti, best part, this was a basic grow. No real training other than a light HST before flower to strengthen them up a bit. 3 Gal pot, a little defoilation and homebrew tea. No need for expensive ferts or extra medium.
They ain't got the biggest of flowers, but they smell potent AF, dense and sparkle like the stars on a dark frosty night in BFE!
A big contrast to what I'm about to flower with the Watermelon Zkittlez. Got a helluva concoction that's got more parts than a Teenager's Long Island Ice Tea on a Skinny Dipping Tuesday!
Goes to prove, it's all about attentive care, sometimes less is more and more is less... #LawOfMinimum
@Hattiwatti, Thanks bro!
Yeah they're doing surprisingly good for a basic "experimental" grow.
Keeping it cost effective and trialing out 3 gallon fabric pots for the flowering cycle while utilizing my last crops as fuel for this grow.
I'm saving 10 Gallons of overall medium this cycle.
If I can NET 90% of my last cycles weight... and still get great buds.... this might be my default go to method.
Still have 7 seeds left. All found in a MI grown dispensary bag bought for . Seems they may have originated from Humboldt Seed Company? If so, what a score that buy ended up being!
Every transplant I was careful in guiding roots to prevent them from choking out. Still got around a month to go supposedly we'll see how well it goes.
