SIDERAL

D1: Welcome to day one of vegetation with my Sideral seedlings from Ripper Seeds! Today marks the beginning of a new phase of growth and development as we enter the vegetative stage under the MARS TS1000 grow light in the grow tent. After a successful germination period, I carefully transplanted the Sideral sisters into Fox Farm soil mixed with perlite, providing a well-balanced environment for healthy root development. This hybrid strain, created by Ripper Seeds through a cross between Lavender (Soma Seeds) and Amnesia Haze (Hy-Pro Seeds), is now ready to embark on its vegetative journey. Positioned under the grow light, I ensured adequate light intensity and a very light watering to kickstart the vegetative growth phase. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be closely monitoring the sisters’ progress, adjusting environmental factors as needed, and providing the nutrients and care necessary for robust vegetative growth. Stay tuned for updates on how the sisters thrives during this crucial stage of its growth cycle. ✌️❤️🌱 D2 - Both Lil Sis and her sibling, Big Sis, are now in their final pot, housed in a peat container to minimize transplant shock and facilitate monitoring. This setup, where I’m experimenting with growing two plants together in one pot, allows me to explore different training techniques, marking my first attempt at this approach I made the decision to plant because the Peat container was falling apart and a root was already sticking out! D2- Big Sis is thriving in her first 8 hours of Low-Stress Training (LST)! We’ve worked up to this point with a change made every hour, and she’s responding great. Starting LST early on helps her adapt gradually, controls her shape for better light exposure, develops more branches for higher yields, optimizes space, and improves air circulation. My goal with these sisters is to achieve twinning through LST, and this is my first attempt at this technique. Stay tuned for updates as Big Sis continues to grow into a healthy and productive plant. D3: Lil Sis is progressing well and has started her stretch under the Low-Stress Training (LST) method on day 2. D4: The sisters, who share a pot, are both doing well and ready for watering tonight. Big Sis is on Day 4, and Lil Sis is on Day 3, both showing healthy growth in their shared environment. Going forward, updates will follow the days that Big Sis goes by for simplicity. ✌️❤️🌱 This is my first go at this, and it’s all an experience. The decision to stress both Big Sis and Lil Sis at such a young age is in effort to prepare them for twinning, the process of growing two plants together in close proximity, often resulting in intertwined growth patterns. By implementing stress early on through techniques like Low-Stress Training (LST), I aim to encourage lateral growth and create a stronger foundation for potential twinning in the future.
