Hello friends,
this will be my first grow und grow report EVER. I will make a lot of mistakes, but I will be really thankful for any kind of tips. My mother language is german so you can also write comments in german. SInce germany allows three plants since the 1st April of 2024, I will grab the chance and fulfill a childhood-dream of mine: growing my own (easy) bud.
I hope you enjoy the report!
*** GERMINATION ***
I used the Paper-towel-method and put the seed between two plates and two paper towels
- Temperature -
average: 21,2 °C
min: 20,1 °C
max: 24,9 °C
start: 24-04-14 - 02:25 o clock
germinated: 24-04-15 - 21:30 o clock
length: about 1 cm
*** FIRST POT ***
Sadly, I made the first mistake: I used to less substrate so the pot looks a bit lost I made a hole about 2cm deep and put the seed into it. Then I watered it until it drained and let it soak in the drain for about 10 minutes. Then I put a plastic bag above it and put it in the tent.
Fan: Primaklima Whistleblower EC 800m3h at 10% with a RhinoPro 300m3h and about 1 meter of PhonicTrap.

*** EDIT 01.05.2024 ***
So my first easy bud never came out of the soil... I started a second one and it did come out. This time, I put them not as deep, made the soil more compact by pushing it in, and watered it properly with about 150ml of water (from the tap, put it aside for 24h). This time I used a potting mix.
I did the same for a Green Crack and a CBD Crack from 420 fastbuds on the 24th oh April, which I will put outside on the balcony later. I watered the cbd crack with 250 ml (just to test different things out).
I forgot to weight the pots before I watered them the first time... thought about it 2 days later.
Weight:
26.04.24, 19.30
Easy bud: 440g
Green Crack: 450g
CBD Crack: 470g
01.05.24, 22.50
Easy bud: 390g
Green Crack: 381g
CBD Crack: 415g
I did not water them any more since. Lets hope they will rise and shine. Guess I will have to water soon.
*** UPDATE 03.05.2024 ***
So the CBD Crack and the Green Crack started going yellow and leafes curling down. The Easy buds leafes were being limp and also going more yellow. They also stopped evolving.
I asked here and in other discussion boards and it seem slike the potting mix I used was NO good (way too hot, too much Phosphat and Kaliumoxid) for the plants. So I made a decision and repotted them in the same pots but with BioBizz light mix. I know automatics should not be repotted at all, and I planned to do it once. So know it will be two times in the end. But the plants are already looking better and started growing again. So lets hope this solves the problem and will not leave too big scars.
Thanks for all the answers, you guys are awesome.
I wonder if theres something wrong,.. The cbd crack has a white tip, the green crack has a leaf that curves down and goes yellow... not sure what to do. Will observe for now until someone has a good idea. Used potting soil and watered 150ml at the start, none after that..
Mix 15ml of piss with 200ml water, shake well and add 10ml each day to the base of the plant, add paper towels on toe bottom of the pot to draw out moisture and wait.
It will bounce back within a week!
I don't like how wet your media looks, especially if you didn't just water them. It's probably holding too much moisture and stunting root development. Mixing perlite into your mix really assists with drainage and helps keep your soil loose for your roots. Also some potting soils come preloaded with compost, etc and could be a little too hot for your seedling. Potting "mixes" are generally lighter and safer for young plants.
*** Update 08.05.2024 ***
So I would say every plant recovered pretty nice. I guess the problem was the potting soil, switched to BB light mix, and everything seems fine now. They probably had burn from the potting soil, that was too high on Kaliumoxid and Phosphat, so too hot for them. You can still see the damage of the wrong soil, but I think leaving the leafes like this is better than removing them. I will let them grow for now. No extra fertilizer, no water until now (except directly after repotting). They airflow runs above the plants, every 2 hours for 15 minutes.
Best Greetings,

Hey guys, I wonder if I should already repot the Girls? Earth is nearly dry, and I am not sure if I should water them and Leave them Like this for some More Time or Repot into the Last Pot.
Also thinking about turning the light from 25% to 50% power.
I'd wait a bit longer. From what your diary says, you just repotted a few days ago because your soil was too hot. Give them a chance to grow and fill out their roots a bit first.
So my general rule is when I see roots on the sides then it’s time to up pot. So if you can see that then you defiantly can up pot now.
A little trick is to take your container with the plant in it and fill the new pot with dirt all around the existing pot that has the plant in it. This leaves the absolute perfect hole that you can easily plop and drop your plant directly into it.
Also, now is the time to Apply Mykos to your roots. The beneficial fungi expand the roots reach 100x or more. I use Garden Xtreme Mykos when I transplant.
As far as the light goes, this really should be measured and not guessed. Download a PPFD app on your phone and get a reading at the plant. You should be around 350-400 PPFD for 18/6 light schedule. Then tune your intensity / heights of the light to get you into that range.
I hope this helps.
New week, new luck. I repotted the Crackys on 11.05.24 and the easy bud on 15.05.24. The Crackys where really dry and one went into pieces in my hand. There were no white roots also. The Easy bud was the total opposite. White roots everywhere and perfekt moisture for repotting. Lets see how they will develop. I still dont know which was the better choice. We will see later on.
WIll keep the girls together in the tent until there is too less place, then I will throw the crackys out, on the balcony.
The CBD Crack got a 10l plastic pot, the green crack a 15l fabric pot and the easy bud a 11l fabric pot.

The crackys are outside, having some problems with insects. Dont know what they are. Plants growing big and strong.
Easy bud in the tent is already in flowering stage. I took some of her leafs, that were at the bottom (not more then 10% of the leaf mass).
I also put the the light on 75% when i put the crackys outside (22.05.2024), turned it to 100% on 26.05.2024.
Watering them every 2-3 days, about 20% of the pot volume.
Hello friends,
all plants are flowering now.
The easy bud looks perfectly fine and grows day by day. I will probably also crop the popcorn buds on the easy bud.
The Crackys on the balcony are rising too. First flowering signs are visible since the day before yesterday. Couldnt find the insects anymore. Took some leafes, will take some more the next days.
Sadly, the plants outdoor have some brown circles on the leafes. I guess its because the fertilizer dosage was too high. If someone has another Idea, please tell me.

Have a great day and keep blazing,

So the Easy Bud in the tent Looks Like trouble. The Leafs turn yellow with brown circles… im clueless what It could be but it does not look Healthy. The Leafs at the deepest bottom Look Fine… All Others dont Look good..
Kann zu viel N sein wenn deine unteren Blätter sehr dunkel sind und die neuen Triebe verbrennen. Du solltest auf jeden Fall deinen PH prüfen. Messe den PH des runoff beim nächsten Bewässern. Es ist schwierig deine Frage mit so wenig infos zu beantworten Mineralische Dünger oder Organische. Nimmst du Erde oder Cocos oder hast du Schädlinge das sind sehr wichtige Informationen wenn man dir wirklich helfen will.
@xhibo, mein Fehler, hatte eig erwartet eine quick one zu bekommen, hab dann aber doch eine easy Bud gekriegt. Hab den Titel geändert. Dir viel Erfolg bei deinem Outdoor Grow, werde vorbeischauen, möchte auch bald Outdoor zusätzlich starten🤙🏻
@xhibo, auf jeden Fall bis die Keimblätter sichtbar sind. Dann mache ich immer mehr Löcher rein und schaue, wie sich die RLF verändert. Wenn sie sich in der Nähe der RLF des Zeltes (vmtl. so 50-60%) angeglichen hat, kommt sie weg. Vlt kommt sie aber auch gleich weg nachdem die ersten Blätter sichtbar sind. Bin auch nur Neuling und probiere mich aus 😋
Da du ja eine Anzuchtbox hast, würde ich mir die Tüte an deiner Stelle sparen
