Started off by dropping two Lemon OG Haze seeds (from Nirvana) into a shot glass of PH adjusted water. I usually let it sit in a dark spot until the seeds sink to the bottom - about 12-24 hours. Empty that onto some paper towel, fold over and place damp towel with seeds between two dinner plates, in a warm spot for a couple of days. Both seeds popped nicely and went into paper cups.

Put these on my windowsill - I was concerned the grow lights would burn them but they probably could have used more light… they remain slenand fragile for a couple of weeks.

Seedlings went into Flexipots (fabric pots from Autopot) and hooked up to the Autopot watering system with a 47l external reservoir. I also used airdomes at the base of the pot, covered with leca and topped with the growing mix. Airdomes connected to an aquarium pump. Topped the growing mix with some diatomaceous earth, mixed down into the top inch. This is the best way I’ve found to control fungus gnats.

Once they got to about 5 nodes, I topped them and cleaned everything below to create a T-shape with growth nodes on opposing sides. This is the start of the manifold.

Another week of rapid growth…my aim is to keep them in veg until the stems are nice and solid - hoping that will support larger buds…

They’ve really stretched and put on some weight now…the smell continues to develop! I’ve added a carbon filter inside the tent because the entire area around my garage had a very prominent smell 😅

Harvested just over 1kg of wet bud - wet trimmed and hung in the tent to dry. I used the inline fan in a dark tent - I was worried about mould so cranked up the airflow…in retrospect should have dried it more slowly but still very happy with the outcome. Once I could easily snap the thinner stalks, I put the buds into jars with Boveda sachets to cure for 6 weeks. Ended up with about 350g of cured bud.
