Introduction as this grow has already been running for a few weeks, I just had the idea to open the diary:
I was sick and tired of all these forced Biobizz advertisements, all the whacky RQS advertisements here and there with stolen strain names and bad genetics, I wanted something a bit more special and trustworthy, from true breeders who enjoy their craft & aren't just a huge advertising business who happen to sell basic white label trash seeds like RQS does. So I decided to go for Speedrunseeds this time, in combination with Autopots, coco/perlite, and basic Canna Coco nutrients. I wanted it simple, easy, and without having to do.. anything at all. Refilling the reservoir every 3-5 days is amazing, I literally have to spend 20 minutes of my time every few days to do something & that's it already. No LST, no topping, just light leaf tucking in the beginning, and 1-2 defoliations later on.
Best decision of my growing hobby ever!

One Granite Haze F5 was germinated a few days earlier, then decided to germinate another 3 seeds. The difference is marginal in the days, the oldest is 5 days older than the other 3 seeds, so I will keep it as ONE, rather than 2 different descriptions here.
Germinated all seeds in solocups, 27°C temp, for 12 hours, smart heating mat applied.
Germinated all seeds in wet paper towel for another 12 hours, 27°C, smart heating mat applied.
Taproot already out by then.
Mixed up coco/perlite 60/40, with plagron coco perlite 70/30 being the main mix, with another 10% of perlite added.
Pre-watered every solo cup with a 400PPM solution of Calmag and Canna A+B at 5.8PH.
Added germinated seeds into the cups, added Great White Myco on top and on the seed, watered another 20ml, put a ziplock bag on each cup with some holes in each bag.
Threw into the tent with heating mat applied at 26°C, until sprout.
After sprout, I removed the ziplock bags, and counted day 1.
After 3 days, the first watering will be applied. No watering from insertion of seed until 3 days post sprouting.
First watering 500PPM (1.0EC) of Calmag + Canna A/B until runoff.
Raising EC by 0.1 daily, watering once a day until day 6-7, then TWICE a day until runoff.
With each watering, raise EC by 0.1, until you reach around 1.4-1.7EC final.
