Week Description for Germination of a Morello Cherries Auto Seed:
This week, I began germinating a Morello Cherries Auto seed from TerpyZ Mutant Genetics. I placed the seed in a solution made of three parts water (H₂O) and one part 3% hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). After 24 to 32 hours, the seed showed signs of sprouting and was placed in a pre-fertilized coco coir pellet.
After three days, I transferred the sprouted seed into a 12-liter pot filled with soil. To encourage root growth while protecting the delicate young roots, I applied Greenhouse Feeding BioGrow at 4 g/L in the lower part of the pot and a lighter dose of around 2 g/L in the upper part mixed with cultivation soil.
A mini greenhouse dome was placed over the seedlings to maintain high humidity and create an ideal environment for the young plant. Afterwards I watered with ph adjusted Water with BioEnhancer from Greenhouse Feeding
The grow light was set to the second-lowest setting to prevent overexposure while providing optimal light for early growth with 200ppfd. The plant was kept properly hydrated to ensure consistent moisture levels for root development and initial growth.
The plant was watered once with 1 litre of water with Bio Enhancer from GHF. I forgot to put the greenhouse lid back on the plant in the middle of the first week and the little one got burnt. Nevertheless, it continues to grow well and recovered very quickly after the cover was put back on. The plant does not yet smell.
This week, the plant continued to develop with no major issues. However, signs of a magnesium and calcium deficiency have started to appear, which may require adjustments in the nutrient schedule with Calmag. The plant was watered once with clear, pH-adjusted water to maintain a stable environment. A mild yet distinct aroma has also begun to emerge, hinting at the plant’s unique character as it matures. Overall, growth is progressing well despite the minor nutrient deficiencies.
The little ones are developing well, unfortunately there are a few minor nutrient problems in the direction of Calmag with the Morello Cherries and also slight signs of this with the TerpyZ Punch. I counteracted this with a foliar spray. The pH value of the hydrosystem has unfortunately dropped a little to 5.5, which I have equalised with ph up from Plagron. The plants are currently getting light between 800-900 ppfd and as soon as the stretch starts, l'll increase this to 1000 ppfd. Both ladies are slowly starting to smell.
One week more. The two ladies have developed quite well in the last week and I have now defoliated them again. I think the yellow leaf tips are due to low humidity. The morello cherries auto in the soil also had a bit of bad news for me. There was a small bag of bananas, which I have removed for now and will continue to observe whether new ones appear. With a new cultivar, I can well imagine that it will be even more stable.
Otherwise, the morello Cherrie flowers very fast and l'm a little surprised at the low stretch.
The Morello Cherries Auto has developed well in the last 10 days. My humidity was a little too low, but the plant is slowly starting to develop an aroma. It’s not very strong yet, but quite interesting—I’ll go into it further as the plant progresses. It shows initial signs of phosphorus deficiency. I might look for some organic phosphorus fertiliser. I still have some Biobizz Biobloom, which I could use sparingly, but I’d prefer to avoid adding too much nitrogen. Let’s see how it continues to develop.
I feel like I didn’t put enough fertiliser in the soil of the Morello Cherries Auto. It’s starting to show early signs of autumn colours and nutrient deficiencies. However, it has a very distinctive sweet odour.
