Samsemilla Hey growmies, I’m here to share my first growing experience with you.
I hope you’ll enjoy it, and I’m open to any tips, tricks, or advice.
Alright then, let’s start with the germination:
I put the seeds in a paper towel, covered by two plates in a warm, dark place for germination (using water from my reverse osmosis filter) and moved them into soil two days later.
Unfortunately, only 4 out of 5 seeds made it.

Samsemilla I planned to use the following setup for this grow:
As substrate, I’m using Biobizz Light Mix with the following additions per liter:
300 grams of perlite, 7 grams of dolomite lime, and Biotabs fertilizer.
I used the Biotabs fertilizer according to the recommended schedule.
The only things I didn’t use at the beginning were Orgatrex and the tabs, but I’ll add them when transferring the plants to bigger pots.
For pots, I’ll be using the Autopot OnePot system with 4 pots including Airdomes. All of the water will come from my reverse osmosis filter system.
Initially, the water had around 10 ppm / 6.4 pH / 15.5°C, but it has changed a little bit since then.
The ppm dropped to 4, the pH went down a bit, and the water temperature rose to room temperature.
Samsemilla Three out of four plants are growing well, but one is struggling.
I think I may have overwatered it.
*SPOILER* she won´t make it 😭
The other plants in the tent will be moved to the balcony soon.
I’ll write a separate diary for the outdoor plants.

Samsemilla We’re in the third week of vegetation.
Unfortunately, the struggling plant didn’t make it, so I’m left with 3 plants. But as I learn from my mistakes, I’ll make some changes next time.
Samsemilla This week the 3 plants are planted into 3 liter pots and they will have the tent for their own from now on.
Biotabs fertilizer added as recommended in the sheets.
The outdoor plants moved into the other tent and will be moved to the balcony soon.

Samsemilla The plants are growing well in their new pots.
They've got a more deep green colour.
Watching them grow is a pleasure, I love it.

Samsemilla It's week 7 and the plants are growing.
The Babies became girls and the girls will become ladies soon.
Unfortunately I can't see them mature because I'll be on vacation for 3 weeks soon.
But I've got someone to take care of them and switch the light.
This week the plants moved into their final 15 liter pots.
Unfortunately I couldn't get the Autopot system running before going on vacation, so my bro has water them by hand

Samsemilla This week I'm enjoying my vacation.
I've received one picture which I shared.
I thought about sharing pictures from vacation but I've decided not to because I've already spammed with my pictures from work - I mean this platform is about growing not work or vacation.

Samsemilla It's the second week of flowering and I've returned from my vacation.
The plants have grown a lot.
They're all different heights now, which I'll try to compensate.
I'm planning on using a net to spread the branches more evenly.

Samsemilla Third week of flowering.
I've lifted two pots so the tops of all three plants are the same height and put in a net to spread the branches a little bit in place.
I've moved the fan and filter to the too of the tent to have more room.
The plants stretched a little.
Now the buds are starting to show.

Samsemilla The buds are growing dense and getting frosty.
Samsemilla I skipped the last week because I didn't take any pictures.
But this week there's some more pictures.
The buds are developing beautiful.
They're growing a lot and starting to get some beautiful colours.
They're starting to smell amazing as well.

Samsemilla This week could be the last before harvest.
Harvest should be 10 days from now but I will keep checking the trychoms with my USB microscope to be sure.
The buds are developing beautiful.
The plants are starting to take the energy from the remaining leafs.

Samsemilla It's the last few days before harvest.
The leafs are fading and the trychoms are becoming more and more milky.
There's amber coloured ones on the leafs but not on the buds yet - that's what I'm waiting for.
Samsemilla I cut the plants, remove the remaining fan leafs and hang the plants upside down inside the dark tent for 8 days.
After 8 days I trimmed the buds and put them into glass containers with boveda packs.
I burped the containers everyday for 10 minutes (first two weeks twice) for about 4-6 weeks.
first of aöll , happy harvest
and i agree the combination of biotabs and autopot, is a devine one
never have been easier to grow-
but my friend what missed biotabs for you ? because we are talking about 8 of 10 points
because we would have loved to convince you with our products-
or is it just your rating style?
no matter we are happy and i hope you are too
@Mia_BIOTABS, Hello and thank you for your comment – and congratulations! 🎉
I’m extremely satisfied with your products and the results they’ve delivered. They definitely deserve a 10 out of 10 for their quality, especially when used in combination with the Autopot system, which has been a game changer for me. 💯
My only concern is the price, which is a bit higher than I’d like. This is why I’ve deducted one point, though it may be due to pricing at the particular store I shop at. I’ll explore alternative options to see if there’s a better fit.
I’ve also deducted another point based on my rating style, leaving room for future improvements. If your products evolve even further or continue to impress me, I’ll gladly adjust my rating.
Overall, I’m very pleased with your products and look forward to using them again in future grows. Hopefully, my next experience will lead me to give a full 10/10! ❤️
wow, neat. It looks smaller in the pix but seeing a flower in your hand its a good 30 cm bud:)
It looks like some breed from upstate new york - so about 2 and a half months plus a month for drying and ur ready to go ! that is fast ! you know you can just pop the jars in the oven at around 88 celcius for about 7 minutes to dry um up :)
