As I write this, I'm still buzzing from the amazing CNNBS Harvest Party. What an event! Great people, delicious outdoor cannabis, and endless goodies. ✌️ The highlight? My Alpine Crocket won the 2024 Outdoor Weed Test, earning me a Minigrow One grow box. 🎉
The timing couldn’t have been better since upcoming renovations and extra people at home made a new indoor grow seem unlikely. The Minigrow One, however, is perfect for stealth grows—it’s super quiet! Installation was a breeze: plug it in, and you’re ready to go. While it automates most tasks, you can still tweak settings like LED intensity and airflow if you want.
The main challenge will be the limited height. I’ll need to manage stretch, train the plant, and switch to flowering early. Fortunately, the strong lights encourage shorter internodes, making things easier.
For this grow, I’ll use a seed gifted by Jos from Seedstockers at the party: Frosty Tooth, a cross of Ice Cream Cake and Frosted Runtz. The seed is germinating in a ROOT!T plug soaked in water with Bactrex. After sprouting, the plant will grow in an 11L pot for two weeks before the Minigrow automatically switches to flowering mode. The grow box takes care of almost everything—you just set the phases and let it work!
I’m excited to see what this grow brings. Stay tuned for the next update!
