Germination
4 months ago
It's still cold in Germany and Starting indoor wss the plan. I started 6 seeds of this strain, all of them germinated well, 2 had a helmet issue but overall, they had a great start and it took them 24-48 hours to show up. It's my first grow after a long break and the availability of grow supply was limited in Germany during spring. I was late to the party and decided to go the oldschool route, just using the available. In my case It's been 11litre plastic pods from 20 year ago. One of the pots said mazar 2003, so that's probably what was in there back then. I was stupidly unpatient enough to wait for availability of proper soil, I ended up with a cheap and crappy dirt from a local store. I mixed it with some coco i had left from building jungle terrarium backwalls. In other words, I used the junk I had around the house. First week was fun and I was quite impatient. We had some warmer days but I had them under led panels. You guessed it, led panels I had lying around the house. In my case 3 50rs by gvm - these are made for video and filmmaking, not for growing Cannabis. But light is light to some extent and it's only meant to be supportive in case of bad outdoor circumstances like rain or cold or missing light hours. I used 1 of the panels in week 1 and a little bit of sunlight. I used 4 of the 6 for some experiments, these are not part of this review (still 6/6 germination rate speeks for the seeds), however we go on with 2 keepers that performed best. These 2 started in 11l pots directly. No nutriants. No ph metering (tab water is 8.2, which i didn't know back then). Probably overwatered the pots also Plants didn't care and grew.

Week 1 still with just the first true leaves. Kinda boring week as the beginning is usually slow. Probably had the light too high , as my plants turn out to be a bit leggy. Besides that, they grew and all they got was tab water for the week once in a while.

Weather was getting worth and plants mostly strive under led this week. They got nothing else than tab water, which comes out at 8.2 - not ideal but so far it seems plants are still growing and no signs of issues besides my impatience.temp dropped outside and growth slowed a tiny bit. End of week 2 I had a nice little 2 plants, which doesn't seem to care too much yet. They probably can do better in better conditions, however,it is, what it is and it works good enough for this run.

It's end of may/early june and outside it's warm and sunny. Sunbaths ist possible. They love it. Well, there are some issues occuring, one is the humidity, the other the high ph tab water. Ordered some ph test liquid kit and ghe tripart. Finally it was back in stock. Halleluja. Since my pre-furtlized substrate will eventually run out of nutrients, it's better to have a replacement ready to use when needed.
