Germination
3 months ago
Introduction According to Barney’s Farm this strain grows around 90 cm and yields 500 gr/m2 in about 70-75 days, commands a THC content of up to 25% and a CBD content of up to 2,4%. She is an indica dominant strain (65%) and has very tight node spacing. Germination I used the paper towel method, the temperature was around 20°C and it was dark. I filled the 5-gallon (19 l, 30x25cm) fabric container with BioBizz All-Mix (it contains 35% garden peat, 30% perlite, 20% sphagnum peat moss, 10% BioBizz Worm Humus, 5% Pre-Mix), but in the middle I left a 7cm plant pot sized hole, what I filled with BioBizz Light-Mix, because it is better for seedlings (it is lightly pre-fertilised). I was moistening the growing medium with 1,5l dechlorinated tap water when I put the seed on the paper towel, because BioBizz recommends it for 36 hours before planting, to activate the dry fertiliser Pre-Mix and the micro-organisms. The seed coat cracked in 48 hours. I put the seed into the soil on the 3rd of December (79 hours later than I put it into paper towels). I think the germination is a bit slow, maybe because of the relatively cold temperature. This round I'm growing 3 different strains (I'll write my experiences in separate diaries) and started germination at the same time. Although the other two plants had smaller radicles when I planted them, they emerged ahead of Wedding Cake (she hadn't popped her head out on December 8). I think the reason for this is that perhaps I put the seed in the hole with the radicle up and now it needs a little more work to position herself correctly. We'll see how far behind she is. Anyway, I have the grow light set at 50%, currently 45 cm from the ground. On 9 December, I put a plastic dome on the moist soil to maintain constant humidity. 7 days after planting (at dawn on the 11th), she finally popped her head out.

The 1st week of vegetation is over, the seedling is growing nicely. I have the grow light set at 50%, currently 45 cm from the seedling. So far, the plant seems to be doing well. I didn't add any nutrition to the watering this week, but BioBizz All-Mix soil contains 10% organic Worm-Humus and 5% Pre-Mix fertilizer. Since I used a nursing pot-sized section of light-mix soil in the middle of the pot and planted the seed in that, I don't think the roots have reached the fertilized soil yet, but if they have, they haven't really taken up the nutrients from there yet. D1 (11/12/2024): I watered her with a few tablespoons of dechlorinated tap water, and she was given a plastic dome to keep the humidity even. During this period, the plant is tied up in root formation and gets its nutrients mainly from the seed, and until the first true leaves appear, she can get water mainly through the leaves, so the watering was just to help the developing roots advance in the soil. D2 (12/12/2024): - D3 (13/12/2024): I sprayed about 30 ml of dechlorinated tap water at about 5 cm from the plant with a spray bottle to stimulate the horizontal expansion of the roots + left the dome + measured the height of the seedling: 2,3 cm D4 (14/12/2024): - D5 (15/12/2024): - D6 (16/12/2024): I measured her height again: 2,8 cm D7 (17/12/2024): -

The second week of vegetation is over, and the girl is growing nicely. Since she is leaning slightly sideways, she has LST'd herself. I didn't add any nutrition to the watering the first half of the week, but BioBizz All-Mix soil contains 10% organic Worm-Humus and 5% Pre-Mix fertilizer. However, from D12 I started adding BioBizz Bio-Grow and Fish-Mix, adding 1-1ml of both to 1.5 litres of water. D8 (18/12/2024): received 100 ml dechlorinated tap water D9 (19/12/2024): received 100 ml dechlorinated tap water D10 (20/12/2024): received 200 ml dechlorinated tap water D11 (21/12/2024): measured her height: 4,1 cm D12 (22/12/2024): received 300 ml dechlorinated tap water with BioBizz Bio Grow and BioBizz Fish Mix D13 (23/12/2024): - D14 (24/12/2024): measured her height again: 4,5 cm

At the end of week 3, she is progressing nicely. The week was uneventful except that I started LST on D21. The fertilization schedule remained the same. D15 (25/12/2024): received 200 ml dechlorinated tap water with BioBizz Bio Grow and BioBizz Fish Mix D16 (26/12/2024): - D17 (27/12/2024): 200 ml dechlorinated tap water with BioBizz Bio Grow and BioBizz Fish Mix D18 (28/12/2024): - D19 (29/12/2024): - D20 (30/12/2024): - D21 (31/12/2024): started the LST + 250 ml dechlorinated tap water with BioBizz Bio Grow and BioBizz Fish Mix

In week 4 she has bushed up nicely, although I am increasingly worried that she is lying so far to one side, her branches resting on the ground, so they can easily rot. In the middle of the week, I found that since the spacing between the nodes of all three plants in the grow tent was too small, I had to raise the grow light, but did not change the light intensity. D22 (01/01/2024): - D23 (02/01/2024): LST + received 300 ml dechlorinated tap water with BioBizz Bio Grow and BioBizz Fish Mix D24 (03/01/2024): minor defoliation + raised the light source (45 cm 63 cm) D25 (04/01/2024): - D26 (05/01/2024): LST + minor defoliation + 300 ml dechlorinated tap water with BioBizz Bio Grow and BioBizz Fish Mix D27 (06/01/2024): - D28 (07/01/2024): LST
