Germination Process:
The seeds were soaked in a glass of water with a pH of 5.8. After two days, all the seeds successfully germinated. They were then transferred into Jiffy pellets. Despite the seeds not appearing particularly impressive, they performed exceptionally well.
Grow Setup:
Method: Sea of Green (SOG) on a 60x60 cm area.
Training Techniques:
Topping: To create multiple main colas and ensure even growth.
Low-Stress Training (LST): To promote a flat and wide canopy.
Defoliation: To improve light penetration and airflow.
Optimal Growing Conditions:
Humidity Levels:
Vegetative Stage: 60-70%
Flowering Stage: 40-50% to prevent mold development
Temperature:
Maintain daytime temperatures around 26°C (79°F) for ideal growth.
Lighting:
Provide maximum light intensity to ensure robust growth and optimize canopy coverage in the SOG setup.
Expected Outcome:
Short Vegetative Phase: The SOG method accelerates flowering time by keeping plants shorter and densely packed, maximizing space efficiency.
Dense, Resinous Colas: Expect compact buds with a sweet, berry aroma and potential hints of spice
End of Seedling Phase Report
Environmental Conditions:
Humidity: Maintained between 70-80%.
Temperature: 19°C at night and 23°C during the day.
Lighting: The lamp was positioned 40 cm above the seedlings.
Observations & Actions:
Seedling Growth:
After a week, one seedling pushed itself out of the soil, exposing its root. This resulted in uneven growth. Since the plan is to select only one plant, this seedling was immediately discarded.
Hardening Off:
On day 7, the greenhouse lid was removed to introduce airflow to the seedlings. This helped them adapt to the external environment.
Adjusted Humidity: Decreased slightly to 60-70%.
Root Development:
By day 9, the other two seedlings had fully rooted through the medium. Each displayed a 1 cm main root protruding at the bottom, signaling readiness for transplant.
Transplantation:
The seedlings were transferred into 7-liter pots and watered lightly. A small amount of BioBizz Root Juice was added to support root development and reduce transplant stress.
Performance Feedback:
The seeds performed well overall.
Despite the potential to save the third seedling, it was deemed unnecessary due to the focus on selecting the healthiest plant.
This methodical approach ensures a strong foundation for the next growth phase, optimizing the plants for high performance in the upcoming Sea of Green setup.
