DAY 26 :
👉 I selected 8 of the 12 seedlings and repotted them into 8 AutoPot XL containers. These pots hold 25 litres, but because of the AirDomes there is only room for a 22.5 litre potting mix.
👉 My potting mix for this diary consists of 100 litres of recycled soil mix (50/50 soil/perlite) from a previous harvest, mixed with 40 litres of fresh potting soil and 40 litres of perlite. I enriched the mix with 1000 grams of Biovin (dry organic compost made from grape residues), 100 grams of Flower Safer (mycorrhiza), 120 grams of Outdoor Bloom (Gen1:11) and 40 grams of Oudoor Grow (Gen 1:11).
👉 I placed 4 growth tablets on the bottom of each pot. They are prototypes from Bioplantenvoeding.nl. Their old tablets are no longer available, but they are working on new tablets.
👉 Before repotting I sprinkled some Flower Safer (mycorrhiza) in the planting hole.
👉 During the day I place a plastic propagator over each plant to keep the humidity high. During the night I remove the propagator and turn on the oscillating fan so that the plants catch some wind and therefore develop a stronger stem.

DAY27 :
👉 I mixed 10 liters of water with 50 ml of liquid thick organic fertilizer (NK 5-3) from the regular garden store and 2.5 ml of Pep Roots (not liquid, more of a pasta) that I got for free from the local grow shop. Then I divided the 10 liters over the 8 plants.
Biscotti is one of my all time favorite strains. Following to see how she grows!
I soak my seeds in water for 48 -72 hours max. Usually there's at least a tiny root poking out by then. Either way I put it in soil after that and they pop within 3-5 days later. If 1 week passes and it don't sprout then it's a dud.
@Qutro, I'll do my best 😋 It's been a while since I started a seed diary. I had cuttings of some nice varieties, but the urge to start with a new strain was unstoppable. 😖 I'm looking forward to the moment I can test my first Biscotti bud😙✋
@greenthumb42, The tablets are approx the same as biotabs, but they are from another Dutch onlinecompany called bioplantenvoeding.nl. They are specialized in organic growing. Their tablets are called Healthy Start tablets, but they are out of stock (new owner), but working on new tablets. I got some prototypes to test. There is enough nutrition in the tablets to provide the plants with nutrition for the entire growth and flowering cycle. I do mix some mycorrhiza, micro nutrients and a light NPK base fertilizer for 2 weeks to the soil mixture. Easiest way to grow organically. I use AutoPots with a watertank (no nuts in the tank).
