Starting this new journey, I decided to germinate 2x Tropicana Cookies Automatic seed from Fast Buds. This strain was recommended to me, and I’m genuinely curious to see how it will turn out!
To begin, I placed both seed in a hydrogen peroxide water solution to oxygenate the water and protect it from pathogens. After 36 hours, the seed cracked open and began to sprout. I transferred it into a coco tab and placed it in the propagation station for three days. During this time, the seedlings grew rapidly and were on the verge of becoming leggy. To address this, I carefully repositioned them slightly deeper into the coco tab to ensure they remained stable.
Afterward, I transplanted the seedlings into a 15L pot filled with a custom soil mix. I used soil from older runs that I had sieved, combined with worm humus and mycorrhiza for healthy microbial activity. To support early-stage growth, I topped the soil with a layer of coco coir for the first week.
Now the real adventure begins, and I’m excited to see how this Tropicana Cookies Auto grows and flourishes!🌱

The first week of vegetation is here, and it’s been a bit of a mixed start for my two plants.🌱
One of them is looking a little droopy, while the other has developed slightly yellow leaves.
I’m not entirely sure what’s causing these issues, but I’ve decided to give both plants their first dose of nutrients to help prevent further damage and hopefully get them back on track.
I’ve been checking on them daily and keeping a close eye on their progress. I’m staying hopeful that they’ll bounce back and show improvement by next week.🌱

It’s now the second week of vegetation, and I’m seeing some mixed progress. One of the plants is finally starting to recover! 🌱
The leaves are looking healthier, and growth is picking up slowly but surely.
Unfortunately, the other plant is still struggling. It hasn’t shown much improvement and remains droopy with little change.
I’m keeping a close eye on it and making small adjustments, hoping it will bounce back soon.
I’ll continue monitoring both daily and see how they progress in the coming days. Fingers crossed for some improvement next week!😊

This week has been a mixed bag for my two plants. #1 is really taking off now, showing strong growth and picking up speed!🌱
It’s looking healthy and vigorous, which is great to see. Towards the end of the week, I also noticed the first signs of flowering—exciting!
Unfortunately, #2 is still struggling.😩
It has barely grown and remains very small compared to #1.
If it doesn’t start making progress soon, I might consider replacing it with another plant.
I’ll give it a little more time, but let’s see how things develop in the next week. Fingers crossed!🤞
