Runtz - Eternity Grow Cup 2025

The first week has passed without much fuss but with some new experiences. I have only grown in organic living soil, so when this contest came along, I decided to try the Dark Side to see how their cookies are by leaning fully into bottled nutrients. I decided to go with the Plagron range because why not? I will use Green Sensation anyway, so it made sense to use a unified system. I'll also use an AutoPot for the first time. I've wanted to try one as I need a system that allows me to travel for extended periods. Plus, handwatering is too much of a mission for someone as lazy as I am. As the substrate, I'll use coco, which is another thing I've wanted to try. I mixed the coco with perlite (another first) and some pumice I had lying around to increase aeration. Normally, I transplant the plug into a pot as soon as I see germination, but I've been so busy lately that I took a few days. I transplanted her into a one-liter pot, adding mycorrhiza to both the pot and to the plug. I have NO CLUE if myco is even helpful in a synthetic grow, but I didn't feel like googling it, so I just added it anyway. (Did I mention that I'm lazy?) I kept a humidity dome (fancy talk for a clear plastic cup) over her for a couple of days before putting my tiny humidifier in the tent. It is ridiculously small but gets the job done, considering how small the tent is. It has a timer, so I must remember to turn it on now and then. It’s a bit wonky, but whatever.
