Day -1. Tomorrow i start old seeds, will try to make it . Seeds are 4 years old. Those seeds are from my first sponsored grow by Zamnesia house. Will upload photos with original package. I have grown even 7 years old seeds, so i hope they will make it too. My original package from this event is still in Germany, i live in illegal country, will get it only in May, then i will add photos with wristband and so on ...
Plagron Green Sensation i got from a win in event here, so i will use it 4sure. In other house diary , i will run 2 seeds without it vs 2 seeds with it, just for my own curiosity and research .
This grow is special for me. I normally got everything from Mars Hydro for free, here all equipment is bought, despite that i had same things, but i gave all my equipment away during my time in UK ... New beginning !!!
Will try to blend my own soil, all ingredients are bought from simple Agro shop. It will be mix of garden soils, peat, perlite. I plan to add cheap mycorrhizae too, i just can't afford my standart ingredients, so i will test how good cheap version will work.
Nutrients i plan to use - all i can and have. Will enrich soil with slow release nutes from Ecothrive, during grow will use mainly S&R Organics brand from Germany ( i won a bit of them in events here ) and as extras will be Plagron. Calcium nitrate, mono potassium, wood ash, epsom salt , everything i have - will go in at certain stages .Hope it will work.
Water will be biggest issue, thats summer time house and water is supplied during summers only, so for beginning it will be bottled water from shop, later rain water if i will manage to collect enough. Only during last month i plan to have steady supply of it from tap.
Ecothrive - Neutralise will be used to prevent chlorines, ph will be adjusted too.

Thats the diary i got seeds from. Two still left, hope at least one of them will wake up...
Day 0. Popped seeds. Hopefully at least one from two will wake up. Used seedlings gardening soil from Agro shop. Used half of the bag for 18 seeds, so each pot cost like 5 Euro cents . Used plastic containers from sour cream, so it cost 0. Made like 6-8 holes on the bottom for draining. 100 ml to each pot. Covered with plastic. Still no light, will put it on on day 2. Temps around 20 , humidity 50%, used wet towel to raise it from 30. Cheap way, but always delivers, think tomorrow ill see even 60 , when all room will setup. All vents are closed, no fans yet.
100 ml of 6.5 phed water in
Day 2. Still no life, humidity low. Resoaked towel and hanged back.
50 ml of phed water in.
Lights on ! No timer yet, will keep this week under 24/0, then will switch to 18/6. Mars gave humidity and temps indicator and timer together with light, was pleasantly surprised, when they sent this light for test, there was none. Made DIY humidity dome from frost fleece.
Will be updated very soon !
Happy Growing !!!
Day 13. Huge disaster happened. We had no electricity for 48 hours and most of seedlings died without breaking soil. Root formed but that cold time made them brown and they died .
This girl is struggling too, she has only cotyledons, no other grow happens ... Stagnation, but i hope she will show life, stem is green, maybe she will manage !
Happy Growing !!!
Day 20. If she grew, then its only 1 cm extra. Stem is healthy, but she don't move beyond cotyledons. Waiting ...
I am having realy huge troubles to start up, so i have time, think she will make it !
Changed time to 18/6.
Started extraction fan, honestly was expecting way bigger size from 6 inch fan and filter, first product from Mars, that i feel made too weak vs other brands i tried ...
Happy Growing !!!
@HerbalEdu i tried 7 years old and they made it. I store my seeds in soup thermos, in good hand bag and in stable temperature basement or cupboard, so have hope that at least one will make it ;))) Thanks for good wishes !
@Patricia_Zamnesia, Thank You ! I used leftovers from our first cooperation, so seeds are 4 years old, hopefully some will show life, then I'll join the event and will do few more diaries
;) fingers crossed !!!
