• Nighttime/lights off: ~20°C
Humidity: constant 80% during germination phase
🔧 Technique & Growing Style
Approach: Minimal effort, maximum yield
Planned technique: LST (Low Stress Training) during veg stage
Special note: The goal is to grow with minimal resources and effort, while still achieving great results.
🤓 Background & Goals
This is my fourth grow, but each run has used different setups.
For this round, I’m focusing on a CBD strain, with a simple and efficient approach – layered substrate, basic LED, and minimal nutrients.
📌 Week 0 Summary
The Auto Alpine Delight CBD was planted today into her 12L home.
The tent is fully set up, climate and light are dialed in – now it’s all about patience and observation.
I’m curious to see how she does in the coming days.

BastoBee This week marked the beginning of an exciting journey!
The Auto Alpine Delight CBD broke through the surface on April 23rd, showing two healthy, vibrant green cotyledons. Only a few days later, the first serrated true leaves started to develop nicely. Growth appeared strong and compact from the start, with no signs of stretching or weakness. Under the microscope, early trichome formation and a solid structure could already be seen – a promising beginning!
The stem looks firm and sturdy, with a slight purple hue that's likely genetic and not a cause for concern. The environment has remained stable all week: temperatures around 22–24 °C during lights on, 20 °C during lights off, and a constant 60 % humidity – providing ideal conditions for the early vegetative stage. The soil remained sufficiently moist from the initial watering with pH 6.4 water and Root Juice, so no additional watering was needed during this first week.
On April 29th, the seedling officially transitioned into the vegetative stage. Both cotyledons are fully developed, and the first true leaf pair is cleanly formed. The little Alpine Delight is standing firmly in the substrate, showing strong color, healthy vigor, and no signs of stress or deficiency.
Overall, a very successful first week!
The goal for the coming days is to continue providing a stable environment, avoid overwatering, and observe the seedling closely as it begins to accelerate its growth. If she keeps developing like this, early LST might be possible in about 7–10 days.
