Highnstein Day 1 – 05.05.2025 / 21:20 – Planted
Yesterday, my MarsHydro tent and equipment finally arrived. Around 9:30 PM, I planted the Papaya Cookies seeds directly into the BioBizz Light Mix soil. I might have overwatered a bit — I poured about 1.3L of water into each pot, which could slow down germination.
After planting, I covered the soil with clear plastic cups to maintain humidity. I sprayed the inside of the cups with water to help keep moisture levels up. The grow light is currently set to 25% power.
This is my first grow ever, so I'm hoping for the best. If anyone reading this has tips or advice, I'm all ears!
Day 2 – 06.05.2025 / 7:00 – Humidity at 99%, temperature 24°C
(Turned on ventilation)
Day 3 – 07.05.2025 / 17:57 – Humidity 85%, temperature 25°C – No signs of sprouting yet
Day 4 – 08.05.2025 / 19:05 – The smallest one in the bottom left has sprouted and is already above soil. In the big pot next to it, the seed is visible at the surface but hasn’t emerged yet. The other two show no signs yet.
Humidity lowered to 60–70%
Temperature 25°C
Day 5 – 09.05.2025 / 7:00 – Three have sprouted. The smallest one is holding up well, the stem has grown a bit. The one on the right has come out but still has the seed shell on its head (I'll check when I get home, maybe remove it manually?). The third one at the top has come out and looks healthy.
Temperature: 24.6°C
Humidity: 60%
// 17:00 – Increased light intensity, humidity back to 70%
Day 6 – 10.05.2025 / 10:40 – All four have sprouted. Two still have their seed shells (I removed one manually). Soil feels a bit dry, I’ll add about 150ml of water around each. I’ll transplant the smallest one into a big pot and add soil. Lowered humidity from 80% to about 60% (waiting to see where it stabilizes - looking for 70%). Dropped the light lower and increased to 40% power.
Day 7 - 11/05/2025 / 10:00
Temperature dropped to 21°C, 50% humidity. Reduced fan speed — hoping things improve by the afternoon. All plants look fine.

Highnstein Day 8 - 12/05/2025 / 7:00
Temperature 26°C, humidity 80% (trying to reduce it to 70%).
They look healthy and are growing. One still has the seed shell on — tried removing it with tweezers but didn’t work. Will try again when I get home.
21:05 – Humidity 70%, temp 27°C. Increased light intensity to 75% and turned on the fan to bring humidity down to 60%. Will check in the morning.
All look healthy, no need to water.
Day 9 - 13/05/2025 / 7:10
Everything looks healthy and bigger. Temp 26°C, humidity 53%. Soil felt dry, so I watered. (Humidity will hopefully rise back to 60%)
20:00 – Lowered the light height, kept intensity at 75%. No need to water. Humidity jumped to 70%, turned the fan back on to lower it to desired 60%.
Day 10 - 14/05/2025 / 7:00
Everything looked okay, maybe a little dry — will water after work. Temp 26°C, humidity 54%.
By evening, humidity increased to 70% and temp to 27°C.
Day 11 - 15/05/2025 / 7:00
All looks okay. Two plants are slightly bent — lowered the light even more. Humidity 70%, temp 27°C.
In the evening, one was leaning over — supported it with two sticks and it’s upright again. Moved the fan higher so it blows across all the plants.
Day 12 - 16/05/2025 / 7:00
Everything looks good. Temp and humidity are spot on.
19:20 – Looked a bit dry, so I increased the watering dose. The drooping one drooped again, added support again.
Leaves look wavy? Not sure why.
Day 13 - 17/05/2025
All good. Watered two, the other two were still moist.
Day 14 - 18/05/2025
Nothing unusual. Watered all four. Will check again in the evening. Growing faster every day.
21:00 - All good. Stable temperature and humidity.

Highnstein This week showed strong growth across all four plants. I began feeding with BioBizz Grow early in the week, and by the end, introduced Bloom and Top Max as well. Watering was done as needed — typically around 0.5 to 1 liter per plant — alternating between plain water and nutrient mixes. I also started low stress training (LST) on all plants, and they responded well.
Humidity was the main issue throughout the week, often reaching 70%. I increased exhaust fan speed, aired out the grow tent, and placed a dehumidifier outside the tent to manage it. While this helped temporarily, humidity levels remain a challenge. Temperature stayed in a good range, and light intensity was increased to 100% with the fixture lowered closer to the canopy by the end of the week.
Overall, the plants are looking healthy and strong, with steady progress despite the ongoing battle with high humidity.

Highnstein The plants continued to grow well and appear healthy overall. This week, I switched the light cycle to 18/6, and growth remained steady across most plants — although one smaller plant is still lagging, likely due to being in different soil. Watering was done regularly, with each plant receiving between 1 and 1.5 liters, alternating between plain water and nutrient mixes (1,5 ml of each BioBizz nutrient per liter on Day 26).
Humidity remained a consistent issue, often spiking to 67–70%. I managed it by increasing exhaust fan speed, opening the window, and using the dehumidifier more aggressively, including overnight. By the end of the week, humidity levels improved, dropping to 55–60%, with temperatures stable around 24–27°C.
Overall, the grow tent environment is becoming more balanced, and the plants are responding positively to the care and adjustments.

Highnstein The plants are progressing well and showing steady, healthy growth. Environmental conditions have improved this week — humidity has stayed consistently lower, ranging from 45% to 52%, and temperature has been maintained between 26°C and 28.7°C, with some effort to bring it down closer to 26°C for optimal conditions.
Watering was done every few days, typically 1.5 liters per plant, and nutrient feeding was included on Days 30 and 34. The plants appear to be responding positively, with no visible issues. Overall, this week marked a stable phase in the grow, with balanced conditions and healthy development.

Highnstein Week 5 Summary (02.06. – 08.06.2025)
This week everything's been cruising along nicely. Temps stayed mostly around 28°C, but I tried to drop it down to 26°C a couple of times to keep the girls happy. Humidity hovered around 45–52%, all good.
I fed and watered a few times — usually around 1.5L per plant, but towards the end of the week I bumped it up to 2L since one plant showed slightly droopy leaves (probably a sign she was thirsty). Did some light defoliation too, trimmed off a few yellowing leaves to keep things clean and improve airflow.
Overall, growth is looking strong, leaves are reaching for the light, and everything is on track. No major issues, just keeping an eye on them daily and making small adjustments. Happy plants, happy grower!

Highnstein Week 6 Summary (09.06. – 15.06.2025)
This week everything kept going strong. Plants are healthy and looking great overall. Around mid-week, one of them stretched noticeably — I’ll need to measure later, but she’s definitely reaching up nicely. A few yellow leaves here and there, but nothing serious.
Fed them a couple of times, with around 2L per plant when needed. Soil stayed moist most of the week, so watering was spaced out. By the end of the week, I also gave them a feed with nutrients.
Trichomes are really starting to pop now, I’m seeing a lot of crystals, and some stems under the leaves have turned a nice purple shade — looking beautiful!
Biggest challenge this week has been the heat. Temps are holding steady around 30°C and I can’t seem to bring them down. Gotta keep an eye on that to avoid any stress.
Overall, the girls are happy and thriving. Just need to sort out the temperature and keep the good vibes going!

Highnstein This week was all about battling the heat. Temps were stuck around 30°C, basically turning the whole grow space into a sauna. When the lights went off, temps dropped a bit (down to around 28°C, 51% RH), but still higher than ideal.
Watering was pretty frequent since the soil was drying out fast. Gave them 2.5L each on some days (the smaller one only got 1.5L). Also did a nutrient feed mid-week to keep them happy.
Plants are still looking strong overall, but some yellowing leaves started to show up — nothing unexpected at this stage. I trimmed them off to keep things tidy.
Towards the end of the week, the smell started getting real intense, which is a good sign that they’re stacking up nicely. Despite the heat stress, they’re still pushing forward, and the buds are swelling.
Overall, the girls are holding up well, but I’ll need to keep an eye on that yellowing and the high temps going forward. Smelling dank already!

Highnstein Week 8 Summary (23.06. – 29.06.2025)
Big milestone week — last nutrient feed went in at the start of the week, and now it’s all about flushing with plain water before harvest. Can’t wait!
The leaves have been yellowing more, which is totally expected at this stage since they’re using up the last stored nutrients. Buds, though, are looking absolutely fire — super frosty and stacking nicely. Funny enough, the smallest plant is still completely green, holding out strong.
Temps are still a headache, staying too high and putting some stress on the top leaves. You can really see the heat damage, but overall, buds stayed healthy and unaffected.
Watering continued throughout the week (around 1.5–2L per plant depending on the day). Smell is getting intense — the whole room is reeking in the best possible way.
By the end of the week, everything is looking almost ready, aside from the leaf color caused by heat. Buds are dense, trichomes look great, and the aroma is on point.
Almost there… harvest time is just around the corner!

Highnstein This week marked the final stage of the grow. Most trichomes had turned milky, signaling that harvest time was near. I began preparing the drying space and did some defoliation by removing yellow and dried leaves. Watering continued with 1.5 liters per plant, while I closely monitored trichome development, waiting for a few amber ones to appear.
On Day 61, I turned off the lights for the final dark period, and on Day 62, the harvest took place. I trimmed the sugar leaves and turned them into 100g of cannabutter, while the remaining buds are now drying. The plants finished strong and healthy, wrapping up a successful grow.

Best of luck on your journey to frosty goodness. Getting the seeds to germinate has been one my bigger challenges; Kudos to you! Growing the same strain using BioTabs and soil for the first time. Hoping to me more sucessful and less time consuming then coco.

@NamasteDaze, Thanks a lot! Yeah, getting them to pop can be a pain — glad it worked out this time 😄
Sounds like you're on a chill setup with BioTabs and soil, way less fuss than coco for sure. Hope everything goes smooth and frosty for you too! Let’s both crush it this run ✌️🌿
