paetel Originally started this grow only with Mephisto seeds, which I dircetly planted into the growing pots (3 gal./12 L) on May 3rd. I also added a small cup of potting soil and mixed it with natural mycorrhiza according to the book "DIY Autoflowering Cannabis" by Jeff Lowenfels. Double Grape germinated after 5 days, Sour Stomper and Orange Diesel after 6 days. The freebie seed 4 Assed Monkey x Toof Decay needed some assistance after 7 days. While reading several growreports with a similar setup I stumbled across a comment about regular feminized seeds which caught my interest and decided to germinate 2 additional Power Plant seeds (paper towel method), which are 7+ years old and were stored in my refrigerator all the time. Germination is still in process. Some additional context: I only grew cannabis (Skunk #1) once before in an indoor setting while it still was illegal in germany and wrote a report on the hanfburg forum. Since 2017 I grow mostly vegetables in a small allotment which is unfortunatley not suited to grow cannabis according to the current german legislation. 😕

paetel I keep them inside at night because temperatures dropped down to ~4° C. During the day they currently get around 4-5 hours of direct sunlight. I still use the UV protection hat because the sun is quite aggressive this year and I want them to slowly adapt to the UV rays. Double Grape got a bit leggy and I added some additional soil to support her. Unfortunately on May 13th I found her bent over under the protective hat, but luckily the stem is still intact and I added even more additional soil for support. On May 12th I started to germinate the 2 additional Power Plant seeds.

paetel Today, May 15th, marks the beginning of Week 2 for the Mephistos. Double Grape is already developing their second pair of leafs. Sour Stomper and Orange Diesel are lagging a bit behind, but nothing to worry about, I guess. The freebie is still struggling to get their head up, but I won't give up on her yet. 😉 To my surprise both Power Plant seeds germinated and I'll transfer them to small pots today.

Top line up 😉 die Mephistos jucken mich auch aber ich kauf nix was nach Teufel klingt 😂 Deine Erde schaut aber ziemlich trocken aus für das Stadium oder täuscht das?

@SheyTailfeather, die obere Schicht sieht schon etwas trocken aus, aber die unteren Schichten haben noch eine gute Feuchtigkeit vom ursprünglichen angießen. Die Double Grape hat gestern Abend aber noch ca. 1 Liter gefiltertes Wasser bekommen.
