SidekickGrowie I germinate my seeds quite simply with damp cotton pads in sticker bags. Here's how I do it:
1️⃣ Lightly moisten two cotton pads with water (not soaking wet).
2️⃣ Place the seed in between.
3️⃣ Put the whole thing in a small sticker bag and seal it.
4️⃣ I label the bags with the strain & any properties (e.g., “Fast”, “Auto”, “Feminized”).
5️⃣ Then, the bags go to a warm, dark place (e.g., in a box or a container at about 22–24 °C).
6️⃣ 1-2 days later, the seed has germinated and goes into its pot (0.5 liters).
7️⃣ Put a cover on to keep the humidity up (75-80%, then slowly down to 70%).

Day 14:
- This week, we gave Grow A+B for the first time.
- The plant is growing and growing, leaf color gets darker day by day.
- By the end of the week, I repotted the plant.
- I prepare the soil 4-5 days in advance so that the water retention of the soil is a bit better.
- Since I will be away for a few days soon, I really soaked the soil well in the first few days.

SidekickGrowie Day 17:
- I'm back from the fair and I'm really curious to see how the ladies look.
- The plant has gained a lot of height. The shoots in the lower area are starting to stretch upwards.
- The soil was just about okay, so I can't stay away for another day.
Day 18:
- Watered the soil again, cleaned the humidifier, and refilled it.
Day 21:
- Today I'm going to top them, so I'm trying to bend the fan leaves down day by day so that the lower shoots get some light.

SidekickGrowie Day 22-Day 27:
- The plant is watered with 1.5 liters as needed, which usually lasts for 4-5 days until I need to water again.
- Some of the fan leaves broke off while bending, so I was able to save a bit of training for now.
- The shoots in the lower area have also reached the top, so I can soon start with the LST.
Day 28:
- All the shoots are almost at the same height, so I can now start with the LST.

This morning I noticed that I have a small infestation of leaf miners..
To explain:
"The damage is usually limited to a reduction in ornamental value. With recurring heavy infestations, it can lead to growth depression."

Tag 77 :
- bud broke off while shaking
- checked trichomes
She suffered quite a bit in the end due to the caterpillars. The drying process was also not so optimal as the temperatures were too high. Due to the dry days, there was only a humidity of 45%, so the buds were ready within 3-4 days.

SidekickGrowie Overall, I'm very satisfied with the grow. It's the first successful (without mold) outdoor harvest. For just a side project, it turned out really well! I'm already looking forward to next year!
