SidekickGrowie Before the seeds go into the soil, I first let them pre-germinate between damp cotton pads. For this, I take two cotton pads, lightly moisten them (they should be damp but not dripping wet), place the seed in between, and pack the whole thing into a sticker bag.
I label the bags with the respective strain and possibly additional info like "Fast" or "Auto." Then, I store the little bags in a warm, dark place (about 22–24 °C). Usually, the first roots appear after just 1 to 2 days.

SidekickGrowie Day 0:
As soon as the roots are long enough, the little seedlings go into red Solo cups filled with loose seedling soil. To keep the humidity high in the first few days, I place a small cover on top of each cup – in my case, cut seedling pots that work great as mini-greenhouses.
Day 1:
In the next few days, I make sure that the humidity is generally a bit higher (~70-75%). Just like during germination, the temperature should be a bit higher at the beginning, but not too high (22-24 degrees).
Light intensity: 200 PPFD
Day 5:
Since I’m watering with distilled water, I added CalMg for the first time today. I followed Athena's schedule. Let’s see how the plants look in the next few days.
Additionally, I watered with nematodes today, which is why I also skipped Root Juice this time.
Light intensity: 250-300 PPFD

- During this time, the plant has grown quite a bit in cm. I think I can transplant in the next few days.
Day 14:
- Transplanted into 11 liters and watered for the first time with Grow A+B
- I'm using the 11-liter fabric pots from AC Infinity for the first time in this grow.
- Watered the soil well so the plant can manage a few days without me.
- I don't have to fill the humidifier as often right now since the humidity is generally high.

- The plant has survived and exploded. I really need to water tomorrow, the soil is already very dry.
Day 19:
- Removed the lower leaves and watered with 1.5 liters.
- Bend the fan leaves down daily so that the lower shoots get light and are at the same height after a while.
- Let the plant grow.
- I set the controller to a VPD value of 0.8.
- Since all devices run through the controller, the system adjusts everything automatically.

SidekickGrowie Tag 29 :
- Week 5 has begun and the shoots are almost at the same height without any training.
- Now it's clear that topping was done at the right time.
On the last day, the other plants moved outside, so the plant now has significantly more space.

SidekickGrowie Day 57 (21st Flowering Day):
- 3rd defoliation, and with that, the complete one.
I do the whole thing in 3 steps because the plant has a lot of leaf mass. If I take everything away at once now, it will stress her out.
Day 59:
- Watered with 3.5 liters of nutrient mix (1.3 EC 6.4 pH)
Day 61:
- Watered with 3 liters of nutrient mix (1.4 EC 6.3 pH)
Day 63:
- Watered with 3.5 liters of nutrient mix (1.3 EC 6.2 pH)
