Melonade frisch aus dem Vulkan!

Borberad The Lava Melonade Mission! After our previous adventures, this time we're tackling a hopefully delicious strain from a less frequently represented seed bank, about which there isn't much to read online yet: Lava Melonade from Blackfarm Genetiks. We wish you and of course us 😅 an explosion of colors and flavors! With our usual meticulous photo documentation and occasional video insights, we will capture every millimeter of this tropical beauty. Witness how an unassuming seed develops into a plant that has the potential to enchant our senses with the fiery notes of lava and the sweetness of melons. Profile: Blackfarm Genetiks Lava Melonade – The Tropical Eruption * Genetics: The Lava Melonade is a fascinating creation from Blackfarm Genetiks, likely carrying a potent mix of fruity and earthy genes. Its name suggests a combination of intense, perhaps slightly spicy aromas ("Lava") and the refreshing sweetness of melons. One can assume a balanced hybrid genetics that combines both Sativa and Indica traits. * Size: The Lava Melonade is expected to reach a medium to substantial size, allowing it to fully unfold its splendor. Expect heights that are easily manageable indoors, yet still provide room for impressive flower development. * Color: The color palette of the Lava Melonade could become particularly spectacular during the flowering stage. In addition to rich greens, darker, almost reddish or purple accents in the leaves and flower clusters may be expected, reminiscent of glowing lava. The buds are expected to be covered in a dense layer of sparkling trichomes. * Aroma & Terpenes: The name promises an olfactory sensation! Expect an intense, sweet-fruity scent with distinct melon notes, underlined by an exotic, perhaps slightly spicy or earthy component. The terpene profile is likely rich in Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Limonene, contributing to this unique aroma. * Special Features: The Lava Melonade is expected to impress with its extraordinary aromas and high resin production. Its hybrid nature could deliver a balanced effect that is both cerebrally stimulating and physically relaxing. We are curious to see how its "lava" side manifests in growth and effect. Legal Notice (The small but important addition) "As always, the unassailable principle of Borberad applies to our Lava Melonade mission: This grow diary serves solely for the scientific documentation of a private and legal cultivation project in accordance with applicable laws. Any abusive or illegal use of the plants or their products is strictly prohibited." Our roadmap for this mission is already set in stone; we've just optimized the germination a bit. Week 0: * Day 0.1: First, the valuable seed was soaked for about 20 hours in 1% H2O2 at 25°C in the dark – a kind of wellness treatment for future champions. After that, the seed was placed in our substrate, the coconut germination medium – a hole filled with about 100 ml of coconut in a 400 ml pot, surrounded by 300 ml of light mix. * Day 0.2: The first patience phase begins. We are waiting for the seed to break its shell. * Day 0.3/0.4: The first signs of life are visible. The cotyledon pair breaks through the substrate after we observed an initial bulge in the substrate surface. We then increased the DLI from about 12 to 16 to give the seedling enough light. * Day 0.5: We opened the cover to lower the relative humidity to about 80% and increased the light intensity to 20 DLI. * Day 0.6: Everything is under control. The plant shows vigorous growth. * Day 0.7: The light dome was removed. The relative humidity is now dropping to 60–65%, which encourages the plant to develop a strong root system. * Fertilization & Measurements: No fertilizer or water.
