Qutro What’s up fam,
Much love to all the grow homies out there. Welcome to the revamped garden. This time we’re putting on the baker’s hat, trying to perfect a true classic – the Blueberry Cupcake.
Here’s the kit we’re rolling with:
Mars Hydro FC 4800 Samsung LM301H EVO 480W LED Grow Light + New iControl Smart Controller
Mars Hydro 5 Gallon Grow Bag
2025 Mars Hydro iFresh 6" (150mm) Inline Duct Fan and Refillable Carbon Filter Combo
Mars Hydro M6 Grow Tent Clip Fan 6 Inch Auto-Oscillating Fan
Air intake fan 4”
PAR meter, soil temp and PH meter.
Let’s take a look at everything that happened this week:
We kicked off the sprouting the tried and true way soaking the seeds for 24 hours to soften up the shells. Next, we used the propagator dome with the same heat mat from the shroom grow kit, keeping the dome steady at 21 °C. Since I started running it this way, germination rates have been solid – 95 to 100%.🧑🌾
After that, the seeds went straight into Root Riot cubes.
By day three, two little ones had already popped, and another one showed up two days later.
This time I placed them directly into 3-liter pots, hoping that’s a solid choice to build a strong root foundation. At transplant, we dusted the Plagron Light Mix with some mycorrhiza, and for the first watering we mixed in Root Juice and a splash of fulvic acid into pH-6.4 water.💦
To keep the little ones from being lonely, they’ll have company in the kitchen – a Persian Pie from GHS bringing the total to five plants for this fall/winter run.
After a great summer, I couldn’t wish for a better way to spend my time than diving back into our favorite hobby.🌞🌱
Wishing all the best to everyone – see you next week. Peace ✌️

Qutro Here we are with the first weekly update, growmies! What’s good?
Obviously, the first weeks don’t bring too much eye candy, so I’ll keep it short. The main focus is on root development, and we’re keeping the watering light since proper oxygen supply is key – so we let the medium almost fully dry out before watering again. That came out to about 0.1L every other day. Other than a bit of Root Juice and some fulvic acid, they didn’t get anything else. Temps during lights off were sitting on the lower side (around 19°C), but I don’t think the little ones mind too much.
It looks like all three have made it through the first week successfully, so from 3 seeds we’ll end up with the 3 plants we were aiming for just as planned.
See you soon! 😎
Gratuliere zur Wahl der Genetik. Wahre Terp Maschine und ein heavy Hitter mit großartigem smoke. Jetzt kommt das Aber. Die Bl. Cupcake sind heftige stretcher und schießt fast 3 volle Woche in die höhe. Ich würde die unbedingt ein scrog Netz raten und eher 2 x Topping aber mindestens 1x + heavy Training. Auch die veg werde ich beim nächsten mal auf max. 5 Wochen reduzieren. Sie wird die stressige Arbeit aber belohnen. Viel Glück Growmie.
@Stony_German, Thanks for dropping by, buddy. Yes, I’m prepared for the stretch. I’ve read in several places – I think even in your journal – that this can happen. It’s going to be a bit tricky since I’m growing another strain in the same tent, so keeping them at the same height will be a challenge. But that’s the beauty of this hobby, isn’t it? If there’s anything else you’d like to share with me, I’d really appreciate it. In fact, please let me know if anything else comes to mind.
Growers love buddy!😎🌱
