LoganatorDude Sown: 12/9/2025
Germination: 12/11 - 12/14
Official Day 1: 12/14/2025
I am providing custom environmental stimuli to encourage the maximum number of ladies. In favor of early season.
Starting with 10 hour days, will move up to 12 hours gradually over the course of 2 weeks post germ. Then I will continue to increase the day hours to 14 over the next 4 weeks.
Going to focus on lower average day and night temps along with higher levels of humidity to simulate early spring season.
Also going to provide higher levels of nitrogen and lower levels of potassium.
Hopefully I can keep the stress levels as low as possible.
Direct sow into a small bed of vermiculite within a custom potting mix:
1/3 Baby Bu’s Biodynamic Potting Soil
2/3 Royal Gold Coco Fiber.
Amended with 4 TSP/ gallon of Down to Earth’s Bio-Live
1 TSP/ gallon of Langbeinite
1 TSP/ gallon of Texas Green Sand
1 TSP/ gallon of Dolomite Lime
AVERAGE DAY TEMP: 74* F
AVERAGE NIGHT TEMP: 58* F
AVERAGE HUMIDITY: 60% RH
Once germination is complete, I will introduce cooler temperatures at night. I will probably expose the seeds to 30 minutes of 50* F before germination is complete.
I’ve also exposed a heat spike during the “intense middle of day” bringing the temps up to 78-80F for about 1 hour before coming back down to anywhere from 72-75F

LoganatorDude Started with the light up at 8” away, and realized that was too far, so now it’s only 5”.
Day 1 : Sunday, December 14
I’m using a heat mat to help regulate the temperature. Turning it off at night to allow the temperature to drop down below 60*F. Usually it gets down to a low of 58*F.
For most the day, I leave the vent on the left open halfway. That helps to control the temperature around 72-74*F and closing the vent all the way will build it up to 78*F easily. Then if I want it hotter, I can turn up the heat mat. But if I set the heat mat to 74*F, the tent’s average “room temperature” of the air will be about 1-2 degrees hotter, depending time of day and assuming light is on.
Day 2 : Monday, December 15
Rotated the plants, turned them all 180 degrees.
Some are late bloomers, still small and gimpy. But they could also be the best. All in good time. I still haven’t officially distinguished #1 from #2 with each one. But maybe tomorrow I’ll do that.
Not sure if I’ve mentioned this yet. But these are plans for next year’s outdoor grow of 26. So they are indoors ahead of time to be cloned and sexed early. And if there are 2 females, I will let the cuts continue to help determine the more superior lady.

LoganatorDude The temperature and humidity stats provided are a rough average. Right now it’s a little cooler, at only 71°F and 65% RH. At some point during the later part of the day, temp will increase to 78°F and it may dry up to around 50% RH.
Day 8: Sunday 12/21/25
I added 15 minutes to the day cycle, making the night cycle 15 minutes shorter. So the days are 12:15 and the nights are 11:45. Still focusing on early season stimuli to increase my chances of females.
Both Pakrai75 stand only 0.5” tall. The little one is doing a lot better than when it started off. It was barely hanging on, really limp and easy to push over, and slightly chlorotic. But now it’s doing great!
The first Pink Flamingo is doing excellent. The second one, however, has a lighter appearance, with two really goofy leaves. It also has more color on the inside new growth. Both stand approximately 2” tall. The tallest.
Both Romulan x Pakrai75 Indica are doing excellent! They have the biggest leaves so far. Both approximately 1.6” tall.
Triple Tom Hill is standing about 1.75” tall, also doing fantastic.
