Stoney_Stark Spearmint Rhino (Exotic Genetix) Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Strain: Spearmint Rhino Breeder: Exotic Genetix Medium (starting): Rapid Rooter Tent (final): 32” × 32” × 63” Stage: Germination ⸻ 12/12 — Germination Day Germination Method The seed was placed into a glass of water for 12 hours to initiate hydration and activate the embryo. After soaking, a Rapid Rooter was prepared by soaking it briefly in tap water amended with Recharge to inoculate the medium with beneficial microbes. Once the Rapid Rooter was properly saturated, the seed was carefully placed into the plug and set into a planter tray. ⸻ Light & Environment • Light: Extremely low-intensity light • Purpose: Prevent stretch while avoiding stress during early emergence • Housing Plan: Seedling will remain in the tray until the 32” × 32” × 63” tent becomes available Low light levels are being used to encourage natural root development before active vegetative growth begins.

Stoney_Stark Week 1 Update — Spearmint Rhino & Jixer Genetics: Exotic Genetix Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Tent: Vivosun 32” × 32” × 63” Medium: Kaya Coir Containers: 3-gallon fabric pots Nutrients: New Millennium line Watering: Hand-watering until roots establish, then transitioning to bottom wicking bases Light: HLG 225 Diablo X Light Intensity: 250 PPFD ⸻ Environment & Light • Temperature: 77°F (day/night stabilized with heater) • Relative Humidity: 73–75% • VPD: ~0.7–0.8 kPa (ideal for early seedling/establishment) • Humidity dome removed on Day 2 • Light height and intensity kept conservative to promote root development before top growth ⸻ Nutrient Breakdown (What Each Product Does) • Silicium – Strengthens cell walls, improves stress tolerance, and supports early structural development • Equinox – Calcium and micronutrient support for cell division and healthy new growth in coir • Spring Green – Nitrogen and micronutrient base feed to drive early vegetative growth • Ruby Fulvic – Improves nutrient chelation and uptake, increases root efficiency • Car-Bou-Naria – Carbon source that fuels microbial activity and root metabolism • Lightning Start – Root stimulant that promotes rapid root initiation and expansion • Rhyzium – Mycorrhizae and beneficial microbes to enhance root surface area • Fish Sh!t – Microbial inoculant that boosts nutrient cycling and root health • Pure Zym – Enzymes that break down dead root matter and keep the root zone clean • Photo+ – Amino acids and biostimulants that support photosynthesis and stress recovery • Recharge – Microbial and molasses-based root zone booster for long-term soil biology ⸻ Feedings & Events 12/14 — Day 1 (Transplant Day) Moved Spearmint Rhino into a 3-gallon fabric pot with Kaya Coir. Lightly sprayed the top and around the seedling to moisten the surface and reduce transplant shock. (Amounts listed per gallon; only ¼ gallon used) • pH: 5.7 • PPM: 870 Feed: • 0.5 ml Silicium • 3 ml Equinox • 9 ml Spring Green • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 5 ml Car-Bou-Naria • 3 ml Lightning Start • 1 ml Rhyzium ⸻ 12/15 — Environmental Adjustment • Humidity stabilized at 75% • Temperature stabilized at 75°F • Humidity dome removed to begin acclimation ⸻ 12/16 — Early Establishment Feed Top-fed ¼ gallon RO water. • pH: 6.0 • PPM: 475 • Environment: 250 PPFD, 75.8°F, 73.6% RH, 0.8 kPa Feed: • 0.5 ml Silicium • 3 ml Equinox • 9 ml Spring Green • 5 ml Car-Bou-Naria • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 3 ml Lightning Start • 1 ml Rhyzium • 4 ml Fish Sh!t ⸻ 12/17 — Jixer Transplant Jixer seedling moved from paper towel directly into a 3-gallon fabric pot with Kaya Coir and placed into the 32” × 32” tent alongside Spearmint Rhino. Medium was pre-moistened with ½ gallon RO water containing: • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 4 ml Pure Zym • 6 ml Photo+ • ⅛ tsp Recharge • 4 ml Fish Sh!t This mix was used to inoculate the medium and establish a biologically active root zone from day one. ⸻ 12/18 — Both Plants Fed Each plant received ¼ gallon. • pH: 5.9 • PPM: 577 Feed: • 0.5 ml Silicium • 3 ml Equinox • 9 ml Spring Green • 5 ml Car-Bou-Naria • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 3 ml Lightning Start • 4 ml Pure Zym • 1 ml Rhyzium • 4 ml Fish Sh!t ⸻ 12/20 — Establishment Push Both plants received ¼ gallon. • pH: 6.0 • PPM: 800 Feed: • 0.5 ml Silicium • 3 ml Equinox • 9 ml Spring Green • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 5 ml Car-Bou-Naria • 3 ml Lightning Start • 1 ml Rhyzium • 6 ml Photo+ • ⅛ tsp Recharge ⸻ Overall Observations Both plants are responding well to the controlled PPFD, elevated humidity, and biologically driven feed strategy. No signs of stress, deficiency, or overwatering. Focus remains on root establishment and microbial colonization before increasing light intensity or transitioning to bottom wicking bases.
