CountDoobie . 07/12/2025 The seeds got planted today. First, the 11L (3gal) fabric pots are filled with BioBizz Lightmix. Because of the lack of definitive information about this, I have estimated that this soil has approximately 10% perlite in it. Therefore, I have added an extra 5% perlite and 10% vermiculite. After adding all substrates together, it is poured over in a large bucket with lid and tumbled to mix everything. When mixed, I added 50gr Biotabs Startrex and tumbled it some more until everything was thoroughly mixed. After which it is put back in the fabric pot. This process is repeated for all 3 pots separately. Back in the pots all three received 1L of a Bactrex (1gr/L) and Orgatrex (10ml/L) solution. After watering with the solution, the soil compacted a little, so I added ~3 hands of Lightmix to the top and mixed it a bit with the top layer. After waiting a few hours to let everything set, I have added 2 Biotabs fertiliser tablets, on opposing sides, to each pot. A hole, of ~10cm wide and ~5cm deep, is made in the middle and 4gr of Mycotrex is sprinkled in. After which the hole was carefully closed again. A new smaller hole (~1cm diameter) is made in the middle in which the remaining 1gr Mycotrex was sprinkled and the Royal Critical auto seed is planted. A little bit of soil is carefully put over the seed, sprayed moist and a clear cup put over it. The third pot went through the exact same process but, due to not having enough Mycotrex, RQS easy roots Mycorrhiza was used with the same quantities. 2 out of 4 lamps are turned on, on a 24h schedule at a height of ~90cm. The extraction fan and oscillating fan are turned off for now. 08/12/2025 All three pots received a thermal pad (5W) under them at 50% power. Each pot received a few sprays of water on the seed location, to keep the soil moist. 10/12/2025 Sprayed the top layer of each pot with water until moist. Plant #1 and #2 are showing fungal filaments on the top soil under the cup, indicating that the Mycotrex successfully inoculated. Carefully removed a bit of soil, to check if the seeds have germinated (I'm impatient). All three seeds appear to have germinated successfully. Although seed #1 and #2 appear to be a bit to deep in the soil. Unfortunately, I can't fix it any more since they both have taken root. After I was done, I carefully, and loosely, put a bit of soil back on top of the seeds. 11/12/2025 Plant #3 officially sprouted today. The seed shell and membrane was still on the plant, so I helped it out carefully with a rounded tweezer. It appears that I have put too much soil back on top of seed #1 and #2. Because of this the plants appear to have trouble finding the top and are growing downwards a little. To help them out a bit I have removed most of the soil that was on top to let the light penetrate a bit better. This way the plants have a guiding star to find their way out. 12/12/2025 #3 is looking very healthy and appears to have had a great start. Sprayed it with a bit of water and made sure no big droplets formed. #1 and #2 are slowly making their way out of the soil. 13/12/2025 #1 and #2 have finally sprouted. Both still had their seed shell and membrane still on, so I helped them out a little. #3 is looking very healthy and growing happily. 14/12/2025 #1 and #2 are recovering well and both look healthy. #3 is growing nicely and is almost 5cm tall.
