SleepyChow NEW SEED DROP from Khalifa Genetics!
Cross of two Landraces🔥
My first non Polyhybrid🔥
No Lowryder Heritage😯
First a quick Strain Presentation:
❄️ Lebanese Snow Auto ❄️
→Breeder: Khalifa Genetics
→Heritage: Lebanese Hashplant x Siberian Ruderalis
→Harvest: in 12/13 weeks ≈ 84+ (on 18/6 schedule.faster on 12/12)
→Smell: tangerine/orange, fruity,sweet,sour
→Genetics: Lebanese Snow is CBD dominant and shows Sativa Characteristics as well as Indica Characteristics, combined in a autoflowering cultivar thanks to its ruderalis heritage.
I contacted Khalifa on Instagram for some Information and Aladdin himself answered quickly. The Lebanese Snow has sativa-ish Leaves but grows really bushy like an indica. According to mandalaseeds,its a very hardy cultivar. I asked Aladdin for permission to top her and he said yes😬 I’ll first see how she develops during the first two weeks and then decide.
#Lebanese Hashplant:
A legendary Landrace, known for its Blonde and Red Hash. According to ACE Seeds its vigorous and well branched pure Sativa adapted for hot and arid climate.Very resistant against drought and high temperatures. It is fast flowering (9-11 weeks[other sources claim it needs 11 to 13 weeks.]) for a sativa cause of its semi-autoflowering tendicies(like the maroccan Beldia).Its smell is floral and fruity with hints of citrus and mango. its effect is cheerfull,smooth and clear.
#Siberian Ruderalis:
The origin of the autoflower traits💪🏼
This plant is a giant,frecking hardy and vigorous cultivar with good trichom production.Its cultivated from the villagers of Lake Chebarkul
and is the result of a past hybridisation of a kasakhztan landrace and a local Ruderal variety. It has a pungent citrus smell and mild psychoactive effects.
Hi Folks 👋🏼
Long time no see😂
You know how it is, guys. I just can’t help myself.😅
Shortly after the last grow, my fingers start itching again.
Just like last time, I’ve already prepared my soil and put the pots outside. I brewed a nice, light compost tea and poured the tea into the pots. For this auto run, I really don’t want to stress the plants with strong teas. That’s why there will only be three compost teas in total during the entire run, and all of them will be fairly mild. I’ll write down the exact recipe next time.
Of course, I’m reusing my old soil, which has been mulched with leftover plant material and branches from the previous grow.
For the start, I’ve prepared some jiffies. The seed will be placed in there, put into a propagation box, and kept warm with a heat mat set to 24°C. At the same time, I’ll already be running the light. One big advantage of jiffies is that the seeds can be buried quite deep — they’re dark. Cannabis seeds are dark germinators, and with jiffies, this works perfectly fine even with the light on.
In past grows, I often had the problem that I didn’t turn the light on early enough and only noticed too late that my seeds had already germinated. Because of that, they immediately started stretching. It wasn’t a huge issue - I just buried the jiffies a bit deeper - but this time I want to see if I can prevent it right from the start.
So,long story short,im very excited 😁
See you growmies

Day 1
Lotta aka Lebanese Snow has seen the light of day today👶🏼😬
Well, at least the light of a 200-watt LED lamp. She’s still small and fresh. My strategy of keeping the light on during germination in the jiffies paid off. Over the next few days, she’ll be transplanted into the big pot, which has been mulched with old plant material, watered with a light compost tea, and inoculated with about five tablespoons of worm castings.
AACT recipe (5l):
-5 tbsp worm castings
-1tsp malted barley
-1tsp molasses

Day 2
Today I decided it was finally time to pot up and transplant the girls. I inspected the pots beforehand. Fungal life is definitely present, and arthropods are still around as well. However, there was some fungal mycelium I wasn’t entirely sure about in terms of its physiological state. Any mycelium that showed blue discoloration was removed immediately, along with the material displaying those color changes.
I watered the pots once more beforehand and installed the Blumat system. At the bottom of the Jiffies and directly into the planting holes, I sprinkled mycorrhizal and Trichoderma spores, using the Hubey mycorrhiza spreader😬

SleepyChow Hi folks 👋🏼
The Lebanese Snow is 6 days old today and, as expected, she’s doing well. She’s developing normally, looks vital and handled the transplant into the big pot without any big issues💪🏼
Two days after planting, I watered her with 333 ml of water in a radius of about 12 cm around the stem. The water was mixed with Root·Juice (stock solution: 1 liter of dechlorinated water with 4 ml Root·Juice) to give root development a little kickstart and help Rita settle into her new home. Root·Juice contains algae extracts and humic acids (plus small amounts of calcium, magnesium and iron), which are very beneficial for that purpose😬
Since I was a bit concerned that 4 ml (the upper limit according to the BioBizz schedule) might be a bit much for autos, I followed up three days later with another 333 ml of plain dechlorinated water. Lotta shows no signs of stress or problems and continues to grow strong and physiologically.
I’ve also increased the light intensity to 60%. Spider Farmer recommends around 75% at this stage, but I usually do better with a gentler increase in light strength.Nevertheless after that,she was a bit pale for a day. But the next day she was already shining in a darker and healthy green tone again.
Today I applied another 333 ml of a solution containing roughly 1.5 million nematodes per liter of water and also distributed predatory mites on the soil surface. I had already spotted a few predatory mites in my pots over the last days, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to reinforce them. These mites basically establish themselves in the soil and can live there for generations as long as there’s enough food available. Truly awesome beneficial insects🙏🏼
I have to admit, my fingers are itching already - I’m really looking forward to the moment when I can start bending and shaping Lotta a bit
See u 👍🏼

Hi Folks and welcome to our Bondage andventure😁 Lotta seems to be stressed and is a little slim and delicate.She developes normally,she got 3+ nodes allready,as she should.There are some options why shes stressed.Maybe the low rH of the past days,maybe shes not happy with her soil🤷🏼♂️ What is noticeable,however,is that she dont like it when i raise the intensity of the LED light.Maybe shes a little sensitive,maybe she dont like artificial light at all😅 dont forget,shes a landrace cross,her ancestors never heard of LED.it is also possible,that the soil is to wet for her,so i set the Blumat lower.the first 4 leaves seems a bit weak.nevertheless i trained her stem a little.On Day 11 i bent her to the right side, towards the edge of her pot.Next day i let her stretch out and since Yesterday,day 13,shes been bent to the left side, towards the middle of the pot.i decided to just Lst her.Im not very confident with only this training method,i like topping and mainlining way more.But u know,i dont know this strain,so yea🤷🏼♂️
There are some ways to control the height of ur Autoflower and break the apical dominance to help the side branches to develope:
- LST +Scrog
-early Topping (yea,also autoflowers)
-early Mainlining (Bernie from Fast Buds does this regularly. Basementganja does this also sometimes.The great Mr.Canuck himself says this is possible',but hes more a fan of Lst,he assures that this cause more yield)
-clever defoliation of the top branch ( basementganja method)
-clever use of light intensity and distance to the lamp
The past days i got some problems to held the rH on 60%,most time it was below.i used a wet towel to raise the rH,it helped but not as much as needed. I poured 667ml Water with 1/3 tbsp EMs on the mulch to boost its decomposting process a litte,it also raised short term the rH. I also sowed new cover crop seeds (little helper seeds by almicanna). They benefit the microbiom of the soil through their exudates and protect the athropods,bacteria etc from light and drought. They also raise the rF,as soon as they are developed. But the gamechanger in this drama was,like in my last grow, the fan😅😂 I turned the fan on earlier than planned, but this led to a rapid increase in humidity from 53% to 68%🎉
I also raised light intensity up to 75% on Day 10.Afte that she needed a day to recover from it again😅Today her leaves are back in a powerfull green tone💪🏼
Fingers crossed she bounces back well from her early struggles and really shows what she’s capable of in flower🙏🏼
See u next week growmies 👍🏼
@SpliffyRand, läuft schon parallel theoretisch. Praktisch ist noch kaum was aus dem Eimer raus.die Mädels sind noch klein und trinken nicht viel und auf covercrop hab ich vorerst verzichtet. ich hab ein wenig um die Mädels drum rum gegossen damit das anwurzeln leichter ist und den Mulch befeuchtet damit der schneller kompostiert,hatte zudem die Zeltwanne relativ am anfang mit wasser begossen damit die Töpfe sich von unten vollziehen,sodass die erde erstmal saturiert ist und die Wahrscheinlichkeit von nem Trockenspot in der Erde geringer ist.hat keine 5 Minuten gebraucht und das Wasser war eingezogen. Langsam findet endlich etwas mehr Photosynthese, Gasaustausch und Verdunstung statt🙏🏼 konnte mit fruchten Handtüchern die Luftfeuchtigkeit gerade so noch auf 60% halten. der fehlenden covercrop macht n deutlichen Unterschied.Dieser Grow ist ursprünglich echt nur als ein Zwischengrow gedacht.Quasi eine Zwischenfrucht bis zum nächsten großen Run. aber mir kribbelt wieder in den Fingern😂
@SpliffyRand, wäre nice wenns ne Tauschbörse für Samen gäbe bzw hab ich gehört dass auf anderen Plattformen das Leute schon so handhaben,weiß aber nicht wie safe und legal das ist.... Außerdem wären einige Seedsupplier angepisst😂
