SleepyChow Hi Folks šš¼
Long time no seeš
You know how it is, guys. I just canāt help myself.š
Shortly after the last grow, my fingers start itching again.
Just like last time, Iāve already prepared my soil and put the pots outside. Right now, Iām brewing a nice, light compost tea. For this auto run, I really donāt want to stress the plants with strong teas. Thatās why there will only be three compost teas in total during the entire run, and all of them will be fairly mild. Iāll write down the exact recipe next time.
Of course, Iām reusing my old soil, which has been mulched with leftover plant material and branches from the previous grow.
For the start, Iāve 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, Iāll already be running the light. One big advantage of jiffies is that they can be buried quite deep ā theyāre 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 didnāt 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 wasnāt 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.
Now a quick Strain Presentation:

Day 1
Little Greta aka Gorilla Z saw the light of day today⦠well, the light of a 200-watt led lampš¶š¼š
Seems like my light-from-day-one strategy with the jiffys worked out pretty well.
Her future home/big pot was already prepared four days ago. As mentioned, the pot is mulched with old leaf and stem material from the last run, given a gentle compost tea, and finished off with five tbsp of worm castings.
She will move in within this week.
AACT recipe (5l):
-5 tbsp worm castings
-1tsp malted barley
-1tsp molasses
