TruTraTri New year, new germination. Popped after 2 days ๐Ÿ‘ป We have Lexx, Kai, Stanley and Zev as names (it's a series ;-) ). Modern times, so it's not decided who is who ๐Ÿ˜œ Perhaps I'll save one for outdoors or just keep most healthiest. I planned Autopots 1Pot, but I substituted the plastic (8?L) pot with a fitting 11L fabric pot. Looks a bit silly and I hope it doesn't break if I wet the soil. I don't like it but I think I am going with ScroG again. โ€œOrganic matter detected.โ€ โ€” Lexx โ€œLifeโ€ฆ has begun.โ€ โ€” Kai โ€œSomething is growing in the Dark Zone.โ€ โ€” Stanley Tweedle โ€œSomething beautiful always grows out of chaos.โ€ โ€” Zev edit: D3 they already showed up with their first set of true leaves. Wanted to make 10D of germination, Well.. I'll make it 3. So fast I hope it's not an auto ๐Ÿ˜‚ edit: watch the series!

TruTraTri Light adjustments because the box is finally free. Maybe it was a bit too comfortable but no major damage. Still 1 a bit sloppy, three similar (2 of them nearly identical). Next week final transplantation, โ€œI am the most powerful weapon in the universe.โ€ โ€” Lexx โ€œI do not question my purpose.โ€ โ€” Kai โ€œThis is absolutely not normal!โ€ โ€” Stanley Tweedle โ€œI want what I want.โ€ โ€” Zev Bellringer edit: watch the series!

TruTraTri Always the same mistakes.. over and over again ๐Ÿ˜‚ Last week - Stressed because of light change This week - 1) After slight stress signs.. I got too excited so I transplanted too early ... as always... and at not 100% health. 2) As result probably some watering/root issues. 3) As I repotted I saw first sprouts of new shoots. So I decided to remove the first pair. Of course way too early, more like grinding it off instead of cutting or clipping ๐Ÿ˜Ž (4. Perhaps I was a bit off with my recycling this time so could be a bit burned, too. 5. Included an auto in a free spot.. IDK how many times I told me to not do that) Possible nothing, mix of everything or they focues on growth below. Well, I just couldn't let them take a rest or even recover. ๐Ÿ˜’ Nonetheless, just 1 is taking all this accumulated stress serious and looks a bit sad. The others look not at best, but okay. I hope I can just leave them alone for about 3 - 7 days so they can stack up a bit and get a bit darker. I planned for 12/12 in 3 weeks + ScroG. After that stupid acculmulation of everything bad, I am considering of letting the single auto (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/297548-grow-journal-by-trutratri) finish first. With 3-4 additional weeks I could do some training and avoid the ScroG๐Ÿ˜ Advantage would be some clones for outdoor season and/or exclude the lush one if she doesn't recover. โ€œI require nourishment.โ€ โ€” Lexx โ€œI obey without emotion.โ€ โ€” Kai โ€œThis is a nightmare. Iโ€™m awake, right?โ€ โ€” Stanley Tweedle โ€œI wonโ€™t be owned.โ€ โ€” Zev Bellringer

TruTraTri I'm impressed by my self-restraint. I could hold myself back for 3 days. The plants were just on the edge of getting healthy. ๐Ÿ˜’ Topping in 3-5 days would be perfect but I don't care about what I think so did it early. With less stress signals they look healthier.. mission accomplished๐Ÿ˜… The stressed one catched up a bit, one is still a bit taller, 2 very simmilar. Next steps.. keep your fingers off the plants.๐Ÿ˜› โ€œMy captain is Stanley Tweedle. I blow up planets for him.โ€ โ€” Lexx โ€œI am Kai, last of the Brunnen G.โ€ โ€” Kai โ€œMay his merciful shadow fall upon... me preferably.โ€ โ€” Stanley Tweedle โ€œCanโ€™t we just have sex instead?โ€ โ€” Zev

Sorry if I put some names in but it's all your fault! I wanted to make a little break from making pictures every week .. but well. Why Blackwater?! I saw the comment of @MindFlowers68 in the Ukhta contest. What can I say.. all true for every picture of all growers ( @CanarianGrow92, @Rock_n_Roll_Randy, @CorinnaFarm ). I hope I can be half as successfull as your grows. Thx already for putting your pictures in the contest and showing me this strain, even if I can not achieve your results. Much respect to all of you! Thx @OriginalSensible for the seeds and sweetest mail contact. ๐Ÿ˜Ž I hope I don't ruin it ๐Ÿ˜… edit: Happy new year to all of the force mentioned. Best buds and wishes for you!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
