P0C023 It began…
I’m a newbie here on Grow Diaries — and outside of this bubble as well. One year into this journey, I finally feel a bit more comfortable sharing my flaws and following this incredible path. Being a newbie doesn’t mean being reckless, though. Every step of the initial process involves cleaning and sterilising every single inch of the tent and all the equipment.
Disclaimer: Be careful when using certain products like bleach or other strong chemicals. Always wear a mask, gloves, safety glasses, etc. Take care of yourself during this process and make sure there is plenty of fresh air circulating. Stay safe! 🏾

🌱 Germination Process
I usually prefer placing the seed directly into the growing medium to avoid pathogens — no direct handling of the seed.
So: mask on, gloves on, and full attention.
Once the medium is in the pot, I water with about 50–80 ml of pure water, adjusted to pH 6.3, with the lowest EC possible.
The hardest and most challenging part for me: waiting — around 7 days. 😜😝
From day one, the pots were placed on a heating mat, maintaining an average temperature of 22°C.
I can’t wait to see it growing, growing, growing!
Grow with passion, and it will thrive. 🌱✨

Okay, I made a mistake and I’m not very happy with the results. The pH/EC pen turned out to be unreliable and wasn’t working properly. Because of that, the pH went up a bit, which may have caused a nitrogen deficiency and the light green color on the leaves.
However, a new pen has arrived, and the first watering after that was done at pH 5.8 to make sure things get back to normal. Fingers crossed!
