Aircoholic Second time growing in Sonnenerde Bio Hanferde, first time growing Exotic Seeds - very exciting! Thank you, Exotic Seed, for the free seeds!
After using a cone of seedling soil in the last grow, to avoid too early contact between the sensitive seedlings and the nutrient rich "hot" soil, this time I'm going straight in, after the Sonnenerde team commented that on one of my last grows.
And because this post covid fatigue and brain fog is mixing badly with my ADHD, I forgot to add a little Dynomyco - but I'm trusting that there's enough mycorrhiza in the soil already.
EDIT: Alright, she's out, and officially in seedling stage. She lost one of the first two leafs, but is already showing the tiny first real leafs in production.

Aircoholic She germinated after 5 days, which I consider a perfectly normal germination time. She lost one leaf in the process, but is compensating with some nice growth on the pair of first real leafs.

Aircoholic So far, this is a very calm grow, feels more mindful and relaxed than previous grows - but I'm sure that has to do with the plant and nothing with myself 😌

Aircoholic She's growing slow and steady, taking her time, not letting anything or anyone stress her out. As with White Banana Auto growing in parallel, I'm debating topping her - just not sure how she'll respond, since she's not the fastest grower. Well, there's still time, it's not a decision that needs to be made today or tomorrow.

Aircoholic It wasn't an easy decision, but I did end up topping her. YOLO! 😂
It's never an easy decision with genetics and breeders you have no experience with, but I've made topping my plants a bit of a habit and didn't want to leave her out.
By the looks of it, the topping didn't affect her negatively - she didn't stop growth, she just keeps going.

Aircoholic Some early flowering signs are visible, but not quite there yet. After she reacted so well to topping and showed some vigor in her growth, I decided to apply some LST clips, to open up the canopy. The lowest node branches have used the opportunity to shoot up to the level of the others. Absolutely beautiful. Just as with White Banana Auto, this is a very calm and relaxed plant, making this grow rather hands-off, which feels unusual, but quite enjoyable.
