Mrs_Larimar 2026-01-14 Started this seed in December 2025, and germination was impressively quick. She's already been transplanted into a 35L fabric pot and received her first topping today. Growing Medium & Feeding: Using recycled Terra Preta mix with the Biotabs "just add water" strategy, which builds a living soil rich with beneficial microorganisms that break down organic matter into plant-available nutrients. This approach keeps things simple, organic, and self-sustaining. Watering System: Just set up the autopot system for her and one neighboring plant. The autopot delivers steady, gentle hydration that keeps the soil life thriving without disrupting the delicate microbial ecosystem—a perfect match for the Biotabs method. Since I can only run autopots for 2 plants (not all 6 in the room), these two larger girls get the automated treatment while the younger ones—about 10 days behind—are still on hand watering. Breeder info// this grow is CEMENT CRUNCH Cement Crunch is an unknown from Cult Classics Seeds and can be cultivated indoors and outdoors (Where the plants will need a flowering time of ±61 days) Cult Classics Seeds's Cement Crunch is only available as feminized seeds.

Mrs_Larimar 2026-02-02 This lady is a strong boned one- strong branches, huge jagged leaves, skin like sandpaper some leaves got a slight yellowing- my mixture has been to strong- i miscalculated.- but she will be fine as she gets bigger.

I’ve successfully reused the substrate for this cycle, and the results speak for themselves. The synergy between Startrex and Bactrex at the start of the run is the secret sauce; it effectively 're-indexes' the soil by breaking down old organic matter into available nutrients while establishing a perfect microbial buffer. It’s not just recycling—it’s bio-engineering a living ecosystem that's ready to perform from Day 1.
