Danylo Say what you will about the indica vs sativa stuff but when selecting seeds I tend to go for the chunkier ones hoping for a more indica-leaning pheno! (Yes, very scientific! 😛) I have read about larger seeds needing a little more time to germinate, which makes sense - because the larger the seed, the larger the distance from outside to center of the seed. They were all on the chunky side, but I took the biggest of them and despite the size/germination-time relation this one (along with the Chemdog) smashed my previous "first water contact to poking through the soil" - record by almost ten hours. 64 hours is all it took, crazy. I think it's at least partially due to the relatively warm 23.5-24°C (~75°F) temp they got during this time. Method stayed the same : Soak for about 24 hours in 1% H202 solution and then directly into low nutrient soil. Despite selecting the larger seed she appears to have somewhat narrow leafs which usually indicates a sativa-leaning phenotype. I recently had a lot of luck with a Lemon Z sporting a comparably sativa pheno (in reference to the more indica-leaning one I had a while before) so this is going to be exciting! [Personal note:] I just love growing from seed! .. every resulting plant and it's growing experience is a little unique 😍

Danylo For a few days now we had the first 5-pronged leafs which means we're officially in VEG! Quite a lot happened in the last six days .. she grew, she rooted through her little 0.5L pot - got transferred to a 3.5L and then she got her first haircut. Gave her a day to acclimatize after getting repotted and then removed most of her fan leafs. Her fan leafs had long stems so there was some light reaching the lateral branches, but they weren't developing as fast as they should. Yes she looks a little ratty directly after.. (Marked the pictures for easier temporal placing this time : lower number = younger plant)

Danylo When the pics were taken, the plant already was 8 days older than the previous diary entry. A little over a week but "life just be that way I guess". This pretty Slush Mint Cake lands (structure wise..) right in the middle of her two roomies. Internodal spacing not too large and not too small. Until now it grows mostly predictable! (which I love ❤️) Defoliation at this stage focusses mostly on fan leafs and some larger leafs of the lateral branches. Yes, the plants look a little hungover from that sometimes 💩 In her near future there is a move into her final pot (and the flower tent) and almost directly after that she is getting topped and set to 12/12 by daily decrements.
