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 Slush Mint Cake) 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.
Compared to the other two the Chemdog isn't really taller but already has a headstart regarding leaf surface. Big juicy leafs (for a one week plant..) we'll see where she takes us!

Danylo OK, so 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. Root development was right on the cusp of being too-far advanced for her little pot so we were right on time.
Gave her a day to acclimatize after getting repotted and then removed most of her fan leafs. Out of the three she has the most bushy structure so this defoliation is vital for her lateral branches to get some direct light.
(Marked the pictures for easier temporal placing this time : lower number = younger plant)

Danylo Like with the others, these pics are 8 days after the last ones. Not quite a week but close enough! 😜
Out of the three for this run, the Chemdog is (atm) the largest with the biggest internodal spacing. Even despite getting about 600ish PPFD. She appears kind of stemmy right now and I hope the flower stretch doesn't fuck me over completely, but at least her stems are nice and sturdy!
She is VERY vigorous and when removing leafs she already gives off a nice spicy/earthy aroma! 😍 As I chose this strain strictly for the bouquet I'm already a little giddy!
In the coming week we're gonna transplant her into the final 20L pot, but right now there are not a lot of roots poking out the bottom holes. I'm a chronic too-late-transplanter though so I'm ready to be proven wrong in the next few days!
