H0BBYGAERTNER Hello World!
Trying Photos this time, as my last run purely consisted of automatic. feel ready to use my gained knowledge about the controlled environment in a tent!
Put into plain, cheap cultivation soil: 07.02.2026
Germination Slush Mint Cake: Around 11.02.2026
Germination Skywalker Haze: Around 14.02.2026
As conditions (winter) a still harsh here, temperature and light-wise, i decided to try a (also very cheap) plant lamp from the hardware store to support the scarce natural daylight as i did not want to put the whole tent into operation yet ("windowsill will work fine, haha"). Well, it seems like this has not made a difference at all, especially for the very short time in use (around 1 week only) - would not recommend (have a look at my asparagus)!
Just put both seeds (stored in fridge) into the soil, watered with warm water, voilá.
Why Slush and Skywalker? Well, a friend insisted (fomo hype?) on ordering Slush seeds on black friday and i could not resist splitting a bigger pack. Will admit, looks like a juicy (and flashy) strain though. Aditionally wanted to try a clearly categorized "Haze" strain, so i picked one that seemed to have a bit of a reputation - looking forward to the results.
Well, wish me luck and hope to welcome a lot of you growers to my next diary, feedback very welcome. See you soon!

H0BBYGAERTNER Entry #2: New kids on the block!
Carefully moved both seedlings to their new home, each around 25l (couldve been a bit more i guess, as the bags are not completely full, but i can add some more later when i have more substrate around) of BioBizz Light Mix - let's see how this will work out. Added some Oscorna "Animalin" to the soil in a "mid" (so not totally on the bottom and not on top of the pot, where the small plants will be put) layer NPK 7-4-0,5 so the plants will find a nice treasure to feed them in a later stadium (it seems P will be too high, though, at least on paper. However, i have made good experiences with it, so again - let's see how this also will work out).
As the plants were pretty tall already i put them very deep into the soil, also not centered into the pots to have the possibility of training later. Added some plain water, set up the light on 18/6 at around 550 µmol/m²/s (according to photone, which resulted in 40% brightness of the Mars Hydro FC1500) - ready to go!
For the coming weeks: The room temperature seems to be way to cold, looking to adjust it now (maybe the lamp will heat sufficiently). Also planning on starting to feed fertilizer when both plants have adjusted in a few days/weeks.
See you next time!
