Kushycat New journey, new luck.
Iโm really excited about this opportunity from @paradiseseeds to show that Iโve learned from my early mistakes and can finally bring a few plants to maturity without them looking half-dead like my first indoor growing attempts ๐ In addition to debuting this fine strain, this will also be my very first run with photoperiod plants.
Paradise Seeds provided me with 3 Caramba seeds and 3 Auto Kong seeds. The Auto Kongs will most likely be used in a future run, and so the two Carambas donโt feel too lonely, I ordered some Mendo Crรจme myself.
For a better overview, Iโll create:
one grow diary featuring 2 Caramba plants
and another one with 2 Mendo Crรจme plants.
I donโt have a fixed plan yet for how long the vegetative phase will last, but Iโm thinking itโll probably be on the longer side. First, I want to see how they develop and then decide when to switch to 12/12.
A big thank you to Viviana and the whole team at @paradiseseeds .
Iโve polished my tent to a high shine and hope I managed to take some nice pictures.
Soโฆ let the wild ride begin! ๐

Kushycat There isn't much to report yet, as you can see. The seeds took their time soaking in water before finally cracking open.
Being the clumsy person I am, I naturally dropped one of the seedsโCaramba No. 1. Even though I was convinced it had fallen into the pot, I couldn't find it anywhere despite searching with a flashlight and checking multiple times. In the end, I planted the backup seed directly into the soil without soaking it first. To my surprise, it actually germinated faster than the seeds I had soaked in water.
The seedlings are now in the tent, and the lamp is running at 40% power on an 18-hour schedule. Tomorrow I'll switch on the humidifier and let nature take its course.
One exciting change for future grows: I'll be generating my own electricity to power them.

Kushycat Hi, I'm a little late with this update because I haven't been feeling very well lately. The little ones seem to be doing fine so far. ๐ฑ
I've been careful with watering. I haven't weighed the pots, but I've started to get a feel for whether they're dry or can wait another day.
I was wondering why they were growing so slowly. At first I thought it might be because I left them on the balcony for the first two days since the weather was nice. I figured a little sunshine wouldn't hurt at the start. โ๏ธ
After comparing them, I realized the lamp was hanging a bit too high. It's running at 40% power and is now about 70 cm above the plants after I adjusted it.
I'll probably switch on the second lamp in the next few days and lower them a little more. How low would you go at this stage?
They seem much happier now, and I've definitely noticed better growth since adjusting the light.
I'm taking it easy this run. This time I have the luxury of playing Mother Nature myself and deciding when the flowers start to bloom. ๐๐ฟ
@FatnastyzBudz, For now, she and her sisters are in the 1.3-liter EcoPure pots, just like in the outdoor grow described in the other post. I think theyโll stay there for about 3 to 4 weeks, and then Iโll acclimate them to 12-liter Air Pots and send them into flowering. I think then Iโll just need bloom fertilizer and the booster, and Iโll get a good result without any deficiencies or anything like that, so I wonโt have to hide from Paradise Seeds ๐๐น
@Kushycat, ๐๐๐ I love transplanting, probably why I like photos so much. Ha maybe my ADHD and not being able to keep my paws off. ๐น
You got this ez pz ๐
