Romdog/Garlic Fever LSO + Organics !

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 06/10/26*** Started the germination process, both seeds should hopefully pop in the next 2 to 5 days, paper towel & ceramic plates + bottled water at a PH of 5.8 Put half a toothpick to the side of the plate so I don't lose track of which order the seeds are in ! Very high quality "Compliments" branded water from Freshco. this time around xD Was surprised to see everything on the back of the bottle total 326 ppm mineral wise, down from last weeks batch which was up around 384 ppm! Tastes great & much cleaner than the Great Value brand from Walmart which often totals over 500ppm, Nestle isn't much better either in that regard! Back to the grow... Strains I will be running this time around are: Romdog (Chemdog original Greg K. cut 1991 x Romulan) - Romulan Genetics Garlic Fever (Garlic Cocktail x Romulan) - Romulan Genetics No extra seeds in these packs but a proper count nonetheless, did receive a free 6 pack of Turning Point (Point Break x Romulan) + some stickers alongside the Garlic Fever when it first dropped which was a highly welcomed bonus! Super stoked on both of these crosses! Have been working towards starting my own breeding project but may have to wait another 9 months due to unforeseen circumstances.... Am glad Jake released this when he did because I was just gearing up to do the exact same thing, was going to call mine Muscle Mutts! The original Greg K. cut from 1991 vs what would have been a 91 Skunk VA, Chem #3 or Chem D cross on my end! Romulan x Chemdawg was one of the 1st things that came to mind while I was brainstorming on where I could start, dude has exquisite taste the entire way across the board & the timing on this one for me was perfect! I managed to grab a total of 12 strains over the last year & had plans on running all 12 when able too but I couldn't help myself & had to crack into these ones early! Romulan is one of my all time favorites, Chemdawg is also one of my all time favorites, not a doubt in my mind this **** will absolutely ******* BANG! As for the Garlic Fever, I am unfamiliar with the Garlic Cocktail used in the cross, It's one I have yet to happen across out in the wild, I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to run alongside the Romdog but eventually settled on Garlic Fever upon further clarification, description says "without a doubt the best Romulan cross we have ever made", Jakes overall catalogue is one of the strongest I've ever seen & I am extremely stoked to try this one as well being his personal favorite!! Nutrient wise I will be running Cronks PUUR Organics alongside their Monkey Juice & Armadillo Armor which are also organic, I also have some Great White Myco, Fish Head Farms Fish Sh!t, Blackstrap Molasses & a cover crop that consists of Buckwheat, Alfalfa, Clover, Lentil & Fenugreek! Will check back in with updates once my seeds have germinated! Plan on cleaning/sanitizing my 2x4 tomorrow & will also print/laminate labels so everything is ready to go, this is gonna be a great run! ***UPDATE 06/12/26*** Both seeds have successfully germinated! Resaturated the paper towel with some bottled water at a PH of 5.8, gonna give the tap roots a bit of time to grow before I sink them in the dirt, should be good to go tomorrow morning or later on that afternoon! Still have to clean the 2x4 & print labels for the pots, this will get done early tomorrow morning, been quite busy trimming plants & catching up on timelapses, figured sanitization could wait for now! ***UPDATE 06/14/26*** The Garlic Fever was ready to be planted today! Filled a 1 gal bucket with LSO, sprinkled in a decent amount of Great White Myco & mixed that around with my finger so it doesn't form a hard paste around the seedling during the earliest stages of growth, watered the seedling in with roughly 250ml of bottled water at a PH of 5.9, I used a spray bottle with a fine mist to ensure the seedling didn't sink further into the medium upon watering, I also included a singular drop of monosilicic acid in my water using a pipette which is good for the root system as early as Day 0! The Romdog is a tad bit slower to start & still needs some time for the tap root to grow out, I replaced the paper towel it was germinating with & resaturated using fresh bottled water at a PH of 5.7, I also used a very small amount of monosilicic acid here as well! - Printed/laminated labels for the pots -Cleaned/sanitized the 2x4 + all equipment - lowered the light to where the plants should be receiving roughly 190 uMOL of light once they surface ***UPDATE 06/15/26*** The Romdog made significant progress throughout the night & was ready to be planted this morning, a bump in ambient temps sped the germination process up quite a bit! Same as the Garlic Fever, filled a 1 gal bucket with LSO, sprinkled in a decent amount of Great White Myco & mixed that around with my finger so it doesn't form a hard paste around the seedling during the earliest stages of growth, watered the seedling in with roughly 250ml of bottled water at a PH of 5.8, I used a spray bottle with a fine mist to ensure the seedling didn't sink further into the medium upon watering, I also included a singular drop of monosilicic acid in my water using a pipette which is good for the root system as early as Day 0! Can really see the difference when germinating with minute doses of monosilicic acid! The Romdog already has a ton of additional root hairs vs the Garlic Fever which didn't receive monosilicic acid until it was in the dirt! ***UPDATE 06/16/26*** Both seedlings managed to surface this afternoon & are now above soil, everything is right on track & seems to be doing well! I will start Day 1 veg once the cotyledons have folded out & the finger leaves are fully visible! ***UPDATE 06/17/26*** Gonna start week 1 veg tomorrow! Seedlings are stretching at a good pace, 190 uMOL to start might be the move! Will sometimes start them around 300 uMOL to keep them short, bit of stretch will allow me to get some plastic straws around the main stems so I can hit them with the clip fan nice & early in order to build some strength! Temps/RH are dialed in for the time being!
