Bunterbiber Welcome to the start of a brand new journey! I’m diving into a test run with Papaya Cookies Auto from FastBuds. The main goal here is to dial in my Biotabs NL feeding regimen before I commit to a special run with a strain from Good Genetix later on. I want to make sure everything is dialed in and running perfectly before that happens. The germination process was straightforward: 24 hours in a glass of water, followed by a stay in wet cotton pads until that beautiful taproot showed up. Once they were ready, I moved them into 0.5l pots under a 20W lamp in my small breeder box. I’m keeping the humidity high to give them the best start possible. Oh, and a little fun fact for this setup: I’ve got a carnivorous plant living right inside the breeder with them. It’s my natural, green solution to keep those pesky fungus gnats away from the seedlings. So far, so good—the little ones are off to a clean and safe start!

Bunterbiber Week 1 is in the books, and everything has gone well so far! I’ve officially set up the permanent home for these plants: 9L fabric pots filled with a mix of soil, perlite, Urgesteinsmehl (basalt rock dust), and fine dolomite lime. The basalt is there to help strengthen the cell walls and boost resistance against pests like spider mites, while the lime is key to balancing out the Calcium/Magnesium ratio in my water. Speaking of the water, I’m using tap water (pH 8, Ca: 51mg/l, Mg: 9mg/l). I’m not adjusting the pH; instead, I just let it sit in a bucket for at least 24 hours to let the chlorine dissipate. If I notice the Ca:Mg ratio needs a little boost later on, I’ve got some Epsom salt on standby. As for the feeding, I’m sticking strictly to the Biotabs NL schedule for automatics. Today, at Day 7, I added the first tab to the soil. The second tab will follow in exactly 7 days. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the soil ecosystem and the plants develop with this specific regimen!

Bunterbiber Rolling into Week 2! Everything has been running completely according to plan so far. Mother Nature is definitely cooperating, serving up some optimal weather with plenty of sunshine, around 25°C during the day, dropping to a comfortable 15°C at night, and zero rain. Following the Biotabs NL guidelines for automatics, I pressed the second Biotab into the soil today. Otherwise, it’s a quiet and easy phase—just sticking to plain water for now and letting them do their thing until we reach the second week of flowering. Everything is looking great so far!

Bunterbiber Everything is working wonderfully so far, and the little one is developing really nicely. I'm continuing to water with plain water only, making sure to let it sit in a bucket for about 24 hours beforehand to let that high chlorine content dissipate. The weather is heating up quite a bit right now, with daytime temperatures pushing back over 30°C. I'm keeping a close eye on things, but she's handling the warmth like a champ so far. Let's keep this momentum going!
