Stony_German Tag 0 Yolo run This grow is just for fun. It’s probably unlikely that I will finish this grow. But once a grower, always a grower. The move of the grow area is delayed by problems with the renovation and construction measures by a whole 4 weeks or even 6. That would mean no grow for 6-8 weeks. I can’t accept that😊😉. The 0.5-liter Solo cups were filled with Canna Terra Professional + 10% Perlite extra mix and watered with 100ml root booster and Dynomyco Spark. This way, the soil can slowly soak up and create a comfortable home for the new seeds with a homogeneous moisture. I haven’t used the paper towel method for germination in a long time. So let’s do that this time. The seeds were placed on damp (not wet) tissues, covered with another damp tissue, and then everything went into a zip bag that was sealed. I placed the bag in the old wardrobe on the top shelf where it’s a nice 25-26 Celsius. There’s enough oxygen in the bag for the next 36-48 hours until the germinated seeds go into the pre-moistened Solo cups. Choosing the genetics was very difficult since I probably won’t be able to finish the grow. But more crap can always happen, so I went with the Iced Wildberry from Robin Hood Seeds (Banana Buttercups x Purple Punch) and a backup seed, a true old-school classic: the original Bubblegum from Serious Seeds. The first original Indiana Bubblegum cut that came to Europe. I have 6 seeds of both strains, so it hurts less if I have to throw the ladies away. Anyone who wants to join us on this journey is warmly invited. I will, as always, try to grow a beauty, no matter which of the two it will be in the end.😊 Update after 20 hours. The pictures are 20 hours after the seeds were placed in the wet tissue. A very nice root size for such a short time. For about 5 years, I’ve kept my seeds in a glass of water for 36 hours and then potted them. All those years before, this paper towel method was my favorite germination. I will observe the next few grows more closely to see if the future seeds also develop faster than in the shot glass germination. I’m surprised myself. Over the years, I’ve let too much convenience creep in. You can see that in the first grows I showed here. Also, thanks to the many positive feedbacks, I thought I could do much better, so I will observe this and possibly do it again in the future. Since I forgot to sprinkle Dynomyco into the planting hole, I put it on top of the seeds and watered it with the pipette (about 10ml) with a bit of Rhizotonic from Canna.

Stony_German Tag 1 Veg: As always, after 7 days of the seeds having their first contact with water, we start with the vegetation days. They are a bit too stretchy for my liking, but I didn't expect them to be this far out of the soil after just 4 days and already needing light. I was a bit stressed with work and renovation that I only put them on the sunniest side of the windowsill on the 5th day. Just yesterday I had time to take care of them and bring the LED up from the basement and hang it up. Now they are getting their "sunlight" from the Veg LED. It's all good; I gave them a support just in case, as they could tip over when they open their cotyledon leaves. A light breeze is finally coming in to make them more stable. I'm just putting in the effort, even though they probably won't make it into my jars. I wish all visitors and friends who follow my grows a nice weekend.

Stony_German Tag 7 veg Transplant into 8 liters I usually prefer to transplant after 10 days, but I have a lot to do next week and my grow buddy "greenGlasses" needs the rest of my 25L bag of soil, which I'll visit later for a smoke. He has 50L + 10L perlite, but that's not enough for 3 x 20L pots. In my experience, you need about 75-80L. As always, mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria went into the planting hole, and I also added Dynomyco Spark with the 1.6L of watering. Rhizotonic, Cannazym, and Mono-Silica as well. Since it got a bit leggy, I just planted it a little deeper during the transplanting. I have height restrictions anyway, so why not? It has no negative effects at all. Good tip for beginners whose seedlings got a bit too tall. For me, it was the unexpectedly fast germination and giving light 12 hours too late. The Bubblegum is a bit weak and will probably be sorted out in the coming days; I'm just keeping it alive for observation. I'll see how it handles an earlier and slightly higher dose of nutrients. I plan to water with an EC of 1.3 just to see how it copes with that. Normally, I never go above EC 1.1 at this early stage. So let's experiment a bit and learn. Even after so many years, you never stop learning. I wish you all a nice weekend with great weather, healthy plants, and lots of terps.

Stony_German Tag 15 Veg and 22 days since the seeds had water contact The Iced Wildberry (Banana Buttercups x Purple Punch) is in its final home in the 40x40 tent after the Orange Creampop is now in the dark and looks beautiful. Perfect formation of side branches, no mutations, and very fast growth despite uncontrolled humidity. It was all between 25% and 75%. I had them in the big tent without a fan. Only the Veg LED and the fan were the used techniques. No air humidification or VPD control. With some experience, and if everything else is right, it can be done without all the tech. It might have been a few days further along if everything had been perfectly set up. I will try to finish this beauty, so hope is there, but it will be difficult. Interesting how you can slow down the grow by not transplanting or doing it too late. The little Bubblegum is the same age and was under the same conditions and was well-watered. Only the larger substrate volume shows how you can slow down your grow. Nice to see for everyone with less experience; I specifically included this photo to make it visible. So don’t be lazy and transplant earlier. I’ll leave it standing to observe further. Such little experiments help understand this plant, and as I’ve always said, you learn with every new grow. I appreciate all the great messages you write to me, and it motivates me to make these reports and photos. Great if it helps someone else too. I wish you all a nice Sunday evening.

Good luck with the ladies! 🍀 The BBC x Purple Punch should deliver some really nice terps. Hopefully, you can finish the grow. Or at least bring a cutting of it to the new apartment so you can outgrow the Phneo! 💪🏽

@GanjaGecko, thank you. Let's see. The orange creampop was also one of those situations. With all the problems that can come up when completely renovating an apartment, this can happen here too. Whatever happens in the end, have fun and just grow. 😊

@Hawii_ReLoaded, Thanks buddy. By the way, I already reached out to them weeks ago in the Titan Discord to accept you. No idea why they haven't done it.

Hawii_ReLoaded commented8d ago
@Stony_German, very cool, thanks! It's really quite strange why they only let very few people into the Discord. I also contacted Titan directly through his RH website, and they asked for my Discord name, but so far nothing has happened... Apparently, they are working on a new platform, but they actually wanted to finish it last year. Let's wait and see what happens here in the near future.
