DivineBuds420 Welcome to another grow with DivineBuds420.
This time, the journey begins with a dream.
Before this whole project started, my wife had a dream.
In the dream, she found a seed in cannabis flower and grew it into a plant.
When she woke up, she excitedly told me about it.
Some time later, it happened.
She actually found a seed in one of our medical cannabis flowers.
The flower was King Z.
According to the information available for this medical product, King Z was developed by Mother Labs and is a cross of King Sherb Ć Z Splitter.
That single seed became the mother plant for this entire grow.
Coincidence?
Maybe.
Or perhaps this is simply the universe unfolding in its own unique way. š±āØ
I am fully aware of the risks that come with growing from an unknown bagseed.
The exact genetic makeup of this individual seed is unknown, and there is always a possibility of genetic instability.
But I also believe that every legendary genetic line started somewhere.
Some famous cannabis lines are said to have originated from seeds found in bagged flower.
So while growing an unknown bagseed is always a genetic gamble, sometimes the biggest surprises come from taking a chance. š±
š„ BOOM BOOM SPRAY
A few days before taking the cuttings, the mother plant received a treatment with BioTabs Boom Boom Spray as an additional boost before the cuttings were taken.
Boom Boom Spray is a 100% organic and vegan foliar biostimulant containing natural amino acids, peptides, glucides and minerals.
It is designed to support plants by helping them deal with stress, providing a nutritional boost and supporting plant growth and mineral uptake.
I decided to give the mother plant this additional support shortly before taking the cuttings, hoping to give the new clones the best possible start. š±
Before starting this project, I already allowed one clone to flower briefly to confirm that the plant was female.
šæ THE SETUP
Strain: King Z
Genetics: King Sherb Ć Z Splitter
Developed by: Mother Labs
Origin of seed: Bagseed found in medical cannabis flower
Plants: Clones from one seed
Growing system: AutoPot Easy2Grow
Pots: 4 Ć 15 L pots, each divided into 4 sections
Growing space: Approximately 3.75 L of growing medium per plant
Tent: Spider Farmer 70 Ć 70 Ć 160 cm
Lighting: DIY lamp using Samsung LED strips
Planned maximum power: approximately 100 W
Nutrients: BioTabs ā Just Add Water strategy
Water: RO water
Each 15 L pot is divided into four sections, giving us 16 individual growing spaces in total.
Of course, this also creates a challenge.
With four plants sharing one pot, the plants will have limited individual root space, and the 70 Ć 70 cm tent will become crowded very quickly.
The goal is to fill the tent quickly, keep the vegetative phase relatively short and create a full and relatively even canopy.
We will see how well that plan works in practice.
The biggest question now is what this individual King Z plant can become.
Will the plants develop consistently?
Will the genetics prove to be stable?
And most importantly:
Will this medical bagseed turn out to be a hidden gem?
High risk.
High reward?
Let's find out.
The journey begins. š±š

DivineBuds420 The first week of vegetative growth begins with the clones still fighting their way back.
The current heatwave affected the clones to different degrees, and all of them are still dealing with the consequences.
Some were hit harder than others, and the progress of root development also varies from clone to clone.
Some are already showing roots emerging through the peat pellets, while others are still taking their time.
As the first roots started to appear, it was time to give the clones a little more room to develop.
The rooted clones were carefully transplanted into small 0.5 L pots filled with recycled Light-Mix.
In total, 17 clones were transplanted.
16 plants are needed to fill the final setup, which means we have one extra clone waiting on the bench as a substitute player. šš±
They are all still struggling, but the first roots are there, and that is a good sign.
One step at a time.
Let's see if these little survivors can turn things around. š±š

DivineBuds420 The last two weeks have mainly been about survival and recovery.
The clones were still dealing with the consequences of the heatwave, and some of them had a much harder time than others.
While some plants slowly started to recover, others were fighting just to stay alive.
The progress was far from uniform.
Some clones developed a stronger root system relatively quickly, while others remained much more fragile and took considerably longer to establish themselves.
This is where the unplanned asymmetry of this grow really began.
The original plan was to create a relatively uniform canopy from genetically identical clones.
Instead, the plants were already developing at very different speeds before the main grow had even properly started.
At this point, the clones ranged from approximately 10 cm to 36 cm in height.
Some were stronger.
Some were weaker.
Some were still fighting for their place.
But all of them are still here.
š± INTO THE FINAL POTS
16 plants were selected for the main setup, while the extra clone remains on the bench as our substitute player. šš±
The clones were transplanted into four 15 L pots, with each pot divided into four sections.
This gives each plant approximately 3.75 L of growing medium.
The four pots were placed into two AutoPot Easy2Grow trays and connected to the system.
š± PREPARING THE GROWING MEDIUM
For this grow, I am using the BioTabs Just Add Water strategy.
The growing medium was prepared with the BioTabs components needed to create the nutritional and biological foundation for the plants.
? SILICIUM FLASH
Silicium Flash was added as an organic fertiliser and soil improver, providing silicon and essential nutrients to the growing medium.
šæ STARTREX
Startrex was added to help create a biologically active growing medium and support the soil life around the roots.
BACTREX
Bactrex was used to introduce beneficial microorganisms into the growing medium.
š MYCOTREX
Mycotrex was added to provide beneficial mycorrhizal fungi and support the development of the root zone.
š„ BOOM BOOM SPRAY
After transplanting the clones into their final pots, they received another treatment with BioTabs Boom Boom Spray.
I decided to use it as an additional boost while the plants were adjusting to their new growing environment and continuing to develop their root systems.
The goal of the Just Add Water strategy is to prepare the growing medium with the necessary nutrients and beneficial biology from the beginning.
From here, the plan is to keep things simple.
RO water.
After a few weeks, the AutoPot system takes over.
And let the biology in the growing medium do its work. š§š±
The 16 clones are now finally in their permanent positions.
The tent is already beginning to fill up, but the plants are still very small and have a long way to go.
The next challenge will be to see how these survivors develop now that they have more space and a prepared growing medium.
Let's see what happens next. š±š
