420DeepGrow Thanks to the team at Humboldt Seeds Company, Xpert Nutrients, and Mars Hydro — without them this wouldn't be possible. 🌿⛽ California Octane: Photoperiod feminized genetics from Humboldt Seeds Company. A variety that stands out for its vigor, structure, and a distinctive genetic character, combining high production with an intense and complex aromatic profile. Plant with good development and balanced structure, with a flowering that promises excellent resin production. Its aromatic profile is characterized by intense notes of fuel and citrus, accompanied by sweet, earthy, and spicy undertones that can gain complexity during flowering and curing. 📆 Week 0: Starting indoors. Germination with a good start, showing uniform initial development and quick adaptation to the environment. The first days focused on promoting a strong root system and clean growth. Gentle watering with Master Root, keeping the substrate properly aerated and slightly moist. ⚡ EC: 0.3 💧 pH: 6.2 🌡️ Water: 21°C 🌫️ Humidity: 70–80% 💡 Intensity: 200–250 PPFD 🔥 Grow note: I was really looking forward to trying California Octane from Humboldt Seeds Company. A genetics that promises a lot due to its combination of vigor, structure, resin production, and that aromatic profile loaded with fuel and citrus. It will be interesting to follow its evolution throughout the cycle and see how far it can go. Let’s keep growing strong! 💪

420DeepGrow 📆 Week 2 This second week has been marked by quite high temperatures, which has caused California Octane to progress a bit slower than expected. Still, the plant is moving forward and is gradually picking up pace, showing a more defined structure. With the root development now more established, I increased the intensity of the nutrition and moved to an EC of 0.9, incorporating Master Root and Master Grow to support this new growth boost. ⚡ EC: 0.9 💧 pH: 6.2 🌡️ Water: 21°C 🌫️ Humidity: 70–80% 💡 Intensity: 250–300 PPFD 🔥 Grow note: The heat has slowed down the start a bit, but California Octane is beginning to react and gain strength. Now it's time to take advantage of this new momentum and keep building a solid plant from the base. Little by little, but with strength! 💪

420DeepGrow 📆 Week 1 During this week, California Octane has continued to progress, although it started with a bit of a disadvantage compared to the others. Germination took place about two weeks later, so I finally had to switch it to 12/12 while still a bit small. Even so, the structure is starting to define itself and the plant continues to gain strength. With the root system now more established, I’m increasing the nutrient intensity to an EC of 1.1, keeping Master Root and Master Grow to support this new pace of development. ⚡ EC: 1.1 💧 pH: 6.2 🌡️ Water: 21°C 🌫️ Humidity: 65% 💡 Intensity: 700–800 PPFD 🔥 Grow note: It’s time to change the plan and go into 12/12 with a plant a bit smaller than usual, mainly due to those two weeks difference in germination. Now it’s time to take advantage of the stretch so it can finish gaining structure and reach its full potential. Little by little, but with strength! 💪

420DeepGrow 📆 Week 2 During this second week in 12/12, California Octane continues to develop, although it still maintains a somewhat reduced size due to the two-week difference in germination. Little by little it starts to gain structure and take advantage of the cycle change. I perform a pruning of the lower branches to concentrate development in the areas with the highest potential and improve the structure of the plant. ⚡ EC: 1.1 💧 pH: 6.2 🌡️ Water: 21°C 🌫️ Humidity: 65% 💡 Intensity: 700–800 PPFD 🔥 Cultivation note: It is still somewhat small, but it begins to stretch and define its structure. Now it's time to take advantage of these first weeks of 12/12 to gain the maximum possible volume. We continue to grow strong! 💪

420DeepGrow 📆 Week 3 California Octane keeps stretching and gaining height, although it currently has little lateral branching. The first pre-flowers are starting to appear, and the plant is clearly showing the shift towards flowering. ⚡ EC: 1.1 💧 pH: 6.2 🌡️ Water: 21°C 🌫️ Humidity: 65% 💡 Intensity: 700–800 PPFD 🔥 Grow note: Still small, but the stretch continues and the first pre-flowers indicate the start of flowering. We're still growing strong! 💪

420DeepGrow 📆 Week 4 The stretch continues, but the plant is starting to distribute its growth more towards the first flowering areas. The pre-flowers are giving way to small pistils, and the transition to flowering is becoming increasingly evident, although there is still some time before the buds start to gain volume. I keep the EC at 1.1 and continue to observe its evolution, allowing it to finish defining its structure before making any significant changes in management. ⚡ EC: 1.1 💧 pH: 6.2 🌡️ Water: 21°C 🌫️ Humidity: 65% 💡 Intensity: 700–800 PPFD 🔥 Grow note: It still has a fairly simple structure, but the first pistils confirm that flowering is already underway. Now it's time to follow its evolution and see how it responds over the next few weeks. We're still growing strong! 💪

420DeepGrow 📆 Week 5 The flowering is gaining prominence and the first buds are starting to take shape, with the pistils becoming more visible in the growth areas. Although the plant still maintains a simple structure, the flowers are beginning to form and the development is entering a new stage. With the arrival of the rains, I turned on the gas heater to help maintain a more stable temperature. I also start with UVB exposure for 1 hour in the middle of the cycle, although I reduce it because I notice a slight fade. I incorporate Bloom Booster in low doses to support the beginning of floral development. ⚡ EC: 1.2 💧 pH: 6.2 🌡️ Water: 21°C 🌫️ Humidity: 65% 💡 Intensity: 700–800 PPFD ☀️ UVB: 1 hour in the middle of the cycle 🔥 Grow note: The first buds are starting to take shape and I adapt the management to this new phase, progressively incorporating Bloom Booster and reinforcing environmental control in light of the rains. We're still growing strong! 💪
