Germination
24d ago
Aircoholic When visiting Mary Jane 2026 in Berlin, I also stopped by the Humboldt Seed Co booth - I had a very nice conversation and bought a 3 pack of a different cultivar, also receiving the obligatory free seed, which Humboldt Seed Co turned into this really cool surprise package. The person at the booth recommended this cultivar specifically for pain relief - after some internal debating, I ended up buying a different cultivar, but when opening the free seed and seeing that it is the recommended cultivar, I had to laugh and was quite happy with the universe providing. Very curious how this plant turns out!

Aircoholic This was a difficult germination. The seed took a bit longer than the other parallel grows, when it finally came out, it was still wearing the seedcap, which I helped to remove. Then the seedling was still caught in the protective skin and couldn't open up. So I helped with another operation and a drop of water, to loosen the skin. It then finally opened up and started to grow - but today I noticed, it's not in the best shape - there are a few spots on the leafs, and it overall looks rather small and weak, but she wants to live, and I hope she'll look a lot better in a few days. She's a bit of a problem plant, but I love her anyway, or especially because of that. I increased the light distance to get her around 300 ppfd, so she won't burn under too much light. And of course I crossed a pair of fingers, for good meassure.

Aircoholic After a bit of a rough start with needed assistance in removing the seed cap and the skin underneath, she looked a bit rough around the edges. Now she bounced back beautifully and even though she's still rather small, she's definitely developing nicely and looking really healthy. I've gradually raised the PPFD from around 180 just after germination to about 300 and now that she seems comfortable, I've raised the value to 420 (!) - but I'm observing, if that's too hot for her, I'll reduce it down again.

@TheHumboldtSeedCompany, thank you, for the free seed, the cosmic coincidence (or synchronicity) and the nice comment! 🙏 The start was a little rough, but she'll get there - she's determined, and so am I, after this beautiful story how her and my paths crossed.
