Hawii_ReLoaded Heey Growmies and welcome 🤘
Fall comes closer so finally the time has come to start a new journey 😊
Summer was great, only a bit too hot. The jars slowly getting empty, so I’m excited for some new genetics 💪
It’s my second run with Tea Time by Wizard Trees. Definitely in the Top 3 of all my grows! First time Strawberry Lobster, but this genetic is a outstanding work by Cipher with a lot of potential😁
Strawberry Lobster seeds in the pack looked perfectly. Tea Time seeds are light in color with a nice pattern, bought them 2024 at Mary Jane in Berlin, so guess the seeds are already almost 2.5-3 years old.
Tried something new this time for germination and used the CannaKan. Kept the temperature at 23-24 degrees Celsius. Heat mat setting 6 degrees higher at 30. Really cool tool, never had such a fast germination. One seed of Tea Time and two Strawberry Lobster were soaked for 19 hours. Mixed 1/3 tap water with 2/3 distilled water including 2% hydrogen peroxide (3% solution). After soaking removed the water, checked back after 3 hours and suddenly there was already a good sized taproot on two seeds visible. Crazy! Ready for transplanting within 24hours. Only one Strawberry Lobster was ready to transplant after 48 hours. However was more than surprised😁
The seeds were transplanted into the small pots with some Rootwise Complete Microbes sprinkled around the hole. Will keep the temperature now between 25-26 degrees Celsius with permanently lights on until they have broken through the soil surface.
The next update will hopefully include the sprouted seedlings😁✌️
Also next weeks I will provide some details about re-amending the living soil containers, about Tea Time and Strawberry Lobster, the next steps with training during veg stage and some modifications in my grow tents.
Let this journey begin 😎
Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned on the next update 💚🌱

Hey Growmies 👋
All seedlings successfully sprouted. Will start counting the days once all have broken through the soil surface.
Took another 24 hours after transplant until all of them have broken through the soil surface. Used a humidity dome for the first two days to keep the humidity high. Also the lights were on for 24 hours that the seedlings immediately receive light. Low PPFD with 180 for the first two days.
Still surprised how fast the seeds germinated. What I forgot during last week’s update was a small detail which I changed compared to last runs. When seeds are stored in a fringe, bring the seeds to room temperature a day before starting the germination process. Seems logical, but a old experienced friend told me that. Again something learned :)
Seedling soil:
70% BioBizz Light Mix
20% Wormcastings
5% Premium Compost
5% Biochar
Added to the total soil volume of 3.5 liters:
Basalt and Gypsum (1- teaspoon of each amendment)
Watered in with 5% of total soil volume with filtered and dechlorinated tap water. No PH adjustment. This activates the soil microbes and the soil gets alive🤘
Prepared pots were sitting for 7 days at room temperature before the sprouted seeds were transplanted. Sprinkled Rootwise Complete around each seed during the transplant.
Tea Time and Strawberry Lobster looking good, not sure which of the both Strawberry Lobster will make it to the final tent. Will decide by end of next week. They will be transplanted early week 3 to the living soil containers.
Once dry to the touch, I’m watering in small doses (50ml) that the roots actively searching for moisture and without the risk of overwatering the medium. Specially in this stage it’s a high potential risk and slowing down the growth.
Planning to re-amend the soil by tomorrow. Unfortunately, already a week behind, but time is a limiting factor right now. However should not be an issue to have the girls transplanted on time.
Stay tuned on the next update and keep growing💚🤘

Hey Growmies 👋
The little girls looking great and developing pretty vigorously. Really like the strong growth of the larger Strawberry Lobster (middle left). Very promising genetics. She will probably the one which will be chosen for this grow. Tea Time is a little bit behind but she will definitely catch up 😁💪
Still watering in small doses (60ml) every 2-3 days to avoid the risk of overwatering the medium. They really like this small doses and not stopping their growth. They’re getting bigger and almost needed to water them daily over the last days. So it’s time to move them to their final home pretty soon.
Almost a week back re-amended the containers. Kept the moisture level in a medium to lower moisture level during the summer break, but the soil never dried out and the irrigation system was still active. Maintained some airflow in the tent to avoid the risk of mold.
Used following ingredients:
1 1/4 Cups BuildASoil Craft Blend (1 Cup=240ml)
1 Tablespoon (Tbsp) Kelp meal
1 Tbsp Insect frass
1 Tbsp Mustard seed meal
1/4 Tbsp Fish meal
2 Tbsp Malted barley
2 Tbsp Buckwheat crushed
1 Tbsp Basalt
1 Tbsp Gypsum
All ingredients mixed together with fresh worm castings and premium compost (Almicanna). Added also 5% biochar to the total mix. Everything mixed with the existing mulch layer of the living soil containers. Now the soil biology will break the single ingredients down and make everything plant available. Sprinkled some cover crops seeds onto the soil, covered with organic straw and watered in with some goodies. That simple 😊💚
I’m excited and probably moving the plants to their final home within the next days. In the meanwhile cleaning the tent and the water tank. It was really time for a good clean up😂
Stay tuned on the next update and keep growing💚🤘
@JackOfAllTrades, freu mich schon sehr, hoffe auf viele fruchtige Terps 🤩 Tea Time ist sehr fein, bin froh dass ich damals zugeschlagen hab…da war um WT noch nicht so ein extremer Hype 😅 aber kein Wunder da gabs nur 6er Packs…hab auch zweimal überlegt vor dem Kauf 🙈
@Hawii_ReLoaded, Hast dir damals echt die Signatur Genetik gesichert :D Nächstes Jahr muss ich auch auf die Marry Jane. Daumen sind gedrückt für den Terp Fruchtsalat 💚
