GrowerBaal Let's try an original classic. I got these Grand Daddy Purps (feminized) from the original breeder for relatively little money. However, they won't be completely fresh anymore, which is why I got them cheap. Since I had good experiences last time with a hydrogen peroxide mixture for germinating less willing seeds, I mixed 1ml of 12% hydrogen peroxide with 5ml of tap water this time to create a roughly 2% solution. The seed will stay in that for a few hours. This time, though, not 12 hours, but rather 8 hours, since I'm traveling early tomorrow morning. In a 4L pot, there's Plagron Lightmix and some mycorrhiza. Later, a coconut plug will go in the middle on top, where the seed will be buried about 1 cm deep at the end, and then we'll wait. After about 8 hours in the hydrogen peroxide solution, I have now planted the seed. In the end, the usual plastic dome went over the whole thing.

GrowerBaal Day 2 - 4.5 cm Yesterday, she poked her little head out of the soil. Germination took 3 days, which I find remarkable for what is probably older seeds. New seeds usually take three to four days with me as well. It could be coincidence, but so far, the hydrogen peroxide doesn't seem to have harmed her at least. Everything is going normally so far, and she measured 4.5 cm today. Day 5 - 6.5 cm So far, she seems to be doing well, and she measured 6.5 cm today. I'm leaving the dome on for at least one more day so that the second set of leaves can form properly. I haven't needed to water her yet. Day 6 - 7 cm Today, I removed the cover.

GrowerBaal Day 10 - 8 cm You seem to be doing well so far, and I hope the pests don't infest this tent as well. Today, I gave her 140 ml of tap water at 23 degrees. Day 13 - 8.5 cm Yesterday, I gave her 140 ml of tap water. I will probably transplant her over the weekend or on Monday. So far, I've seemingly had good luck with her, as I can't spot any leaf miner trails yet. That will probably change at some point, which is why I think I’ll take a little break after her. Day 14 - 9 cm Today, I gave her another 140 ml of lukewarm tap water. I will transplant her on Monday.

GrowerBaal Day 17 - 11 cm Yesterday, on Day 16, I repotted her. I used Plagron Light Mix in a 20L fabric pot, but in the end, it was a bit too little, which is why the middle around the stem is a bit higher than the rest. But it should be fine. Anyway, this time I mixed 70g of tomato fertilizer into the soil, as I need to find the right amount. So far, other plants showed no signs of over-fertilization with 60g in 15L. I also added some mycorrhiza. And in the end, everything was watered with 6L of tap water, 4L from the bottom and 2L from the top. It seems she handled it well because she looks great today and has even gained some leaf mass, and fortunately, she has also been spared from the leaf miners so far. Day 19 - 13.5 cm So far, she is doing well, and I couldn't find any pests. I will keep her in the tent and switch her to 12/12 soon.

@squalino, I'm not sure about that, could it maybe be a cucumber? I still have to wait a few weeks, maybe I'll recognize it by the fruits.😏

@squalino, Thanks. I just hope that she stays free from the leaf miners for as long as possible.
