Bread_n_Buds We are ready for our favorite time of the year, which will culminate in a harvest during the ideal autumn/winter window—keeping in mind that autumn lasts a long time in southern Spain.
Starting at Day 6: the first week kicked off with the germination of Tropical Mintz OG F1 HYBRID Auto seeds from Zamnesia Seeds. Both seeds germinated quite rapidly; after soaking in water for about 24 hours, they were ready to be transferred directly into the soil. We placed them straight into their final pots, avoiding the need for further repotting and giving the young plants plenty of room to develop their root systems right from the start.
For the grow, we are using Plagron ProMix—specifically, a substrate that has been recycled and reactivated with Florea’s Myko+ and a "secret ingredient" we’re keeping under wraps, just like grandmas do with their recipes. The goal is to start with a well-structured soil while fostering beneficial microorganisms and robust root development.
Regarding nutrition, we’ve opted for Plagron fertilizers, using Power Roots, Pure Zym, and Alga Grow for the time being to support the plants during their early growth stages.

As for the light cycle, we’re starting aggressively with 23/1—just enough to give the plants a brief rest and allow for foliar spraying away from direct, intense light once the first week has passed.
For the grow environment, we are using the Zamnesia Ecosystem 120x120; it’s proving to be a durable, well-constructed, and high-performing grow tent. Another major plus is the comprehensive accessory kit, which ensures a well-organized setup right from the get-go. Lighting is provided by a 480W Phytonaut LED, while a clip-on fan handles air circulation. Extraction is managed by a powerful 150mm exhaust fan paired with a matching filtration system. A branded filter cover completes the setup—a detail that helps keep the filter clean and extends its lifespan.
PPFD levels are controlled to ensure the right amount of light at every stage, starting around 300 μmol/m²/s; as the vegetative phase progresses, I am gradually increasing this to 600 μmol/m²/s, and eventually up to 1200 μmol/m²/s during flowering with CO2 supplementation—all professionally monitored using a Phantom Photobio photon flux meter.

Over the following days, both seedlings emerged. Being in their very first days of life, they are naturally small, and their development has only just begun. Nevertheless, both appear healthy and in good shape, looking uniform and showing no particular signs of stress.
This first week was therefore dedicated primarily to germination and the start of growth. The two seedlings seem to have adapted well to their environment and are progressing without any issues so far. The combination of the new grow environment, the reactivated substrate, and the nutrient program gives us a solid foundation to start from.
The coming days will be interesting as we watch the first true leaves unfold and vegetative development begin.
