CannaNotion We start a new diary with this new run of Candy House, it's the second time I'm growing it and I'm excited. The last time I couldn't take cuttings and do several crops, but this time we're going to unleash its potential.
📅 On Monday 21/09 I put the seeds to germinate in a glass of water and in 24 hours they moved to a damp paper towel. After another 24 hours, several seeds had opened, but I decided to wait for all of them to finish opening. Again, after 24 hours and after 72 hours from the first hydration of the seeds, they were planted in 1L pots with substrate amended by me. I did a runoff test of the substrate and it came out at 6.5 pH and 0.4 EC, leaving a light substrate to start this run.
🌱It seemed that only 3 out of 5 had germinated, but to my surprise, after another 24 hours, the fourth seed had opened. I left the fifth one in a wet paper towel just in case.
📝Note from 27/09. There are already several plants that have sprouted from the soil, so I believe that starting next week they will all be out.
📌 For now, they will be in the cloning area until they sprout and develop a couple of true leaves. It's still warm around here, but the nights are starting to feel cooler, which is when the lights turn on.
I'll be posting pictures and we can see the progress of this crop together.

🌰 Day 14 since germination in water glass
🌱 Day 7 seedling stage
It's been a full 2 weeks since I germinated these seeds and the final count is as follows:
Candy House 4/5
Grapes 5/5
Lemons 4/5
Runts 3/3
In total, 16 seeds germinated to form a 4x4 in 7-liter or 11-liter pots, I haven't decided yet.
It seems that the reused substrate + the donkey manure amendment is working well, although it takes a bit longer to dry. I think it's because the dehumidifier is keeping humidity at 70-75%.
On October 3rd, they received their first watering. I mixed 3L with 3ml of Roots from Mills Nutrients and 5 drops of Vitalize, also from Mills. Each one received about 100ml of water, without reaching runoff.
Calm week, I only had to put a pencil on Candy House #2 since it was stretching. I turned on the bars of the top shelf of the cloning station, adding an extra light supplement. A total of 80w for the seedling stage.

🌰 Day 21 since germination in water
🌱 Day 7 of the Growth phase.
We started the growth phase
Temperature is still fluctuating around 24-27ºC, as it gets a bit warm during the day and the house isn't cold, but humidity is stable
They have only received one watering on 9/11 and I've started using Calmag in the mix with 2 ml of Calmag, 3 ml of Start-R from Mills, and a few drops of Vitalize, raising the EC to 0.6 with a pH of 6.3. Mixed in 3L and I'm increasing the watering a bit to 150ml for each one.

CannaNotion 🆙 Update 10/18/2026 ()
🌰 Day 28 since germination in water glass
🌱 Day 14 of the Growth phase.
We continue with the growth phase and finally the plants are in their final 7L pots. The transplant was done on 10/17.
The temperature has started to drop, with lows of 19ºC... I need to find the heating mats and set them up, at least to keep the root ball from getting too cold.
Once transplanted, they received watering with just water and a few drops of Vitalize.
The heavier tasks are done, now I just need to water them weekly and in 2 weeks I think I’ll switch them to flowering. I’m not going to do any pruning, to see the plants as they are in their natural form. Although I do want to take at least one cutting from each, just in case we have a unicorn on our hands.
I’m leaving some pics, which are from Sunday 10/18, but I couldn’t update the diary like every Sunday.

🌰 Día 35 desde germinación en vaso de agua
🌱 Día 21 fase de Crecimiento.
En esta semana la evolución tras el trasplante ha sido brutal, sobre todo con las Runts, que menudo tallo llevan.
Seguimos con temperaturas frescas, pero parece que no les está afectando. Ya estan sobre los 400 PPFD y estan desarrollando hojas de abanico bastante grandes.
Han recibido un riego un día y un día no, todos como Start-R de mills, un poco de Calmag y gotitas de vitalize. Hice mezcla de 20 litros y es lo que se han bebido en esta semana.
He quitado hojas de abanico del primer y segundo nudo y en algunas plantas he quitado los brotes tambien. Estoy esperando a que desarrollen bien para sacar esquejes, pero en algunas los brotes de abajo van lentos. Me pide el cuerpo despuntarlas, pero se me puede ir de madre las 16 plantas en 120x120... Así que por ahora esperar una semana más y terminamos la fase de vegetativo, cumpliendo 42 días entre germinacion, plántula y crecimiento.
Vamos a por la 6ª semana, a ver si ya desarrollan los brotes y limpiemos bien los bajos y saquemos unos esquejillos por si acaso.
