Danylo (I'm growing P&C and ICCF2 side by side, so both diaries will share (copy&paste) some non-strain-specific-information)
Everyone has a different interpretation of what the "Germination Week" means. I've seen some seeds that take more than a week to even break soil surface so for me it is: "The seven days following the seedling break surface."
The lovely people working at Dutch Passion sent me these seeds in context of the "Dutch Passion Growing Competition 2026" and I gotta say: Quality-wise these seeds are among the best I've ever held in my hand. They all "feel" heavier than usual... And I just gotta say: I'm a sucker for strain-specific patterns/colors on the husk! These ICCF2 have the pattern: "no pattern" 💩 ..combined with a specific shade of ochre/brown.
So lets move on from first impression to some actual real life results! :
I let them soak in 0.6-0.7% H2O2 PH7 solution for a little less than 24h. Unusually, they all had their tongue already out when I was putting them in low nutrient soil for actual rooting. And then 2-ish days later they all burst through the soil surface looking for light. All of them. Time between the fastest and the slowest was like 8 hours. Like little bio-robots! 😳
Since then they have almost outgrown their small 0.5L pots during this week. Interesting facts about them:
- While you could easily differentiate them by seed-appearance, the seedlings themselves look almost identical to the Peaches&Cream.
- Quite the elongated leafs for this amount of Indica.
- Fast growing.. ugh I hate repotting 8(
- No freaky growth on any of them. Usually there would be _at least_ one that needs to grow out of some funky broccoli shit.
