First and foremost, a huge thank you to Grow Diaries, the incredible community, and all the amazing sponsors that make this journey possible. Big shoutouts to my core supporters: Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix Soil, TrolMaster, ThinkGrow LED, Future of Grow LED, and CannaKan. And for this special Eternity Grow Cup run, Iโm deeply grateful to have Zamnesia and Plagron on board, providing seeds and the game-changing Green Sensation. Your support inspires me to put my all into this grow! ๐
๐ฟ Week 1 Highlights: Slow but Steady Progress
This week has been all about resilience and careful nurturing. Despite colder-than-ideal temperatures, the Zamnesia Runtz seedlings are showing their strength and determination. Hereโs how things are looking:
Environment Stats
โข Daytime Temps: ~18ยฐC
โข Nighttime Temps: ~14ยฐC
โข Humidity (RH): ~60%
โข Root Support: Heating mat keeping the root zone warmer, ensuring the seedlings stay cozy even when ambient temps drop.
Growth Update
โข All five phenos (labeled Runtz #1โ5) have sprouted and are now showing their first leaves.
โข Growth is slow due to the low temperatures, but the Pro-Mix HP with Biofungicide and Mycorrhizae is proving to be an amazing mediumโsupporting healthy roots and steady development.
โข No nutrients yet, just plain water, allowing the seedlings to establish themselves naturally in this excellent soil.
Faith in the Pheno Hunt
Iโm holding onto the dream of finding that special passion-fruit pheno I adored in the past. Itโs still early days, but I believe in the magic of this strain and the promise each seed holds.
Educational Focus: Germination to Week 1 Care
The Importance of Root Warmth in Cold Conditions
Maintaining a consistent root-zone temperature is crucial when growing in a cold environment. Hereโs how Iโve adapted:
โข Using a heating mat under the pots to keep the roots warm while the surrounding air remains cooler.
โข Ensuring the soil stays evenly moist, as dry conditions can amplify the impact of cold.
Minimal Feeding Philosophy
For the first week, I stick to plain waterโletting the soil and its microbial life do the heavy lifting. This allows the seedlings to establish strong roots without risk of overfeeding or salt buildup.
Patience is Key
Early growth may seem slow, especially in cooler climates, but this is the foundation stage. Each small leaf and root is setting the stage for explosive growth in the weeks to come.
Visual Storytelling: A Peek Behind the Scenes
This week, Iโve documented every detail through photos and videos to share the full story:
โข Photos: Close-ups of all five phenos, capturing their early beauty.
โข Videos: A general end-of-week overview and a behind-the-scenes look at my process, shot with my Sony A6000 on a tripod.
โข These visuals not only highlight the progress but also offer a deeper look into the tools and techniques Iโm using.
Looking Ahead: Building Momentum
As the journey continues, Iโm confident these seedlings will pick up momentum. Next week, Iโll be keeping an eye on root development and early veg growth while maintaining the same environment and feeding approach.
Community Love & Thanks
I want to thank Grow Diaries and this incredible community for making this journey so rewarding. To all the participants: good luck, and letโs keep learning and growing together! Letโs make this cup one for the history books.
Stay tuned for Week 2, where weโll dive deeper into the evolution of these amazing plants. Until then, keep growing, keep dreaming, and letโs make magic happen! ๐
