Welcome, my friends, to my new diary! 🌱💚 There is some change in my setup and approach to growing. I am only growing one plant at a time now, and that I'll do inside the VGrow. I am going to sell my AC Infinity tent because of space issues and also my lack of time. I want to commit to this hobby but can only allow myself to grow one plant, instead of three. That's why I am sticking with the VGrow. It's pretty small, exceptionally build and pretty nice to handle. Yeah, there can be a height issues, but I figured it out in the Jelly Donutz grow and will continue with that approach. But that's enough about the setup, let's talk about this grow. I chose the strain High Society from Compound Genetics. It was a really tough choice because I have so many promising genetics from very, very good breeders in the fridge. But since I can only grow one plant at a time, I needed to raffle what I grow next. And originally, the strain Ocean Marker from Robin Hood Genetics (THCTitan) won the raffle, but I wasn't really happy with the result for several reasons: 1. I already grew a strain from titan in my last grow and I really want to try different breeders, too. With limited grows or limited space, I just need to rotate a little bit. Maybe in my next grow I pop another seed from Robin Hood or Square One but for now, I wanted to use someone else's gear. 2. I want to try different types of terpene profiles. Ocean Marker would have been Gas+Candy+Fruit and I already grew this profiles in different combinations (Sour Zoda, Iced Up Cherries, Jelly Donutz..). I know that Permanent Marker and Ocean Fruit are completely different than the strains mentioned, but they're still in the same stratosphere, if you can understand where I am coming from. 3. High Society just was hard stuck in my head since I bought a pack of it. I don't really know why, but my stomach just told me every time: Grow this one next. So I ditched the raffle and just popped a High Society seed! This strain is a crossing of Cookie's Biscotti with Compound's Jet Fuel Gelato. I can expect variety when it comes to phenos, some leaning to the Biscotti and some leaning to the JFG. And that's a win/win for me, because I never tried Biscotti and I never tried a Gelato. And it's something very new for me. Yes, both have gas in them but both are also dessert strains. And I always wanted to try the nutty, buttery, toffee-like Biscotti and also the Ice Cream side of a Gelato. That's why it stuck in my head I guess, because it's just something completely new and exciting for me. The seed opened after less than 12 hours, which was very fast. I planted it inside a EazyPlug, as always and waited for 3 days. The seedling came out of the EazyPlug after just one day and today, the little seedling removed its shell (kinda) and opened up! This grow, I also change some other things up a bit. I will plant the seedling in the upcoming days into a solo cup with BioBizz Light Mix. After approximately 2 weeks, when everything goes well, I will transplant the plant into the 19L (5gal) end pot. My grow of the Sour Zoda inside this bigger pot went so much better than my last three grows inside 11L pots. I think the root zone just needs more space and more buffering soil to tolerate my water, which is very rich in minerals. In combination with the bigger pot, I also use the solid nutrient line from BioTabs! This should also help with the nutrient problems I had during my last three grows. We will see in the upcoming weeks how this new approach performs! Thank you for sticking around, let's have some awesome grows together this year! 💚
