Gorillanonymous mixed 20L of Canna Bio Terra Plus soil, with 1.5L of Westland perlite and 0.5L of Westland vermiculite. I then added 5tsp of Vitax Q4 Mycorrhizal Fungi powder into the mix.
After combining the mixture thoroughly and returning to the 20L fabric pot, I dig a 1cm hole into the soil and drop the seed in, making sure the indented end faces upwards.
During the veg stage, (the first month or so) I will not fertilise the plants at all, as the soil comes preloaded. However I will do the following routine EVERY time I water her, without fail, until flowering. I add these supplements to 1L - 1.5L of water, every 4-5 days, in this order -
Adjust to 23°C
Dechlorinate
Add 1ml per litre Biobizz Algamic
Add 1ml per litre Dutch Pro Multi Total
pH down to 6.1 - 6.4
I added 1 litre to the freshly planted seed, spread around the pot to avoid dehydration of the soil and nasty hydrophobic conditions forming.
Update : She sprouted after 5 days, with two waterings. An easy germination. I gave her another light watering when she popped (only 250ml as the pot is still quite heavy) I'm expecting great things from this award winning strain 💪🏼It's going to be topped and HST'd, and I'm confident she can take it.

Gorillanonymous Day 6 - I gave her a 250ml of treated water (see germination page for details) as the pot is still heavy. I won't start watering heavily until the pot starts feeling a bit lighter.

Gorillanonymous Day 10 - She is developing very fast. Usually the plant is ready for the first topping around day 14, so the fact she is ready on day 10 is a good sign that she'll be vigorous.
I wait for the second node to form, and cut the main stem. This leaves 4 baby shoots, which will now all grow with equal vigour. I'll train them out horizontally and top again in a week or so. See pics for details.
I gave her another 300ml-350ml of treated water (see germination page for details), directly into the main stem, and spread around the pot. The pot still feels quite heavy. I'm going to allow it to dry out a bit before watering heavily, as I want the roots to spread out as much as possible. This will be achieved as the pot dries and the roots seek out pockets of moisture.
She looks super healthy!
