Mephisto and Dutch Passion

SpliffyRand After a successful germination process, the four little seedlings are growing steadily. The only one that gave me a bit of trouble was the Headbanger. During germination, it started with its taproot growing upside down, so I had to carefully adjust it. Now it’s the smallest of the group, but it looks like it has recovered from its rough start. I’ll let the Headbanger keep going even if it might end up being the runt of the round. If there’s life, there’s a way, right? Lamp: Set to 25%, 40cm distance Watering: 20 light sprays of water for each seedling every day

SpliffyRand We’re at day 12 now and they’re all still pretty small, especially the Headbanger, just as I mentioned last week. Growth is steady, though a bit slower than expected. Today I gave them their first feeding of BioGrow, around 250 ml per plant. Next time, I’m planning to increase the amount to 1 liter each. I’ll set up the Blumat dripping system and add the BioTabs once they start drinking more. For now, I think the BioTabs would still be too strong for these little ones. Better to take it slow. Light: SANlight @ 40%, ~40 cm distance. Gradually increased from 20% to 40% in week 2 (+5% every 2 days)

SpliffyRand Giving 750 ml last week was too much. Note to self: increase watering in smaller steps next time, about 250 ml at a time. On the next run, I’ll go from 250 ml to 500 ml per plant instead of jumping higher right away. That’s exactly why I’m documenting everything here: just learning and optimizing the small details. But as always, every plant reacts differently, so you always have to adapt. Growing automatics and changing genetics every time makes it hard to maintain a real routine — it’s like starting from zero with every run. Maybe one day I’ll stick to one strain over and over again, but for now, I’m enjoying the process of discovering the world of beautiful flowers and unique terpenes. As you can see, the Forum Stomper × Sour Crack is praying just like the Xtreme Haze, while the other two aren’t doing it in the same way. Maybe it doesn’t even mean they’re unhappy. It could just be genetics. Either way, I know when to water them next. Finding that sweet spot isn’t easy, but screw the sweet spot! It’s Day 19, and these plants are looking pretty damn good. The plan stays the same: -Water when necessary -Aim for a happy, maybe even praying, look a day after giving 1 L per plant, mixed with 1 ml/L BioGrow After that:-Add one BioTab per pot -Install the Blumat drip system -Go fully hands-off -A week or two later: add another BioTab This report was presented by Blue Applez. A nice strain for journaling 👽
