After ensuring a clean and prepared environment, along with the selected fertilizers, I submerged the 9 seeds in a glass of water, positioning it in a warm area for 24 hours. Following this crucial step to hydrate the seeds and soften their shells, I transferred them to moistened kitchen paper, which I placed inside a container. Once more, I left them in a warm location and witnessed a 100% germination rate the following day. Employing this method, coupled with the assurance of Sweet Seeds® seeds, renowned as the best in the market, guarantees success. At most, one might need to exercise patience for an extra day, but ultimately, every seed sprouts.

The plants were transplanted into 1/2-litre pots in just over two days, exhibiting robust development for approximately 12 days. At this juncture, I transplanted them into 20-litre pots and completed the whole cycle.

By the 25th day, the plants showcased a luxuriant development, with an intense green leaf color, though not overly dark. Throughout this phase, the EC levels never surpassed 1.2. In each watering session, maximum doses of root stimulator were provided, A+B was supplied in the mildest dosage, and a specially formulated Boost for Coco was also used. Alongside these measures, there was a weekly application of potassium soap to ward off pests, effectively catering to the needs of this splendid strain from the Sweet Seeds® genetic collection during the growth period. The initial pistils were already appearing, signaling the onset of the pre-flowering phase.

At this stage, the intensity of the LEDs was increased, transitioning from 30% to 60%. Simultaneously, the extraction flow was also augmented, considering that increased foliage implies higher CO2 demand. Temperature maintenance was meticulous, consistently falling within the optimal range – between 19 ºC with the lights off and 25 ºC with the LEDs on. The entire experience unfolded with a light cycle of 18/6, from germination to harvest.
