Let me put it this way: he chose which seed of each strain to drop for this grow.
Grow Room Maria's Micro Meds: CBD strains from Dutch Passion, Sweet & Dinafem
- Thread starter Exotic Flower
- Start date
Subbed for the ride! 
Looking good, Maria! :smoking:
Hoping all goes well
Things going nicely up to this point, thank you!
nice choice of strains,not to many journals on them.
good luck.
Hey @archie gemmill !
The DP Charlotte's Angel and Sweet Seeds Sweet Pure CBD are both new for 2018.
So, prob not many journals on them anyway at this point.
DP does have an Auto version of the Charlotte's Angel which I would have preferred.
But couldn't find it at a seed bank that delivers to where I am. So photo it is.
And now many conversations where I am explaining the ins and outs of cannabis cultivation.
TBH, what I know about this probably freaks a lot of people out, haha.
"How do you know all this stuff?!?!"
"Umm.... personal experience....?"

ahh just new for 2018 that explains why no journals 
Germination!
About 24 hrs after dropping the beans, most had cracked the shell, and a few little white root tips protruding.
I prepped the pots a bit before, and in they went.
I decided on putting the photos in the smaller 1L pots in the end, three of them -- Charlotte, Pure and Strawberry.
And that way all the autos went into the larger 2L pots, four of them -- Honey Peach, Industrial, Skunk and Jackpot.
The soil mix was by far the most sophisticated I've ever tried, going for the all organic.
4 x 2L pots, plus 3 x 1L pots = 11 Liters total.
The pots are semi-air pots, with air slits up the side.
To prevent medium falling out, I first use coconut fiber matting at the bottoms of the pots.
But minus room for the coconut mats, really maybe 10 Liters.
Soil mix:
70% potting soil, German imported, pH 5.8*
15% worm castings
10% perlite
05% hydroton clay pellets, fine
* pH 5.8 may seem a little low for soil, but the chicken shit fert is high at pH 8.5.
This is an attempt to balance. Have used the chicken shit elsewhere, and wasn't a problem.
Plus (approx):
50 g Chicken shit fertilizer (high CaMg)
25 g Kelp meal (lots of aminos and beneficial bacteria)
25 g Mycorrhizae
50 g Bloom fertilizer, local (includes tobacco leaf, bone meal)
25 g Diatomaceous earth
I tried a kind of super soil mix, doing two big buckets with the above.
One bucket was heavier -- more fertilizers
One bucket was lighter -- more perlite, more hydroton, more mycorrhizae
Then I put the heavier mix at the bottoms of the pots, the lighter at the top.
On top of all that, I do a thin layer of diatomaceous earth, and another layer of hydroton.
Keep the tops of the pots dry to avoid the fungus gnats and similar common around here.
I left a little circle in the middle for the seedling without diatomaceous earth or hydroton.
Before planting the seed, I dig down an inch or two in the center and add more mycorrhizae.
Then goes the seed, cover up, and put the little dome cover over top after a light water spray.

Yeah. Hoping others interested in these strains can gather some good info from them.
Assuming that all goes well, that is. Doing photos in 1L pots is rather ... unorthodox... shall we say?
