Hey everyone, starting my next adventure.
I’ve been searching for A5Hz S1 for quite a while, as I’ve missed the Karma/SHC drop at the time. Fortunately, @Oldman Green was kind enough to trust me with a few of his last ones. Very thankful to you mate, appreciate the opportunity and I’ll try to do them justice!
Starting with 9 seeds straight to jiffies, the germination rate was perfect and in less than 48h 9/9 out. They were on the slow side taking off, and I’ve ran into a few scraggly things:
As you can see, the response from the motherplants post re-potting wasn’t the greatest. Slight stress, which is already fading away as they acclimatize. It seems light mix plus a very light blend of organic amendments was too heavy on them. They are very particular about growing conditions, safe to say that already. I’ll be adjusting as I get to know them and even be more cautious.
The cuttings took longer to root than expect, in an adequate environment. Around 12 days to show little root tips. A couple didn’t root in time, so I’ll be doing them in a future cycle.
Sent them all directly to 12/12 as I’ve little headspace for this test-round.
At the same time I was (attempting) to germinate a batch of Nanda Devi from Angus out of RSC, though I failed big time. It was a first one to fail for me in these proportions. Unfortunately I could only get a single seedling to pop out of a 29 batch. After sitting on my preservation fridge for a few months, I decided to give them a go and did the same brainless approach that always yields me the best results: either straight to jiffies or light clean soil, whichever closest. I went with jiffies this time, but fuck did I mess it up. I’ll say I’m not used to germinating seed lots with feral traits (first time doing var. himalayensis), perhaps I should I rinsed them with a hydrogen peroxide solution, sanded them a bit to help with the though shells, freeze them first, but I really didn’t feel like babysitting them too much… as I never do and I’m pretty happy about germination ratios around here. Turns out most probably I fucked it up here.
Let’s all hope she’s a solid female. Massive longshot.
Until the next time, have fun.

- #9 never really took of (she’s currently a stunted 10cm pet, will it grow out of it… who knows?)
- #8 and #5 are borderline runts, while others show a few “off” traits
