Sep 2026 — Sweet flurry by Selfie seeds +5 more

11 days post-transplant 🌱 Selfie Seeds ladies are filling out

Day 33–42 of veg, and these girls are loving their new 5 gallon homes. Living soil, Gaia Green amendments, worm castings, rock dust, and they took off. Roots ran so fast I skipped the 3-gallon step entirely and went straight from 1-gallon to 5.

Topped early, some LST to open things up, and the canopy is getting wide and even. Holding VPD around 1.0–1.2 under the AC Infinity setup, temps sitting in the low-to-mid 70s with RH in the low 60s.

Taking clones from everyone before the flip. Quality over quantity, always.

Next up: a little more veg, clones, then into flower. 💚

It’s been a week, good and bad since my last post so here’s the update. Today was the big move. 5 of the 6 girls went from their 1 gallon square pots into their final 5 gallon fabric pots. It’s crazy that I had to transplant them again only 12 days after the first one. Running the slurry test was a good move, but skipping the amendments based on it wasn’t. If I’d added even 2 tbsp per gallon to the reused soil, these girls would have been fine. Not making that mistake again!

SGC: Day 31 of veg, day 8 since topping, transplanted today
GFL: Day 31 of veg, day 8 since topping, transplanted today
SBS: Day 31 of veg, day 8 since topping, transplanted today
MMB: Day 30 of veg, day 8 since topping, transplanted today
SWF: Day 27 of veg, day 8 since topping, transplanted today
BBS: Day 22 of veg, day 1 since topping, staying in her 1-gallon for now

SWF and MMB were the biggest and hungriest of the group, and they had the most deficiencies. They were clawing, drooping, and getting super pale yellow throughout the plant. SWF was the worst. They’d outgrown their pots and were in dire need of nitrogen. The roots really were as aggressive as I thought back when they were in the clear solo cups.

SGC and GFL were the two looking the best. Both were green and healthy, so they didn’t really need the transplant yet. Since I was already transplanting SWF and MMB, I decided to do everyone except BBS.

SBS fell behind because I overwatered her after her first transplant, then watered again before she was actually ready. When I slid her out, the roots were wrapped around the bottom, but the soil wasn’t soaked. Her roots at the bottom weren't the fresh white color that I am used to. They were white in the middle and top but the roots wrapped at the bottom where like an off white color. She wasn’t a weak plant. I stunted her. Now that she’s in a bigger pot with fresh soil, she should bounce back.

BBS is a super resilient gal. When I moved her into the 1 gallon square pot, her root ball crumbled. Instead of freaking out, I just planted her, and she didn’t show a single sign of stress. BBS finally got topped yesterday. I’m keeping her in the 1 gallon so she can recover and fill out her roots while the others take off. With everyone topped now, the canopy is set up to grow flat and even.

Soil Recipe
4 gallons reused soil
1 cup Gaia Green (¾ cup 4-4-4 and ¼ cup 2-8-4)
3 handfuls of worm castings

Transplant Water, per gallon
Silica: 2.5 mL (added first)
CalMag: 4 mL
Roots Excelurator: 1.1 mL
Recharge: ½ tsp
pH: 6.2

Watering
SGC: 800 mL
GFL: 800 mL
SBS: 600 mL
MMB: 800 mL
SWF: 800 mL
BBS: None yet. She gets plain water tonight when the lights come back on.

SBS got less because too much water is what held her back. I poured mostly around the edges so the roots have to reach out.

Environment
Lights off: 70–72°F and 55–60% RH while the roots settle.
Lights on at 6 PM: Dimmed to 40–50% intensity, around 300 - 320 PPFD, light at 18 inches. Targeting 76–79°F and 58–63% RH.

Since I went with 5 gallon pots instead of 3 gallon, I’ll only fit two plants per tent when I flip to flower. I only have two 4x2 tents set up, so I’ll flower 4 of the 6 first: SGC and GFL in one tent, MMB and SWF in the other. SBS and BBS will stay in the closet setup until a tent opens up. Once everyone recovers, greens back up, and looks right, I’ll take clones from each of them.

No water for 4 to 7 days, until the pots feel light when I lift them.

Some shots of the girls individually.

It's been a minute since my last post, so here's where these ladies stand. All five toppable plants got topped yesterday and transplanted into 1 gallon square pots 5 days ago.

SGC: Day 24 of veg, day 1 since topping, day 5 since transplant
GFL: Day 24 of veg, day 1 since topping, day 5 since transplant
SBS: Day 24 of veg, day 1 since topping, day 5 since transplant
MMB: Day 23 of veg, day 1 since topping, day 5 since transplant
SWF: Day 20 of veg, day 1 since topping, day 5 since transplant
BBS: Day 15 of veg, not topped yet (late starter, still catching up)

Soil & Feeding
I reused soil I had from a previous run for this transplant. A slurry test showed enough nutrients in the mix to carry them through the first 2½ weeks. I worked a handful of worm castings into the soil before each transplant then I watered each plant with 400 - 600 mL of Recharge and silica.

Defoliation
I pulled some of the large fan leaves to open up light to the lower shoots ahead of the next transplant.

I'm skipping the 3 gallon and going straight to the 5 gallon. The root growth in the clear cups was aggressive. Within 24 hours of this transplant, the roots had already reached the bottom of the square pots. These girls are ready for room to run.

Everyone's canopy looks healthy and stacking nicely. SWF is the stretchiest of the group, and MMB and SGC are filling out the widest.

So far the ladies are moving along great. I've been feeding them silica and Roots Excelurator. Right now I've got 3 girls on day 15 of veg, 1 on day 14 of veg, 1 on day 11 of veg, and a seedling on day 6.

Environment has been on point. Lights on: 76–78°F, 60–65% RH. Lights off: 68–70°F, 45–50% RH. Light is 18" above the canopy at 30% intensity, putting out about 375 PPFD in the middle.

Here are a few shots of each girl's root zone. Grape Gas has the craziest roots out of all of them so far. Everyone's looking healthy and thriving.

Sugar Cane (SGC) — Day 12

This girl is an absolute unit. Widest canopy in the tent, three nodes deep, and she's already throwing 5-blade fans at day 12. Fat leaflets, thick stem, tight internodes, and that bright lime new growth stacking up top. Look at her from above and she's perfectly symmetrical. Couldn't ask for more.

Grape Gas x Fruity Loopz (GFL) — Day 12

She's my tall girl, reaching for the light with a more open frame, and she's still hanging onto her cotyledons like a souvenir. But the real story is underground: roots are running all the way down the cup wall. She's the most rooted-out of the whole crew and she's ready to go.

Strawberry Sugar (SBS) — Day 12

Sativa leaning hard with those narrow, deeply serrated leaves. Three nodes stacked tight, and from above she makes a perfect little star. Clean color with zero tip burn, and roots are already hugging the cup wall. She's filling her space fast.

Miss Mary Black (MMB) — Day 11

Total indica energy: short, stocky, and built solid. Broad leaves, tight structure, two full sets in with a third on the way. And here's the best part: flip a leaf over and the undersides are already purple. Her genetics are showing off early, and I'm here for it.

Sweet Flurry (SWF) — Day 9

Little stretchy, but she's standing tall and proud. First true leaves are wide open and the next set is unfolding bright lime green right out of the center. Cotyledons are still on duty. She's doing her thing.

Blueberry Sugar (BBS) — Day 5

The baby of the bunch is right on schedule. Cotyledons are open, her first true leaves are out with clean serrations, and there's a little purple tint on the stem already. Small but mighty.

Living soil. Feeding silica and Roots Excelurator every other watering, alternating with plain RO water. All six look great, with no stress, pests, or deficiencies. SGC, SBS, and GFL are leading the pack, and with roots already hitting the cup walls and and down at the bottom, those three are first in line for transplant.

Day 8 for Strawberry Sugar, Sugar Cane, and Grape Gas x Fruity Loops. All three are settling in nicely, with their first sets of true leaves out and looking healthy. Miss Mary Black is right behind them on day 7, and Sweet Flurries is on day 4.

This round hasn't been perfectly smooth. I had to replace both Sweet Flurry and Blueberry Sugar. The good news is that the new Sweet Flurry is doing well. Blueberry Sugar is still germinating. I sowed her directly into the soil this time, so she's on day 2, and now it's just a matter of patience.

The highlight of the week is Miss Mary Black. Right underneath her first set of fan leaves, she's showing purple. In all my years of growing, I've never seen that at this stage. It's the kind of early surprise that makes you pay a little closer attention, and I'm curious to see how that color carries through as she develops.

More to come as the ladies grow. 🌱

Miss Mary Black

Today officially marks day 4, and we have four that made it. Blueberry Sugar and Sweet Flurry didn't. That one's on me. There was too much moisture in the soil and the taproots couldn't breathe. It's a lesson learned, and I'm keeping the moisture in check going forward.

The other four are up and looking healthy. Most have opened up and started greening, and one is a little slower but making progress. I replaced the two that didn't make it yesterday, planted straight into the soil this time. Hopefully they pop in the next few days and we're back on track.

Day 2 – Germination & First Hiccups

Update from the tent: 5 of 6 seeds have now broken the surface, with Miss Mary Black still holding out no surprise there she was the only one without a visible taproot at planting, so she's just running behind the pack.

I noticed some white, web like mycelium threading through the topsoil near a few of the cups, including right where Blueberry Sugar is emerging.

The main thing to manage today: 3 seedlings are dealing with "helmet head" the seed casing still capping the cotyledons as the stem stretches up. Going to let the humidity domes do the work of softening those shells and let them shed naturally before considering any manual intervention. Patience over intervention for now.

Overall a solid day. Germination rate is strong, soil biology looks alive, just working through the normal early hiccups.

September 7th: Soil Build
Mixed my soil base using Pro-Mix, amended with Gaia Green 4-4-4, worm castings, and rock dust. Watered in with 6.2 pH RO water and let the soil sit and activate for 10 days.

Seed Prep & Planting
Soaked seeds in a water/peroxide solution for 48 hours 100% germination rate, every seed popped a healthy taproot. Planted directly into solo cups yesterday.

Soil's cooking, seeds are in cycle's officially underway.
