Hey my diplomat! Thanks a lot for your comment — stick around, I’ll be posting more updates soon.

Yes, that’s exactly what I did! I even used the raffia bag — which I highly recommend — because it helps with aeration, and if water leaks from the bottom, it’s a clear sign something’s wrong. lol It happens…

The soil feels quite loaded. Just this past week I started using it with my bigger plants after transplanting them. I plan to repot the others into the same substrate this weekend.

Here’s the video:
Série: Iniciando meu cultivo orgânico #1

Here are a few pictures of the stored (cooking) soil:


Just a recommendation for now, bro. I can’t say much yet — I still need more evidence. But so far, it’s working!

If you have any questions, drop them here and let’s chat! :wink:

Aquele abraço!

Boa Craudiao! To aqui acompanhando. Essa bag pra curar o solo é perfeita. Cobre bem a parte superior pra evitar infestação de gnats. Eu vacilei nessa parte e tô aqui na luta com as moscas. Tmj!!

Salve meu mano, valeu mesmo pelo comentário, acredito que vou levar até o começo da flora, até lá já espero estar com uma estufa adicional.

Hey bro, thanks a lot for the comment! I think I’ll keep it there until the start of flowering — by then, I hope to have an extra tent set up.

Salve meu mano, valeu demais pelo comentário. :joy: Essas coisas fazem parte do jogo… Agora é apelar pras armadilhas amarelas, jogar uma terra de diatomáceas, manter o solo mais seco, ventilador batendo firme e, se der, cobrir o solo por uns dias. Chato, mas faz parte do corre!

Hey bro, really appreciate the message! :joy: These things are part of the game… Now it’s all about yellow sticky traps, a good layer of diatomaceous earth, keeping the soil drier, fan blowing hard, and maybe covering the topsoil for a few days. It’s annoying, but it’s all part of the hustle!

Que honra Kodama, acompanho seu cultivo, um MONSTRO DO CULTIVO, mal posso esperar para ver o que sai das sementes desse macho Pablos gold, você é muito fera. Muito Obrigado pelo comentário :nerd_face:

Such an honor, Kodama! I follow your grow — you’re a beast! Can’t wait to see what comes out of those Pablos Gold seeds. You rock. Thanks so much for dropping by!

Thanks for the kind words brother! truly means a lot! I’m just another guy always learning. If everything goes smoothly this run, I’ll send you some beans to try out once they’re ready, if you’re interested. Much love, appreciate! :space_invader: :heart_hands:

Man, thank you so much! I’m truly honored by your offer. And absolutely, I’d love to try those seeds once they’re ready! Wishing you the smoothest run possible with your grow.

:brazil: What’s up my diplomats, all good?

Here’s the latest grow update — I’m super excited for the next few weeks.
Let’s get to it:


:brazil: Grow Updates

  • July 23, 2025
    My pH meter arrived. After calibration, just like my buddy @FishWhistler pointed out, the pH was a bit off. I also got some pH down, and now I’m watering with water adjusted to around 6.5.
    Result: all the plants started showing much better growth, and the two that were struggling are now clearly bouncing back. Huge thanks @FishWhistler!
    Plants 1 and 2, which were moved to bigger pots a week ago, are looking way better now.

  • July 26, 2025
    I transplanted plant 3 into a bigger pot. Since the move, it’s shown clear improvement. With a richer soil mix, it should thrive even more now.


  • July 28, 2025
    Before lights out, I applied a preventive spray made of water, andiroba oil, and potassium silicate to protect from pests.
    Also did a TOP cut on plant 3.


At sunrise, the girls looked beautiful! Some of them have droopy tips because the photo was taken before watering.

Hey everyone, how’s it going? Sorry for the long silence. In the meantime my server crashed and I ended up losing most of the data I had logged for this grow. Honestly, it bummed me out and I stopped posting here for a while… my bad!

But now I’m getting everything back on track. I bought a bigger tent (80x80) — although my cats think it’s their personal scratching post :joy: (I’m already working on that issue). Right now I have two tents, but only one LED, so for now I’ll just be running this single setup until I can grab another light.

The plants are looking beautiful, already in 17L pots and ready to flip into flower. The plan is to change the photoperiod next week, as soon as my new exhaust fan and another circulation fan arrive.



Meanwhile, I also got lucky: I joined a few giveaways here on the forum, won two or three, and was gifted some amazing seeds by my buddy @Highnrich for my next hunt. So far, those are the only ones I’ve received, but I’m waiting on the others.

  1. Bubba Kush x Cartier OG
  2. Bubba Kush x Chocolate Rain
  3. 9lb Hammer x Chocolate Thai
  4. Secret Chief F2

Please let me know if I wrote something wrong, I had a bit of trouble understanding some letters, I’m sorry, hahaha.

Now I’m stuck with some indecision… do you guys have any suggestions on which strain I should start with? They all look excellent, and I’m super hyped to get going. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

What was your experience with Jinxproof? I had my eye on that bank for quite a while, but eventually gave up. Very few banks deliver to Brazil, and Attitude had limited options, plus money was a bit tight (lol). Still, I plan to get it one day.

Can I ask you, if it’s not too much trouble, who the breeders/chunkers are for the other strains? I tried looking them up on Seedfinder, but a lot of them have more than one option.

Sorry for bombarding you with questions, I just spend hours reading about strains — it’s really a subject that fascinates me.

I’d go with Secret Chief, i really like this Bodhi cross, or the Bubba Kush x Cartier OG. But honestly, solid strains all around, any of them should be fire.

Jinxproof is a really Solid breeder, He got some of subcools gear and think He worked with him and subcools is a True legend.

Secret Chief (Bodhi)
9lb Hammer (Jinxproof)
Cartier (Aficionado)
Chocolate Thai (Snowhigh)
Chocolate Rain ( Eskobar)
That bubba Kush was Sold to me as the pre 98 cut but it seems its not THE ORIGINAL so sadly i dont know exactly but it was a good cut.

Youre welcome to question me everytime :v::melting_face:

What’s up, folks! :wave:
Here’s a quick update on my ladies :seedling::sparkles: They’re now on their 8th day of flowering, and honestly, they’re looking really beautiful. I’m pretty happy with how things are going so far.
What do you think? Any tips or things I could improve at this stage?
