The paper-towel method works perfectly for these feminized seeds.
Place seeds between damp (not soaked) paper towels
Sandwich them between two plates to retain warmth and darkness
Maintain ~70–75 °F
Once taproots reach ½ inch, transplant root-tip down about ½ inch deep ⚠️ Avoid sealed plastic bags, ventilation prevents rot.
Week 1: Seedling Stage

Light: 18–24 h cycle at low intensity (24–30″ away)
Humidity: 65–70%
Temp: 72–77 °F
Lightly mist soil — avoid overwatering
Provide gentle air movement Healthy seedlings will have bright green leaves and upright stems by the end of the week.
Week 2: Early Vegetative Growth
The first sets of fan leaves expand and roots anchor strongly.
Begin LST (low-stress training) to spread growth
Feed ¼-strength veg nutrients
Humidity: 60–65% Temp: 73–78 °F
Water slowly around outer root zone Balanced growth now creates a strong base for flowering.

Increase feed to ½-strength nutrients

Week 4: Pre-Flower Transition
The plant is preparing to bloom.
Defoliate lower leaves for airflow
Reduce humidity to 50–55%
Keep temps steady at 72–78 °F
Transition to bloom nutrients next week
Switch to 12/12 lighting indoors Small white pistils will appear. The flowering phase is beginning.
Week 5–6: Flower Initiation

Light: 12/12 cycle
Humidity: 45–50% Temp: 70–77 °F
Switch to bloom feed (high P & K)

Week 7–8: Bud Formation

Humidity: 40–45% Temp: 68–75 °F
Keep consistent bloom feeding

Week 9: Ripening & Flush
Time to flush and prepare for harvest.
Use pH-balanced plain water for 5–7 days
Temp: 65–70 °F RH: 35–40%
Watch trichomes: mostly cloudy with some amber
Harvest when pistils are 70–80% darkened Expect dense, frosty nugs with an incredible sweet-fruit profile.
Harvest & Curing
Dry: Hang buds in dark space ~60 °F / 55% RH for 10–14 days
