GwJ Community Award Winning Celebration Project 🎉

KilliczGe · January 25, 2026, 10:14am

I thought of something.

When it became known that I would win this award, I thought of something to celebrate and honor it.

The idea of a cultivation in the spirit of the GwJ - Community Awards quickly matured, and I decided to start a duo cultivation.

On one side, I took a Critical Kush seed from my repertoire, which won the award, to cultivate it once again.

The Winner Strain - Critical Kush

On the other side, we have a new generation of cultivation with me, a seed from the prize I won. The choice quickly fell on another Kush strain to give the whole thing a common thread, and I chose Special Kush 1 because it will be a special grow.

The Prize Strain - Special Kush 1

Everything is prepared, and both have germinated within 36 hours.

So, it begins.

Have fun, and thanks again to everyone involved.

That’s awesome, can’t wait to follow along with you.

Critical Kush (already had for a while, still germinates wonderfully.)
Already peeking out

Special Kush 1
Still needs some time.

Edit:
A few hours later, it’s slowly showing itself too.

Nice when everything starts so well.

Thanks so much for sharing this

Posts like this turn a celebration into something bigger: a shared learning moment, a way to make visible the work behind the app, and an open invitation for others to share their own experiences too.

This kind of exchange is what gives the GWJ Community Awards their real meaning; not just as recognition, but as a collective space to learn, connect, and grow together.

Really happy to see this happening here

Looking great !
Looking forward to the development <3

KilliczGe · February 12, 2026, 12:26pm

Today, both received about 12g of RQS Easy Boost Easy Roots as top dress. On top of that, a new layer of soil and mulch.

Each watered with 300ml of water.
From today on, without plastic lids.

Beautiful start

Pflanzenpaul · February 24, 2026, 5:12pm

Yeah, that’s going really well, my friend, is the dimmer still at 30%? Then I’d go up to 40 or more. The leaves are showing

KilliczGe · February 24, 2026, 5:17pm

No idea. The scale is: 0 25 50 70 Max
The dimmer is somewhere in the first third between 25 and 50 %

I raised the light a bit earlier. Now I’ll slowly go higher towards 50

Both 20cm tall.
Light distance adjusted again to a good 40 cm with the dimmer setting described above

Today, some rhizobacter was sprinkled on top and watered in. With water + EM aktiv

BluntForceTrauma420 · February 24, 2026, 5:25pm

I think I asked you before, but what do you use for mulch? I’m using whole straw and I’m getting tired of the mess it makes.

KilliczGe · February 24, 2026, 5:32pm

@BluntForceTrauma420

Honestly, I don’t know if you’ve asked me that before, classic smoker, lol.

I use hemp bedding from pet supplies. For rabbits and the like. My budgies also like it in their cage, but then a finer grade.

I think, hemp for hemp.
I can directly reuse it when I reprocess it. It decomposes slowly in the soil and hopefully aerates it a bit.

BluntForceTrauma420 · February 24, 2026, 5:46pm

Perfect, thank you

KilliczGe · February 24, 2026, 5:48pm

You’re welcome

I’d using straw before and cuttet it smaller .. not comfortable
So hemp bedding

KilliczGe · February 26, 2026, 11:27am

Today, the upper large fan leaves were removed from both (plants) to better provide light to the small shoots.

They should first become nice and bushy.

Whether and when I top or just clip, I’ll decide spontaneously.

Now, let them grow and recover first.

KilliczGe · March 3, 2026, 12:47pm

One would think something has definitely happened.

Let’s see.

First, I bent the tops aside with an LST clip.
However, these ignored the clip and stretched back upwards as if nothing had happened.
So I tied both down.

Additionally, an irrigation aid arrived today.

Otherwise, everything looks pretty good.

Let’s see how I proceed next.

The net is ready.
Maybe all shoots will be topped once.
I’ll think about it

Have fun and stay tuned

The irrigation aid looks interesting. Does it run automatically or does it only serve to evenly distribute the water?
