HOW TO PLANT SEEDS & BRICKS
The CannabiSL Team spends a lot of time in the greenhouse testing and tweaking our products, and trust us, after germinating a few hundred seeds, we notice some things...
When you first plant a CannabiSL seed, simply place it on top of whatever substrate (ground, pot, or Grow-Lite system) you choose. Based on our experience, we strongly recommend that you use a raised planter of some sort. You can design your own planter or use the FREE GIFT included in this newsletter. Of course the CannabiSL Grow-Lite systems provide both a raised planting bed and the light source needed for optimum growth of indoor and indoor/outdoor plants.
If your newly-germinated seedling is hovering slightly above the substrate surface, that's okay. In most cases, the "gap" will become less noticeable as the plant grows and takes root.
At the end of the growth cycle, harvest your bricks. You should notice the bricks are embedded slightly into your planting surface. If you germinate these bricks in place, your new seedling will occupy exactly the same location as its mother.
If you need to move your brick or take it into inventory, just "eyeball" how far it extends into the surface and try to duplicate that location when you do plant the brick. (Basically, embedding the brick slightly less than halfway into the surface is ideal.)
This picture shows a properly embedded seed brick and a first-generation seed ready to germinate:
When using a raised planter or Grow-Lite system, if you cannot locate a brick after harvesting (or the timer expires on a flowering plant), just move the planter aside. Odds are the brick will be there -- you simply planted the mother plant a little too deep!
NEW COMPACT GROW-LITE
There's now an alternative to the large Grow-Lite system included in the CannabiSL Starter Kit! The Compact Grow-Lite is a lower-prim system with room for up to four indoor-type CannabiSL plants. The circular design fits nicely in corners, so it's ideal for apartment dwellers or others with space limits. Available only at the in-world store.
If your plans involve selectively breeding the larger, indoor/outdoor strains, you'll like the standard Grow-Lite included in the Starter Kit. We routinely cram 5-8 plants in these beds, no problem. Plus, the larger Grow-Lite includes a color selection menu to coordinate with the rest of your decor. Remember, the Starter Kits represent a significant savings over buying a Compact Grow-Lite, 12-pack of mixed seeds, and a pack of Plant Food Spikes.
ABOUT UPDATES
The CannabiSL Team is committed to continually improving and enhancing our products. Rest assured that your CannabiSL accessories (Plant Food Spikes and Grow-Lite systems) will remain fully compatible with future seed versions. If we add a feature to an accessory you already own, we will exchange for the newer version, no questions asked. And if you have unused seeds from an earlier version and wish to exchange them for the newest release version, just contact Djeaux Farrasco, Gloria Delicioso, or BlueNote Cyberstar for assistance.
The newest versions of everything will always be available at our in-world store before they're put on Marketplace, and we will be offering some limited edition seeds and accessories at the in-world store or affiliate vendors. So keep an eye on notices and group chat!
COMING SOON!
CannabiSL version 1.20 was released several weeks ago and features unique foliage colors for each variety of plant as well as simplified transplanting. The CannabiSL Team is already busy finalizing version 1.21, which will include an enhanced menu communication system, an 8-hour feeding period with feeding times displayed in each plant's hover text, and a very special "ultra" mutation. Like our previous updates, version 1.21 will be fully backwardly compatible with versions 1.11 and 1.20. We're shooting for a Super Bowl roll-out for the latest and greatest, so keep an eye on this space!
Happy growing!
