Welcome to my first journal ever.
Little info about soil prep: I'm experimenting with biobizz light mix amended by Guanakalong complete organics, worm castings and dolomite lime. Upper half layer of soil is only light mix and little bit of dolomite lime. That's because soil from the bag only had like 5.7 ph.
I let it cook for about 3 weeks with dechlorinated tap water.
As soon as my Cream Mandarine Xl seeds arrived i put them into glass of water for 24 h period. After that paper towel method was used for another 24 h, during this time first tap roots appeared so i transplanted them into final pot. 3/3 seeds sprouted in total time of 3 days. Last (fourth) freebie seed germinated aswell with +- 12h delay but i had no more free space anyway. So overall 100% succes rate is a great start!
This first week is my SF 4000 running 1/3 of its power 60 cm far from the tops.
Since i pre-watered my soil via cooking/planting and seedlings dont need too much water i only lightly sprinkled top soil with dechlorinated tap water and biobizz root juice in it.
There is not much to do atm. I'm only trying to maintain proper conditions like temperature/humidity/air flow while the girls do their own thing.
As soon as week 2 started i increased my SF 4000 lights to 40% power.
She barely needs any water thus far. Growth is nice and vigorous but not much to do still.
This week i started LST and also first pistils showed.
I've been slowly increasing power of my SF 4000. We're at 50%.
Ph of soil started dropping on quite acidic levels so i decreased supplements used for watering.
Last week i saw first pistils coming out so this is oficially begining of (pre)flowering. SF 400 lights are currently running at 60 % of its power.
I reamendment my medium which increased ph from too acidic side to above neutral. Because of that i water with more acidic water to stabilize medium's ph.
