RQS Tatanka Pure CBD - Low Budget

Kratomizer They stretched very much under a weak ebay LED Light on VEG + BLOOM.

Kratomizer Installed another and much stronger LED additionally on VEG.

Kratomizer One Tatanka and one NL Auto were put outside to leave more growth space for the other 2 Tatankas. All lamps work on full spectrum VEG + BLOOM now and it causes a rise in temperature. The stems have become much tougher and the additional support needed in week 2 is deinstalled. They grow expoentially now. I do not train in this growth, so everything stays mostly natural!

Kratomizer They grow very bushy bushy and lroduce big leaves. I raised the lights a bit to promote some stretching. Watering is very individual when top soil layer looks dry or leaves start to hang down.

Kratomizer Side branches start to form now. I did take of some bigger leaves and tucked the side branches under the leaves to increasure light exposure. They are not very thirsty and I give each 0,5l of water every 3 days. Kinda surprising tbh. Everything looks good.

Kratomizer Still look good. The fertilzer in the soil still works great, but I will start to add additional fertilizer soon. Humidity is too high, so I put a dehumidifier inside. Starts to smell a bit more.

Kratomizer Plants side branches have been stretching a lot. I had to defoliate since big leaves were blocking a lot of the light. I started liquid organic fertilzer this week to support flower formation. I have some deficiancy or septoria potentially on about 10% on the lower leaves. I will start monitoring soil and water pH from now on. I haven’t done this before. The humidity is still to high and the dehumidifier doesn’t really seem to work properly in my set-up. I keep the doors open during light cycle to increase air exchange. Except for the defiency or septoria (not quite sure yet) I‘m satisfied since it is my first indoor grow. 👍

Kratomizer It‘s hot in Germany right now, but the plants can take it quite well. I tested the soil pH and it shows a value just below 7. For me that is okay. I still find leaves with with dark spots, but I am hoping my new nutrient regimen using BioBizz liquid fertilizer will take care of that. Humidity ist still to high and I don’t know how to lower to avoid mold issues later one. The dehumidifier doesn’t seem to work too good. Next week I will give them more phosphate fertilizer.

Kratomizer Everything is going fine. As my light situation is not the best, the bud formation could be better, but this is just a test run anyways. I do water them a bit less now, 1L per plant every 2 or 3 days. They don’t seem to want more. The Northern Light outside is developing mature buds much quicker than my Tatankas in the small cabinet. I did not find anymore leaves that show signs of pest or deficiency. Maybe the new fertilzer took care of that. Who knows.

Kratomizer Buds are starting to ripe now. Dehumidifier broke, so I leave the doors open and ventilate during photo period. I have many bud sites, bit since I didn’t top, so the buds are very small and the canopy is not even. Will definitely improve this in the next grow. My NL in the backyard is doing great and will have the greatest yield! I‘m using the maximum amount of fertilizer according to BioBizz scheme. My indoor Tatankas still got some deficiencies, but I am not able to identify and it doesn’t seem to spread too fast. Smell is quite pungent and I hope the neighbors won’t get suspicious.. I think they‘ll be ready in 2 weeks!

Kratomizer Everything looks good. Humidity has been way too high. I started flushing the plants.

Kratomizer I will update how mich dry material I was able to get once both plants are harvested, dried and cured.
