21/8 Germ
25/8 6 Out of 6
26/8 Pot transfer in tent -Under "Viparspectra V300" Lights (Was waiting for my Lumatek package)
27/8 Leafs was showing sign of overwatering/too moist from germination unfortunately.
28/8 Slow growth but surely.
👉My second grow, so decided to do some upgrade to my setup.
However my decision to do so, WHILE under the process og germination and start vegetation, would prove not to be benificial for the plants health...
-Lights upgraded from a old "Viparspectra V300" to a brand new Lumatek ATS 300W Pro. (Middle of week 1 veg)
-Inkbird Temperature controller added (Week 2 veg)
-Co2 bag
-Water runoff collection, so i dont have to lift pots (If i choose to Scrog)
I will be doing the same fertiliser schedule.
Biobizz LightMix as soil
Fertilizers: ( i will follow the schedule Biobizz has, but i'll ease into using them, by only doing half dosages to start.
Biobizz Root Juice
Biobizz Grow
Biobizz Bloom
Biobizz Top max
And Flush the two lasts weeks.
Watering and PH:
-Milwaukee PH600 To measure before watering
-Milwaukee EC
-PH Manuel set to measure run-through water
-I will only water when soil is dried out (2-3 days) with 25-33% of the around 10 Liters soil = 250-330 ML
-The water value should be 6.3 PH
-The water with added nutrients should still be 6.3 PH
Climate control:
Two hygrometers, Inside+Outside Tent(For temps and humidity temps)
Humidifier, Outside tent blowing in (Plugged in Inkbird)
Dehumidifier, Outside tent
Dehumidifier, Inside tent (Plugged in Inkbird)
2 Clip on fans (only one in use until flowering stage)
1 Oscillating fan
Inkbird humidity controller (plugged with humidifier and dehumidifier)
Inkbird Temperature controller (plugged with cool-air fan and small dehumidifier(gets temp up&RH% down)
Inkbird Datalogger (Temp and RH%)
Co2 Bag
Week 1 of veg was a tough one.
In the middle of updating my grow tent gear, i stumbled upon hardship with the young ladies.
The first days was with my old LED light, and when i switched to the new light, they suffered from light burn and high temps adjusting it.
They are looking crusty, but we will get through it.
👉29/8 With Viparspectra V300 Lights
👉30/8 Viparspectra V300
👉31/8 Switch from Viparspectra V300 to Lumatek 300W Pro
👉1/9 Adjusting temps, hanging height and applying new gadgets.
👉2/9 First signs of too high temps/light burn. Closely monitering and adjusting to keep temps down.
👉3/9 Solution day, maybe too late. Temps are manageable and lights on low setting for low stress.
👉4/9 Recovery.
Temps: Day 27 - 30 ambient / 21-23 night (Still adjusting climate to the new light)
RH%: 65.5-68.5 night / 68.5 - 71.5 day
PH: 6.3

It's officially week 4 of veg.
What a ride! These ladies DO NOT give up and neither did i.
Second grow, it is a learning curve.
With all the growth stunned, i am a bit impatient.
BUT the good news is the smallest have starting growing again.
Anyways...
👽👉19/9 New automation program for this week. (See pictures for app screenshots for automation and datalogger)
Temps - 21night/29day
RH% - 60RH night / 68RH day
My plan is to decrease the humidity at night, to increase the vpd.
The same goes for my light output and nutrients.
Changing the variables gradually over time.
👽👉20/9 I topped two more plants.
The growth is gradually getting better. They should be ready for their first real feed tomorrow. (Only top fed them last watering)
👽👉21/9 ** First real feed.
-They reacted well to a last lose dose top feeding, so this time i will give them a full feed, but same low dose.
-Programmed new automation based on VPD Graf (see pictures) Set to 1.0 VPD. // Inkbird app, i am adjusting the RH% to the temp in the tent.
-Did some experimental LST on one of the smaller ones.
Dont have a co2 meter, but have co2 bag. But it has not been added as a variable to the climate calculations.
👽👉22/9 The new automation program has proven efficient and working(for now). Now its interesting to see the plants adapting the constant VPD.
👽👉23/9 Did some more LST work to keep the tallest ladies at level.
👽👉24/9 Visiting the ladies and checking up on the lst work. Tucking in leaves, plotting my next move.
*Water day. they shared 5 Liter, where the bigger ones got more.
PH 6.4 - EC 1.52 (Last water was PH 6.4 - EC 1.37)
1.5ml/L Bio heaven+Bio fish. (Next time they will get 2ml/L)
👽👉25/9 Turned up the lights from 75% to 100%. Temps are about to rise higher. might as well let the ladies get used to it.
Start of week 5...
Looking back at the first few weeks of veg, i never imagined that they would thrive this good in week 5 already!
(Look back at week 1+2 for horror pictures)
Whole of week 4 i worked on my climate control automation.
I will keep the set up for atleast a week.
👽👉26/9
Big LST day. I got new supplies to manage the rest of the ladies properly.
Topped another one ( 5/6 is topped)
Cut just a couple of leaves. The crusty ones that did not receive light and the ones casting shadows over my lovely budsights.
👽👉27/9 Waterday* and recovery
2ml/L Bio heaven + fish mix / 6.4 PH 1.68 ECLetting them recover
Humidity a bit higher during night because of watering, turned the temp up to match the VPD.
👽👉28/9 They look content, humidity a bit higher during night because of watering.
👽👉29/9 I am happy how you thrive, but they need some pruning/defoliation as soon as they have recovered from the stress training.
👽👉30/9 Did some defoliation, decided to flip to flower after their recovery.
👽👉1/10 They had a case of empty humidifier, resulting in high vpd for 7hours.
Water day*
2.1xml/L Bio heaven + fish mix / 6.2 PH 1.75 EC
👽👉2/10 They look great, healthy and happy! Climate is back on point
Week 6 of to a good start!
They look happy and healthy. Time to flip to flower soon!
👽👉3/10
Climate is automated and working accordingly to my adjusted VPD settings.
Happy and healthy, actually surprised they've grown so much lately.
👽👉4/10 Waiting for their complete recovery, so they can be flipped to flower (Defoliation the 30/9, im giving them about a week)
👽👉5/10 Water day* Plain ph balanced water.
Need Runoff PH and EC down a little bit.
👽👉6/10 I applied the SCROG net.
👽👉7/10 Doing some minor tweaks to the setup + VPD settings(from 1.0 to 1.1). Approaching the flip to flower, so VPD
Did a bit of defoliation before the flip next week
👽👉8/10
Today, i learned from research on biobizz nutrients https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/biobizz-nutrients-answers-from-biobizz.78899/ (Direct answer from biobizz)
With the answers, my view on feeding biobizz changed a bit, and i was luckily about to switch up the nutes. Good timing.
Waterday*
PH6.2
Introducing Biobizz CalMag(0.5ml/l) + BioBloom(0.25ml/l)+Topmax(0.25ml/l)+Rootjuice(0.25ml/l)
Still 2ml/L Fishmix+BioHeaven(Fishmix will be switched out with BioGrow)
👽👉 9/10 Last day of the week for my plants and last day in veg! They look fantastic and well recovered at lights on! (Look at the before/after lights vids/pics)
Raised VPD by 0.1: VPD settings(from 1.1 to 1.2)
First week of flower👏
They got 2 hours extra darkness before flip. Not because of scientific evidence, but simply practical.
Still looking back to the first weeks of veg. WHAT A MESS and WHAT A MIRACLE 🙏
Coming into flower, they had two defoliation and the latest one was 7/10.
Last feed 8/10 Introducing Biobizz CalMag(0.5ml/l) + BioBloom(0.25ml/l)+Topmax(0.25ml/l)+Rootjuice(0.25ml/l)
Still 2ml/L Fishmix+BioHeaven(Fishmix will be switched out with BioGrow)
👽👉10/10 VPD is 1.2,-1.3. good airflow above and below canopy.
👽👉11/10 Mild signs of light stress. They will get used to the VPD. Can't wait to feed in a couple of days and see the reaction. Im sure they are really hungry!
👽👉12/10 Waterday** Introducing higher doses of bloom nutes. The Run off PH and EC are all within the limits
👽👉13/10 They lit up after some nutes. They look happy! Let the stretch begin
👽👉14/10 Already see fast growth. Just monitering factors, to make sure the climate is optimal and their are no symptoms.
👽👉15/10 Waterday* Thirsty ladies
👽👉16/10 Last day of week 1 of flower. Everything is going fine, Good airflow, None of the small symptoms has gotten worse, so overall happy ladies!
How ever one has a little stunned growth or maybe just a bit behind of going into stretch
Second week of flower, time to stretch!
Im very happy with the outcome so far, it is without worry that some tops are in shadow. Enough tops to go around, have to wait until after stretch to lollipop!
The lady all the way in the back, to the left, has either stunned growth or just slower than the other to go into stretch. However i will just play the waiting game, as i see no symptoms for a problem atm.
Last watering was 15/10
👽👉17/10 VPD is set to 1.2, but because of the function of my dehumidifier, it range from 1.1-1.3.
👽👉18/10 Waterday* They are real thirsty
First signs of pistils have shown!
I upped my nutes from EC1.36 to EC1.66
BioHeaven 2ML/L
BioGrow 1ml/L > 1.5
BioBloom 0.5ml/L >1.5
TopMax 0.5ml/L> 1
Calmag 0.3ml/L > 0.4
👽👉19/10
The ladies love it! Stretching and praying hands!
👽👉20/10
Impressed with the stretching. Not much to report, they just feeling the vibe.
👽👉21/10 Changed the lamp hanging system, to gain some more distance from light to canopy.
👽👉22/10 Thirsty ladies, but since i did not have time to water, i gave them 200ml each to survive another 24hours without feed.
👽👉23/10 Waterday*
I upped my nutes from EC1.66 to EC1.77
added 1ML/L Rootjuice to this feed
Bioheaven 2ML/L
BioGrow 1.5 ML/L > 2
BioBloom 1.5ML/L
TopMax 1ML/L
Calmag 0.4ML/L
Rootjuice 1ML/L
Week 3 of Flower (Day 15-21) Should be the last days of stretch. Hopefully, because the height is limited and i do not want to rethink the top of my growtent.
Beautiful flower development and i have had no problems in flower so far.
I will turn the nutes up a bit, as they have not complained so far.
Furthermore, i will lollipop or make a major defoliation when stretch is done, in order to deal with temp and humidity. (airflow)
👽👉24/10 Praying hands, very happy ladies.
👽👉25/10 I am keeping a close eye to the grow, as i have implemented low-energy-consumption solutions, whenever the price of electricity is higest. Meaning the climate is less steady, in some times on the day.
👽👉26/10 I was supposed to water today, however my schedule did not allow.
They do not have any drooping leaves yet, they will be fine.
👽👉27/10 Waterday* and cleaning up the dead bottom leaves.
Upped my nutes from 1.77 EC to 2.08 EC
Bioheaven 2ML/L > 3
BioGrow 2 ML/L > 2.5
BioBloom 1.5ML/L > 2.5
TopMax 1ML/L
Calmag 0.4ML/L > 0.5ML/L
Rootjuice 1ML/L
👽👉28/10
Upped the nutes quite a bit yesterday, so exiting to see their reaction.
Until now they look healthy and responded well.
👽👉29/10 Amazing development.
👽👉30/10 Waterday*
Ph 6.2 and they shared 12.5 liter
Bioheaven 3ML/L
BioGrow 2.5 ML/L
BioBloom 2.5ML/L
TopMax 1ML/L
Calmag 0.5ML/L
Rootjuice 1ML/L
Start of week 4 of flower!
Off to a troubling start, as the light switched on over 1 hour ealiere than scheduled.
I took a spare timer, and set it up to continue it's 12/12 schedule, but now moved one hour back.
I cross my fingers they forgive me for this error.🙏
👽👉31/10 The day after watering and the day my timer messed up my 12/12 schedule. But hope it brings no problems.
I defoliated lightly and only removed most under the SCROG line.
Even a couple of underdevoloped branches that stretched below SCROG-net got cut.
👽👉 1/11 Been having a battle with humidity after watering, but upped my air circulation to help.
👽👉 2/11 Waterday*
Upped my nutes on BioHeaven, BioGrow and BioBloom.
👽👉 3/11 They seem to be responding good to the upped nutrients.
👽👉 4/11 Humidity under control.
👽👉 5/11 The VPD on point, has really speed up the trichome production.
👽👉 6/11 Waterday*
Stayed on the same schedule, as last watering. They seem very satisfied and no signs of mistreatment.
Welcome to week 5 of flower.
Trichome production and the density of the buds is really starting to accelerate.
My dehumidifier is not stable, so VPD ranges from 1.2-1.4.
I lightly defoliated 31/10 and last watering was 6/11
👽👉7/11 The day after watering and the day my timer messed up my 12/12 schedule. But hope it brings no problems.
I defoliated lightly and only removed most under the SCROG line.
Even a couple of underdevoloped branches that stretched below SCROG-net got cut.
👽👉8/11 Their smell is starting to get more extreme.
👽👉9/11 I removed a bit of the bottom foliage and cleaned up the dead leaves.
It has been really tight around the SCROG net, so it was highly needed for airflow and humidity
👽👉10/11 Waterday*
ml/L change from last watering - to this.
BioHeaven 4 > 4
BioGrow 4 > 2
BioBloom 3.5 > 4
TopMax 1.5 > 4
Calmag 0.5 > 0
Rootjuice 1 > 0.5
👽👉11/11
Amazing growth in thickness and they look alot more frosty today!
👽👉12/11 Same story as yesterday
👽👉13/11 Today should have been waterday, however i was missing some nutrients so postponed till tomorrow

WEEK 6 and i am as impatient as i could be.
This week should be the moment of truth, when it comes to thickness of the buds!
👽👉14/11 Waterday*
I upped the BioBloom and TopMax for PK and less BioGrow for nitrogen.
They are FROSTY as ever! Very satisfied
BioHeaven 4
BioGrow 2
BioBloom 4
TopMax 4
Rootjuice 1
👽👉 15/11
One of the ladies is very hungry and showing signs of needing PK
👽👉 16/11
Atm because the outside climate has a big influence on my indoor climate, lower temperatures at night have been occuring.
Battling the temps by having dehumidifier running with heat
👽👉 17/11 Waterday*
They got same feed as last time, but giving a bit more volume now
👽👉 18/11 Christmas coming early, frosty times
👽👉 19/11 I had some buds that got too heavy and fell over, Fixed with some natural thread to hold them up
👽👉 20/11 Close to getting another SCROG to hold them up, but i think its time for harvest soon
Welcome to week 7! Maybe the last week before harvest, i will keep an eye out for the trichomes in the end of the week
👽👉 21/11 Water day*
They got the same dose as last week, and flush might come soon.
👽👉 22/11 Lower humidity 40-45
👽👉 23/11 I got a cheap Scrog net to support the heavy tops and correct the canopy spread.
👽👉 24/11 Water day* Start of flush
Moved the light a little bit closer
👽👉 25/11 The Frost, The Smell and The Trichomes are telling me, we are getting close to harvest
👽👉 26/11 Changed the humidity to be extra low the last days of their cycle.
👽👉 27/11 Water day* Flushing
Welcome to week 8, their last week before harvest
With extra low humidity around 35-45RH and lower night temps (around 20 degrees), i plan on harvesting later this week.
There are some signs of amber on the trichomes, but they are still mostly milky.
👽👉 28/11 Keeping the humidity and temp as steady as possible for the last period.
👽👉 29/11 Planning to harvest later this week, when the ladies get thirsty.
👽👉 30/11 I plan on harvesting tomorrow or 2/12
They smell AMAZING, with a twist that is hard to describe! Very fruity and sweet in smell
I have been having the humidity very very low the last couple of days, and it have payed off. They are completely covered in trichomes, its hard to even capture on camera.
The ladies are very heavy set, i am glad i installed the second safety SCROG net.
👽👉 1/12 HARVEST DAY
The buds are so heavy, dense and the aroma and fruits notes are out of this world!
Converted the tent to drying tent.
Only one fan (Top mounted, pointing downwards away from the crop, and towards the corner)
Temperature 18-20 Degrees
Humidity 48-54% RH
1st of December harvest
10 Days dry time
31 days in curing phase (as im writing this)
Dry time was 9-10 days (Depending on the size of the buds)
Humidity 51% RH
Temperature 15C
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBNeJTwUOFY&ab_channel=MedicinalGenomics
(Found a lot of good science to back up a dry and cure method)
Curing is still an ongoing process and the bud gets better with time.
But as in now, 31 days later in cure, the buds taste fantastic, smell amazing and the smoke feels smooth.
I am still amazed how the ladies bounced back after a chaotic 2-3 first week of veg. Big thanks to everyone who have been supporting, a very good learning experience.

@Qutro,
Thank you very much for the kind words! If you want to see progress, check out my week 1,2 and 3 (Total disaster, they were not happy about anything)
Thank you for the support!
My friend, what kind of nutrients do you have from Biobizz?
Start feeding with next watering my friend and don't stop , use the half dosages from every nutrient you got , add call mag to your feeding.
Try to keep the temperature at 24-25° at this stage , humidity is ok for now try to lower it in flowering stage .
If you got alga mic mix 2-3ml with 1l water and spray it on your plants 2-3 times a week. 👍🙏💚
@PremiumBudsEU,
Hi my friend,
I have Rootjuice, grow, Fish-mix, bio-heaven, Bloom and TopMax
The reason why i am not feeding, is they had some problems most likely soil with too high nutrients.
And as you can see in my previous posts, they have been fighting.
I dont know if it is time to introduce to nutrients yet, at least not the 3 smaller ones
