RED HOT COOKIES

grower1212 The last seed germinated about 3 days after the others, but it's already catching up. Once a week I apply inputs and the rest of the days just water. In the second week, I'll transplant to just a 1-liter cup.

grower1212 Yesterday I did the first transplant into a single liter cup. I found a worm, it must be from the compost I add to the recycled substrate, the good thing is that now I can literally say living soil. I added neem cake as a top dress as a pest preventive, insect frass, and malt flour for the microorganisms.

grower1212 Third week without news

grower1212 Today I transplanted the 4 RHC into 3-liter pots, took the opportunity to amend the substrate and apply QUILLAJA to prevent pests. I also applied microorganisms in a drench style, without losing a drop of water. Since they were transplanted on 13-10, they have only been watered with water.

grower1212 Starting the fifth week, no news. There's still a week left before they go into flowering. This week I'm only watering them with water, as the substrate has enough minerals, microorganisms, and organic matter.

grower1212 I didn't take many photos this week, but this was the last one in vegetation. They were already getting stressed out about the space issue.

grower1212 They switched to flowering on 01-11. Now in an 80x80 indoor setup with a 240 light and a 100 ruby that only turns on for 45 minutes during the first and last hour of the day. It has an automatic watering system to keep the substrate moist. The menu for this pre-flower is phosphorus and potassium 🔥 This weekend it's time for IPM.

grower1212 Today, I applied algae extract, pineapple FFJ, silica, aloe vera, coconut powder, and amendments like mm, dolomite, insect frass, and seabird guano. Watering is done without letting water run through the pot; the idea is to keep the substrate moist. I don't have a record of the second week of flowering because I was traveling; that's the advantage of having everything automated.

grower1212 Week 4 in 12/12 I recycle my substrate, so when the temperatures start to rise, the thrips come back to life like zombies 🧟‍♂️ but they're under control with the application of beauveria bassiana, biostimulants, and organic matter. This week it's time for the application of humic acids 🔥 and quillaja extract, which is very popular these days; it's a Chilean tree 😁

grower1212 In central Chile, there's a heatwave where temperatures reach 34°C. The plants are withstanding the heat and low humidity. Watering has been more frequent.

grower1212 Starting week 6 Using full CO2 for the final fattening. With the heat wave we're experiencing, I'll take advantage of it to prepare a KNF input, the FFJ of cherries, beetroot, and apricots to give it the potassium it needs for these last weeks.

grower1212 Personally, I like a middle point between clear and milky for the terpenes. Over the years, I've realized that just like fruit, once the buds are cut, the terpenes continue to mature. Since week 6, I've been watering them with water, and on Sundays, I apply a little LAB. The harvest of some 100% natural buds is coming soon 🔥
