brunoazazel Hello! I'm starting this follow-up on a Sublimator from R-Kiem...
My plan is to plant outdoors, using 100% organic fertilizers, in a 57L pot.
First, I'll move from germination to a 500ml cup, then to a 7L pot, and finally to the 57L one.
The pots are fabric.
The substrate medium is made of 50% blonde peat and 50% black peat, a pretty light substrate with a low moisture retention concentration. I plan to add perlite; when I do, I will also modify the growing parameters by adding perlite.
In this comment, I will also share the products I will be using for this grow.
Starting by saying that all the products I will work with are 100% organic, the brand is called Biofertil Organicos, and it’s from Uruguay.
For the substrate, I will use the mixture of black and blonde peat with added bokashi, bone meal, diatomaceous earth, and trichoderma.
I will use organic preventatives, fungicides, and insecticides.
NPK and PK liquids, for both vegetation and flowering.
Lastly, I will also use cane molasses in the watering, rich in NPK, providing it throughout almost the entire life phase of the plant, and I will also use some liquid guano (this will be from another brand since I couldn't get the same one).
We will also use tools like hydrogen peroxide, distilled water, bottled water, boiled water, filtered water, etc. pH meter, microscope magnifying glass, nitrile gloves, tweezers to transport the freshly germinated seeds, disinfectant, spray bottles, droppers, or syringes; that should cover everything.
For this first week before germination, I left the seeds soaking in distilled water with a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide for 24 hours.
3 days later, they opened up and show a radicle of 0.5cm to 1cm.
Soon, I will move them to 500ml cups; I want to wait for the radicles to develop at least 1cm more, and then it will be time for the first transplant!
Day by day, I will update the information, and I will also title each day with its respective date to keep a more accurate record.

Used 6ml/L of biovege from the brand biofertil organicos.
Day 24: 200ml of solution
(1.5ml of fertilizer/ 250ml of water)
Day 27: pests in the crop! they seem to be thrips.
I used insecticide from biofertil organicos at a rate of 6ml/L.
I foliar sprayed and watered, only 100ml since the plant is very small.

brunoazazel Day 49 since cotyledon, we did the first apical pruning.
We also apply NPK once a week, one watering with fertilizers and another without.
Next week we will also apply molasses in the watering. And for another mix, the preventive insecticide and fungicide.
We also applied diatomaceous earth both on top of the substrate and on the leaves! We sprinkled it and then sprayed with water, the leaves will be white 😜

brunoazazel almost 3 months since germination.
the plant is doing very well, almost doubling in height in just 2 weeks. it measures 1.2m and still has a month of growth left, not counting the stretch it will have when in flower.
very few pests, 99% of the leaves are healthy, strong, and green.
2 days ago I did the second topping, hope it recovers well.
watering: 6.25L NPK 12ml/L
2L fungicide and insecticide 10ml/L
diatomaceous earth in the substrate for pest control.
the leaves were also sprayed with fungicide and insecticide for greater effectiveness.

brunoazazel It's 3 weeks until it stops its vegetative growth and starts to flower with the natural change in photoperiod.
Plant is approximately 130cm in a 40-liter pot.
Defoliation on day 97 of life.
By removing the inner leaves, I allowed greater exposure for all the buds so they can receive sunlight more evenly and develop their buds better.

brunoazazel third apical on day 103.
the NPK dose of 14ml/L continued to be applied.
this will be increased to 20ml and then the concentrations will be reduced again during flowering, thus providing a dose of nitrogen but lower than necessary, also providing the corresponding dose of PK(0-13-14)

brunoazazel Day 126 since germination, high temperature but she's handling it well. I'll start spraying her with preventatives more often before she starts to flower, there's not much time left for the photoperiod change.
Watering with 5 to 10L per day, depending on whether there are humid days or not.

brunoazazel Yellow leaves due to excessive heat from the sun! It's impossible for them not to burn...
We applied biofertilizer preventatives. Presence of thrips.
NPK fertilizer (20ml/L) and liquid molasses (1tbsp/5L)
We spray every day with organic insecticide.
