D15.
The third week of veg starts, and all is well in the tent. She is 11 cm tall and 17 cm across so she is definitely out of the seedling stage. I turned up the light to read around 350 PPFD at canopy level, which translates to a DLI of 25. I also decreased the Inkbird controller to 75% RH (+/- 2%.)

There isn't much to report as I'm still waiting until she is big enough to start training. I adjusted the Inbird and dropped the humidity in the tent to 66% (+/- 2%.)
I also fed the worms yesterday with some leftover lettuce that I chopped up really fine and tucked under the straw mulch. Gotta keep my worm buddies happy and well-fed.

It's been five days since I put the alfalfa seeds in water; today, they had sprouted enough. I threw the sprouts into a blender with some water and blitzed everything into a slurry. I added humic acid at half-strength to the slurry and then gave her around 500 ml slurry @ pH 6.9. A bit higher than I would prefer, but good enough when you're lazy like me.
I also turned up the light to a DLI around 32.
I already notice a smell when I open the tent, even though we still are far from flower. I'm not sure if it's the Gorilla or the Purplematic, but based on my experience in growing CBD strains, my money is on the Purplematic girl.

We're at the end of the third week of veg, and everything is rocking along in the tent.
Today, I decided that she was old enough to be tied down, so I started the LST. She also got a fulvic acid foliar spray just before lights out.

@kohlrabi, You have the Blumat Classic, as do I, but for my house plants. They work great but deliver too little water for a large plant such as a cannabis plant. I'm using the "Tropf-Blumat"system (https://blumat.com/en/tropf/das-tropf-blumat-system/vorteile) as it allows for much larger volumes of water to be distributed.
BTW, "Tropf" is German for drip.
@love_2_grow, I do have blumat at home, just the simple one, where you have some water in a small vessel next to a plant. Its that the one your are using?
@Anonymous_2022, Yeah, we'll see how she will turn out. On one hand, she is much smaller than the Purplematic in the same tent, but on the other hand, she is bigger than the white widows I grew in the tent previously and they had a massive yield.
So schön! Immer super Tagebücher, hilfreich und Inspirierend
Das Pilzzucht-set lässt du immer hängen oder wird es irgendwann verarbeitet und dem Substrat zugefügt?
@Grow_with_Cookie, Thx buddy! I will leave the kit hanging in the tent until I have harvested all mushrooms. Then I'll chop it up and add it to my soil.
Nice, nice. For them 2 grow that tall. Are you leaving them not under a light until they pop.. they usually go like that when they searching for light? Or they grow like that with light?
@gottagrowsometime, I had them under a low-powered light for the first couple of days, but they have since moved into the tent and are underneath the Kingbrite light.
This is a sign, you are my second diary check and I just wrotte : I think I will switz to T.A. I was reading quickly their website, Pro organic, seems great 😛
@love_2_grow, oh you will love my friend! I use the entire TA Tri-Part in DWC, and now the TA Pro Organic in the soil pot, man they never let me down been using is for years as GHE, then TA. the PH is always in control, and easy to test with the GHE chemical PH test, and you dont have to worry about adjusting the measurements, as the bottle's directions have always been very true for cannabis, even for autos! I mainly grow FastBuds, but am excited to see how RQS takes the nutes!! will follow along.
