So this is my first diary and my first grow with seeds.
This will be a 6 strain multigrow.
Because the seeds were almost 6y old i only count the popped ones, 2/3 popped after 48h using paper towel sprayed with 1% H2O2.
Put them in small pots with seedling soil, some perlite and mycorizae. Gave them 0,25g Bio Enhancer per liter RO water.
Keep them in a propagator with heat-mat 24°c, RH 75% and 20/4 light under the TS600 with ~300Par.
One looks nice, the other one seems a bit behind
Day 11
Repotted into 3l Superoot Pot, watered RO water with 0,25gr Enhancer p. liter and moved to Growtent.
Trying hard to hold the Temp near 27° and 70% RH.
Day 15
Put into 18/6 light cycle
Day 18
watered with RO water and some Calcium from GHF with EC 0,6 / Ph 7 / Temp 19°. The Light is running on 75% in a distance of 30cm .
This week i tried out a 4,2KW gas-heater for the room where the tent stands in but shut down after 16h. The CO2 level was going thru the roof and temperature did not raise the same.
The remaining plant of 3 really old seeds looks healthy and is growing nicely.
Week 2 in veg
Keeping the temparature and humidity in the tent stable at 26° celsius and RH at 65%+. 👌
Last week i lowered the lamp to less than 30cm at 50% - they showed no probs.
Because CO2 level was good, i raised the light intensity from 50% up to 75% - that was too much. The signals were clear.
So back to 50% light intensity.
Day 20
watered with pure RO water
They are so thursty, the 3L Superoot pot dries out in one day.
I need my plants to keep moist enough for 2 days minimum.
And they are showing that they miss something.
It seems that the pre-fertilzed "Biobizz Light mix" is sucked out.
So i decided to repot them to their final pot size of 12L.
Day 26
I am using 5pcs Superoot 12L pots in comparison with 7pcs Root pouches 12L.
The soil mix is 70% "Biobizz Light mix" with 20% coco fibre and 10% "Biobizz Worm cast".
Mixed it with ~ 3,4g Greenhouse BioGrow /L soil and 1g Mycorizae p. 5L soil.
Watered them with a solution of 0,6g Greenhouse Enhancer /L RO water.
Do not want to stress them too hard, so light intensity at 50% and 40cm height for a few days.
Day 34 // Day 18 in veg 18/6
Plant showed no problems after repotting.
Grew nice and vital.
It is about 28cm tall and 44cm wide and has a really fat stem.
Will be lightly defoliated tomorrow.
Watering every 2 days with RO water PH 6.
The light distance is 30cm with 50% intensity.
Will try to slightly increase the intensity next week .
The temp is stable at 26° day / 23° night. Keeping RH at 65%.
Everything fine for this week 😍
Day 37 // Day 21 in veg 18/6
Defoliation of lower parts
Plant showed no problems after defoliation.
Day 41 // Day 25 in veg 18/6

She is about 36cm tall and 60cm wide .
Did some light LST on some branches.
Gave 1g GHF BioEnhancer per Liter RO water PH6,7.
Watering every 2 days with RO water PH 6.
The light distance is 30cm with 50% intensity.
The temp is stable at 26° day / 23° night. Keeping RH at 65%.
Planning to flip at day 45 / 29 ...
Everything fine for this week 😍
First, i want to wish you all a lucky and successful growing year 2023! 👍
"Live long and prosper"
Day 47 total // 30 days in veg 18/6 // Day 1 in bloom 12/12
Flipped to bloom 12/12
The plant is growing nice and vital. She is compact in hight but getting more and more bushy.
She is about 40cm tall but 65cm wide .
Regular defoliation of big leafs.
Watering every day with 1l RO water PH 6,3 per plant.
The light distance is 30cm with 50% intensity.
The temp is stable at 26° day but down to 20° at night.
Keeping RH at 70%. No more need for humidifier.
The plants are producing more than enough humidity on their own.
Planning to topdress the soil with 5g per liter substrate GHF BioBloom tomorrow.
Everything fine for this week 😍
Day 57 total // 30 days in veg 18/6 // Day 11 in bloom 12/12
Topdressed the plant on day 2 in bloom with 5gr GHF BioBloom per liter substrate.
Regular defoliation of big leaves and a little LST.
Feeding daily with about 1 liter RO water with PH 6,3.
On day 6 i gave her 1gr GHF BioEnhancer per liter RO water regulated down to PH 6.4.
Plant is growing well and healthy.
She gets really bushy with lots of sidebranches. 😍
She is about 55cm tall and 75cm wide.
Internode distance is about 1cm on the top of the plants.
The temp is stable at 27° day and 23° at night.
Keeping RH under 60% is hard because the ladies are transpirating a lot.
2 dehumidyfiers working 24/7 😏
Light intensity at 75% at 30cm distance.
Planning to rise to 100% tomorrow.
Everything fine for this week 😍
@InfiniteGlow,
That will be really cool to see the results, I imagine doing a root wash at the end to see the difference in root structure between those two. Very cool, will be posted to see what you can find out
