Primeiro Ciclo

Wizude First cycle of cultivation. This week I had some problems with which light to use and distance, I ended up exaggerating the light on day 4 which ended up stopping growth and also burning one of the plants, as can be seen in the images. I went back and am currently using only the 50W full spectrum light.

Wizude I still don’t know for sure but I believe the problem I’ve had the last week with the light was actually an attack of red spider mites or thrips, which was made worse by the excessive light. I used neem oil for the pests on Sunday, apparently they’ve been eliminated. I continue to use the 50w full spectrum lamp and this week I added the Flowermind organic fertilizer, it is a Brazilian brand that only sells in Brazil so people from other countries will not be able to find it. I think I had a delay in development because of these problems, but I believe that adding another week to the growing season will be enough to get the plants ready for flowering, let’s see.

Wizude The problem with the pests persists, plant 01 has root mites, I used neem oil again to try to contain it, it seems to have worked, I'm following along. On the 20th I applied a complete watering of 400ml to each plant with Flowermind liquid fertilizers, Flowermind rock blend, and Smart Roots rootizer. Below I describe the composition of each one; it seems that was all the plants needed, they were growing an average of 0.5 cm for plant 01 and 0.25 cm for plant 02. From day 20 to day 21, plant 01 grew 2 cm and plant 02 grew 1 cm, surprising.

I think I'll keep this week at 70 cm and if I notice that the plants are needing lower to obtain higher values. This next week is going to be challenging; here the heat really reached an average of 30 degrees Celsius and I don't have air conditioning, so I'll always keep a bottle of cold water to try to lower at least 2 degrees.

Wizude Pests are really resistant, both plants with spider mites and now with Fungus Gnats. To get rid of the Fungus Gnats I applied Diatomaceous Earth all over the soil as you can see in the most recent photos, it seems to have worked I didn't see any mites or Fungus Gnats the day after the application. On the 27th I did top pruning on one of the plants and LST on both, I want to test cultivation with and without top pruning to see the difference. I removed both dead leaves from the bottom, almost a lollipop pruning.

As I don't have air conditioning I've been leaving frozen bottles in the grow, it has helped to lower 1 or 2 degrees.

Wizude Finally free of the pests, last week's work paid off. Still facing high temperatures, but according to the weather next week will be cooler. a little information Quantum Board + full spectrum lamp 40 cm away 24000 lux 450 PPFD Both according to iPhone Photone app fertilizers - Liquid Flowermind - class A organic residues of fruits and vegetables, urea, phosphoric acid and potassium hydroxide. - Flowermind rock blend - activated rocks rich in silicon oxide, calcium oxide, iron oxide, potassium oxide, magnesium oxide, phosphorus oxide, sodium oxide, organic carbon, chelators, immunostimulants, organic amino acids, humic acids and fulvic - Smart Roots - Magnesium: 0.001%, Magnesium Sulfate, Complexing agents: Seaweed Lesonia Nigrescens and Additive: Polysaccharides: 3%
