Gorilla Cookies Auto - First Grow

Schnax :- - - - - -: Week 1 :- - - - - -: D1-W1; Just waiting - - - - - - D2-W1; Getting bigger, reached 4cm. (Does anyone have tips or suggestions for improvement?) Changed light height from 60cm to 40cm! & Reduced lighting time from 24 hours to 20 hours (25%). - - - - - - D3-W1; Today we reached 6cm. I'm pretty proud of the little one. Does anyone have an idea to prevent the stem from bending? Otherwise, just watered with about 100-200ml of water today. - - - - - - D4-W1: Couldn't take pictures, didn't get around to driving home. Still watered with about 100-150ml. - - - - - - D5-W1; Great news, reached 7cm & the leaves are growing very well. I'm a bit worried that the little one might bend, I hope not. Otherwise, watered with about 120ml of water today. - - - - - - D6-W1; Today it's already 7.5cm & the stem is getting noticeably thicker, which reassures me. You can slowly see the new 2 leaves growing at the top, the light intensity was increased to 50% & watered with about 120ml of water. - - - - - - D7-W1; Watered with about 120ml, finally the second week can start tomorrow. I'm still considering whether I should start fertilizing tomorrow or give the little one a bit more time to grow strong and big.

Schnax :- - - - - -: Week 2 :- - - - - -: D1-W2; Finally, week 2 begins. I've decided to start fertilizing in week 3, unless someone knows better and can tell me. Otherwise, I've stabilized the stem a bit with soil at the bottom, otherwise it would bend over. I watered it today with about 120ml of water; let's see if it gets a bit thirstier today. - - - - - - D2-W2; (Question: Is it normal that the 2 leaves are still bent upwards?) Watered today with 100ml of water; if it needs more today, I'm here. I keep adjusting the stem with the soil to keep it upright. - - - - - - D3-W2; Time flies so fast yet so slow; I can hardly wait to see it bloom. Occasionally, I play music in the grow box. Today, I watered it with 150ml of water and misted it with 50ml every 30 minutes. New leaves are just starting to grow in the middle :) - - - - - - D4-W2; WOW, the first leaves look beautiful. Watered today with 150ml of water. Measured the height again today, and it's 8.5cm on the ruler. - - - - - - D5-W2; The light intensity has been increased to 75%, and I'm now starting to water with 200ml of water. I think the days of rapid growth are coming. - - - - - - D6-W2; Watered quite a bit earlier today than the last few days, again with 200ml of water; a very light smell can already be detected. Today, it reached a height of 10cm. The lamp is adjusted every 1-2 days to a distance of 40cm. Just one more day, and we'll have completed week 2 :) - - - - - - D7-W2; Watered today with 200ml of water; tomorrow will finally be the first time fertilizing. In my opinion, it has developed well over the 2 weeks; the smell is slowly coming, and the stem is noticeably stronger. The humidity is not good at all; unfortunately, it often falls below 40%. A short prayer that it stays as strong until the end as it is today, Amen.

Schnax :- - - - - -: Week 3 :- - - - - -: D1-W3; Finally, week 3 begins. Today I'm fertilizing for the first time, I just mixed 1.5ml of Bio Grow in 200ml of water, and then watered normally with 100ml of water. The humidity is quite low, so I'm testing the towel method now, unfortunately without success at the moment, still at 26%. - - - - - - D2-W3; The towel method works surprisingly well, better than a cup or plate of water, so I was able to increase the humidity by 10%. Today I watered my plant with 300ml of water, the stem has really thickened compared to weeks 1 & 2. I'm now looking into LST training, which will come in the next few days. - - - - - - D3-W3; Today I watered again with 300ml of water, I think that's too much, the soil won't be really dry by tomorrow, maybe it's due to the fertilizer or the towel, but so far it hasn't harmed the little one. Today we've reached a height of 13cm. The lamp has been adjusted to a distance of 40cm again. The towel method is really recommended; humidity can be well maintained at 35-40%. I really don't know how to start with LST, I'm afraid of doing something wrong. - - - - - - D4-W3; Today is a special day because you can see the first signs of pre-flowers! This probably means that next week is the flowering phase. Otherwise, I watered again with 300ml of water today. I've also decided not to use LST since this is my first grow, and I just want to observe them as they grow and gather experience on how they develop over time. The soil is actually drying out more than yesterday. - - - - - - D5-W3; Watered today with about 320ml of water. The lamp has been adjusted to a distance of 40cm again. The first 9-blade leaves are currently growing at the top. - - - - - - D6-W3; Today the plant is a whole 20cm tall! The next pre-flowers are already starting to grow out, today I'm watering with about 350ml of water. A lot of new leaves are growing out, and it survives with just 350ml of water despite everything. I find that really impressive. When I look at other diaries, some are already watering 1L per day. - - - - - - D7-W3; Next week is finally over! And unfortunately, the last day also brings bad news; I saw a little fungus gnat baby crawling on a leaf, I wasn't quick enough to deal with it... It's still roaming around somewhere. So far, really only one is wandering, I pray that it dies on its own soon. Otherwise, I watered today with 400ml of water and brought some new leaves a bit higher to get a bit more light. Tomorrow will be fertilizing again!

Schnax :- - - - - -: Week 4 :- - - - - -: D1-W4; Today I fertilized again, mixing 2ml Grow; 1.5ml Bloom; 1.5ml Max in 300ml water. First, I moistened the soil with 100ml of water, then fertilized, and finally watered again with 100ml of plain water. I found 2 small holes on the leaves today, probably due to the fungus gnat larvae feeding on the leaves. I read that you can stick simple matches into the soil to drive away the little pests. From today, I will be watering with 500ml of water. - - - - - - D2-W4; Today the leaves don’t look good at all, I just defoliated a bit, removing a total of 6 leaves that received little to no light. Otherwise, I watered with 500ml of water. I hope the leaves showing symptoms will get better soon and that no new ones will appear. - - - - - - D3-W4; Today I watered a bit earlier with 500ml of water, the symptoms on the leaves have gotten much worse, but in some spots, you can slowly see the green coming back. Hopefully, everything will be okay again. - - - - - - D4-W4; - - - - - - - D5-W4; - - - - - - - D6-W4; - - - - - - - D7-W4; -
