Soaked the three seeds for an 1-2 hours in water. Prepared 3 small pots with BioBizz Light Mix and pre-watered them until full saturation.
Number 1 and 2 just arrived, number three seems to be more relaxed. Hopefully he’s coming soon :)
First day of the first week!
Environment is not that good, but in the next days it should get much colder.
Plants are getting slightly more than 12 DLI, I’ll add the distance from lamp to plants in the next few days.
In the middle of the week I decided it’s time for the big 11l pots. They already had some good root development. The first feeding was with 3ml root juice and 1.5ml heaven. The second one was 4ml and 2ml. Let’s get into the next week!
Till mid/end of the week they started preflower. They are looking really healthy, seems like BioBizz fertilizers work great.
I removed some leaves and some of the early developments of flowers at the bottom. I’m still learning how much I should cut. If you got some recommendations based of my photos I would be interested.
Plants are looking awesome. They just doubled in size to almost 40cm. Im checking the distance to the lamp every 2 days and adjusting it to 30cm.
I also changed the nutrients for the flowering stage.
They are really thirsty, I’m feeding them almost everyday with 1liter per plant. I’m thinking about increasing the amount of water per plant to 1,5 or 2l.
Like I said in the description. Im thinking about increasing the water per shower. For now 1liter per day or two seems to work fine. If I increase it will last maybe a day longer?How often should I feed them? Is every day good or is it better if the feeding will last 2-3 days?
you should water entire substrate. that determines how much water you give. then wait until top inch dries in soil or if coco wait until that top layer starts to change color. repeat.
you don't pick what is needed. the wet-dry cycle that results from this reduces risk of pathogens and pests. it also promotes deeper roots vs superficial roots. if oyu try to add a little water on top you will have a bunch of superficial roots that are not as effective, and if exposed to light won't even be roots for long.
always water entirety of substrate.. a little runoff is fine. cast it down the drain. don't let it sit in its own piss. in a soilless context, you want 10% runoff every time and fertilizing every time. soil s a bit different bit in the end similar. you'll learn how much is needed and limit runoff in soil.
if you irrigate at same loss of weight / dryness up top, it will require the same volume of water as before. you learn how much retroactively. use the same soil / pot size / vege time next time and it'll stay the same - even ramp up in frequency in same way relative to growth / pot size.
Starting into the 7th week. I gradually increase some of the nutrients based on the BioBizz schema. Some of the stems turned a red, I think that’s caused of environmental factors, it’s getting a little colder and the humidity could be lower.
2-3 days into the 8th week. I’m using a dehumidifier now to decrease the humidity spikes, it’s working fine combined with a hygrometer. Soil was really dry after I came back from holiday, but it seems like they already started to recover. There are some minor brown areas at the tips of the leaves, and those red stems, is there any obvious mistake I made?
First day of the 9th week. Buds are looking great. Like 20% of the leaves are turning a little brown as you can see on the photo. Are those already normal signs of the flowering phase? Environmental factors are sadly not 100% under control. On my next grow I’ll looking forward to improve on that. Thanks for following my grow so far, you are awesome!
Edit: Started flushing them in the end of week 9! Let me know if it was too early or maybe too late?
Started flushing end of the last week.
I will water them from now on with 1-2 days old tap water. I still don’t have a ph meter or ph up/down. Maybe I’ll buy one for the next grow to have more control.
Middle of the week: watered 4l each plant and removed some yellow leaves.
Added some closeup pictures!
One of my plants has some awesome purple accents on the leaves/buds. I don’t see it be common for green gelato auto. Does someone know where it comes from and if it’s any deficit?
3 common reasons for purple
• Lack of nutrients or to early of flush leaving it to cannibalize
•Genetics even if it's rare for this strain, it's a wild 1 off pheno
•Colder Temps can bring out purple coloring in plants
Combination of these or even individually it can cause these colors.
I removed some yellow leaves. Sadly one of the small side branches snapped off and I couldn’t fix it.
Added some more closeup pictures, I think I’ll harvest next week, what do you think?
My humidity automation with home assistant seems to work better now, only at night I have some highs when the dehumidifier is offline.
Growing with BioBizz seems to be really easy. The strain is robust and easy to grow.
Today we made a little photoshoot, hope you enjoy the pictures!
I’ll share more infos about the harvest in 2 weeks when the drying is over!
Thanks for following along!
