All started in 40x40 tent...no1 will stay there...2, 3 and 4 will go to a 60x60 in 3 gal pots...transplant Auto not good, of course...but I had to do that.
2 and 3 will gett super living soil and water only. 1 and 4 a mix of coco and light mix. 1 will get synthetics later (hesi)...4 biobizz...let see
No1 did not grow complete week after repotting...so did my last TITAN seed plant directly into 3 gallon pot (germinated in wet towel). This one is in Plagron lighmix plus Coco and will get synth. nutrients from hesi
No4 (Cookies Gelato) continues growing after some brake caused by repotting...started to feed with biobizz nutrients
No2 (same strain like No4) did slow growing after repotting but seems to continue slowly now...got double shock...repotting and compl. diff. soil (super living soil)...will get only water
No3 (same strain like No1) did slow as well...repotting and new substrate...super living soil...super shock...will get only water too
Ok 2 and 3 still in super living soil and only water...2 Titan grow isnt good...let see next weeks.
No4 (same strain like No2) is in a mix of coco and light mix soil.
Going on with biobizz nutrients here...
No1... same strain like No3 but gettting synthetic nutrients from hesi...I beginn to like hesi...No1 is reacting perfectly on this
Repotting did cost at least 3 days...Titan seems to be less resistant to repotting than Cookies Gelato
Started with humidifier to get closer to amateur vpd ,)
No2 Cookies Gelato...super living soil florganics + only water
No4 Cookies Gelato...biobizz light mix + Coco + biobizz nutrients
No3 Titan F1...super living soil florganics + only water
No1 Titan F1...Plagron light mix + Coco + hesi synthetic nutrients in separate tent 40x40 + 50 Watt SanLight today increase to 60% power...appr. 40 cm distance...decrease after few days to 40 % power...60% was too much
No4 (feeded wit biobizz) causes a lot of problems and needs a lot of attention...started with Ca deficiency...after this came toxicity of nitrogen and now some Mg deficiency...but the grow is very good.
Same strain in Pot No2 in super living soil is doing good...grows a little slower but I have zero work and zero problems there.
So far I would prefer living soil in the future. Regarding pot No1 (synthetic nutrients) is too early to report...I think I have the wrong pott for synthetic nutrients

So far I would prefer living soil in the future. But let see what happens for the rest of the grow.
Increasing light to 650-700 micromol/m2/s in week 5 (for No2, No3 and No4) was a bad idea...decreased to 500-550 now the vitality is coming back
Can anybody with long led experience agree or disagree that led produce more stalks than real trichomes ?And is it realy not easy to get real milky or amber big trichomes (with heads) by usibg LED?
why I am asking ( answers didnt help really except the sunlight of course)...
I plan to switch from led to cmh for the final stage of flowering...
Because I have seen some threads that led is not able to produce real trichomes...reffering to both...size of the heads and the real milky or amber color.
Thats why I wanted some comments from experienced led growers
No 2 (Cookies gelato) and No 3 (Titan F1)...living soil + only water experiment
No 1 (Titan F1) 2 weeks behind in separate 40x40 cm tent because had to start new...fertilized with the synthetic hesi starter pack
No4 (cookies gelato) in biobizz light mix soil...fertilized with biobizz nutrients series...this one caused the most problems so far
No 1 (Titan F1) two weeks behind...currently at day 34 in separate tent...doing good with sythetic nutrients
No 2 (cookies gelato)...right side front... planted in living soil...feeding only with water...biggest plant so far but flowers still dont have density
No 3 (Titan F1)...left side...planted in living soil...feeding with water only...small plant...small flower so far
Update Day 53..."cheating" now...i have added 1 ml Plagron green sensation and 1 ml Plagron royal sugar (got free samples)...the flowers are very small that I start ti think that living soil isnt a solution for the complete growing period...especialy middle and late flowering...No 2 will still get only water...to have at least one refetence (living soil and water)
No 4 (cookies gelato)...right side back...planted in a mix of 70% light mix from biobizz and 30% coco...feeding with biobizz nutrients...all of them...of course reduced concentration especially in veg...is not growing that good like the sister in living soil but is developing more dense buds...so far...let see what happens during the next weeks
Hello my friend, this is not a defoliation just a small color mutation that you find pretty often on cannabis plants. Nothing to worry about and they are looking good buddy! 💚
Anybody Idea ? My synthetic grow medium has too high PH value 7,6 - 8,2 Medium is Plagron light mix appr 70% and 30% Coco...fertilizing with hesi starter pack nutrients and water always regulating the PH to 6.2-6.4...with Plagron minus...how can I reduce the PH of my medium?
add any acid as you already do for the water that goes into the pot.. does not have to be overpriced "ph-down" branded product. just use 5% vinegar you likely have in your house already.
If you try to balance it, remmber it is a log scale. each whole integer from 7 is 10x more than previous ratio of h30+:oh-. if the 'middle' is skewed just under 7, the low side is significantly more hevily weighted thant he high side in thsi context... don't go as low as it is high. get a calculator out if you have to. log // -log will help choose an intelligent counterbalance pH.
your nutes are not buffered, so you are experiencing pH-drift. Find nutes that are ph-buffered and this won't be a concern. won't need that ph down or up, either. My pH strips collect dustt for years before i use 100 of them, lol. better made soilless nutes = easy button
That's weird. I have never seen a medium drift upwards before its almost always down. What are you using as a ground cover in your pots? Is that just dried up medium?
With you setup your using it looks like its auto watering the plants, does it have any runoff? Does that runoff collect and get recycled into the system or is it garbage?
With liquid nutrients you want to be getting aorund 10% of the pots volume as runoff each irrigation.
I also have a feeling if you are replaying on that in soil PH/Moisture meter it is off and not accurate. I've seen and used them before in my youth and they are BUNK, they break very easily and once any oxidation or corrosion happens on the tips its pretty uselessness.
Your plants are looking good and I don't see any issues of it showing lockout from high PH. I would suggest getting some PH strips designed for pool as they have two or three indicators on them for finding the PH or investing in a PH pen. The one downside to the pen is it needs calibration and proper storage but can be used many many times.
I use a PH pen and love it, I calibrate it about once a month when in use. it was aorund 18$ some of the really nice ones are 100-200$
In short: monitor your runoff and get runoff, double check with a different PH probe and calibrate it if possible or buy some pool PH strips as a backup. Don't do anything dratic the plants are still healthy looking don't want to shock them.
Best Of Luck!
Just keep giving water with pH 6 and the medium will turn more acid overtime. Do not rush these things just do it step by step and your plants will be ok! 😋
Well now both...No 3 and No 2 boosted with Plagron sugar royal and green sensation and since today (day 58) with plagron power buds...the development of the flowers in living soil plus water only was too slow and too small for me...let see if it helps or if its too late.
No 4 is still the same...organic biobizz light mix soil mixed with 30 % Coco and feeding with almost all biobizz nutrients.
No 1 I like it,) ...feeding with sythetic nutrients from hesi...the complete starter Pack...plus some Plagron nutrients...really like the results so far...taste? let See later
So week 10 starting
No 1 (Titan F1)...only synthetic grow...started 2 weeks later in separate tent due to some probs...now see week 7
currently feeding eith the complete hesi starter pack and since one week additionally with Plagron sugar royal, green sensation and power buds
No 2 (Cookies gelato) in living soil from florganics...until week 8 only feeded with water....since week 9 additionaly with the three Plagron products as menioned af No1
No 3 (Titan F1) also pure living soil plus water experiment but due to weakness also added the same three Plagron products since middle of week 8
No 4 (Cookies gelato) organic soil light mix from biobizz plus 30% coco...feeded with the biobizz nutrients series...nothing else
Tent with No 2, No 3 and No 4 is small...60 x 60 cm ( 2x2)...my goal is 200 gram dry
Tent with No 1 is only 40 x 40 cm...here I have expectation 50 - 100 gram dry...let see
So lets slide in week 11...hope No 3 Titan F1 will be ready soon...at least acc. to description should be ready before coockies gelato
Did check some trichomes of the Titan...ok did see some amber...some milky...but still too many clear...I would rather ovedrive the shit instead of harvest 1% clear.
Also I dont like the shape of the trichomes under the sanlight lamp...let see later No1 in separate tent with sf1000.
I will post some trichomes pictures later.
HARVEST ! 😃
So lets summarize...
small tent 40x40cm..Spider Farmer SF1000
-No 1 Titan F1 (hesi synthetic nutrients)
bigger tent 60x60cm...Sanlight evo 3-60 1.5
-No 2 cookies gelato and florganics liv. soil
-No 3 Titan F1 anf florganics liv. soil
-No 4 cookies gelato with biobizz light mix
soil +30% coco and biobizz nutrients
This experiment was to compare living soil wiht organic nutrients and synthetic grow...but...I was suprised that ny new led lamp Sanlight evo 3-60 1.5 produced that degenerative trichomes (max 64% and 44 cm distance)...the grow in my smaller tent No1 here 2 weeks behind, with Spider Farmer SF1000 lamp generated much much better trichomes...but the cost is 1/4 🤔
No 1 Titan F1 is 2 weeks behind here...the grow is great...very easy with hesi nutrients...no deficiencies etc.
Interesting will be smoke/taste comparison with No 3 Titan F1 wih living soil in the boigger tent which is to be harvested today
No 2 cookies gelato with florganics living soil...the first half of the grow was great...the second half total disappointment....1000 deficiencies and small buds...at the end also some disease and finally wet buds...don't smoke this🤢
No 3 Titan F1 with florganics living soil and fabric pott...this one got very nice buds...see the harvest pictures...but...in week 7-8 stopped to give only water...poured some Plagron helpers on this...green sensation, sugar royal and power buds...did the same since week 8 on No 2...but there didnt help much.
No 4 cookies gelato in biobizz soil and feeded with biobizz nurtrients...got some deficiencies in the first half of the grow but later got relatively nice harvest
Dry weight will follow in approx. 2 weeks
total dispointment...both plants scrapped🤢...florganics living soil was bad and gave me worst result...biobizz plant better but overriped too much...at the end scrapped both...however...I thing Gelato from RQS is a good strain
