Grow Diary: Phase 1 - Germination
Planned Number of Plants: 9. However, due to uncertainty about the germination rate, all 10 seeds from the packet were germinated. Remarkably, all 10 seeds successfully sprouted.
Note: One of the plants will be removed from the tent at the end of the vegetative phase.
During the first week of germination, the conditions were as follows:
• Lighting: Only one of the two available lamps was active, dimmed to 10% power. The distance to the plants was approximately 35-40 cm.
• Humidity: Maintained at 75% at night and 73% during the day.
Adjustments in the Second Week:
• From the second week, the second lamp was also turned on at 10% dimming, and both lamps were raised slightly as some plants showed signs of stress. Although it cannot be proven with 100% certainty that the issue was due to light intensity, the plants recovered after this adjustment.
• Humidity: Maintained at 73% at night and 70% during the day.
Adjustments in the Third Week:
• The lamps were dimmed to 20% and positioned approximately 60 cm away from the plants.
• Humidity: Maintained at 70% at night and 67% during the day.
Soil and Nutrients:
• For the initial two weeks of the seedling phase, "Seedmix" from Canna (first 11 days) and "Canna Terra Professional" (last 10 days of germination) was used.
• Starting from the first week of the vegetative phase, the plants will be transplanted into slightly larger pots with Terra Professional Plus soil.
• Fertilization Plan: No fertilizer has been used so far. There is also no plan to add fertilizer until the end of the vegetative phase and even during the first weeks of the flowering stage.
The control of light and humidity was managed using the GrowBase Pro Controller system from Growcontrol.
@SicilianMedusa, also mich haben die Lampen nicht enttäuscht buds sind bei mir etwas kleiner als mit hps aber dafür viel mehr Geschmack und trichome
Ja schaue sicher mal vorbei bei deinen grows 😎
@cheech87, Thank you, I'm using these lamps for the first time. After not cultivating for 9 years, I have transitioned from High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps to LED, starting with these impressive SANlight EVO 1.5 5-120 twins. This is my first grow after a 9-year hiatus, and also my first attempt with LED, UV light, and monitoring the Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD). I plan to provide weekly updates from now on. I will publish a summary of the first week of vegetation in the coming days.
@Lemonhazelover, Thank you, stay tuned. In the next few days, I will report on the first week of vegetation. The plants are looking good :) I am excited and feel like I already have a good handle on this grow
