Week 2:
Things are getting interesting as tiny side branches show up on the plants. Inspired by another grow of the same strain i consider to top the plants twice. First session takes place tomorrow (day 11). Never did any topping yet so i'm a little excited. At the beginning of week 2 the plants have a height in the range between 3.5 and 7.0 cm.
day 10: First leaves are a bit wrinkly.
day 11: Second ones too. Probably put a little too much nutrients in the soil. I hope that the plants make it till they change their nutrient consumption to flowering phase. Likely this will happen after day 21.
day 12: Searched on the web and the wrinkly leaves are most likely du to heat stress. Indeed i got my lamp a little too close so i hung it a little higher. Plants are doing well though. It's about 28° Celsius now.
day 13: The plants develop well. Let's see if there will be another topping session. The fimmed plant doesn't seem to bother my mistake too much.

5 AB+ fem plants organic grow in 6.5 l pots.
3 phase medium (amount per plant):
- 1l early grow (mix: 1/2 used soil from last grow + 1/2 no peat tomato soil + 1 hand full of my organic super bloom mix[ OHSB])
- 2 l grow (mix: 10l tomato soil + 3 l OHSB + 1 hand full of crushed chicken shit pellets)
- 3.5 l hot soil (mix: 15 l tomato soil + 5 l OHSB + ash + 2 hands chicken pellets)
OHSB consists of used up soil from last grows, enriched with worm humus, guano, ash, coffee grounds, primal rock flour, ghassoul.
I'm changing/experimenting with different ingredients from time to time. Sometimes I add a mykorrhiza/trichoderma mix.
This time, as im dealing with autos, I decided to not use guano, and instead compensate with a mix of just chicken pellets and ash. I'm sure one can compensate the guano somehow for a regular grow as well.
Dosing the ingredients I roughly follow the suggestions from GK and so also for the ash even though I have my own one (wood ash).
