Hello Diary,
The first week of vegetation on the "Farm" has ended and what marked this week were certainly the new lights that arrived, Migro Aray 4.
Until now, I used lights from the same manufacturer and now I got a new version.
The lights fit perfectly and now the coverage of the space with the appropriate light output is much better.
As you can see in the photos, the plants are developing nicely. They have doubled in size in a week and have already reached 10 cm.
In the middle is one Cosmos F1 plant that keeps them company, while the other two are Orion F1 plants that are almost identical.
They have started to put out twigs and new leaves so they are growing really fast at this stage.
Watering is still not frequent, every 4-5 days.
I read a couple of recommendations that it is advisable to add CalMg to plants that are exposed to light.
So now, from the first week of vegetation, I started adding CalMg as a preventive measure.
The pH level I'm still lowering with Plagron's Lemon kick.
Here's how it looked this week.
02/02/2024 - Day 1.
The official start of the vegetation phase. As soon as the plant gets at least 4 leaves, the real vegetation begins.
I photographed the plants and measured the height.
Orion F1 #1 - 5 cm
Orion F1 #2 - 4.5 cm
03/02/2024 - Day 2.
Watering. I prepared three liters of water and watered all three plants on the farm. I don't give them too much water at this stage.
07/02/2024 - Day 6.
Watering. I prepared 6 liters of water, added 1ml/L of CalMg and watered all three plants with that amount. I changed the lights, the Migro Aray arrived on the 4th and I am very happy about it.
08/02/2024 - Day 7.
Photographing and measuring the height of plants. The first week of vegetation has ended.
Orion F1 #1 - 9.5 cm
Orion F1 #2 - 10 cm
That's all from me for this week, see you soon.
