Humidity: 70-85 %.
2024-02-11 | D 4 (Seedling):
Time: 18:44
Small seedling appeared - germination is successful.
I've been digging the seed from time to time to see whether it has a little root or not and whether it's germinating or died (which happened in the past).
Seems like everything is good.

Week 1 | Growth:
2024-02-15 | D 8 (More Aggressive Nutrients Strategy):
Time: 18:36
The response to higher nutrient feeding is good. I'll keep nutrients high, especially Micro and Calmag. In the last growth, I noticed some deficiencies in Natrium - because the leaves weren't green enough. This time I'll try a more extreme nutrient strategy.
🌿Plant:
Size: 6 cm
Comment: I see that the plant stopped growing upwards and now developing leaves. Probably because the lights are too close, but it's OK.
2024-02-16 | D 9 (Signs of Light Stress/Light-Green color):
Time: 22:35
🌿Plant (Signs of Nutrient Def and Light Burn ):
Size: 6.5 cm
Visual:
Nutrient Def: Light Green in the middle. Dark Green closer to the ends of the leaves.
The signs of light stress & heat on the plant: slightly burned tips curling upwards.
💡Lights:
Distance: 45 cm
Intensity: 50 %
Comment: Readjusted the light to 42-45 cm and reduced intensity to 50%.
💧Feeding:
Volume: 600 ml
PH: 5.9
2024-02-17 | D 10 (Looks Darker):
Time: 14:08
🌿Plant:
Size: 7 cm
Visual:
Looks more dark green globally (including the new growth) - either result of higher nutrients feeding or light's distance/intensity.
Leaves are drooping - sign of overwatering.
Smell: Very weak.
💡Lights (Close):
Distance: 35-40 cm
Intensity: 55-75-55 %
Comment:
I moved the lights closer and increased intensity to 75% but then reduced to 55%.
Through the day I'm changing intensity between 50 and 75 %.
Seems like 75 % is to much and 35 cm is causing stress.
At midnight I moved light to 40 cm.
CONCLUSION:
50-60 % at this stage of growth is optimal with 40-45 cm distance.
💨Air:
Temp: 23.5 C.
Humidity: 75 %
2024-02-18 | D 11 (Too HOT🔥):
Time: 20:47
🌿Plant :
Size: 7 cm
Visual: Signs of overheating and light stress.
Tips/edges/ends of the leaves have white/yellow dots & are curling up.
Smell: Very weak.
💡Lights (Strategy Solidified):
Distance: 40-45 cm
Intensity: 50 %
Comment: Moved lights to 45 cm. And later to 40 cm.
Will keep intensity at 50-60 % until the plant develops (taller with more branches).
Will increase to 75% slowly when the plant is sturdy.
At flowering stage will use 100%.
Distance should be 40-45 cm until flowering.
After prolonged calculations of PPFD I've come up with ideal distances/intensities (52% (400 μmol/m^2/s) to 67% (600 μmol/m^2/s) at 40 cm) for Mars Hydro TS 1000!

Dehumidifier: Night Mode (25-50% power).
Exhaust + Filter: 10% (minimum)
Comment:
Turned On the Air Pump because the temp around the canopy is too high.
The exhaust fan wasn't enough so I turned on one of the fans. It brought the temperature down.
💨Around the Canopy:
Temp: 28 C.
Humidity: 55 %
Comment: I've noticed the signs of either heat or light stress on the plant. The temp of the air on the meter (at the center of grow box) was always 22-24 C so I thought it's OK. But then decided to place another meter right above the substrate - and I saw the temp of 28 C. Immediately I moved the lights further away. Now I will monitor the temp around the plant more.

🌿Plant (Topping):
Operations:
Topping after the 3 rd node.
1 st node is removed, with the leaves.
Visual:
Only the giant leaves of the 2 nd node and the leaves of the third node are remaining.
The colas of the 2 nd node are small but visible.
The colas on the 3 rd node are still way to young - so they could be barely seen.
💡Lights:
Distance: 36 cm
Intensity: 45 %
Comment: Will keep intensity low (below the recommended PPFD), to avoid any light stress - to give the plant time to recover after topping.

Time: 14:40
💡Lights:
Distance: 30 cm
Intensity: 45 %
Schedule: 18-6
Darkness from 14:00 to 20:00
Comments: Used timer to set the schedule - to give the plant some time to rest from the light stress (because I suspect that the plant has too much stress from topping and environment/lights).
Time: 20:47
🌿Plant:
Size: 11 cm
Visual: Plant is growing again - after ~2 days stun from topping. After 6 h period of darkness, the top leaves perked up.

Comments: Moved the lights back to 40 cm.
SEEMS LIKE THIS IS THE BEST DISTANCE: 40-45 cm (as I figured out before).
Time: 07:06
🌿Plant📈:
Size: 11 cm
Visual: Erect. Dark green. Spreading.
Smell: Weak.
Comment: The plant is growing very fast. This is the result of light's distance* - I must have been stressing out the plant too much because of close distance (I wanted to optimize distance and intensity, thinking that closer lights with lower intensity is the same as high distance + high intensity - turns out 40-45 cm is a necessity).
Time: 23:07
🌿Plant📈:
Size: 11 cm
Visual: Dark Green.
Growth slowed down.
Some parts of leaves are really dark, reflect light and have oily look.
Time of darkness increased the intake and accumulation of nitrogen. Or the plant finally started drinking the nutrients.

🌿Plant📈:
Size: 17 cm
Width: 40 cm
Visual: Dark Green Leaves - way darker than when I checked the last time - the result of high Nitrogen feeding.
Leaves grow very fast - colas not so fast.
Top new leaves (on top colas) have some anomaly growth (IN RACHIS AREA): brown/yellow/light-green spots and damage (like leaves were pierced).
Smell: Weak
Comment: Seems like this time Nitrogen needs of the plant were met. Somehow all of my feedings lacked Nitrogen and the plant always was slightly deficient (which resulted in the yellow color of new leaves). It makes me think that even Aggressive Feeding Schedule isn't aggressive enough - that's weird considering that this schedule is 2-3 x higher in nutrients than normal and FastBuds recommended 13 of normal nutrients regime for this strain.

Top Leaves show signs of nutrient burn (maybe).
Top Leaves are erect.
Other leaves - not. I've done some "LST" on them with my hands and now the leaves are pointing upwards, maybe the plant will remember this position and stay like this (it will maximize light absorption).

2024-03-06 | D 28 (SOIL PH)
Time: 01:00
🌍 Substrate:
PH: 5.3-5.4
Measurement Depth: 11-13 cm (30 cm tall substrate overall)
Measurement Report:
I've placed PH meter in 2 points on opposite sides of the pot: 2/3 of the radius.
Deeper I went - lower the PH became: starting from 6.0 (top).
It makes me think that even deeper (closer to the bottom of the pot) - the PH is even lower (Probably 5 or lower).
CONCLUSION:
1. I have to water with the runoff - to prevent the build-up of salts. (Hard to do, the volume must be massive, no matter how much and how often I'm watering I have no runoff - even for 2.5 L with 2 L every day)
2. Flushing would be good.
3. Immediate adjustments in PH of the feeding solution should be made - 6.5 PH.
Comment: Today I've bought a PH meter for the soil.
🌿Plant📈:
Visual: Booming in size, growing fast.
No signs of the light stress - the opposite: top leaves are erect.
Signs of nutrients deficiencies, or maybe PH imbalances. (However, Nitrogen deficiencies not so present as before.)

Has grown since the Bloom feeding.
New leaves color is normalizing - it was indeed Phosphorous/Sulfur Deficiency*.
Branches are very stiff and sometimes crack at the base from LST.

🌱LST (DAMAGE):
2 Branches SNAPPED from LST - in the places where the previous LST wires were.
LST wires were too tight and damaged the branches (cut into them). When I readjusted the wires and pulled the branches down it created too much stress on the parts that were damaged. Then the branches snapped.
Removed all LST. Will let the plant heal and rest.
Attached the most damaged branch to the big branch on the opposite side - to connect the damaged area.
Defoliation:
2 bottom leaves.
A few leaves at the center.
