Hi, in the first week, I mixed the “BioBIZZ Light Mix” soil with a bit of BioBizz Grow. (I know it was a mistake.) So far, there are no signs of over-fertilization, but they will likely appear soon.
third week. she is growing. Unfortunately, the new leaves also show signs of over-fertilization. I hope it will improve over time. I have now raised the lamp to 50 cm above the leaf tip and set it to 50W. Additionally, I may have overwatered the plant last week, although I’m not entirely sure. So I let them dry out for the last two days. I think I’m making every beginner mistake possible. 🌱

Hi folks, now it’s almost the end of the fourth week. Three days ago, I had to repot from a 1.5-liter container to an 11-liter fabric pot. Everything went smoothly. I was a bit nervous, but it turned out to be no problem. The roots have spread throughout the entire pot and along the edges, and they looked fresh and healthy. 🌿
She is growing very well in my opinion. Two of the lower leaves are yellow and limp, but the rest are beautifully green and juicy.
Happy growing boysNgirls :)
Hi@all, it is the end of the fifth week, I started some low-stress training to bend the lower branches towards the light. It worked really well. Three days ago, I topped the "head". I hope she's recovering from it in the next days/week. So far, everything seems to be going well and it’s really enjoyable. 😎🌿
My only concern is the 40x40 cm tent – I think it might be a bit tight in there...
Greetings ✌️
Finally the end of the sixth week. I had very bright, slightly yellow leaves because i had given too much light and too little fertilizer.
The lamp was then turned down to 80W and raised to 50cm height, so that the plant could calm down again. I also corrected the amount of fertilizer. Now she looks happier again 😇
Thanks also to @Seedler, I "tucked" the leaves under the buds and it worked very well. 🌱🌱🌱
Grow Hard. Go Pro.
Hi@all,
this is the last week in the vegetative phase. Starting tomorrow it will be switched to 12/12.
Looks quite good to my taste, except for too much light and too little fertilizer. Both light and fertilizing are somewhat under control for now (hopefully)
I continue to enjoy trying to adjust all the values of the plant/nutritions and environment correctly and finding out what works well and what doesn’t.
Grow Hard. Go Pro. 🌱😎👌
Hi@ALL,
today marks the end of the first flowering week.
Since the two main stems grew too tall, I had to tie them down to achieve a more even surface. The stems in the middle might still manage to reach the top. I removed all leaves that were casting shadows.
The lower branches of the plant naturally receive much less light than the upper ones. I tried to tie them down as much as possible so that they stretch outwards. I hope it wasn’t wrong not to cut them.
All in all, it seems to be going well for her. I’ve switched my fertilization schedule to flowering. And I’ve gradually increased the light intensity from the first flower-day until today. I started at around 800 PPFD and now I’m up to approximately 1100 PPFD.
Greetings 😎👌
Hi@ALL,
it's the end of the second flowering week, unfortunately, I’m dealing with fungus gnats. As a countermeasure, I’ve used nematodes. The challenge is that during the flowering phase, I prefer to let the soil dry out completely before watering. However, nematodes require consistently moist conditions to survive. Additionally, I’ve read that nematodes can take three to four weeks to eliminate all the eggs – quite a long time. I might also try neem oil.
Also, I’ve noticed that the tips of 20%-25% of the leaves have turned brown and become crispy. This occurs both at the top and bottom of the plant. I suspect I’ve provided too much light. My biggest challenge currently is finding the right light intensity. I’m using an AC Infinity Ionframe EVO3 with 280W. According to the instructions, I should operate it at 100% intensity during the flowering phase when it’s 30 centimeters away. However, that feels like a full-blown laser show for the plant. (supposedly around 1600 PPFD). Now I’ve positioned it at 45 centimeters and 70% intensity. According to the Photone App, the upper part of the plant receives approximately 900-1000 PPFD. Unfortunately, I can’t fully trust my smartphone an the app… well, that’s what happens when you turn everything into science 😅
And one more thing caught my attention: the smell. It’s not there. I can hardly smell anything. My GG#4 is three weeks old and fills the entire room with its strong odor, but the L.A. Amnesia simply doesn’t smell like anything. Somehow, that worries me a little 😩
Overall, the plant seems "healthy" and does its thing, but I’m unsure whether to prune the lower branches. Although they receive light, they’re about 10-15 centimeters below the upper ones 😓
Wish you a nice day. 👋😀👍

we all have been there, don't worry. I still overwater and ph lock out my entire grow.
Growing cannabis is a journey. Try something like 1/3 of nutrients and even if you just want them to be healthy, too much water will just suffocate them.
since you have saucers PLEASE just bottom feed them, no need to top feed. So don't water directly in the soil, just pour it into your saucer and the water will wick up JUST enough for her and never, never ever let them stay in stale water for like 5+ hours.
bottom feeding and dunking with fabric pots really made me progress because this takes away a lot of stress or possible mistakes.
good luck growing! (:
@Seedler, thank you :)
I hadn’t thought of that, but I’ll try it from now on!
How long should I apply this method? Or can I handle it this way until the end?
greetings
Nice Timelapse video, really impressed! Looking forward to more of those! Can I ask you what you used to do this also in the night?
Good Luck, Grow some lit flowers🙏

Actually, this camera is intended for time-lapse of 3D printers. However, it doesn’t matter whether it’s pointed at a plant or a printer :D You can simply connect via Wi-Fi and view the live video on your PC or smartphone. The time-lapse function is already included in the software.
greetings : )
Yes! she is looking good!!
i would make sure, to spread the plant out as wide as i can and be sure no fan leaves will block light so a bud. This is really important, you can just tuck them under don't have to cut them.
the topping looks good, good job, she will grow nicely im sure!!
