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.

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. 👋😀👍
