ytOracle Hello, thanks for reading! Sorry in advance,... I'm not a good (legal) writer.
First day, already messed up!? Should've started in towels, right? Day 4 and nothing to see.
The cabinet is set up, but ventilation and lights still need to be installed. I want the grow to proceed as naturally as possible.
I just threw the seeds directly into Jiffys from the supermarket. After letting the Jiffys soak with tap water for 3 days until they stopped absorbing water, I poked 1 cm deep (more like 1.5 cm) holes with a stick. Dropped the seeds in and closed the hole back up.
The Jiffy wasn't too wet but moist and didn't drip at all.
I kept misting it whenever it didn't shine. It's about 23 degrees in the room. It's by the window but never in direct sunlight.
I just added clay pebbles for moisture regulation and moistened them. I think I'm just making it worse. 😨😰
What do you think? Is there anything to save? Will there be a continuation? 😱 Or a reboot?
Day 5
Yippee and again ouch!!! I looked into the pot. I see something white and want to wipe it away. Mold creature worse,
It's the Special Queen #1 Happy Birthday Baby and sorry for the crushed fontanelle.
IAMSOHAPPY.
3:32 PM I just checked again. Looks good, picture No. 3.

ytOracle The Kali Dog has seen the light of day. It grew 1 cm on the first day.
The SQ#1 is now 5 cm tall. I repotted it yesterday. I'm afraid it's already stretching. 1 L of BioBizz All*mix clay balls at the bottom and drainage. Pot, reused plastic bottle.
Both are still by the window! When should I take them into the tent?
Light is installed, just need the ventilation.

ytOracle The Special Queen #1 was about 15cm at one point. I repotted the sprouts into about 1-liter pots and forgot to sprinkle mycelium on top. Can I top it? So after planting, can I sprinkle a bit on the soil/stem and water it in?

ytOracle Kali Dog is dead. The Special Queen was finally repotted in the middle of week 3. 25-liter felt pot. I'm watering with a 1.5 L water bottle.
I made a tea from oats, chamomile, and banana peel. I'm afraid to water with it.
Since it had previously stretched a lot, I laid it on its side while repotting and buried it up to the cotyledons.
I forgot to roughen the outer skin so that roots could form more easily. What do you think, will it adapt on its own?
I'm planning to send it into flowering as soon as it reaches 30 cm tall.
I wanted to top and lollipop. Can I use the cut-off shoot as a cutting and send a little sister behind it?
At what height can I top?

ytOracle Finally, the grow box is complete and right now it’s running without an exhaust fan (barely smells unless you're sticking your nose in the plant's butt).
Does anyone know if the Spider Farmer inline fan with temperature sensor needs to be calibrated? It currently shows 30° C. The measurement of the exhaust air in the airflow is significantly lower.
A kitchen thermometer shows only 28° C. I’m watering with 1.5 liters of water a day. I mixed in the Kali Dog pot as fertilizer. I want to top and lollipop it, but I’m wondering if the time is already right.
No leaves have fallen off yet. With the last bit of soil, I buried the cotyledons. Hope that’s not fatal.

ytOracle Hello Growmees, it seems to me that it’s finally starting to pick up speed. I do like that it’s growing so compact, but since I still want to top it, it’s a bit too slow for me. I’m still feeding it tea, after that I’ll switch to Bio Bizz Bio Grow. By the time I’m in flowering, I’ll also get the Bloom package from BioBizz.
Edit. 06/13 Stem twice as thick, 5cm jump in growth.

Grow Questions
ytOraclestarted grow question 2y ago
Should I defoliate already? Are the leaves normal? Some are a bit light and/or dry and curled.

I don't really like defoliating, they should fall off on their own. It looks good, it has consumed all the resources from the soil and now it's in its final stage consuming its own resources.

Two options.
1) You can take a few of the inner leafs off that are not getting light. This will also increase airflow throughout your plant.
2) Take the bigger fan leafs off to expose the inner nodes and leaf to develops them more and also increase the airflows to the plant.
Either way would be fine.

ytOracle 1.5 L per day, sometimes with, sometimes without BioBizz Grow and Bloom. Once watered with air conditioning condensate. Since our tap water has a higher pH than desired.

ytOracle Switched to 12/12 on Monday. While the smell was only minimal before, the intensity is increasing day by day now. The stretch is enormous, 15-20cm in 3 days.
My old lady complained because she could still smell the grow one floor down when the cabinet and door were opened.
I enjoy the smell that occasionally wafts over to me.
I will now water 3 liters every other day; with 4 liters, some water ran out of the pot. I only add nutrients (BioBizz Grow&Bloom) every 2 to 3 times.
I couldn't wait any longer and did some defoliation. Every cut makes me feel like I'm destroying her.
I'm not sure anymore if I should top her. She's still looking nice and compact, in my opinion.

ytOracle I started defoliating this week. And on the second day, I topped them, but while trying low stress training, the tip broke off. It was just too early. I'm wondering if it makes sense to remove the lower branch from the side shoot since it's grown in a way that it doesn't get any light either.

ytOracle The leaves are getting lighter and yellower starting from the middle of the plant. Is that normal? I'm somehow confused with watering and fertilizing. Sometimes I use condensate water from the AC because our tap water has a higher pH level. Since the buds appeared, there's hardly any growth. The flowers are also growing very slowly.

BerrySweetHighanswered grow question 2y ago
Hello ytOracle,
Ok the problem here is not enough blooming nutrients.
Only 1 ml grow and 1 ml bloom os simply not enough. You want al least 1 ml grow, 3 ml bloom and 3 ml top max and a cal-mag supplement to prevent deficiencies like this.
You also want to measure the pH from the water. It should be around pH 6.5 in able for the plant to take up nutrients from the soil.
And when you water then you need to water till 20% runoff. To prevent nutrients salts building up inside the soil. This will cause the EC and pH to raise and will cause deficiencies because the plant will not be able to take up nutrients.
I hope this helps buddy!
Happy Growing! 💚

ytOracle The nitrogen deficiency is increasing, even though I have supplemented with coffee grounds and BioBizz Grow. I hope it's because they are organic fertilizers that need to be converted first. I've gotten mixed up with the watering. But about 3-4 liters every 2 days.

ytOracle The nitrogen deficiency seems to be resolved. However, the deep rich green isn't coming back. I think the plant has reached the end of its life cycle. It looks healthy and happy. I used a stick to loosen the soil. I just poked into the soil from the top.
I took cuttings during the transition from Veg to Bloom, and they look stunted. Only the main stem has a lot of leaves, but just trifoliate leaves. Does anyone know why? Should I keep them?
