greengenetics420 Seedlings: week 1 to 2
On April 26, I used the water glass method and placed the three seeds in a water bath. All three seeds germinated within 24 hours. On April 27, the seedlings were transferred to EazyPlugs measuring 3.5 × 5 H cm. There they were given a sip of water with Terra Aquatica Root Booster and Glückspilze Mycorrhiza Soluble.
From April 28, I used new lighting for growth: the Secret Jardin TLED with 25 watts (3x). On May 1, the seedlings were already 3-4 cm tall and the first roots were visible on the ground. I am very pleased with their progress and they will soon be able to move into their new pots.
On May 3, the time had finally come and the ladies were planted in Bio Nova Light Mix soil. Each pot had a capacity of 0.5 liters, which allows the plants to develop strong roots and grow a little taller. I also prepared the 2-liter pots that day. For this, I mixed Bio Nova Light Mix with 2g of Erdkraft and 4g of biochar per 2 liters of soil.
P2 fell over on May 4. In order to be able to determine the phenotype at the end, I marked the plants in P1, P2, and P3. All were stabilized and tied until the stem could support the weight of the canopy on its own. The fan was set to the highest setting and the humidity was increased. At the same time, they were treated with Trichoderma and mycorrhizal spores that day.
Today, May 10th, the plants were watered with Terra Aquatica Root Booster, Terra Aquatica Seaweed, and Superthrive Vitamin Solution. All the plants are now standing on their own again and have gained strength. Unfortunately, I have thrips in the house again, so I treated them with BAC Vital today.

greengenetics420 11.05.24 It looks like no thrips survived, the treatment with BAC Vital helped, and I was able to keep the humidity a bit higher by spraying water several times a day. Today, the ladies were planted in their 2-liter pots, where they can now grow until they move into the 30-liter pots. They got a good gulp of water with Terra Aquatica Root Booster, Terra Aquatica Seaweed, and Glückspilze Mycorrhiza Soluble.
12.05.24 The plants have handled the repotting super well so far, showing no signs of stress, and the leaves are standing great against the sun.
13.05.24 The little ones are already showing strong growth again, so they were topped today with tweezers. I think they will reduce stress over the next three days and then start growing the lower shoots upwards. Since we want a 120x120 area with a closed canopy, it's important that the little ones grow wide early on.
16.05.24 The plants are generally showing good growth, despite the unsuitable environment; the temperature and humidity are too high. Improvements are being worked on, but the current outside temperatures aren't making it easier. Phenotype 1 shows some strange curled growth but is still growing normally in height and width. Phenotype 2 has very odd brown spots on the lower large leaves; it almost looks like it's burning and becoming necrotic. I rule out a nutrient deficiency since all the other plants are doing well. Phenotype 3 is developing completely to my satisfaction so far.

greengenetics420 18.05 The plants are showing super growth, tomorrow they'll get water with nutrients from BioNova for the first time. Phenotype 1 is showing some weird curly growth, but it's still growing normally in height and width. Phenotype 2 has some very strange brown spots on the lower large leaves; it almost looks like it's burning and becoming necrotic. I can rule out a nutrient deficiency since all the other plants are doing well. Phenotype 3 is developing completely to my satisfaction so far.
19.05. Today I removed the leaves from the ladies. Afterwards, they received a strong water boost with the following additives:
Terra Aquatica Root Booster
Terra Aquatica Seaweed
Super Thrive Vitamin Solution
BioNova Soil Supermix
Finally, I gave them a spray with BioTabs Boom Boom to better cope with the stress of defoliation.
24.05. During today's watering with 5 liters of water, I added the following nutrient amounts:
10 ml Terra Aquatica Fulvic
25 ml Terra Aquatica Root Booster
20 ml Terra Aquatica Seaweed
6 ml BioNova Soil Mix
0.8 ml Super Thrive Vitamin Solution
Overall, the plants are developing excellently in the 2nd week of vegetation.

greengenetics420 27.05 During today's watering with 5 liters of water, I added the following nutrients:
25 ml Terra Aquatica Root Booster
0.8 ml Super Thrive Vitamin Solution
6 ml BioNova Soil Mix
I noticed that the growth has slowed down a bit. Probably the roots have gotten too big for the current pots.
29.05 Today I only provided the plants with water.
01.06 Today I finally found the time to clean the flowering tent and prepare for the plants' move. The ladies were able to move into their new 30-liter pots. For this, I used fresh BioNova Bio Soil Mix, which I enriched with BioNova MicroLife Soil Enhancer and BioNova Profimix.
For their move, the plants each received 2 liters of nutrient solution. This consisted of:
50 ml Terra Aquatica Root Booster
25 ml Terra Aquatica Fulvic
20 ml Terra Aquatica Humic
50 ml Terra Aquatica Seaweed
2 tsp Glückspilze Mycorrhiza Soluble
1 pinch Terra Aquatica TrikoLogic

Today I noticed that all the plants look quite worn out. This was to be expected, as the move to the new, larger pots always triggers a certain stress reaction. However, I am confident that the plants will recover from this stress in the coming days and will then grow even stronger.

This week, the plants have actually developed splendidly, without any further care interventions from me. I just let them grow, and they didn't need any extra water. On Sunday, it's time for defoliation again, and probably another topping.
Overall, it seems that the move to the larger pots has done the plants a lot of good. I'm curious to see how they will continue to develop in the coming weeks.
