Jan_Jan Hello friends, this is my first grow that I want to take you along on. I started germinating the 3 autos in a paper towel and then placed them in a seedling pot with seedling soil. I know that opinions on seedling pots vary widely, so feel free to let me know what you think about them. When removing the seeds from the paper towel, I unfortunately damaged the root of the Cream Caramel a bit, but I couldn't see any negative effects. The little ones are a bit leggy since it was very cloudy the first few days and they were sitting on the windowsill. Now, let's get to my grow plan: As soon as my girls have their first leaves, I want to transplant them into 11L plastic pots with Biobizz Allmix as quickly as possible. I want to achieve that the seedling pots start decomposing as soon as possible, thus minimizing any restriction on root development. Hopefully, the BB Allmix isn't too strong for the little ones... Since my CaMg levels in the water are 12:1, I got Epsom salt to adjust the tap water. I plan to fertilize with BB, but I also have BioNova on hand. So far, I'm still unsure when I want to start fertilizing. If you have experience with BB fertilizer, Allmix, and autos, feel free to share in the comments. If the plants develop well, I would like to do LST with them. I'll keep the little ones on the balcony (facing east) most of the time, so I'm relying on good weather. What do you think of my plan? Good Grow 😉

Maybe we should have cut holes in the walls of the seedling pots or removed them entirely? Feel free to help me out with the fertilizer topic and send me improvement tips 😄

i tried those paper/turf/peat pots twice in my life, both time had very bad root system developing. if you wanna cut holes in those - i would say no, but if you plant to use some buckets or other plastic conteiners - then yes.

The seedling pots you use are designed for the roots to grow through and the pot eventually dissolves. I can recommend ROOT JUICE from BIO BIZZ. It strengthens root growth, and strong roots lead to strong plants.

Jan_Jan So the little ones are now in the 11l pots with BioBizz AllMix, coming from the seedling pots. I watered them right away, but unfortunately, I didn't take a break between the cycles, which is why they only weigh about 5.5 kg. The 3l was not given in 24h but once on the first day. On the windowsill, they got a bit leggy, so I potted them a little deeper. Unfortunately, it was mostly cloudy for the majority of the time. For the next run, I will also get a small lamp. Looking at the weather for the week, I'm already shuddering again.

Jan_Jan I got Bio Root Power, horsetail extract, and wire for LST at Pflanzen Kölle yesterday. The problem is that the plants are already in their final substrate, so I can't mix in the Root Power anymore. Do you think it would help to sprinkle it on the surface of the substrate? The first 3 days had plenty of sunshine, but the rest of the week looks dark again so far. At night, the plants have been coming inside behind the window from the start. The girls have drunk about 1 liter so far. I'm considering soaking all the pots again because of the watering mistake at the beginning. What do you think about that? Update Day 11: I took all 3 out of their pots and removed the peat pots. Unfortunately, I couldn't avoid damaging the roots a bit. You could already see the roots on the walls, but they only pushed through the bottom holes and didn't make it through the wall. This gives me hope that it was the right decision to damage the roots a little to give them more space. I then mixed the entire soil with 25g of Kölle Root Power (1/4 of the recommendation) and laid the bottom with clay balls. After that, they got another 2.5 liters of water and now weigh about 6.4 kg. Hello friends, today is VP 12. Yesterday, the little ones were freed from their prison and stood on the balcony all day today. In the evening, they moved to the other side of the apartment to soak up a bit more sun. For the past 2 hours, they’ve been drooping their heads more and more. This is the first time since germination that they don't look so fit. I hope they bounce back quickly and regain their strength. Unfortunately, tomorrow is supposed to be cloudy all day again with occasional rain. The awning will have to suffice to keep the girls dry. VP 14 Their heads are definitely drooping less. Unfortunately, I found white spots on the leaves in the morning. I ordered neem oil first. The plants were wiped down and sprayed with milk and horsetail extract.

The 2 spots on the front leaf and the dark areas on the stem are bothering me a bit. Do you think the plant has a problem, or am I just worrying too much again? VP 10. It's in 11l BB AllMix and was watered once at the beginning of the VP with 3l.

60 hours ago, I removed 3 seedling pots, and there were slight damages to the roots. I refilled the soil and watered the pots again. For the past 48 hours, the heads have been drooping (today they are standing straighter). This morning, I discovered white spots on the leaves. Mold or powdery mildew? What do you all think, and what should I do?

Nah, just reaction to ph variation, would not stress at all.

Jan_Jan VP 17 For the last 3 days, they've been peacefully growing on the balcony. They've gotten a bit of rain, but all in moderation. Unfortunately, the little ones still have spots (it looks to me like they're deeper in the plant now). VP18 Today, the little ones came back inside because of the thunderstorm. I cleaned the leaves again and this time sprayed them with neem oil according to the manufacturer's instructions (that's why the leaves are hanging a bit). It would be great if you could comment on whether this is powdery mildew. I find it relatively hard to wipe off and have the feeling it's burning into the leaves. The little ones are 23 days old (after germination), what do you think of them otherwise? Also, what do you think about me starting to fertilize a bit and doing LST in the coming days? Luckily, the Runtz is not affected. VT21 I got rid of powdery mildew on Sticky Beast and Cream Caramel (but I'm still doubting whether it was really powdery mildew...). Unfortunately, there are now brown-yellow spots... The Runtz is showing the same initial symptoms as the other two since today.

Transplant as soon as the roots come out of the seedling pot. Only start fertilizing after transplanting, and it's best to use a maximum of half of what is recommended. 1. I would leave the grow and LST on the windowsill... LST with autos is only limited (Any stress results in losses at harvest because they run on a timer) Maybe invest in a pH meter and regulator (pH+, pH-). Happy growing, Growmie!👍

Sorry for the confusion, I'm already on VP day 10 and just started the blog and caught up on the weeks now. @Mooncat, a pH meter is on the next shopping list. I also wanted to start LST at the end of this week or next week. It's mainly on the balcony now and not by the window anymore. I got some Pflanzen Kölle Bio Wurzelkraft and was thinking about sprinkling it on the substrate. Do you think that makes sense, and should I start fertilizing later since it has NPK 7+3+7? Thanks for the quick reply 😀
