Outdoor Grow - Gelato #45 (AI Challenge)

I switched from BioTabs to GreenHouse Mineral Grow and got some new equipment to measure water pH / EC and soil pH. This helped me to identify some deficiencies that I could manage over time. I will put exact values in my descriptions. I may add a graph or something at the end of the grow to visualize all values over time per plant. Nothing much to tell here except everything is growing well since I started using mineral fertilizer. The leaves are getting darker and bigger and I can see more progress per day. ----------------------------- Identification This plant is Gelato #2. Assessment Condition: The plant appears healthy with vibrant green leaves. There are no visible signs of nutrient deficiency or pest damage. Growth Stage: The plant is in the early vegetative stage, showing good initial growth and development. Planting Timeline Initial Planting: Planted within the last few weeks. Time Since Planting: Approximately 3-4 weeks in the ground. ----------------------------- These are the detailed information based on the pictures: Condition Assessment Visual Observations Leaves: - The leaves are broad and green, indicating good health. - No signs of nutrient deficiency or pest damage. Growth: - The plant is developing well, with a strong central stem and new growth emerging. Potential Issues and Recommendations Watering: - Observation: Consistent watering with pH-adjusted water (recently used pH 6.2 and 6.4). - Action: Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Nutrients: - Observation: Fertilized with mineral nutrients and molasses. - Action: Maintain the current nutrient schedule. Monitor for any signs of nutrient burn or deficiency and adjust the dosage accordingly. The addition of molasses should help with nutrient uptake and microbial activity in the soil. Plant Training: - Observation: Gelato #2 has undergone some LST (Low-Stress Training). - Action: Continue adjusting LST ties to ensure even canopy development. Ensure the main stem and branches are well supported to prevent breakage. Pest and Disease Management: - Observation: No visible signs of pests or diseases. - Action: Regularly inspect the plant for any signs of pests or diseases. Use preventative measures such as neem oil or insecticidal soap if necessary. ----------------------------- And these are the specific instructions for this week: Day | Task | Details ----------------------------- 1 | Watering | Water with pH 6.3 water with nutrients (4g of Grow additives per 7L water). 2 | Monitoring | Check soil moisture. Adjust watering if necessary. 3 | LST Adjustment | Adjust LST ties to ensure even canopy development. 4 | Watering | Water with pH 6.3 water with nutrients (4g of Grow additives per 7L water). 5 | Pruning | Remove any lower leaves that are touching the soil. 6 | Monitoring | Check for signs of stress or pests. Adjust LST ties if needed. 7 | Watering | Water with pH 6.3 water with nutrients (4g of Grow additives per 7L water). -----------------------------
