1er cultivo indoor, desde semilla

Croqueta_Humana First week of vegetative, in the photos you can see the growth of the plants. I have them on a 16-hour light period because I plan to make clones for outdoor cultivation in a few months, so if I keep them on 18 hours of light indoors, when I take them outside they will revegetate because they have less than 15 hours. They all stretched a bit, so I moved the lights a little closer. Measuring with the PPFD app on my phone shows about 300 ppfd at the tip of the middle plant, which should be more than enough; I hope it's not excessive and starts showing symptoms of light excess. The temperature is maintained at around 21-22°C and humidity between 90 and 80%. I'm watering by irrigation, as each one is in 2 cups, 1 where I put the water or nutrient solution, and inside that I put the cup with the substrate with holes in the bottom to absorb the water. I added about 40ml of solution to each cup with the base fertilizer from Plagron and Rhizotonic for rooting. The pH was at 5.6 and the EC at 1.1. The water is tap water rested for 24 hours.

Croqueta_Humana I transplanted to 4L pots. The idea is to transplant to the final 11L pot in about 4 weeks. After that, there isn't much more to update; the temperature is still 21-22°C, the humidity remains at 70%, and the middle plant receives about 300ppfd measured with the PPFD Meter app. They continue with 16 hours of light. I watered with 600ml of solution. The pH is around 5.6 and the EC is 1.2.

Croqueta_Humana 3rd week of veg, this week has been very cold and dry. They are still on 16 hours of light, during which the temperature stays between 18 and 20°, but at night it can drop to as low as 16°. It's also been quite a bit drier, but the humidity has remained at 60%. I have the option to use a humidifier to raise the humidity, but with the cold, I don't think it's convenient; I would only use it if it drops to 50%. I'm still watering once a week. I watered again with 0.6L per plant, with an EC of 1.5 and a pH of 5.6-5.7. I did a foliar spray with potassium soap, sulfur, and HPK as a pest preventive. I messed up the proportions in the foliar solution, and since the plants are still small, some leaves got burned. The leaves are growing a bit deformed, but they continue to grow normally.

Croqueta_Humana Change of plans, increasing to 18 hours of light The cold days continue and this has caused the temperature to fluctuate, but it stays between 17 and 20 degrees This week I started training with some clips or croppers I didn't put clips on all of them since, for example, the lebron haze have a pretty short internodal distance and I'm going to do an apical when I transplant them to the final pot, although I did put one on that was more stretched to try it out The Fancy all have clips except for one that is lagging in growth and I don't want to do anything to it, it's still growing very slowly and I don't think it's a good plant, I'm not going to stress it and just let it grow I broke the stem of the mimosa and one of the Fancy when putting on the clip, I wrapped the mimosa with tape around where it broke and left it like that until it recovers and I'll see what I do, whether I leave it like that or do some pruning The Fancy only broke a little, so I left the clip on and hope it recovers

Croqueta_Humana I finished doing the training and pruning that I planned before transplanting to the final pot and moving them to the 1.5x1.5 tent where I'm going to do the flowering. I did LST on the 5 Fancys with the croppers, which is actually more supercropping than LST. These 5 are growing very well, 4 of them, and there's 1 that seems like it doesn't really like the light, or for some reason I don't know, it's falling behind, but I still put clips on it to train it. The Mimosa Evo recovered from when I broke the stem, and to avoid twisting it again and risking breaking it again, I did an apical prune and it's resumed growth. For the Lebron Haze, I did an apical prune on one, I put croppers on another, and on the last one, I put a cropper and also did an apical prune, to try out various techniques and experiment. The leaves were getting a bit dark, so I did this week's watering with an EC of 1.3 and pH 5.6. The temperature is managed between 16 and 20°, and the humidity hovers around 55 to 70%. I estimate that in about a week I'll move them to 11L pots to switch to flowering in 2 or 3 weeks.

Croqueta_Humana Transplanted to a final 11L pot and moved to the 1.5x1.5m flowering tent. I placed the lights as high as the tent and the pulleys allowed, with the power at 55%, which gives about 350ppfd at the center canopy. I watered with tap water that I let sit for about 24 hours. The solution had an EC of 1.7, although I think I overdid it and should have watered with a lower EC. I adjusted the pH using MEN to add microorganisms and bring the solution's pH down to 5.8. The idea is to continue the vegetative stage for 2 to 3 more weeks and then switch to 12-12.

Croqueta_Humana It's been a few days, but they are already recovering from the stress of transplanting and the change of environment. I had to lower the light intensity to 40% because they weren't adapting well to the change and all that light. Now it's showing around 300 ppfd. These days have been very changeable in terms of humidity, as the first days after the transplant the humidity was very low, and now it's been raining for a few days and it's super humid. With the humidifier, I managed to raise the humidity above 60%, and now that it's very humid, it stays at 70% with the dehumidifier. I watered with 1L per plant with a pH of 5.9 and EC of 1.6.

Croqueta_Humana This week the growth was a bit stalled because I was playing with the light intensity, which caused quite a bit of stress to the plants. I tried to increase the intensity a bit, but the plants were looking very droopy, so I went back to the previous intensity. Seeing that lowering the intensity improved the plants, I decreased it by another 5%, and I'm keeping it there since the plants reacted very well and look great, so I don't plan to modify it again until they go into flowering. They are still in 11L pots, and I was thinking of finishing the grow in those pots, but filling the space is taking me longer than expected, so it's likely that I'll do another 1 to 2 weeks of vegetative growth and then transplant to 18-20L pots. There are already many roots coming out from the bottom of the pot, and there are plants like the Fancy that are taking a lot of water, so I think transplanting to larger pots before flowering is the best option. I watered with 1.6 of Total EC, including the EC of the water, the plants have a nice color and look very healthy, I don't see it as necessary to increase the feeding. I used microorganisms and enzymes to regulate the pH of the solution, which ended up at a pH of 5.9, and also to keep the substrate clean and avoid salinization and over-fertilization. I'm still training the plants with clips and bending the branches, mainly to keep them all at the same height, although I wouldn't spend too much time opening them up too much to the sides so they don't grow taller.

Croqueta_Humana Week 9, it's getting long Initially, I thought it would be ready to switch to flowering in a maximum of 8 weeks, but here we are in week 9 and there are still 2 weeks to go. Next week, I'll be transplanting to an 18-20L pot, which will be the final pot. I'll also do some cleaning at the bottom, preparing everything for when it recovers to switch to 12/12. I’m still watering with vegetative nutrients, using tap water that has been sitting for 24 hours to let the chlorine evaporate, which has an EC of 0.35 as it comes out. I watered with an EC of 1.68 and a pH of 5.9. A large part of the surface is already covered; I won’t keep opening the branches, I’ll just let them grow taller and finish filling the space before switching to flowering.

Croqueta_Humana Defoliation, lollipopping, and transplanting to 20L I did a pretty aggressive defoliation and pruning before the transplant, getting everything ready to switch to flowering in 1 week I moved from 11L pots to 20L pots, now it's the final pot I lowered the EC of the watering solution since the plants were very dark green and the leaves looked like cardboard I watered with an EC of 1.2, and 5.9 pH I already set up the net to start training them and in about 7 days I'll switch to 12/12

Croqueta_Humana The moment has come, I changed the photoperiod to 12/12. I watered with flowering fertilizer to lower the nitrogen levels, and also with a slightly low EC since there were signs of over-fertilization. I watered with an EC of 1.2 and a pH of 6.

Croqueta_Humana you can see the stretch, but they haven't started to flower yet I watered with a liter of nutrient solution, and I reinforce watering only with water and microorganisms every other day since they are taking quite a bit of water The pH of the solution is around 6.2 and the EC of the watering with fertilizers was 1.3
