human22 I'm now using LED lighting with a 60x60x80 grow tent. Despite the upgrade from the 50W CFL lamp to the LED light, growth is still relatively slow.
Lighting intensity is adjusted to ~400 PPFD (the maximum with the LED lamp)
No nutrients are being used (the soil is surprisingly rich in minerals - see week 3)
Daytime temperature is 22°C (according to Captain Hindsight; it might be beneficial to increase it a bit)

human22 First Nutrient Application
Water: pH 5.8, TDS 0.3 mS/cm
Drain: pH 7.2 (!!); TDS 1.6 mS/cm (!!)
The soil remains quite heavy, keeping the water at a low pH and TDS...
Day 21: Received new LED light (for a 120x120x200 grow tent) and installed it. Increased lighting intensity from 500 PPFD to 750 PPFD (~40 DLI). Impressive results should start showing by day 24. The plant is beginning to grow more vigorously and appears to be in much better condition!

Drain: pH 7.1, EC 3.4 mS/cm
Note: Drain readings are improving, aiming for an EC around 1.x mS/cm.
Day 25:
LST (Low-Stress Training): Tried to control plant height inside an Ikea cabinet. The plant might need to be a bit bigger for effective LST.
Day 28:
Move to Final Grow Tent: Moved the plant to a Secret Jardin Dark Street grow tent.

human22 Day 30 & 31:
LST & Defoliation: Further LST of main stem and light defoliation of shaded leaves. Many side branches developing.
Watering: 1 liter (pH 5.8; EC 1.2 mS/cm), no drain.
Day 34:
LST & Defoliation: Continued LST and defoliation (very bushy).
Watering: 1.6 liters (pH 6.2; EC 1.1 mS/cm), still no drain.
Note: Plant is very thirsty; soil is dry-ish. Will shorten the intervals between waterings until there is drain again.

human22 This week, I let her grow on her own and stretch significantly (~1-2 cm per day).
Still having issues with pH and possibly too many nutrients in the soil, but she’s handling it well.
Day 45:
Watering: 3 liters (pH 5.7; 1400 µS/cm)
Drain: 0.5 liters (pH 7.0; 2000 µS/cm)
Day 48:
Watering: 3 liters (pH 5.1; 1600 µS/cm)
Drain: 0.3 liters (pH 7.1; 2200 µS/cm)
human22 “Buying Caligen’s California cannabis seeds was an excellent choice! These seeds provide a unique opportunity to make your cultivation as effective and productive as possible. The California strains are naturally rich in aroma and effect, and Caligen’s seeds enhance these qualities. The results are remarkable—vibrant green color, strong and healthy plants, and intense aroma. It’s truly a pleasure to have such high-quality seeds!”
