The soil is heavily infested with fungus gnats. So when I started the culture, I also introduced predatory mites of the species "Hypoaspis Miles" and lacewing eggs as a preventive measure against future pests. Next time I will buy better soil.
As the effect of the predatory mites is delayed, I still have a lot of fungus gnats, but the problem should soon be under control.
This week I will give the plants a foliar fertilization with 0.5 ml/l B52. I will also start with the normal fertilization.
I started low stress training this week. I am also continuing to spray 0.5 ml/l B-52 as foliar fertilizer this week. The fungus gnat plague is contained but not yet completely eliminated.
I was on vacation this week and luckily found someone who was kind enough to look after the plants and take photos for me. So unfortunately I can't report too much but they seem to have grown well.
I have hung the lamp all the way up and am now trying to keep the shoots at the right height, but I have brought the upper shoots to the right height by super cropping, but I hope that the stretch phase is almost over. The predatory mites have now done a good job against the fungus gnats. I'm going to install an exhaust fan this week to get rid of the humidity, and I've bought an air filter for the apartment that also has a built-in activated carbon filter to combat the smell.
This week I installed new hooks in my tent so that I could hang the lamp a little higher. I also removed some of the leaves so that the ventilation is better. Apart from that, I hope that the humidity will drop when the heating comes on in my apartment. Thanks to the predatory mites, I only very rarely see individual fungus gnats.
This week the heating has been switched on so the humidity has improved. I think they look quite good although they have a bit of light stress because they have grown so close to the lamp. the Apricot is the furthest and is already spreading a good smell.
I think the apricot will be ready in a week and the other two will take a little longer. I also harvested some buds from the Apricot to improve the aeration. The plants have really become a bit too big, so next time I will use a little less substrate due to lack of space.
I have harvested the apricot and now the other two finally have more space. I am very happy with my apricot harvest. Unfortunately, the plants have grown so big that the distance to the lamp was much too small. Unfortunately I couldn't change this due to my limited height.
