I am not sure about the date as I did not note it down so I needed to reconstruct the timeline
See VEG week 2 (2024-12-29) for the first picture
I have put 2 seeds in a glass of water (2024-12-11 Date is not certain.)
+2 day I transfer the seeds to paper Paper Towel
(the picture is from a previous occasion But it looks more or less exactly the same now)
After a certain number of days, the seed is sown. Great White Premium Mycorrhizae powder is also used

2024-12-20 The first day that the power consumption is noted on the lighting, so the plant should have started to show itself.
Lighting set to 20% which means 60W for 16 hours a day (Lumatek ATS 300 W LED)

2024-12-20 Is the first day that the power consumption is noted on the lighting, so the plant should have started to show itself.
FAQ
Yes, the air humidity is a bit low, but it's not possible to add moisture without creating other problems.
Yes, the lamp is a bit big, but it has a dimmer so it still works well. In addition, the light distribution from the sides is very good.
week 3
2025-01-06 2 pcs 15W LED Grow Light Bulb spot lamps added. this in combination with the previous 60w so 90 watts with effective Grow Lights
2025-01-09 It looks good and is starting to take off. Thinking about HST top cutting soon
Another week. I'm starting to wonder when to move on to the flowering phase
I also noticed that I've been running a 24 hour light cycle for an unknown number of days. I accidentally pressed the "always on button" but it doesn't seem to have done much damage, maybe that's why the plant is so compact
40% = 120w LED
Hello, a new week is here. This week things are happening. I have mounted support for future growth. I also took pictures that show that you can pull out everything including the stand. This makes it easy to reach all sides.
PPFD measurements. Note that the light is well reflected. The light does not only come straight from above, the light is strong from the side also. You can see the values in the pictures. In my previous setup, the light was significantly more concentrated in the middle and the side light was negligible (there are no comparison pictures from previous grows). Now 40% brightness 120w is used for 16 hours. The lower value in the pictures (next level is 60% 180w)
I am also thinking about increasing the nutrition by 1/3.
I've changed the timer to 12 hours cycle now. Answered (Do you think I should switch to a 12 hour light cycle? )
PLEASE GIVE ADVICE: I am open to constructive criticism. Thanks in advance.
Lessons learned so far this grow:
Using coconut instead of soil is very successful (my previous grows are not published)
I will fill my pot all the way up, the edges of the pot are otherwise in the way.
A new week, this week flowering with a 12 hour cycle. I have also raise the light watt strength in the middle of the week to 60% = 180w. See last week's photo for PPFD values. I have increased the nutrition as I think I have been a bit too worried about overfeeding lately which probably made the plant more compact

I can be 1/3 more generous with the nutrients next time.
Week 9 and second week of flowering. It's growing well and the stretching period is progressing, although I would have preferred a little more stretching so that I can ScrOG wider.
This week I have mounted the metal grid in the pot's frame. This allows for a Pull-out interior. Which is practical when you want to LST and ScrOG at the back, see pictures.
Do you guys have anything to suggest? Otherwise, I'll see you in about a week
10 weeks have now passed, and the third week of flowering. Trichomes are starting to appear on the leaves and the scent has changed from vegetative to flowering. Everything looks good and no signs of any diseases or nutritional problems, knock on wood.
The foliage underneath looks good, I didn't manage to take any pictures of the lower foliage that are worth posting. I'm pretty sure the plant uses the light well. The light distribution is very good and penetrates the foliage well. The daily light integral is about 41 (mol/m²/d) and the PPFD is about 950 µmol/m²/s No low stress training needs to be done anymore, I just need to make sure the leaves don't touch the fan blades.
