zimmergaertner The plan is to grow one nice little plant indoors. If it yields a few nice buds, I'm happy. If it yields more than 10 grams dry, I'm super happy. My setup: - 2,5 l (0,5 gal) plastic pot - Coco-perlite mix (70/30) - Generic fertilizer for vegetation and blooming - EC meter I put the seed directly into the pre-buffered coco coir and poured some tap water over it. Now I wait until it sprouts under its plastic dome. Before someone mentions it: Yes, transparent pots are not optimal for root development. I just had this pot available and at least it will be interesting to watch the roots grow inside.

zimmergaertner It sprouted!! As soon as the first real leaves were there, I started giving nutes at around 500 uS/cm and pH of slightly below 6. I try to keep the soil moist but not wet. DLI is around 14 mol/m² @ 14 h/day. The leaves are rather small and wrinkly, but nothing to worry about (I hope).

zimmergaertner Update on day 11: I ramped up to 0,9 EC. The plant seems to take up the nutrients well. I water every day 1-2 times and try to target 5.8-5.9 pH. My fear was that I water too much and stunt root development, but the tap root reached the bottom by like day 6 and some side roots are currently touching the side of the pot. Coco really gives gread aeration! DLI has increased to 17 or so. I am happy so far.

zimmergaertner Topped above third node. Some leaves are deformed, maybe the plant is disturbed by a second lamp next to its main lamp. DLI raised to ~30, EC raised to 0.9. I find it strange that outflow EC is always lower than nutrient EC (0.7 vs 0.9). For the next week I will further ramp up EC and start binding down side branches.

zimmergaertner It's getting bushy and the first pistils are appearing. The EC increased to 1.2 mS/cm and the plant seems to take it up. I find it a little worrying that the leaves are clawing and feel like crepe paper, but whatever. Next week will be preflowering, so I will introduce bloom nutrients. Also, carefully tying down brances will be crucial to create an even canopy during the stretch.

zimmergaertner The LST paid off, the canopy looks nice and even. I removed some bigger leaves that I could not tuck under the new growth. Still no signs of buds :/ Maybe reducing the lighting schedule to 12/12 will help.

zimmergaertner Finally, the plant is transitioning to flowering. It already smells like lemon balm. I reduced the nutrient strength to 1.0 EC because some leaves have a dark green shade and claw. The plant stands under a 100 W Viparspectra LED panel at a distance of around 25 cm. I applied heavy defoliation this week and adjusted some side branches with garden wire. One branch snapped in the process :/

zimmergaertner The smell gets stronger as the buds form. I switched to 100% bloom nutrients and will up the dosage. Currently it's 1.2 EC input vs 0.9 EC runoff. It wants more, I guess. P. S.: Unfortunately, I had to abort this grow. Sorry!
