Grow | 02.0 | Dec 2024 | Mimosa

All the plants have recovered from the nitrogen deficiency using the method of increasing the nutrient solution and applying Canna Mono Nitrogen in a 1:1000 solution with a spray bottle. The Mimosa is growing and growing! It's a lot of fun to watch. Like all the other plants, it currently requires quite a bit of care to guide the shoots in the right direction. The plant on the left, which had issues at the beginning, has fully developed this week and is now on par with the other plants. For a week now, the roots have reached the bottom of the pots and can now draw water through the Autopot system, which is working very well. However, I made the mistake of adding Canna Rhizotonic to the nutrient solution, which led to contamination in the tubing system. Fortunately, I was able to fix this easily by cleaning it. It's important not to use organic fertilizers like Rhizotonic or Boost Accelerator in the Autopot system. These need to be applied to the plants from above as usual. At the moment, I’m concerned about the EC value (the electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution measured in Siemens per meter), which is at 2.7 when it should ideally be at 1.7. I’m still investigating the cause of this issue.
