🌱: Germinated after 24h, put it into her container in a jiffy after 48h 💧 : Prewatered the dry soil with 0,5l 💡 : 🤔: She did not make it, restart this time without the jiffy, it was quite hard, and she lost her head

Same issue here since yesterday, all day. No hardware is working (ios, android phone & windows machine. Seems to be a problem on the GD side. The message "Error" is also not that helpful on troubleshooting (at least on the user side).

🌱: She is developing well, the measures taken seem to be working, the new growth is slowly becoming greener, but yellow leaf tips are still visible. I am thinking of removing other smaller branches with little light exposure. But that depends on the upcoming stretch. If she stretches more, then it may be sufficient to trim the branches further outwards using LST. 💧: 8l SIP, added some acetic acid 💡: Dli: 45 mol/m²/d 🤔: I'm still looking for the reasons for the leaf problems in the previous grows. I now think that it's a combination of several factors and I'm trying to solve the problems one by one. 1. Signs of over-fertilization and CalMag deficiency - Too much NPK for the Ca (78 mg/l) + Mg (22 mg/l) present in the tap water (16°dH). . 2. Light green leaves at the new growth at the beginning of flowering. I suspect an iron deficiency, like with my rhododendrons. - Too high pH 3. Dry buds and leaves in the upper part of the plants - Too intense light After I adjusted the amount of fertilizer and the light intensity, the over-fertilization symptoms were nearly gone, there was still the pH value, which could cause the suspected iron deficiency. I regularly tested the pH value with the usual yellow test strips. They are usually yellow-green, hence pH 6.5. I have now added vinegar essence (25% acetic acid) to the watering water. The test strips are now yellow, pH 6. Let's see if that helps.

It seem as Zamnesias Lava Cake Auto is incorrectly classified as fotopriodic. Should be automatic.

I understand what you’re saying. But it is called an Auto on the packaging. This is a simple human error in the typo. Call the company and let them know you found it. I’m sure they will correct it promptly with future advertising.

🌱: Change to 2ml/l Supermix on day 50, slight Mg deficiency evident. The Supermix also contains Mg. Hopefully this won't result in over-fertilization. 💧 : 4l SIP 💡 : Dli: 45 mol/m²/d 🤔:

Day 69 💀 Unfortunately, I broke off 1/5 of the plant today 💀, Now I have a triangular plant!. So I did a partial harvest, already 73g wet 😉. "There's rarely any harm where there's no benefit," my grandma would have said. This gives me the opportunity to test an early harvest for taste and effect.

@Patricia_Zamnesia, my grow of your Lava Cake Auto is classified as photoperiod, and the Lava Cake Auto page shows this too: growdiaries.com/seedbank/zamnesia-seeds/lava-cake-automatic

I'm still looking for the reasons for the leaf problems in the previous grows. I now think that it's a combination of several factors and I'm trying to solve the problems one by one. 1. Too much fertilizer for the Ca (78 mg/l) + Mg 22 mg/l present in the tap water (16°dH). Signs of over-fertilization and CalMag deficiency. 2. Too high pH, ​​resulting in light green leaves at the new growth at the beginning of flowering. I suspect an iron deficiency, like with my rhododendrons. 3.
