Day 22.
As I previously mentioned, I grow plant in my own mixed super soil blend. The bottom third of the pot is filled with super soil, and the top two-thirds are filled with Biobizz All-Mix soil.
As I've observed, the Biobizz All-Mix is performing well so far. There's no need to use extra nutrients yet.
Avoiding the use of any nutrients to promote maximum organic flower growth.
I've continued to water the plants with clear, pH-balanced tap water.
The pH level of the runoff water is 6.6.
The temperature of the runoff water is 22°C.
The flower is progressing well, with no other updates.

Day 26.
During crown shaping on Day 26, I accidentally broke a branch. To stimulate the growth of new shoots from dormant buds, I shortened the damaged branch by half, leaving the laterals intact.
Day 28.
In this watering experiment, I am investigating the effects of carbonated water on root growth in a plant growing in a nutrient-rich substrate. I hypothesize that the dissolved carbon dioxide in the carbonated water will enhance root development.
Potential Benefits:
Increased CO2 uptake: The carbon dioxide in carbonated water can be absorbed by the roots, potentially boosting photosynthesis and growth.
Improved nutrient absorption: The acidity of carbonated water can increase the availability of certain nutrients in the soil, making them more readily absorbed by the plant.
Enhanced root growth: Some studies suggest that carbonated water can stimulate root growth, leading to a healthier and more robust plant.
Potential Risks:
Root shock: The sudden change in pH caused by carbonated water can shock the roots, potentially leading to nutrient deficiencies or even root death.
Nutrient imbalances: The increased acidity of carbonated water can disrupt the delicate balance of nutrients in the soil, potentially leading to nutrient deficiencies or toxicities.
Reduced microbial activity: The acidity of carbonated water can inhibit the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the soil, which are essential for healthy plant growth.
The structure of the topsoil has become looser after watering with carbonated water, possibly due to the effect of gas bubbles separating the soil particles.
The pH level of the sparkling water is 5.3.
The temperature of the sparkling water is 22°C.
The pH level of the runoff water is 6.8.
The temperature of the runoff water is 21°C.
The temperature of the dark/light time is 20.3/25.2°C.
The humidity level of the dark/light time is 58/41%
The light intensity at the closest point from the lamp to the flower is 320 μmol/m²/s.
@Istjan96, Thank you for your wish. No, I have already grown the Tatanka strain previously a couple of times. I have one growth documented in my diary, and I also grew it two times without keeping a diary.
