Welcome to my first diary in 2025. As I am a seed addict, I could not resist buying a few Fast Buds seeds. Since my Auto Orange President did not germinate, and I wanted a sativa dominant auto, I chose Amnesia Skizztlez Auto. She germinated in a paper towel on December 29, 2024, was transplanted into an Agrawool Speedgrow plug and put into her final pot four days later on January 2, 2025. I am using Dynomyco Mycorrhiza to boost root development. The pot is a Lechuza Classico Color LS 28, which I filled with Lechuza BasicPon. More on the pot, substrate and fertilizer scheme in the next week.
The lady still looks a little damaged, but I am sure she will be fine. I am using a Lechuza Classico Color LS 28 with Basic Pon (mineral substrate without fertilizer). Big advantage of the LS version compared to the normal version is that the plant sits in a separate pot, which can be lifted from the main pot. So I can reuse the water in the reservoir to water the lady from above. Only drawback, the container only has 7l of substrate compared to 9l in the normal version; the water reservoir is 2l for both. After four to five weeks, the roots reach the reservoir and then I only have to fill the reservoir and the plant takes what she needs. My SanLight EVO 3-80 is currently on 30%; with one of the two available fans activated, the total power consumption for three plants is 68W when the lights are on. I am also showing you my custom ferzilizer scheme based on my experience in the last year, on tips of other growers (special thanks to @Narnius62 from grower.ch) and on a detailed discussion with Claude 3.5 Opus. I am really curious how this turns out. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. I am more than happy if you follow my little journey to plant perfection :-)
The growth is slow, but steady. I have seen this pattern of very slow and slightly crumpled growth in all of my sativa dominant runs. Therefore, I am not worried, she will be fine, but will take at least three weeks longer than advertised. I started with a few drops of NPK 8-8-6 fertilizer (Wuxal Universal) to bring the EC level to roughly 1250 at ph 6.5.
The lady grows slowly, but steadily. Nothing to worry about. I am still watering from above, reusing the water, which drops into the reservoir. To support her development, I sprayed her one with Haifa Polyfeed 18-18-18 solution. She seemed to have liked it!
Growth is still steady, but slow. The girl is looking perfectly healthy. I water her every two days using Polyfeed 18-18-18 as nutrient. I also sprayed her two times with a Polyfeed and Fulvital solution.
Amnesia Z is growing strongly and entered the flowering phase. I increased the SanLight EVO 3-80 (190W) to 70%. She is now fully fed through the water reservoir, so that the grow can be considered a hydro-culture. To prevent nutrient deficiencies, I gave her some Iron (Fe) and other micronutrients through Humiron Mix WSP. I also started to add a flower booster (Haifa Vitaphos NPK 4-31-49).
Amnesia Z is growing their flowers nicely and has made another huge stretch. She gets more P and K as well as Calcium, Magnesium and Iron. Her structure is airy, looks like a typical Sativa.
Amnesia Z is stretching further. Her buds are forming nicely. I set the lights to 100% (190W). After some experimenting, the feeding schedule is to give her once the reservoir is empty any other time either Calcinit or Mix WSP (containing especially iron). The rest stays the same. This brings the EC level to slighty over 1.5, with which she seems to be ok. The ph of the rain water is going to below 5 after all of the nutrients so that I add a little soda (approx. 0.1g) to bring the ph back to 5.8.
