Cannabis seeds were pre-germinated between 2 wet paper towels and then transferred to the grow medium. I'll update the photos of the week as soon as the ladies stick their heads out :)
Grow Tend is a 60x60x160cm
Grow Soil is Bio Canna Terra Plus
Temps are 24°C and 78% humidity
The lights are running on 20%
Update: Unfortunately, it seems that there are a few Sciaridae in the earth. Nematodes are ordered.
Update2: Nematodes were introduced into the Soil
Good start into the first week of vegetation, so far the ladies look healthy, and the yellow boards have also shown their effect against Sciaridae. Nematodes should do the rest. This week I'm going to start with the fertilizer scheme (https://2fast4buds.com/de/news/canna-naehrstoffplan-anleitung) from FastBuds for Biocanna and see how the ladies react to it. I will upload updates of the next few days and add them here.
Starting in week 2, the ladies are unfortunately showing slight signs of deficiencies, the fertilizer schedule only calls for light fertilization for the first week, I would adjust this for the next grow with Biocanna Terra Pro soil and fertilize more. The ladies already received their fertilizer load at the start of the week and now I hope that the slight deficiencies will subside
Starting week 3, the ladies look good as far as I can tell 😉 The slight problems in week 2 turned out to be a Cal Mag problem. I have a value of 5.25 to 1 in the irrigation water, I have this value with bitter salt balanced out that a 3 to 1 value is created and also foliar fertilization was carried out, this seems to be good for the ladies. As an information, the Cherry Cola Auto already has a very strong smell so it is not recommended without an activated carbon filter. I hope the aroma becomes even more intense when it blooms 😋
Week 3 Day 6 it appears the Cherry Cola Auto is now in pre-flowering I will adjust the fertilizer next week for pre-flowering. The Gorilla Cookies Auto shows no signs of pre-flowering yet.
Start in week 4. The Cherry Cola Auto is in pre-flowering, so the fertilizer schedule will be adjusted for her.
There is no sign of pre-flowering on the Gorilla Cookies Auto yet, so she will still be receiving the old fertilizer schedule this week
W4 D2: Both ladies are now in their pre-bloom 😁
Unfortunately there were problems with the GCA this week and the CCA also showed slight problems. The problem is a severe magnesium deficiency because my water unfortunately has a ratio of 5.25:1 and this was now very clear. I have now set a ration of 3:1 water with bitter salt and CalMag and hope that the plants do not show any further problems
Unfortunately, my ladies are suffering... It's probably because of the water, I've read a lot about it now and my water values are anything but good:
Conductivity: 507 µS/cm
Calcium: 94.7 mg/l
Magnesium: 17.8 mg/l
Water hardness: 17.3 °dh
PH: 7.3.
I now mix my irrigation water 1:1 with distilled water and top up the CalMag values with a preparation to a 3:1 ratio. I hope that this will help my ladies recover a little. For my next attempt, I am now aware of the problems and am considering getting a reverse osmosis system, as distilled water will increase the price of the grow in the long run.
