Turtleinweed Ahoy and welcome to my second diary! Although my current run hasn't finished yet😅. I'm addicted to this forever now.
My new tent has arrived, and I want to use my current runs to germinate and encourage some growth. My autos should be ready to harvest in 3-4 weeks.
I start germinating in cotton pads, and after germination, I plant them in BioBizz LightMix with 2% Florganics LivingSoil and added a root-enhancer.

Turtleinweed Hey, I currently only have time for three plants, so I merged both diaries and selected the three best-looking seedlings. All the seeds germinated, so that's a win!

Turtleinweed Week two: All plants experienced some burn; I guess my soil is a bit too spicy, and it's too hot and dry in the tent. So, I built a simple dome to keep them at least moist.
I'm just adding water and waiting for the best time to top all three plants.
3/3- Transplanted all 3 in 3l pots

Turtleinweed It's Week 3, and I’ve been working on my plants. I topped all three, and I’ve started LST on Rainbow Belts and Fruit Spirit.
I’m considering mainlining Power Flower, but I haven’t decided yet. I also switched back to my older SF2000 light.

Turtleinweed It's week 4, and I’ve put the plants through a lot of stress. I’m giving them 2-3 weeks to recharge and gain some growth before transplanting them into 35L pots. After that, I’ll lollipop them and give them another 2 days before switching to flower.
I’m not sure if my method with Power Flower qualifies as main-lining or just HST, but I’m sticking with my approach and hoping for a positive outcome.
Day 26: They are thriving and handling stress like champions. I’ve prepared my living soil using a mix of 2/3 light substrate, 1/3 coco, worm castings, oats and florganics. It needs 14 days to activate before I transfer everything into my 35L pots.

Turtleinweed Hey everyone, it's week 6, and I’ve been quite busy! For the first time, I mixed the substrate myself. I used 70% Biobizz Lightmix, 30% Biobizz Coco, along with some worm castings and Rootmax. As fertilizer, I’m using Flo by Floranics. And voilà my living soil, which will last for at least a year, is ready! I also prepared the compost tea and am using three 35-liter pots.
I finally upgraded from my 2x4 tent to a spacious 5x5 setup. I’ve installed a new filter, added the FC4000 Evo light, and set up the Blumat Drip System.

Turtleinweed Hey, it's week 7. Due to the stress I caused in the first 5 weeks, the plants are still a bit small. The transplanting went well, though they're showing some color and growth. I'll leave them in the vegetative stage for at least another 7 days. I've learned a lot about how too much stress can stagnate a plant's development. I may have overdone it a little! ^^
Apr/10 : Zamnesia's genetics are impressive. After so much stress, she's recovering quickly. In just a few days, her vibrant leaf colors are back. RqS is a bit slower but coolores coming back too

Turtleinweed Welcome to the first week of flowering! All the girls have shown some growth, and I decided not to lollipop them.
Day53: Added a Scrog net. Blumat is doing its work nothing to do for me.

Turtleinweed It is now the second week of flowering. I have carried out a moderate defoliation and removed some popcorn buds.
All the plants appear healthy and vigorous. I hope their growth does not stagnate too much.
