AsNoriu Day 0. So i start with old seeds, will try to make it . Seeds are more tgan 1 year old. Those seeds are from event i won. Will upload photos with original package. I have grown even 7 years old seeds, so i hope they will make it too.
Plagron Green Sensation i got from a win in event here, so i will use it 4sure. I will run 1 seed without it vs 1 seed with it vs 1 seed with everything i have from Plagron, just for my own curiosity and research .
This grow is special for me. I normally got everything from Mars Hydro for free, here all equipment is bought, despite that i had same things, but i gave all my equipment away during my time in UK ... New beginning !!!
Will try to blend my own soil, all ingredients are bought from simple Agro shop. It will be mix of garden soils, peat, perlite. I plan to add cheap mycorrhizae too, i just can't afford my standart ingredients, so i will test how good cheap version will work.
Nutrients i plan to use - all i can and have. Will enrich soil with slow release nutes from Ecothrive, during grow will use mainly S&R Organics brand from Germany ( i won a bit of them in events here ) and as extras will be Plagron. Calcium nitrate, mono potassium, wood ash, epsom salt , everything i have - will go in at certain stages .Hope it will work.
Water will be biggest issue, thats summer time house and water is supplied during summers only, so for beginning it will be bottled water from shop, later rain water if i will manage to collect enough. Only during last month i plan to have steady supply of it from tap.
Ecothrive - Neutralise will be used to prevent chlorines, ph will be adjusted too.
Popped seeds. Hopefully all will wake up. Used seedlings gardening soil from Agro shop. Used half of the bag for 18 seeds, so each pot cost like 5 Euro cents . Used plastic containers from sour cream, so it cost 0. Made like 6-8 holes on the bottom for draining. 100 ml to each pot. Covered with plastic. Still no light, will put it on on day 2. Temps around 20 , humidity 50%, used wet towel to raise it from 30. Cheap way, but always delivers, think tomorrow ill see even 60 , when all room will setup. All vents are closed, no fans yet.
100 ml of 6.5 phed water in
Day 2. Still no life, humidity low. Resoaked towel and hanged back.
50 ml of phed water in.
Lights on ! No timer yet, will keep this week under 24/0, then will switch to 18/6. Mars gave humidity and temps indicator and timer together with light, was pleasantly surprised, when they sent this light for test, there was none. Made DIY humidity dome from frost fleece.
Day 4. First girl out ! 3 seeds total, but she was first even from all 18 i try to start.
Will be updated very soon !
Happy Growing !!!

AsNoriu Day 13. Project is struggling a lot. This girl is the only normal result from first wave.
I had 48 hours of no electricity, so temps were down to +5, most of seeds created roots, but died eventually ...
Will transplant her in few days ...

AsNoriu Day 16. Transplanted to 40 liters. She is not happy.
Day 17. Obvious damage, too strong soil or too high ph ( use bottled water, not adjusting ph yet ).
Put extraction fan on. 25 % output, have slight negative pressure. Honestly was expecting way bigger fan and filter, a bit disappointed by Mars ...
Day 20. Damage is done, most probably too strong soil with wrong NPK. Time should heal her. Top of plant looks okeish.
Rubbed her to check spots and she STINKS !!! So early !!! Good sign i think.
Happy Growing !!!

Yesterday came to tent and it was dark. Timer broke down during last two days, free cheap stuff from Mars Hydro, was happy when they gave it, but now i am pissed, hope no hermie from this trick ...
Tuck leaves and expose side branches every time i visit them.
Light is still on 35% output.
Still no feeding. Maybe next week ill start.

AsNoriu Day 44 since seed touched soil. Girl is having issues, heavy magnesium deficiency. Epsom salt 100 ppm to the rescue. Plus started feeding with S&R organics line. Finally have water supply, ph 6.3 in most cases from now. Again had no electricity for 12 hours, temps are very low, but she grows. Nights about 17, days 20-21. Top spot has a split, released ties for that part of plant, should heal up.

AsNoriu Day 58 since seed touched soil. We still struggle with temps, magnesium and i am constantly late for watering ... but she grows as a champ ! Got trolleys, now roots will get more air and moving arount tent is way easier. Fabric pots dont like touching, so trolleys helps a lot not to rip roots while moving pot ..

AsNoriu Day 64 since seed touched soil. Huge disaster !!!!! ussually i water them every 4-5 days, but i got stucked in my summer time house on the lake and was with the girls after 7 days !!! some took heavy damage, some leaves were dry as paper and brittle, at this point i was heavily thinking to chop all and stop that nonsense, worst grow in my life with so many troubles ... Girl is tallest in the video.

Added 3g of vegan phosphor to the pot, there is no option for grams, so in nute list info is wrong.

Cleaned bottoms heavily.

AsNoriu Day 102 since seed touched soil. Still 3g of phosphorus and mycorrhizae to pot, once a week. Green sensation is now 1ml/L , will use same doze till the end. Epsom salt 100 ppm. Girl is flying, got funky purple tint, havent seen it in other diaries of this strain.
This grow is very complicated, in basement, so humidity is very high, have 3 oscillation fans running non stop, plus extraction fan on 70%. I did not one grow with such high RH , hopefully this will go smooth too !

AsNoriu Day 114 since seed touched soil. Decided to clean bottoms a bit and on first worthless shoot found one leaf with White Powdery Mildew !!!!!! OMG this grow never lets me easy, always some tantrums !!! Cleaned like 50 sideshoots, lolipoped 5cm up more than it was befor, so girl was thin out heavily. That was the only leaf i found .... Hopefully no more mold !!!!
All fans on max power, extraction fan on 100%

Good luck with your new recipes, mate! There are two brands I really like here in Europe for solid amendments – one is EcoForce - Cultivers, and the other is MycoTerra, in case you want to check them out. 😉 As for mycorrhizae, I’ve also been searching for alternative options that offer a good balance between price, quantity, and quality – but no luck so far. I still think the best cost-benefit option is Mykos from Xtreme Gardening.

@BelSun_420, i just cant afford anything at this time, i had too many things stashed from wins or sponsorships, so i went with new nute line, new ingridients and so on. Fact 1 - i will buy only branded soil from now on. Fact 2 - if i ever grow indoors again, only Planet Success - Great White and Ecothrive - Biosys, that mix is a killer. I had myco from ProMix to try out, havent finished grows yet, but roots seems ok, so maybe an option too. those cheap mycos from agro shop never brought desired results ...
