Apple Fritter #1

lonergrower Hello everyone. Settling into the substrate was without a problem and girl already greening up beautifully! The vegetation phase has begun. I'll go the classic 18/6 cycle route. My grow tent is still a work in progress, I didn't have a humidifier for the first few days and the humidity of 40% was not ideal, but I am working on improving it over the next days and weeks. My goal is to make everything as "smart" as possible so Home Assistant and Raspberry Pi 4 serve as a control center. It's quite fun, finally a reason to start playing with ESP32 and other silly stuff :) Day 1 - cotyledons hit the surface and catch the first photons Day 3 - first watering, ~150ml with 0.4ml/l BioBizz Root Juice (~pH 6.5) Day 4 - added humidifier to get humidity to 60-70% Day 7 - watering, ~100ml with 0.4ml/l BioBizz Rooj Juice (~pH 6.5)

lonergrower Hello everyone! The second week is over, this time it was a bit challenging because the plants were moving to a new location at the end of the week.. the plants got a bit stressed during the transport, but hopefully everything will be fine :) At the end of the week I transplanted them from 0.7L pots into 4L fabric pots and next week I will finally start feeding nutrients. [days 8-14] Day 8-10 - growing, second pair of leaves forming! :) Day 11 - watering, ~150ml with 0.4ml/l BioBizz Rooj Juice (~pH 6.5) Day 12 - moving tents and plants to a new location - the plants were about 9:00-16:00 out of the light, only in the sun Day 13 - abnormal night temperature only 12C, next days it was fine Day 14 - transplant from 0.7L pots into 4L pots, 2 hours before lights off, Mykoriza Premium from Organics Nutrients used, watered with clean water (~pH 6.5)

lonergrower Another week is over. I'm learning something new almost every day, everything is going according to plan so far. This week I finally switched to a full vegetative feeding from BioBizz - Fish Mix, Bio-Heaven and Acti Vera. And on day 19 I did the topping. I don't see any signs of a deficit or anything wrong. [days 15-21] Day 15 - watering each 0.66L, fish mix 2ml/l, bio-heaven 2ml/l, acti vera 2ml/l Day 18 - watering each 1L, fish mix 2ml/l, bio-heaven 2ml/l, acti vera 2ml/l Day 19 - topping

lonergrower [days 22-28] The girl continue to grow nicely, this week has been a real explosion! During the 24th day I moved both of the roommates (2x Candy Cream GF) to a bigger tent, so Apple Fritter now has the whole place to herself :) Day 22 - watering 1L, fish mix 2ml/l, bio-heaven 2ml/l, acti vera 2ml/l Day 24 - moving to final tent 70x70x140 cm Day 24 - watering 1L, fish mix 2ml/l, bio-heaven 2ml/l, acti vera 2ml/l Day 27 - watering 1L, fish mix 2ml/l, bio-heaven 2ml/l, acti vera 2ml/l

lonergrower [days 29-35] Another week, this time everything has stopped being so nice and the first problems start to appear. Because of the move I had to change the water source, which turns out to be quite problematic. At first I thought it was a magnesium or calcium deficiency... Day 30 - watering 1L, fish mix 2ml/l, bio-heaven 2ml/l, acti vera 2ml/l Day 31 - watering 1L, magnesium tablet Day 35 - transplanting to 15L pot, watering each 1L, fish mix 2ml/l, bio-heaven 2ml/l, acti vera 2ml/l

lonergrower [days 36-42] This week was probably the most challenging. Nutrient issues have been in full swing. At first I thought it was a calmag deficiency, but in the end I found out that it was quite the opposite. Unfortunately the local water was not soft, but instead too hard and too much calcium started to block the supply of nitrogen and other nutrients. Eventually I solved it by starting to use rainwater and managed to stabilize everything later. Day 37 - introduction of scrog net, watering with 2L, fish mix 1ml/l, bio heaven 2ml/l, acti vera 2ml/l, 0.2g/l microbes Day 38 - LST Day 40 - watering with 2L, calmag 0.33ml/l, fish mix 2ml/l, bio heaven 2ml/l, acti vera 2ml/l, 0.35g/l microbes

lonergrower [days 43-49] Nutrient problems are hopefully solved and we are growing! At the end of the week I defoliated and removed a lot of leaves and switched to flowering! Lets gooo Day 43 - watering 2L, 0.3ml/l calmag, 2ml/l fish mix, 2ml/l bio heaven, 2ml/l acti vera, 0.4g/l microbes Day 45 - watering 2L, 0.5ml/l calmag, 2ml/l fish mix, 2ml/l bio heaven, 2ml/l acti vera, 0.4g/l microbes Day 47 - watering 2.5L, 0.3ml/l calmag, 2ml/l fish mix, 2ml/l bio heaven, 2ml/l acti vera, 0.4g/l microbes Day 48 - defoliation Day 49 - switch to flowering :)
