Gaia Grow No 3

MWHomegrow So let’s begin the vegetation phase in week three for this report. In a few days I should repot the Ladies. On the evening of day 18 they finally got transplanted to their 3.5l pots (3 Lemon Trees/ 1 Lemon Cherry Gelato). The 2 Painkillers XL got 2l pots because they will move to the small dry tent in about 1-2 weeks. Every Lady got 10g (3.5l)/6g (2l) GHF Bio Grow mixed into the soil and white shark mycorrhiza directly in the transplant hole and around the roots. Afterwards, I watered them with 700ml/400ml pH 6.2 0.8g/l Enhancer solution with 0.5ml/l calmag. And finally, they got Boom Boom Spray all over their leaves. And on the morning of day 19, they looked happy 😳 Since transplant day, I adjusted the light to 450-500 ppfd and the VPD from 0.8 to 0.9. I let them grow and rest for the rest of veg week 1, and in a few days it’s time to top the ladies ✂️ So I'm starting the vegetation phase in this grow report from the beginning of week 3 since germination, and the first repotting is coming up in a few days. After day 18, I was able to transplant in the evening. The 3 Lemon Trees and the Lemon Cherry Gelato moved from the 0.5l pots to the 3.5l pots. The Painkiller XL went into the 2l pots because they will move to the small tent in one to two weeks. Each pot got 10g (3.5l)/6g (2l) Bio Grow mixed into the substrate, as well as white shark mycorrhiza directly into the new hole. Afterwards, I watered them with 700/400ml at pH 6.2 with 0.8g/l enhancer solution and 0.5ml/l calmag. Then I sprayed them well with Boom Boom Spray. The next morning, the ladies looked pretty satisfied. Since transplanting, I increased the light to 450-500 ppfd and raised the VPD from 0.8 to 0.9. I gave the ladies the rest of the first veg week to recover, as topping is coming up in the next few days ✂️

MWHomegrow Day 22: I started the week with the topping of two ladies (only one of them is relevant for this report), because they were ready to be cut above the fifth node. I also took off some of the larger leaves, so that all the branches get enough light. 😊 The rest of the ladies should be ready this evening or tomorrow morning. And as I said, I was able to top all the other ladies, besides the Lemon Cherry Gelato, which has to wait till tomorrow. Afterwards they got some Boom Boom Spray for recovery. Day 23: This morning my AI controller decided to go to pause mode on its own and shut down the tent for about two hours until I woke up and made my morning control. After two hours of bad mood I topped the Lemon Cherry Gelato and treated her with Boom Boom spray. Day 24: This morning I had to water the ladies unexpectedly, because they drank more than I thought they would. So every lady got 400ml pH 6.0 water with 1ml/l CalMag. Day 25: Nothing special to report today 😼 Day 26: They’re drinking more than I expected, I have to water them again this evening and they will be repotted to their last 20l pots 😊 In the evening each lady got 0.5l of pH 6.3 water. Day 27: My wife’s Painkillers left the tent after repotting and now the Lemon Trees and the LCG have lots of space to grow big 😊 Day 28: Finally, I could repot the ladies to their 20l fabric pots. They got 65g GHF Biogrow and White Shark mycorrhiza to the soil and afterwards I watered them with 3l pH 6.3 water and adjusted the lights to 600ppfd. End of week 2 ✌️

MWHomegrow Vegetative Week 3: On Day 29, there was the first LST after repotting for the ladies, so they can soon fill the tent nicely as a group of four 😊 For this, I simply used ground hooks for the shoots and I like to use the red clips on the main stem. Days 30 and 31 had nothing special to do 😊 On Day 32, I watered for the first time after repotting with 2 liters of pH 6.2 water with 0.8g/l enhancer. I distributed the water for the first time with my new battery-powered watering lance, and I hope to be able to water more evenly this way 😊 On Day 33, I worked with LST again and bent the shoots further outward with the ground hooks, so I can have a relatively even canopy that fills the entire base area of the tent as soon as possible. Day 34 was another rest day. On Day 35, I watered again, this time with 2 liters per plant with a pH value of 6.2 and 1ml/l Calmag, and I also used the battery-powered lance for watering here. And so ends Week 3 of Veg.

MWHomegrow Vegetative Week 4 So finally time for an update😊 Day 36: today was just relaxed again 😎 Day 37: did some LST again and tied the ladies down a bit with the earth hooks to fill the canopy more, but soon they will be released for a bit more volume upwards. Day 38: today they got 2l of pH 6.1 water per plant, but I notice that I need to slowly increase the volume because they are really drinking a lot 😊 Day 39: nothing special to do today Day 40: bent some shoots down again for even light distribution for the ladies and removed a few too big leaves that were blocking too much light. After that, I watered with 2l of pH 6.3 water per plant. Day 41: more relaxation for the ladies 😊 Day 42: the ladies are sucking the pots dry so quickly that from now on I’ll water with 3l of pH 6.3 and 1ml/l Calmag. 1l of that goes into the self-watering bases and 2l from above with the watering lance. End of Week 4 of Vegetation

MWHomegrow Sry, Easter time, birthday, and all that have taken their toll on my time, but here’s the German part for the rest of the vegetation of our beautiful ladies 😊 Day 43: nothing special to do for the ladies today, just chilling under their sun 🌞 Day 44: today I gave them the flowering fertilizer from Green House Feeding (GHF Bloom Bio line) at 76g/pot as topdressing. For watering, I used 2l of water with pH 6.3 and 1g/l of Enhancer, and removed a few larger leaves, but not many. Just enough to give the smaller latecomers a chance to grow up. Day 45: since it got late yesterday, I watered again with 1l of pH 6.2 water and 1ml of Calmag, and the ladies are drinking like crazy 😊 Day 46: the bases aren’t working because the soil in the pots was completely dry, silly beginner mistake, but it’s also the first time I’m using them, so I soaked the pots in 2l from the bottom in a tray and then put them back on the bases 😊 Day 47: 1l of pH 6.2 water with 1ml/l of Calmag from the top to flush the fertilizer further into the substrate. Day 48: removed all earth hooks, you are free now, girls Day 49: increased light intensity by about 100 ppfd End of vegetation week 5

MWHomegrow Vegetation Week 6 Day 50: Today, the first shoots were removed from the bottom that couldn't reach the light barrier, and overall a bit more defoliation to let some nice light to the smaller shoots. Then, 2 liters of pH 6.1 water were added to the watering bases per plant. Day 51: Today, in preparation for a short vacation, 3 liters of water with pH 6.2 were added to the reservoir. 😌 Day 52: Vacation Day 53: Vacation Day 54: Returned from vacation, ladies have grown extremely (65cm). Watered all with 3 liters of pH 6.3 and 0.5ml/l Calmag and switched to flowering. 😌 End of Vegetation

MWHomegrow First Flowering Week: Day 55: I'm basically speaking from the future because I had very little time in the last three weeks... but it's going to get wild 😝 we are back from vacation and the plants were about 65cm tall, high time for the 12/12 switch! And of course, 4l of water for each plant with pH 6.2 and 1ml/l Calmag agent, plus in 2l there was 1g/l enhancer, which was then poured from above. From now on, it's time to leave the plants alone and set the lamp's lighting to 270w from above and 40w from below, to make up for the 6-hour deficit and possibly reduce the crazy stretch. Day 56: today 3l of water with pH 6.1 and 0.5ml/l Calmag agent (2 from below 1 from above) Day 57: today 2l of water with pH 6.2 from below Day 58: today just some peace 😊 Day 59: 4l of water with pH 6.2 and 0.5ml/l Calmag agent (3 from below 1 from above) Day 60: dead leaves peeled off and collected Day 61: 4l pH 6.1 from below per plant End of Flowering Week 1
