Been out the game for a few years, haven't had the space really, but caught wind of this vgrow setup and decided I could fit that in my office, so here we are.
Picked the strain I did for three reasons:
-Had great results running Ethos in the past
-Looks like a good yielder with some nice effects and bag appeal
-Always Sunny reference
Turns out the peat I used kinda sucked and I also packed it a bit too hard, oops. She's pretty overwatered. I never sweat seedling stage too hard though--didn't kill her so we're all good.
VGrow is pretty easy to keep dialed. Started her light at 60%, but by Day 7 I had her at 70%. Using the tried and true method of throwing wet cloths on the ground to keep things humid.
Got the wicked combo of droopy leaves and a little curling at the end. I didn't have to water her at all for a week and her substrate was still wet, so I had to make a move to a bigger pot. Didn't even bother bringing most of the soil over, just took her and about a golfball of that starter peat into coco and perlite, gave her some mycos for the roots, and watered her in.
The tips of her leaves ended up charring a little bit but she's bounced back at this point. Ramping her up into this light intensity (80%) has kept her nodes nice and tight, which is what I like to see in a micro-grow. Seems like she's growing pretty quickly, but we'll have to see what weeks 3 and 4 do before I really have an opinion on this floraflex and coco arrangement.
Cruise control until it's time to put her in her fabric pot and start using the auto-feeding base.
Probably sitting tight this week and waiting for some more nodes to show up. Idk it's week three. Doubt she'll be ready to top til next week.
Midweek note, might start skimping on the foliar feeds. I don't think she loves the extra nitrogen. We'll see how she does with the bloom FF.
Week 4 day 1, she was looking a lil droopy and crowded, and the medium was starting to pull away from the pot. Pulled her out and sure enough, she was a lil rootbound, which is what I was going for. Moved her into the stock Vivosun pot with some mycos and watered her in.
Really looking forward to getting her on autofeed and topping her, both this week for sure. If I had to guess I'll probably flip her around say 35-40 but we'll see!
