BioGrowBayer Week 1 – Germination
This week it finally started!
I got the seeds to germinate, and yesterday they popped out of the soil – healthy and strong. I'm using BioBizz Light Mix as the medium, perfect for the first few days since it's not too heavily fertilized and the seedlings can thrive well.
Right now, they're under a Lumatek Atis 300 Pro, at a distance of about 40 cm.
I keep the humidity at 65%, temperature during the day is 26°C. No nutrients given yet, they’re just getting plain, stagnant water with a pH of 6.2.
The babies look healthy, the first seed leaves are nice and green – I'm curious to see how they develop in the next week!

BioGrowBayer This week my plants turned one week old. All the seedlings look healthy and are developing well.
I repotted them for the first time into 1-liter pots filled with BioBizz Light Mix to give them a loose and low-nutrient start.
The growth looks promising – the first real leaves are coming in, and the plants are adapting well to the new substrate.
So far, there has only been light watering with adjusted water, no additional fertilization.

BioGrowBayer I successfully transplanted the plants into larger pots. All the ladies are now in 6-liter pots with BioBizz All-Mix. The move went smoothly, the roots looked healthy and strong – a good sign for a solid foundation.
Since the repotting, the plants have shown good growth. The All-Mix seems to have taken well, with early signs of nutrient uptake visible: rich green, upright leaves, and an overall vibrant impression. Watering is still moderate for now, as the All-Mix is well-fertilized.
I'm closely monitoring the development, keeping temperature and humidity stable, and I'm looking forward to the next growth phase.

BioGrowBayer This week went mostly according to plan and without major incidents. Unfortunately, I discovered a few thrips, which prompted me to take immediate action. I treated the affected plants with neem oil to prevent a larger infestation.
The plants continue to show healthy growth, respond well to care, and are developing as expected.
Measures of the week:
Visual inspection for pests (thrips discovered)
Treatment with neem oil
Regular care and watering as usual
Outlook:
I will continue to closely monitor the plants in the coming days, especially regarding the effects of the neem oil treatment. If necessary, a follow-up treatment will be done. Otherwise, everything is still on track.

BioGrowBayer This week went by without any further issues. Everything is developing as planned. The thrips are no longer visible after the neem oil treatment – seems to have worked well.
For safety, I also released some predatory mites to keep any potential stragglers under control. Additionally, a few leaves were removed to improve air circulation and minimize possible hiding spots for pests.
The plants look healthy and are growing vigorously.

BioGrowBayer This week, the plants were successfully repotted into 18-liter pots with BioBizz All-Mix. The root growth seems to be adapting well to the new medium.
The thrips population shows signs of decline – no acute infestation visible anymore. I will continue to monitor the development and adjust countermeasures if necessary.
On the upper sun leaves, there were slight symptoms of calcium deficiency (pale spots, slight necrosis). The CalMag supply was then adjusted: BioBizz CalMag increased from 0.3 ml to 1 ml per liter of osmosis water.
Aside from that, everything is going as planned – no major problems or abnormalities. The plants continue to show vigorous growth.

BioGrowBayer After repotting, there was a nice growth spurt right away – really great to see! The plants handled the transition super well and are now growing nicely. Everything is going according to plan so far, without any significant complications.
The symptoms of calcium deficiency have completely disappeared – the new leaves look healthy and strong. Clearly, the adjusted feeding is having an effect.
It seems that the thrips have also been successfully dealt with. I haven't spotted any new traces so far – hopefully, it stays that way.
Today, I also did a bit of defoliation to bring more light and air into the plant's interior and further minimize the risk of mold.

BioGrowBayer No complications, all plants look healthy and are developing well.
The light cycle was gradually reduced over 6 days, with one hour less light each day.
Today is the first day of the 12/12 light-dark cycle, marking the official start of the flowering phase.
First signs of flowering are visible, internode spacing is increasing, and growth is shifting upwards.
No signs of deficiencies or stress.
In the coming days, the stretching will be closely monitored.
Starting next week, monitoring of the pre-flowers will begin.

BioGrowBayer Pre-flowers. Overall, they look healthy, with vibrant green leaves and no signs of deficiency or stress.
The lighting is now on a 12/12 cycle. The distance to the lamp is regularly checked and adjusted to avoid burns. Daytime temperatures are around 26 - 28 degrees, and at night, they drop to 18–20 degrees. Humidity is stabilizing around 45 to 50 percent.
The plants are watered every two to three days as needed. This week, the first application of bloom fertilizer with reduced nitrogen content and more phosphorus and potassium was given. EC and pH levels are in the optimal range. A pest check came back negative. Everything is running smoothly.

BioGrowBayer In the second week of flowering, everything is running smoothly. The plants continue to show healthy growth and are responding very well to the conditions. We have slowly started to switch the nutrient supply to bloom fertilizer to optimally support development. At the same time, the light intensity has been gradually increased from 50% to 75% to give the plants more energy for flowering.
Additionally, a light defoliation was carried out to improve air circulation and direct the plant's focus on bud formation. All in all, the second week of the flowering phase is looking very promising. The stretch is hardly noticeable.

BioGrowBayer The stretch is officially over – the girls have reached their final size.
All the plants are looking healthy and stable. The leaves show a rich green, with no signs of deficiency or stress. The flowering is progressing well – the first signs of frost are already visible.
Today was also the last time for defoliation and lollipopping.
Now the plants can fully concentrate their energy on the buds.
There are no new complications, everything is still going according to plan.
I’m sticking to my current schedule and continuing to observe closely – from now on, the focus is fully on flower development.

BioGrowBayer Flowering week 6 is going smoothly. The plants are healthy, buds are getting thicker, trichomes are developing well. No deficiencies, everything is in the green zone. Light defoliation for better air circulation, watering as per the schedule. I'm very satisfied – keep it up!
BioGrowBayer This week went absolutely smoothly. The plants are now fully matured, buds nice and compact and resinous. Trichomes are mostly milky with some amber tips – harvest time is just around the corner. The smell is intense, the aroma is really coming into its own now.
