RQS Watermelon Auto m. Sonnenerde

Tschili It's going well, - the pot with the yellow X is not fertilized. - the one without, is. I think the one without fertilizer is doing a bit better, but maybe it needs more light at this stage or it's just the lovely genetics, or something like that. They're still young and can still develop :-) PPFD about 350 Water amount for a week 0.9ml

Tschili Tschili - The pot with the yellow X is not fertilized. The plant is currently a bit smaller, but it's doing well. - The one without, with. Both watered with a pH value of 6.3 and Calmag PPFD 600 Water amount 1.5 L/week I have the first yellow, slightly brown spots on the lower leaves. It's not a nutrient problem, but due to the increased temperature (27 degrees). The Watermelon Auto prefers it a bit cooler and went down to 24 degrees after 2 days. It has recovered. Started light LST. A bit about the substrate. Why is only one plant fertilized? The hemp soil from Sonnenerde is based on Terra Preta and apparently doesn't need to be fertilized again. The substrate is very dense and compact, it's rather heavy. Unusual for me, and I wonder if the roots can penetrate well?😳 Let's see. Fungus gnats are not an issue; the soil is already infused with nematodes by Sonnenerde. So far, everything is great, look forward to it.😊

Tschili - The pot with the yellow X is only fertilized with 1ml of Calmag. - The one without, with. Both are doing well, despite some light brown spots on the lower leaves. The one with fertilizer feels great and is developing beautifully. I'm still holding back with the fertilizer on the unfertilized little one. I hope I can stick to it, even though I already feel sorry for her. :-) The soil is very good, but I'm still not quite sure how to handle the density and firmness. The substrate has a very high water retention quality and needs to be watered only a little. Right now, I'm at 2 times a week. Both watered with a pH value of 6.3 and Calmag PPFD 700 Water amount 1.5 L/week Before it showed the first white threads, it was defoliated a bit. It's starting to bloom.

Tschili - The pot with the yellow X was fertilized with some Calmag and Bloom in the 4th week. The substrate was too moist, so I didn't water for 7 days. The plant then stretched up a bit. :-) Reassuring! The plant has large, broad, dark green leaves. - The pot without the X was fertilized as above and only watered with 350ml in 7 days. The plant has rather lighter, pointy, narrow leaves. The differences could not be the same seeds. Exciting! Conclusion about the substrate: The substrate is extremely good at water retention. Completely new to me, so I fulfilled the newbie stereotype. Watered too much. :-)

Tschili The pot without the yellow sticker was fertilized with some Calmag and Bloom at the beginning of week 5. Fertilized with the yellow sticker as mentioned above. What I can say already is that the hemp soil from Sonnenerde definitely needs less water. As mentioned before, water retention is very good, and fertilizer is hardly necessary, as the fertilized one looks a bit "burned.

Tschili I was surprised that the plants are finishing a week earlier than planned. Suggestions for improvement for myself: 1. Soil from Sonnenerde requires much less water than regular "soil." The hemp soil has damn good water retention. You should also be very sparing with the fertilizer. I find that the lady in the unfertilized pot has developed splendidly. A little Calmag and phosphorus is enough. But it’s not necessary. 2. Check the data on FG 2.0 more often. I noticed that the humidity control module was off. I only had 30% from week 3. I only realized it this week. :-( Shame on me :-) The module has since been exchanged without any major problems. Thanks to Plantalytix for the quick and uncomplicated exchange. SUPER SERVICE. Thank you. Conclusion: The hemp soil from Sonnenerde is very unusual for a beginner. As mentioned before, it has very good water retention. The nutrients in the soil are also sufficient to carry out a grow. You can definitely add a little Calmag and bloom booster. The substrate didn’t let a single fungus gnat loose. Once I’m more experienced, I will certainly grow again with the processed soil. The next grow will take place with a simple tomato soil from the hardware store. Let’s see, then we’ll know :-)
