Biscotti - Week by Week

Growtendo64 From May 4 onward, Miss Cotti began her first week of vegetative life. She responded well to the light and environment, developing her first set of true leaves without any issues. The light cycle was 18/6, and the PPFD remained gentle to avoid early stress. I kept the soil slightly moist with careful watering, using about 350 ml total spread across the week. No nutrients were used yet, and she showed no signs of deficiency or overwatering. By the end of the first week, she stood firmly with broad, healthy leaves and was beginning to work on her second node.

Growtendo64 Miss Cotti made great progress during her second week. Her first two nodes became fully defined, and the third node began to push through. I could already see fine white roots coming out of the bottom of her small pot, so I decided to move her into a bigger container with a 19 cm diameter to give her more room. After transplanting, I gave her 350 ml of water enriched with a gentle nutrient mix: BioGrow, RootJuice, BioHeaven, and CalMag, all adjusted for her young age. I didn’t check pH or temperature this time, but the water was properly mixed and slightly warm to the touch. She absorbed it well, with about 100 ml runoff. The light intensity remained at a PPFD of 200, and the environment stayed steady at around 22°C and 65% humidity. She showed no signs of shock and continued growing strong, with symmetrical leaf development and firm posture.

Growtendo64 Miss Cotti also entered a new phase of growth this week. On May 27, I transplanted her into her final 11.3-liter fabric pot filled with BioBizz Light Mix. Her roots were already poking out of the bottom of the previous container, signaling she was ready for more space. I gave her 500 ml of plain water around the outer edge to lightly settle her in and decided to give her a few days of rest before starting any training. Just like Cherry, Miss Cotti moved into the 70x70 cm tent under the SF-G1500, which provided better light coverage and more consistent environmental conditions. The light was adjusted to give around 350 PPFD at plant height, and the tent temperature stayed around 22–24°C with 60% humidity. She remained compact but vigorous and began pushing new growth quickly after the transplant. The leaves remained upright and full, and the root system is clearly establishing itself well in the new container. She’s responding very well and preparing for structural development in the coming days.

Growtendo64 Miss Cotti continued to thrive this week and responded well to the extra space in her 11.3-liter pot. By the middle of the week, her new leaves were broad and lush, and the lower shoots had started catching up. On May 30, I topped her above the 4th node, just like Cherry, and planned to give her 7–8 days to recover before starting low stress training. After topping, I gave her 1.5 liters of water with a full BioBizz feeding tailored for Week 4, including Grow, Heaven, Acti·Vera, and CalMag. I slightly increased the Heaven dose to help her deal with the stress of being cut. The pH was adjusted to 6.4, and the water temperature was around 23°C. She didn’t flinch. Her posture remained strong, and the top shoots reacted within a day. By the weekend, she was already pushing new side branches and showing an even growth pattern. The plan is to give her a few more calm days before gently training her into a flat structure to maximize light distribution.
