SpiritHerb the plant seems to have reacted well even though I used a commercial soil "Vigorplant Tappeti Erbosi" which contains humus, silica sand, and is very draining, I added perlite and expanded clay (at the bottom of the pot)

The plant receives a maximum of 5.5 hours per day, I am experimenting with two other types of seeds, to understand which is the most resistant and productive even with only so few hours of direct light per day, if you want follow me in this experiment ❤️🌱
Put those autos down,haha.Seriously,photoperiods are so much better.For a start they use less power during flowering,they're stronger and you have more control.Almost all autos flower at wk5 which takes the control away.A photo will only flower when you give it the 12hr dark period.If nyou have an issue in wk5 then tuff titty its flowering ready or not but you can just veg the photo for a week or two more until youre ready.They arent as sensitive,prefer more nutrition and they only want 12hrs of light during flowering saving at least 50% on your lighting bill.
