HoneyBlunt42 Day Action Result 4-7 Adaptation after transplanting Slow growth, stressed condition 8 Critical day 1 plant died, 2 survived after sun stress 8 Emergency transplant Transferred to 5L containers and moved to grow box 9-10 Start of recovery Gradual stabilization of condition 📝 DETAILED COMMENTS 🔥 Day 8 — Critical Moment A serious mistake occurred in care: I accidentally left the plants in bright sunlight while cleaning the box. The result was catastrophic — 1 out of 3 plants died, the others experienced severe light stress. Consequences of sun stress: Growth slowdown in all plants One seedling couldn't recover 🚑 Emergency rescue measures I immediately decided to radically change the growing conditions: Transplanting to larger containers: Volume: transferring from 0.2L to 5L Substrate: fresh soil mix with improved drainage Goal: to give the root system ample space from the start, without further transplants Moving to controlled conditions: From balcony conditions → to grow box Placement in a shaded corner of the box Using a humidifier (110 ml/h) to stabilize the microclimate 📈 Current status of surviving plants Plant #1 (stronger): Height: 2-3 cm after recovery Condition: actively rising, signs of recovery Forecast: favorable Plant #2 (weaker): Height: 1 cm, slow recovery Condition: has lifted, but is developing cautiously Forecast: requires monitoring 🌡️ NEW GROWING CONDITIONS Light schedule: 18/6 (18 hours light, 6 hours dark) Temperature regime: Day: +28°C Night: +22°C Humidity: 60% Container size: 5L Watering: 0.05L per day (minimum from a spray bottle to avoid overwatering weakened plants) Fertilizers: Early 🔍 ERROR ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS ❌ What went wrong: Inattention while moving plants Underestimating the harm of direct sunlight for young seedlings Lack of constant monitoring of conditions ✅ Measures taken: Transition to fully controlled conditions in the grow box Placement in a shaded area for gentle adaptation Increasing pot size for better root system development Establishing constant humidity monitoring :darts: Strategy for the next week: Gradual increase in light intensity Monitoring recovery every 12 hours Preparing to start light feeding with positive dynamics 📊 INTERIM RESULTS ❌ Survival rate: 66% (2 out of 3 plants) ⚠️ Condition: Stressed, but with signs of recovery 🔄 Development: Temporarily slowed, normalization expected 📈 Forecast: Cautiously optimistic with adherence to the new regime The week showed the importance of constant attention to young plants. Despite the losses, the remaining seedlings demonstrate viability. The transition to controlled conditions should promote their recovery and further healthy development. At this stage, there is no smell, which is normal for the early vegetative stage. The light schedule is set to 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness, which is optimal for initial development.

HoneyBlunt42 The second week turned out to be a real emotional rollercoaster. One of the seedlings is developing just wonderfully — it has already reached a height of 4-5 cm and delights the eye with its first set of true leaves. The little one feels right at home in the box, especially with the humidifier constantly running. Unfortunately, there were some losses. Show content The second seedling died due to a critical mistake at the very beginning — I left them on the windowsill and just forgot about them. This is especially painful considering that the report is being prepared for a competition. Meanwhile, everything is going great in the neighboring projects, but here I have to work with just one surviving fighter. Currently, the conditions are stabilized: the temperature is kept within optimal ranges (28°C during the day, 22°C at night), and humidity is maintained at 65%. There’s no smell yet, which is normal for this stage of development. Watering is minimal — just 100 ml per day, to avoid overwatering the still weak root system.

HoneyBlunt42 The plant is showing confident growth and healthy development. In a week, the 5th row of leaves has formed, indicating stable vegetative growth. The leaf color is a rich green, with no signs of nutrient deficiency. Key observations: A slight slowdown in growth due to heat stress during the daytime Critical temperature of +35°C is reached at the end of the light period due to solar heating (the balcony in the morning is like a greenhouse +50) The ventilation system effectively handles cooling in the evening and nighttime The humidification system is working steadily, maintaining optimal humidity Current issues: Heat stress during peak daytime hours requires attention It is necessary to monitor the impact of high temperatures on plant development

HoneyBlunt42 The plant is slowing down a bit from the heat, but overall it's doing well. While I was hiking in the mountains, it dried out a little.

HoneyBlunt42 Flowering and Stress Management The plant is actively flowering, forming dense buds up to 10 mm in diameter. When attempting to bend the central cola with a rubber band, an accidental break occurred. However, thanks to a quick reaction (the rubber bands were immediately removed), the plant successfully recovered – the break node strengthened, and the stress was minimal. Autowatering and Adaptation After the incident, I continued using the autowatering system (Xplants pump every 8 hours for 15 seconds) with the addition of Simplex Terra Bloom. The light schedule of 12/12 under the LED 240W BigCock Design Rooster was not disrupted, which helped avoid additional stress. General Observations The smell is moderate but stable. The temperature and humidity are under control. The plant demonstrates high resilience – despite the mechanical damage, it continues to develop without visible deviations.

HoneyBlunt42 Flowering stage: The plant has successfully entered the active flowering phase and is starting to form beautiful buds with a diameter of 10-15 mm. Overall appearance - green and healthy, which is very pleasing. Pest prevention: There was a mite infestation in this box, so I conduct thorough regular inspections of the plant. So far, I haven't found any signs of infestation on this plant. Watering regime: The current watering is 0.2-0.3 liters of solution per day for a 5-liter pot. I'm considering increasing the watering volume, given the active growth stage of the plant. Overall impression: The plant is proving to be pleasant and trouble-free to care for. It's developing steadily, without visible stress or deviations. Harvest forecast: about 35-40 days until harvest PLANS FOR NEXT WEEK Thorough monitoring for mites Increase watering volume to 0.4-0.5 liters per day Observe the development of buds and the beginning of fruit formation Continue feeding with Terra Bloom to support flowering Try out Simplex Mass and SuperVit stimulators

HoneyBlunt42 🚨 Critical period - 20 days of absence There was a 20-day gap in the report due to a forced trip and preparation for it. I had never left the plants unattended for more than 10 days, so this was a real stress test for the crop. 💧 Preparation for departure Before leaving, I thoroughly watered the plant with 2.5 liters of nutrient solution. The plan was as follows: The first 5 days the plant actively consumed moisture from the container. The next 5-7 days it underwent natural drying before harvest. 🏆 Experiment results Strawberry Pie Auto (FastBuds) showed incredible resilience - without auto-watering: ✅ Survived unattended for 20 days ✅ Significantly gained mass during my absence ✅ Maintained a healthy appearance and structure Other plants (seed bank IZI 3 pcs) did not make it, even though they were on auto-watering: ❌ All 3 plants died and dried out ❌ Even auto-watering didn't help them survive My choice for the future is clear.

HoneyBlunt42 Harvest results and plans The plant was weighed in its wet state (PHOTO 3). A division factor of 5 is used to calculate the dry weight. Processing process: Drying: 10-12 days in a box without lighting Constant ventilation 24/7 Clover M300 carbon filter to eliminate odor Curing: 15-30 days in glass jars Full flavor profile development is expected This experience highlighted the exceptional resilience of FastBuds genetics and the importance of choosing the right strain for extreme conditions. In the next grow, I will correct my mistakes and bring all 3 plants to harvest. First of all, I ordered stimulants for germination and the vegetative stage. Also, charged Simplex soil. Thanks everyone for your attention!
