KannibaleInZivil Welcome to my first grow! I got myself a 40x40 complete setup to try indoor growing after a few outdoor seasons. Light: SanLight Stixx 50, tent: DiamondBox 40x40x120, exhaust: Ventilution Silent Line axial fan, 197m3/h, 125mm, activated carbon filter: Can Lite Filter 150m3/h 125mm. Circulation: 5W GHP Garden High Pro clip fan. I'm growing in 4-liter fabric pots. The soil is BioBizz Light Mix. 20 liters of BioBizz boosted with 200g Oscorna soil activator and 200g Oscorna Animalin garden fertilizer for the veg phase. I found the two seeds from Garden of Green in last year's harvest. Without much hope, I pressed the two seeds - after a night in a glass of water - into the coco coir pots, and they actually germinated. Additionally, there are two Badazz OG Cheese from Seedsman, which were germinated about 2-3 days after the Garden of Green seeds by a close relative. They found the two OG Cheese too much, so I adopted the orphans with the risk that it might get tight in the 40x40. Germination took place in coco/peat pots. After germination, I directly placed the pots into the final pots. There were no problems with that. What I will do differently next time is to moisten the soil before putting it into the pots. I only watered close to the seedlings and only watered the entire soil in the pots once after a few days. The veg phase lasted exactly 4 weeks or 5 weeks including germination. Since I added everything at once until the first flowering week, the number of weeks and the pictures are not entirely accurate.

KannibaleInZivil Everything is going according to plan. The Stixx 50 is running at 20%. I only give it a sip of water every now and then. The two OG Cheese are developing a bit slower than the GSC and Phantom Cookies Domina.

KannibaleInZivil I've now decided to top the two vital plants from Garden of Green. My plan is to develop four main stems per plant. Since the two OG Cheese are growing a bit slowly, I'll give them some more time. I topped above the second node. I wouldn't do that again because the upper two stems are developing much better than the lower ones. Note for the future: top above the third node and cut the stems at the lowest node. This way, the four new main stems will develop more evenly. From here on, I'll water about every 6 days with 1 liter of stale tap water. Before I water, I'll now add about 1 gram of Vegan CalMag Boost from Green Power per pot as a preventive measure. This is the only CalMag product that isn't in liquid form, and it works great.

KannibaleInZivil The new shoots have developed well on GSC and PCD, so I can start training. I've tied down the two upper shoots with a soft wire so they align horizontally for now. It's also almost time to top the OG Cheese. The spots on the leaves come from an additional foliar feeding I did with Aminosol. Unfortunately, I sprayed the water too early. I fertilized about an hour before turning off the lights... but the damage is manageable. No reason to worry. Again, 1 liter of water per pot and 1 gram of CalMag Boost from Green Power beforehand.

KannibaleInZivil One day before switching to 12/12, it looks like this in the tent. Just to put it in context, germination was around the end of May and the veg phase lasted pretty much the entire month of June. Since I'm adding the veg phase all at once now, the photos aren't accurately aligned with the weeks in the Growdiary.. I'll keep you updated during the flowering.

KannibaleInZivil The first week of flowering is over and it's starting to explode. The lamp is running at 80% since the beginning of flowering. At the start of flowering, I mixed about 10g of Neudorff Azet tomato fertilizer into some of the mixed soil per pot, applied it on top of the soil, and watered it. The Oscorna fertilization for the veg stage worked great and there were no deficiency symptoms. The only issue was the slight leaf burn, which wasn't perfect. So I can definitely recommend Oscorna as a straightforward and affordable solid fertilizer that you won't have problems with when mixing a nutrient solution.
