my first indoor greenhouse

THEFROZEN710 These photos represent the first week of my first indoor cycle. I'd like to emphasize that if the GMOs don't appear at the end of the cycle, it's because they're seeds from a flower I purchased without provenance. The other seeds are all from trusted seed banks. The soil is 100% organic. For further information, Terro Super Soil offers a similar recipe, with the addition of various flours and other ingredients to encourage microbial and fungal activity. In the first week, mycelia began to form on the soil surface, indicating good fungal activity. Along with the mineral addition of lime and nit, Tricoderma Hazarium, a beneficial fungus for rooting and root health, was also added. Just 1 ml per week is sufficient for now.

THEFROZEN710 In this second week my humidifier burned out, I spent 2 days with humidity between 40 and 55%, after resolving this issue the plants showed that they were happy with the new humidifier, the only watering done at the beginning of the week (Monday) was prepared with HaifaCalPrime, Nit+CA soluble in water, being a ppm of 200, pH 6.3, and Tricoderma Hazarium, less than 100ml per plant, remembering that the soil is already complete, the focus is to keep the microbiota active with small adjustments and observing the reaction day after day.

THEFROZEN710 This week, the soil didn't appear to need watering on watering day, so I only watered on Thursday. A solution of just under 400 ppm, pH 6.3, and 2 ml of Tricoderma Hazarium in a 1 L solution, each plant receiving an average of 100 ml. Overall, they showed good results after the humidity returned to ideal levels. This will probably be the last week in the 1 L pots, as the GMO roots are already demanding space. However, I've held off on watering because my focus is on the DNA and Pure Instinto genetics. By the way, Pure Glitter is showing promise. I can smell a faint aroma emanating from the plant at this stage, a characteristic scent of sweet fruit. It's still too early to speculate, but there are distinct sweet notes. The others are odorless and apparently quite healthy! I found the Bakers' leaf development curious. If you notice the first leaves are stuck together, one tip at a time. Could this be a defect? ​​A genetically inherited leaf mutation? Or just an accident? Curious, isn't it? If you can leave feedback in the comments, I'll be watching for constructive criticism and advice!

THEFROZEN710 This week, I flipped the 1L pots to the 7L pots that are planned as the final pots. I noticed that the 1L pots for the main genetics didn't have air circulation underneath, and perhaps there was a buildup of water, preventing the roots from reaching the bottom of the pot laterally. They only descended centrally. It was clear that the pot flip took a while, which caused a slight blockage in the young plants, but nothing too serious. It was clear that they liked the new space; they were more active the next day. Maybe next time I'll flip the pot much earlier, and maybe even replace the 1L pot. During this week they received only 1 watering of 400ppm of NitCal, pH 6.3, + Tricoderma Hazarium (5ML), a high dosage of this beneficial fungicide to activate them in the new pot, generally a high dose is not necessary, but it would not harm the roots either, it would just be a waste.

THEFROZEN710 I don't have many records this week because I lost my cell phone, which I used to keep records. Unfortunately, I lost some of it. But the most important thing I managed to recover is here. I believe that during the last watering, because I overdid it with the N, feeling that the soil's N release was slow, as shown in the fan leaves. The plants had a slight Mg deficiency. Since I used the same solution for all the plants, most of them showed this deficiency, but it was corrected soon after with Salamargo, or known in other countries as Epsom salt. I ended up finding a photo of my soil composition and decided to make it available so everyone can get an idea of ​​the nutrient content the soil can provide, combined with light mineral inputs to maximize genetics. For this week post transplant, I felt that the plants would accept working at 420ppfd

THEFROZEN710 It's almost hard to tell I'm in winter; my tent easily hits 26 degrees Celsius. But this week marked my first topping pruning. First of all, I'd like to say that I'm against interfering with a plant's natural growth; I like to respect it! But here I had an unusual situation: since I only have one Pure Glitter pheno, I decided to top it to increase my chances of getting clones of this very fragrant pheno. Every time I touch this plant, it leaves a unique scent on my hands. I'm certainly anxious and very excited for this plant's flowering. I confess that for my first topping, I don't know if I did it correctly, but I can say that this cut hurt as much as my last 10 surgeries. These photos represent the beginning of the sixth week. Not a single pot appeared to need watering. We continue preparing for the final moments of the season. I was considering removing Bakers, which had problems with the cotyledons, to keep it as a mother plant, but since I switched to a 7L pot, I will take clones from the best pheno and keep at least 1 or 2 Bakers mothers, and 2 or 3 from Pure Glitter, it is very likely that I will do a future SOG with these 2 genetics.

THEFROZEN710 A tough week for some of these girls, unfortunately. I believe it was a bit of an excess of Mg. I felt my soil was having trouble releasing Mg, and I ended up applying a somewhat aggressive treatment to some plants that were showing chlorosis. Perhaps the soil ended up releasing Mg after my mineral application, which burned some of the tips of some leaves. Other plants didn't feel it as much, but I'm happy to note that this slight excess didn't affect them. Two days ago, I watered them with pure water and adjusted the pH to 6.4 only. The next two waterings will be with pure water only. I noticed they started drinking more water than usual. I'm thinking of placing the Bakers, who had cotyledon problems, as a mother in a different tent. I'd like your opinion. What do you think? I performed a light defoliation of only the shade leaves, a maximum of 4 fan leaves each. I believe that after a good recovery and removal of some clones, we'll prepare for flowering and perform a more intense defoliation. The smell of each of these girls is already making me anxious, and at the same time worrying because I think they'll smell up the whole block. Observing the scents, Pure Glitter is the one that has me most anxious so far, a sweet and icy scent at the same time. The Bakers have a sweeter scent, something that reminds me of wine perhaps, or grapes? The GMOs already have a more sour citrus scent. I remember their flowers as if it were yesterday when I pick them up.

THEFROZEN710 Everything returned to normal with these girls. They recovered from a possible Mg overdose. They were all drinking pure water with a pH of 6.5, gradually increasing it to better absorb certain nutrients in their flora. There was no plan to add any mineral salts. I noticed an excellent response from them with the application of a biostimulant rich in enzymes, amino acids, and some algae and fish flours. It's important to understand that it has no nutritional effect; it merely causes mild, controlled stress and helps the plant metabolize faster and more efficiently. I took the opportunity to take out some clones of the most promising phenos and several Pure Glitter clones. I have the impression that I may have pulled a rare gem compared to other colleagues who received these same genetics and had no results. Many even killed their plants before flowering to save space. So, I've never seen a harvest from this genetics, and it is showing signs of anthocyanins in the veg. I took a light measurement of the runoff in the pots to understand how they're feeding. A few weeks ago, the overflow showed nutrient accumulation, at 1200 ppm. Currently, it's at 400 ppm. Apparently, they're eating a little faster than the soil is releasing it. Some supplementation in the flora might be possible. I noticed that in Bakers, some nodes have three flowering points, but this is only in the healthiest ones. Is this a mutation or a genetic trait that expresses itself under ideal conditions? These genetics handle LST well, but I got the impression that they respond better without this training. Light management was carried out during the week: two waterings with pure water without any additives, some clones were removed, some strategic lists were made to fill gaps in the grow area, and a very light foliar spray was applied to the plants with a diluted biostimulant containing Bacillus. One-fifth of the manufacturer's recommended foliar application dose was used to prevent pests and improve metabolism for flowering. Thus, we conclude the last week of veg. I believe I'll flip them in the next two days while I finish the greenhouse for the clones.

THEFROZEN710 Everything was going well during the first week of flowering. I waited until I completed 7 days of flowering to record them. They were flipped on September 20th. The first two days of flowering were difficult because the end of winter reached 35 degrees Celsius inside the tent. Some Bakers showed slight heat stress, the GMOs much less so, and Pure Glitter gave me the impression that she liked high temperatures. I didn't add any additional nutrition other than the flora biostimulant, Tricoderma, and I did a light superficial foliar spray with Bacillus. I'm thinking of maybe adding 0.2g/L of MKP and pure water after four waterings, with an average pH of 6.8 for all solutions. I decided to remove two plants from the tent and flower them outdoors. The goal is to explore their genetics and their development in the sun, even avoiding potential overgrowth. What led me to this decision is that at the beginning of this journey, I had a GMO #4 that only veered for three weeks and had a severe sulfur deficiency. It ended up stalling and I almost killed it. I decided to leave it in the sun with just water, and it simply responded very well. Without adding any type of nutrient, it corrected the deficiency and began flowering. The plant showed many trichomes early and shades of purple in the third week of flowering, which may indicate high anthocyanins. I'm very excited for the flowering of these outdoor and indoor plants. The smell of these girls is already infesting the entire house and even spreading outside. The GMOs I thought were regular, I'm now thinking they might be feminized, as all the seeds I planted have sprouted and are all female. The flower's owner said it's a Mamikos genetic. It's hard to say, but I'm very happy with the smell and development of these plants! I'm very happy with how everything is going, very excited to see the results. See you next week!

THEFROZEN710 Everything is going well. The photos represent day 14 of flowering. Nutrition is based solely on pure water, Trichoderma hazianum + Bacillus thuringiensis. BTi was added because I found some gnats flying over the soil of BkD#1 and PureG#1. My yellow trap definitely didn't capture a single adult, so I ended up spraying neem over the clay soil. A few days later, I didn't see any more after watering. I continue to monitor and take preventative measures more closely. I added KushyCat Flora biostimulants this week, and sprinkled a little Bokashi powder and 1/3 of the recommended dose of liquid Bokashi on top of the soil to ensure they're still releasing nutrients at this crucial stage. In future waterings, I might add a very diluted MKP supplement. Perhaps I'll increase the Trichoderma dose to help the roots metabolize all that P and K, and some other micromolecules that this glorious fungus can help us with. Watering is being done at 10% of the pot's volume to avoid runoff. Note that in organic soil, a runoff is only to understand how nutrient release is going and whether the plant is actually consuming everything that's produced there. We could also call it leaching, which we don't want very often in this type of soil. PPFD: 1100 pH: 6.8 rH: 55%

THEFROZEN710 This week, the leaves of the Pure and GMO plants started turning purple. Baker's only showed purple coloration on the edges. The girls showed slight defoliation, and I've reduced the frequency of watering. I'm having a problem with gnat fungi. I believe my powerful BTi bacteria have no effect on them. I might have to resort to hydrogen peroxide, but my soil is alive and organic. I applied neem oil to the pots, tents, and the surface of the soil to try to repel the adults. I thought I'd gotten rid of them last week, but I was wrong. I also noticed very high humidity at night. I'll have to increase the exhaustion, but their scent is excellent and strong. I'm looking forward to seeing every detail in the coming weeks! See you soon!

THEFROZEN710 Everything was going well this week, except for two days of electrical issues, leaving the power out. Some plants showed slight signs of stress in their pistils, but apparently nothing serious. Everything returned to normal in the following days, and not a single plant was stunted. I didn't see a single gnat again. The BTi proved very effective against their initial stage, and not a single larva developed into a fly.
