Variety Grow (8 +5 strains)

YouKnov_og : 10.09.2025 // planting - planted every seed, even the ones that didnt shoot a root yet 12.09 // Pre-Veg(?) - 7 plants sprouted, - 5/5 photo (Colombian Gold, Mexican Rush, Pink Rozay, Purple Punch, (+)Gelato#45) - 2/5 auto (MilkyWay F1, (+)Apple Fritter - Tangerine Dream. Strawberyy Cola and PowerPlant still need time and hopefully will sprout soon --------------------------------- /// This grow features 5 big potted plants (8L) and 5x 0.2L cups as well as a Purple Haze bag seed cup (6th cup plant next to Gelato) /// I wanted to max out the amount of strains i can get in one run. This is also the first time I will be using these AC Infinity bootom feeding trays, so lets see how that goes; I will be watering from the top until the plants grew and the roots were able to spread to the ground. Sadly it was a 4-Pack so the 5th plant wont be getting a feeding tray (yet). I came up with my own plant-cup design, which allows me to have runoff and be able to pour or test the runoff water, while also being more stable than just a cup. Im also running the photoperiod tent at 18/6 during veg and am trying out 20/4 for the automatics tent this run. ---------------------------------

YouKnov_og Summary of the last ~2 weeks since week 0: I kind of lost a little track with everything, as i was busy with regular life and also had a relative watch over them. My main problems were the seedlings which were kind of showing some symptoms of some issues. I couldnt really tell what the problem was, as it couldve been under- as well as overfeeding; or the pH was wrong, or the EC; dosages; ... I was maybe a little sloppy but it was also hard to keep track of everything. Two of the automatics, Tangerine Dream (in the small tent/big pot) and Power Plant (small tent/plastic cup) didnt germ, or didnt come out because i may have planted them too deep (TD perhaps, but the root didnt grow beyond 2cm), or they just gave up halfway through breaking out (PP; maybe i transferred it from wet paper to medium too soon; although the coco was wet and not too wet, so it shouldve just kept going. I have reordered TD and PP, and also ordered 2 more automatic seeds to put into the run (Diesel Automatic from Zamnesia Seeds and a mystery Anesia Seeds automatic seed (one of 15, i assume)). While this might seem a little overambitious and the tent could get crowded, i will put them into the tiny cups and if they fail and this idea turns out to be dumb and they all die, well fuck it, you live and learn but i want to do this. So anyway after i was away from the plants for a few days, both photos and autos grew much bigger from when i last saw them, maybe 3-5 days ago at that time. Legit went from seedling stage to growing first their set of one-prong leaves, to two emerging branches, then all of a sudden they doubled in size and theres a second node growing already. The time i was away i was a bit anxious because the little seedlings were showing these kind of unidentifiable issues. I adjusted the feeding but at the same time i had to introduce my plants to the bottom-feeding and fill the trays. All of this was kind of a hassle, given that i was stressed with other stuff around those days already. Anyway, i layed it all into the hands of AC Infinity and Terra Aquatica as well as CANNA's nutrients. I set all the trays and plants up with the strings that sucks water up so the pot and plant can soak it up (i know with coco it seems a little wrong, as coco needs that washing and runoff. For that i still water from the top once to thrice a week, Id say. I'll adjust as it goes, but ive heard some convincing reviews and when I came back to my plants, expecting the worst, i was met with stronger, more beautiful plants and wet soil and no problems. Purple Punch and the other plants got a real JUNGLE treatment one day, when I turned on the humidifier to bump the RH for the lil seedlings, I intentionally didnt turn on the DEhumidifier, just got the exhaust system with the charcoal filter. Said filter is also wearing its sock, as its recommended you put it on your active charcoal filters. However, that thing was soaked and dripping (and probably restricted the outtake and didnt let much of the water through), as well as EVERYTHING else in the tent. Walls, ground, appliances, pots and PLANTS! The weak, young plants were hit by huge droplets forming on their lil 2-3cm leaves. Purple Punch got hit real hard with it getting bent down like youre doing LST but on a seedling. The Gelato#45 plant in the plastic cup also got bent pretty hard. Pink Rozay and Colombian Gold however, survived and stood their ground; standing a perfect figure, straight up with 2 leaves out the side, both having around 5-6 relatively large droplets of water, neatly arranged along each side edge. (so one leave had like 10 - 12 droplets together around the edges of ONE leave. those plants are strong, or got lucky positioning. Anyhow it looked cool). YET. YEt, naturally, the plants regained a lot of strength. Purple Punch got back up and shows for it by having a thicker main stem than her fellows already. Gelato, which showed a bit of stretching at the beginning, as it was placed too low, is also growing well. I have not mentioned Colombian Gold for another fortunate surprise: she was showing symptoms of what i believe was OVERfeeding, so i toned it down a bit (after i thought i was UNDERfeeding her), but this was right when i had to leave and couldnt watch her daily and was like "🙏 [insert deity] take the wheel". Then today i come back and to my surprise she has regained her strength and shows a healthy green color in her leaves. I have regained some trust and optimism for this grow and am excited where it will lead. I also upgraded my dehumidifier water catching tank by putting a pump inside which pumps water out of it. Normally you use the hose that comes with it and gravity and downward angles from the outlet, which means i had to place the DEhum higher than some bucket, inside my tent. TErrible. Pump settup: Easy. pump runs 30 min every 30 min (could be way less but i dont have that precise of a timer clock) I do have to mention the auto tent shit thats going on tho: I know this wasnt well thought through, i just wanted to go for it and try a 2 tent setup. i have 2 60W lights from my frist grows and i put one of them inside for now. Since this was my DRYING tent from previous grows, it already had an exhaust system. I put the plants in, everythings fine, except for the humidity, which is like 40-50% in my basement and thus in the AC-less tent. I bought a cheapo humidifier but it seems to only run for a few hours before automatically shutting off and i cant change that, so imma have to buy another one so i lost money again. anyway those plants im hopeful for and can see they are pulling through, but the low and irregular humidity mightve caused some issues, or some other factors. (Yes i have an airflow fan in BOTH tents.). Ill see where it goes, especially when theres more plants in there. For now im very happy that my plants in fact DIDNT die and pulled through the past turbulent week. Today i changed the water in the trays so they now got fresh nutrient solutions to feed on, i also poured some solution on top of the soil, even though it was damp/wet. I also realized i forgot to add CANNA Cannazym this entire time, since this can be added from the start it seems (it has a very sweet smell, kinda weird and heavy, very sugary). I want to try stuff out and specifically i want to try out as many strains as i can in one go cuz my ADHD, weed addicted brain cant stand only having one strain and need to constantly have something different. TL;DR: wasnt able to pay 100% of my attention to the lil fragile symptomatic seedlings this week and was pleasently surprised that they are in fact still growing and are strong ladies. Two auto seeds (Power Plant, Tangerine Dream) didnt sprout, so im reordering and adding strains. Grow is going well. Anyhow thats the Week 2 update (im counting from Week 0 (sprouting and early seedling))👍👍👻

YouKnov_og The plants were growing well the past few days. the last 2 days i stopped the bottom-feeding and watered from the top. tomorrow i will clean the trays and resume with the bottom-feeding. I also built a table for the small auto tent (out of a canvas with support beams in the middle, so i could cut a whole to fit the bigger pot) so now all the little plants have enough a secure and even ground and once i put another tray of some sort under the bigger pot, the soil levels will be roughly even. this configuration took up the entire space tho, so i couldnt use the new humidifier anymore in that tent. That Humidifer was trash tho anyway and i was looking for a new option, even ordered cheap atomizers (which is exactly what was in the humidifier i got), but i didnt wanna wait until next monday (it was tuesday or wednesday) so today on thursday i DIYed some kind of double air duct setup for the humidifier. Im not 100% sure this work tho. since the negative pressure in the tents is what sucks in the water vapor from the nossle through either duct, the amoutn of vapor entering each tent might be fought over by whichever negative pressure is higher in either of the tents, and i think the small tent is sucking in all of the vapor. Its hard to check, as when i open the door, the negative pressure equalizes and theres no force sucking in the vapor anymore. So imma have to check with my hygrometers' history in the app. and if this solution doesnt work, I got 3 small atomizers on the way, which are definitely plent for the tent. I also started topping my plants when i realized that i should maybe start doing that now (they grew so fast, i kinda forgot to think about it). i could only top MR, PP and CG so far, because Pink Rozay's current upmost node is too small to cut off yet. Im unsure how i will train them. Im also bound to one plant sitting higher than the others, due to the fact that i cant fit 4 trays side by side in my photo tent, so one has to be elevated (although maybe i can fix that somehow). I dont want the plants to get too big, but i also want nice canopies. Ive been thinking scrogging, or maybe stick to LST. but the cables are so unhandy and i kinda suck at planning. although since i topped one plant last time, i feel that I can work better with a topped plant due to the symmetry. Ill see. Oh right and I added the new seeds i ordered as well as the replacements for Power Plant and Tangerine Dream. The new auto seeds are Diesel Automatic from Zamnesia Seeds (I've had this in my first grow, it was my very first home grown plant i smoked and it was the most delicious thing ever (tasted like straight lemon candy in my vape) Also my friend has been wanting this one again since i first grew it. I know the plant will be tiny but its something) as well as a mystery seed from Anesia Seeds which turned out to be Violet Face. I also got another free mystery RQS F1 Hybrid seed, but it was MilkyWay AGAIN lmao The seeds sprouted, only Tangerine Dream is taking tis time and isnt fully peaking out yet. I need a tray for that pot so i can water the coco until runoff and wet the whole thing so the plant can penetrate everywhere with her roots. Thats everything for this week. Gonna be a lot more working on the plants now with all that LST. Im not sure how much Ill train the small plants yet. Ill see. Until next week
