Astronaut Status #24 - Winter Grow

GMOboarder cuttings received a little late. Not at all well rooted. Hope they'll make it... Update (14.09.): 2 of 3 are dead. Ordered 3 new cuttings from another shop now. Hope they'll be properly rooted before they send them out. Update (19.09.): All 3 are dead. Received the new cuttings. This time with notable roots right out of the box. All in all they look way more vital. Sprinkled ~1g Mykorrhiza into the soil around each plug during transplantation. Sidenote: checked the roots of the dead Astronauts. NO roots at all - like NONE! Even after ~1,5 weeks of giving them extra care with a low VPD of 0,6. Looks like they cut them, put them in the plugs and sent them on their way straight away WTF

GMOboarder VPD raised to 0,9 Transplanted into their final pots; 30L Florganics Dope Soil Living Soil. Sprinkled ~2g Mykorrhiza into the area around the roots. Update (29.09.): topped them above node #6

GMOboarder VPD raised to 1,0 Plants grow vigorously. Removed 2 leaves that looked like they had a little powdery mild dew. Prepared a 3% H2O2 solution to be sprayed just in case things escalate. Update (08.10.): no more milddew in sight. Some leaves have a little light burn, turned down the LEDs to ~460PPFD and disabled UV again.

GMOboarder VPD raised to 1,1 Second topping done today. Plan is 2 more weeks of veg before flipping. Light still hitting with ~460 PPFD. Encountered another leaf with what looked like powdery mild dew in the bottom of the same plant like last week. The leaf touched the felt cover, which tends to get a little damp after watering. Defoliated anything touching it. More LST done. Gave 1g/L Mycorrhiza once.

GMOboarder VPD will stay @ 1.1 now until week 3 of flower. Added a few yellow sticky traps and 3 packs of amblyseius swirskii to each plant for prophylactic pest control. Gave 0.2ml/L Yucca extract 2 times for better water absorbtion. Lots and lots of LST done before flipping.

GMOboarder day 1 of flower.
