Papayton

Akokalypse_Grow The first week is over. Unfortunately, the third seed did not germinate. It was watered twice with root booster. pH was at 6.2, EC 0.8. After the seventh day, the babies will get their first grow nutrients. Thus, the growth phase can begin. The little roots are already peeking out of the seedling pots a bit. So, in a few days, the first repotting will take place.

Akokalypse_Grow The papaytons were repotted in 5-liter buckets. I mixed 3 teaspoons of mycorrhizal and 1 teaspoon of Growshield into the soil. Guano fertilizer was added to the planting hole. Watering was done twice a week, according to the feeding schedule from 420 FLOW. The soil was adequately moist enough. The plants also moved into the larger grow box. The light is set to 50% and is 50cm away.

Akokalypse_Grow The plants were doing well so far. I noticed that the growth was progressing slowly. I checked the EC in the drain. It was way too high for the current veg time. The substrate was then flushed and brought to the desired pH & EC value. I also lightly topped off the substrate and added a little nutrients. After the flushing, the leaves were hanging down a bit. The plant has since recovered. The substrate is definitely still too wet to fertilize again.

Akokalypse_Grow I unfortunately noticed a nitrogen surplus. I'm flushing the substrate. I only had soil with a high nitrogen content for repotting. The plants are now in 18-liter pots. Once they have survived the flushing, I will top the plants soon. The EC is now regulated to 1.0 PH is 6.0

Akokalypse_Grow Problems and Issues The plants were topped, one bent, the other cropped. EC was way too high again, and the nitrogen-rich soil didn't do the plants any good. Burnt tips. Due to flushing, overwatering issues. I'm slowly getting everything back under control.

Akokalypse_Grow Unfortunately, the main stem of plant #2 got torn, so I had to tape it up. I wanted to gently bend the branches for the scrog net. Then this unfortunately happened. Scrog successfully set up. During the next growth phase, all shoots will be threaded further. Drain values Plant 1 pH 5.9 EC 1.2 Plant 2 pH 6.1 EC 1.3 During the next watering, the pH will be raised a bit to reach the ideal value.
