phobic94 Week 1 – Rooting and Early Recovery Stage
First organic test run with the Plagron Bio line – Goal: yield, learning, and fine-tuning
---
👋 Hello everyone!
I’m starting this new grow journal focused on organic cultivation, with the goal of experimenting, learning, and sharing my progress with the community.
This is my first experience using the Plagron Bio line, so it will be a full test to observe how the plants respond to a natural and slow nutrient release.
The clones arrived by mail (4 days in transit) and have now been exactly one week in the soil.

🌱 Strains
• 3 × Rainbow Sherbet
• 3 × Lemon Haze
The clones handled shipping fairly well and are starting to recover.
New leaves are appearing, and the overall structure is becoming more vigorous day by day.

💧 Nutrients
• Line: Plagron Bio (fully organic)
• Starting at 10% of the recommended dose, slowly increasing as the plants respond.
• Goal: promote soil biology and encourage balanced, healthy growth 🌿

☀️ Grow Objectives
Achieve optimal yield while maintaining plant health
Learn to fine-tune climate and feeding in a full organic grow
Test a UV-B lamp at the end of the vegetative phase to observe its effects on vigor and quality

📅 Current Stage – Week 1
The plants are in their rooting and stabilization phase after transport.
Foliage is slightly light green — normal with slow-release organic nutrients.
Growth is picking up gradually, and environmental parameters remain stable.
🔜 Next Steps:
→ Encourage active vegetative growth
→ Keep climate steady (23–24 °C / 60–70 % RH)
→ Prepare the first light organic feeding
→ Observe plant reactions before entering Week 2 🌱

Happy growing everyone! 🌿
