Lemon Haze / Rainbow sherbet

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. --- 🔧 Setup Overview • Grow Space: 120 × 120 × 180 cm • Medium: Plagron Light Mix mixed with worm compost • Grow Method: Soil • Lighting: Lumatek Compact 465W  – 24h of light for the first 3 days  – Now running 18/6 (lamp distance ~50 cm, DLI 30) • Climate Control: Inkbird controller system  – Temperature: 23–24.5 °C  – Humidity: 60–70 % --- 🌱 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! 🌿

phobic94 Hi everyone, a quick recap of week 2. The week started off a bit complicated: my extractor fan broke down on Friday. While waiting for the new one (supposedly arriving this Friday), I left the tent door open to prevent the dehumidifier from making the temperature rise too high. It actually stabilized the temperatures quite well, so it held up without any problems. I topped the plants 5 days ago; it was initially the only thing I planned to do this week. But since I had some free time today, I decided to start LST (Low Stress Training) on ​​most of the plants to open up the structure a bit. However, one of the indicas is growing more slowly and seems a bit weaker. I haven't touched this one: no topping, no LST. I prefer to let it recover peacefully and see how it develops before doing anything to it. For watering, I did two waterings this week: one with a small dose of nutrients, and another with just Power Roots + enzymes. Since it's an organic grow, I don't adjust the pH. I just measure it out of curiosity to see where I stand, but I don't change it. Overall, everything is going well: the sativas are starting to get a bit taller, the indicas are staying more compact, and the foliage is clean. No deficiencies, no strange symptoms. For now, I'm letting the plants recover from the topping and LST. Once the new extractor fan is installed and the plants have grown a bit more, I'll start preparing the SCROG setup in the coming weeks. Happy growing everyone!

phobic94 Hey everyone, a quick update for week 3. It was a busy week. I did a good leaf cleaning session to open things up a bit (no pictures, I was focused on it). After that, I increased the DLI to 42, which initially lightened the new growth a little, but they're already starting to regain a more normal color—a logical reaction after pruning, more light, and watering. I continued LST on most of the plants. The plant on the left, which was a bit weaker at the beginning, has finally recovered well, so I topped it this week to help it catch up with the others. This week, I watered twice: the first time with a little nutrient solution, then I added a thin layer of worm castings on top, and during the second watering, I only used water to gently allow the organic matter to settle. I also had a small issue with my Blumat pressure gauge, which remained stuck around 260 mbar, even after watering. This is probably due to the roots pulling directly on the probe, or a small air bubble in the tube. I'll reposition it or clean the tip to get reliable readings. Good news: my new extractor fan and filter arrived and are already installed. The climate is now much more stable, especially with the slightly higher DLI. Overall, the plants are doing well: the sativas are starting to stretch, the indicas are staying more compact, and the overall structure is settling in nicely. Everything is recovering well from LST and pruning. If they continue like this, I should be able to switch to a 12/12 light cycle within a week, once everything has fully stabilized.
