Mimosa x Orange Punch

Dychaweflaku Witamy w kolejnym tygodniu. Rośliny rosną zdrowo. Dwa dni temu skierowałem na nie nieco mocniej wentylator i wygląda na to, że spowodowało to lekkie „odkształcenie” liści, więc wróciłem do poprzednich ustawień. Zainwestowałem również w nowy gadżet – światłomierz. Okazało się, że lampa była trochę za mocna, więc ustawiłem ją na optymalne wartości, około 200 PPFD na początek. Na początku tygodnia miałem problem z rozciąganiem, który udało mi się opanować, ale kupiłem czujnik, aby zapewnić roślinom jak najlepsze warunki. Pozdrawiam i do zobaczenia w przyszłym tygodniu.

Dychaweflaku Hello, the situation is as follows: either Root Juice stressed them a bit, although I doubt it, or the lamp set at 250 PPFD hit them too hard. After lowering it to 150–180, they finally started growing again and new leaves look healthy. I’m only worried about the size differences between them. I plan to transplant them into final pots tomorrow and see what happens. Worst case, I keep the biggest one and extend veg to fill the tent. The others recovered, but further observation will show more. I even considered throwing them out, but it’s probably not worth losing two weeks of veg since the damage isn’t big. See you next week.

Dychaweflaku The plants have been moved to their final pots. Early “deficiencies” showed up, but the previous issues are fixed and they bounced back well. Plant #5 stays in a 2-liter juice carton because I want to test one thing. The rest look solid, new nodes are forming correctly. Topping and LST planned in the coming days. I thought they were doomed, but they’re handling it. Growth differences are visible, probably genetics. See you next week. I used Biotabs exactly as recommended by the manufacturer, except the tablet since I always use one per pot. Biobizz will be dosed normally in ml, because Biotabs doesn’t provide liquid measurements.

Dychaweflaku Hello! After the recent chaos with my light intensity, I finally managed to get everything back on track. The plants are growing healthy and looking great with no issues at all. I’d also like to introduce my little friend who loves sitting in the tent and watching the beautiful plants grow together with me. This week I did topping, some LST, and probably “mainlining” (I’m still not sure if that’s the exact name for what I did). I kept two shoots from the top and two from the node below, and removed the rest. See you next week!

Dychaweflaku Everything is progressing exactly as expected. The plants have been trained with LST and topping, along with a light defoliation to improve airflow and structure. I also rotated and swapped their positions to keep the canopy even and balanced. See you in a week for the next update.

Dychaweflaku I didn’t post an update on 18.12 because today I’m doing the flip and I want to count a full flowering week starting from today. The plants took a bit of a hit and I’m still not 100% sure what caused it. I was looking for the reason. There are some strange burn marks. Two plants are on BioTabs, the other two haven’t received anything yet, so for now I’m still suspecting the light. I raised the lamp to 40 cm and we’ll see how it goes. I probably cut a bit too much during defoliation, but I prefer to remove more now than during flowering. The plants bounced back well and everything is going as it should. New growth looks fine so far. I wish you all Merry Christmas and see you after the holidays ❤️

Dychaweflaku Hello, I’ve been away for a bit due to vacation and some minor issues. We are now one week into flowering. I think the plants are moving in the right direction and they are no longer showing any serious problems. They received compost tea, but only Orgatrex. Instead of 5 ml, I gave 1 ml per liter due to visible nitrogen burn. The other two plants will receive BioBizz at the next watering, as I mentioned before that two are on Biotabs and two on BioBizz. At the moment we have stretch. As soon as it stops, I plan to do a proper defoliation. I don’t want to stress them right now. I will also start adding PK from Biotabs. Greetings and see you next week.

Dychaweflaku Welcome back after a short break. I need to sync the update schedule. Today we are at 2 weeks and 3 days, so the next update will be posted in 4 days. That’s also why there are only a few photos in this report. The plants have recovered nicely. I slightly raised them to even out the canopy. All of them received Biotabs compost tea + Orgatrex. Two plants are additionally run on BioBizz, as planned from the beginning, to make a proper comparison between the two brands. The induction phase is coming to an end and we are entering full flowering. We’ll see how it develops from here. Best regards and see you in the next update.

Dychaweflaku Welcome back after a short break. Today marks exactly 3 weeks, and from now on I’ll try to post updates regularly, week by week, because things got a bit chaotic. At the moment the plants are getting only PK and tea, alternated. I got confused during defoliation and mixed up which plants were supposed to stay on Grow nutrients and which on BioTabs, so the original plan went out the window. I’ve cleaned things up and done the last cut. I think it’s safe to count around 2 weeks of induction and 1 week of flower. We’ll see how it goes. Overall, the plants look fine. I was slightly concerned about some lighter leaves in places, but it doesn’t seem like a disaster, as all of them are developing fairly evenly. Best regards and see you in the next update.

Dychaweflaku Welcome to another week. The plants are progressing nicely. One plant is having some nutrient uptake issues because it’s in a 2-liter pot, as you can see in the photos. The plant in the upper left corner was a bit low on nitrogen, so it received a higher dose during the compost tea feeding and is starting to regain color. At the moment everything is on track. I lowered the light slightly, but that move was too aggressive and caused some leaf tacoing. I’ve already corrected it and found the sweet spot between max and min intensity. The plants are fed alternately: one watering with PK, the next with compost tea. Stay tuned for the next updates. Greetings

Dychaweflaku Sorry for the lack of updates. This week I noticed a probable deficiency on two plants that are fed with BioBizz. The two plants on BioTabs are doing much better and look stable. Buds are starting to gain mass and get denser. Plants are getting BioTabs PK and BioTabs Compost Tea alternately. I reduced the light to 85% power, as they don’t need full intensity at this stage anymore. Overall condition is good, except for the visible difference between the feeding programs.

Dychaweflaku Continuing observations: the two BioBizz plants are still showing deficiency symptoms, while the two BioTabs plants are growing evenly and without issues. Buds are clearly swelling and putting on weight. Still running BioTabs PK + Compost Tea alternately. The light stays at 85%, as plants are already in the later flowering stage. Apart from the differences caused by feeding, everything looks very good and flowering is going well.
