Visiting a Fairy Tale

dedyaga Hello friends! I’m counting Day 10 as the beginning of the vegetative stage, since all plants have now shown their second set of true leaves. Here in Russia, we usually start counting veg from the moment the first five-finger leaf appears — so today marks that milestone. Starting from today, I’ve begun slowly introducing the base nutrients (Plagron Hydro A+B) and performed the first foliar spray with FloraFlex Veg Foliar at 0.8 g/L, pH 5.9. All plants look healthy after transplanting. The issue with Super Lemon was quickly identified — pH drifted to 6.5, even though all coco batches were soaked simultaneously. The pots are now placed inside the RDWC system, currently used as drain trays to help rinse the coco more thoroughly before switching to full hydro mode. This approach promotes faster root development, better flavor quality, and rapid growth of beneficial microflora in the root zone. 🌡️ Environment Day temp: 26 °C Night temp: 22 °C Humidity: 75–85 % Light: 170 PPFD (still under the dome) 💧 Feeding Watering: 2 times per day, 150 ml each Base nutrients: Plagron Hydro A + B — 0.3 + 0.3 ml/L Additives: Voodoo Juice — 1 ml/L Tarantula — 1 ml/L Piranha — 1 ml/L FloraFlex Veg Foliar — 0.8 g/L (foliar spray) pH: 5.9 EC: 0.7 🌱 Day 12 — First Selection and Growth Analysis Today I did the first serious selection based on growth strength. ❌ Plants Removed Out of three Lemon Orange (GHS), only one strong phenotype continues. One Blue Gelato 41 (Barney’s Farm) was also removed due to noticeably slow development. ✅ Fast Buds Photoperiods All 5 Fast Buds photoperiod strains continue to show stable and healthy vegetative growth — strong stems, clean leaf structure, and good reaction to the feeding schedule. ⭐ Strongest Performers AK-47 — currently the fastest-growing plant with the most vigorous vegetative development. White Widow — compact, symmetrical, with nice internode spacing. ⚠️ Slowest Plant Pink Rozay — growing noticeably slower than the other plants.Possible reasons include: a naturally slower-starting phenotype,сslight transplant stress, sensitivity to moisture or irrigation. I’m keeping it for now — it has potential, just needs a bit more time to catch up. 🌡️ Environment Substrate temperature: 24°C Air temperature: 26°C Humidity: 80% Light: 180 PPFD under domes Watering: 150 ml twice per day EC: 0.7 pH: 5.9
