The_Holy_Herb Hello to all growers and welcome to my first green diary. I would like to clarify two things right away: 1: I am by no means an expert in cultivation and this is my first time. I repeat THIS IS MY FIRST TIME GROWING. 2: This project started as a low-budget venture and that's how it's going to stay. BUDGET: 100€. LIGHTNING: Bosytro TQB800 FULL SPECTRUM. This LED panel came straight from TEMU/AliExpress, is a full spectrum light rated for 80 watts dimmable. Cost: 34 euro. Not bad huh? I just hope that the panel is legit for growing! SOIL/POT: I just went for some standard soil and pots from the gardening shop next to my house. I've got some basic flower soil and a nice 8 L pot for my lady. Cost: 10 euro. SEEDLING: Titan F1 from Royal Queen Seeds. Cost 16 euro. NUTRIENTS: BIOBIZZ Trypack indoor 250 ML. This kit is made of 3 bottles by 250 ml of BIO-GROW, BIO-BlOOM and TOP-MAX. Should be enough for 1 plant. Cost 13 euro. All of this for a total of 73 euro spent. I'm thinking about buying a pH meter for water measurements. I think is a good idea to keep an eye on the water supply. What do you think guys? Said all of this we still have 27 euro left to invest in the project. Any suggestions guys? 12-11-2025 START The seed sprout within 48 hours, the first 24 in a water glass and the following 24 hours using the wet paper towels technique. The sprouted seed was then moved into his final home, an 8 liter pot. All good.

The_Holy_Herb Hello, with tomorrow we are about to end the 2 week of this little lady, the Titan F1. This week was kinda easy, not too much went on. The plant growed up around 4/5 centimeters going from 5 to 10 cm as of today, almost end of week 2. The watering is not excessive at the moment, I'm checking for dry soil daily. However the plant is literally a baby, don't need much water for now. Ths week went on basically without nutrients, I will be adding some to the water in the next couple of days or watering phases. The temperature was kept stable(21/22 degrees celsius) all the week, one day unfortunately due to a heating mistake it dropped to 12 degrees but for just half day. I manage to rescue the situation and the plant went again to her lovely 21/22 degrees. This shouldn't be a problem because the plant was in the cold environment for really short time. Fixing the problem with the temp was easy and I made sure that this tremendous drop of temperature won't happen again. I had to reduce a bit the power of the lighting (went from 100% to 70%/75% because I believe was a little too strong especially for this early phases of the plant.) Beside this all is proceeding good and regularly, at least for me :). Give a look yourself to my latest pictures from week 2 and let me know. I'm open to tips and suggestions, im a beginner, have mercy

The_Holy_Herb Hello to everybody and welcome back for the weekly report. As of today we are completing the third week of vegetation and was definitely a good week. The plant reached 15 cm of height and is starting to look pretty decent! I love the vivid and nice green colors of this Titan F1, this make me think that I am treating the plant in the right way and is healthy. AT LEAST I HOPE. If we go a bit deeper in the rabbit hole actually this week couple of things went on. First at all I was away for almost a week so to compensate my absence I did water the plant before leaving...with ABUNDANCE, maybe even a little too much :) That much water that basically I didn't add anymore for the next 8 days, basically till today. However the plant didn't complain and keept growing strong. The lighting now is ALWAYS full power. 100%. 24/7 no stop. The temperature is always between 21 and 23, the perfect spot. Humidity is somewhere between 44% and 50% Today was the FIRST watering WITH nutrients from BioBizz. 1 liter of water, the vase didn't drain off. I think is good. If somebody is interested about the nutrients is all documented in my diary with ml, type and liters. Week by week. This was the first watering with nutrients, lets see what will happen in the next 3/4 days. I am really curious to see how the plant will react to the drugs :) Also something else very important is that in 2 or 3 days I will also apply some LST and bend the leaves outward. I want this plant to be kinda compact and that as much light as possible is directed to the flowers where eventuality it will be needed. I must be careful, I was reading a lot of Titan diaries and noticed that they had plenty of broken branches due to LST. I just hope to don't make damages or cause excessive stress. We will see how it will go. Next week probably I will do also some defoliation if the plant gets too bushy, dunno yet which leaves cut off but I can and will manage, uncle google is my friend :) Last picture are plants of chilli Ghost peppers, spicy stuff, they are growing together in harmony with the Titan F1. I hope eventually I can enjoy both of them cuz I love to get high and suffer from capsaicin :) :) Jokes a side, basically I am just fuckin around and looking what I can come up with. The last plant is a carnivorous plant, the one that closes the trap and basically eats alive the prey. Pretty cool stuff that's why has the honour to grow next to the green dope! I think that's all for this week and we see at the end of next week! Good luck to everybody!

The_Holy_Herb Hello everyone and welcome back to my diary. Tomorrow marks the end of the fourth week of growth for Titan F1. I don't think the plant is ready to flower yet and I think it needs at least another week to grow. Only time will tell if I'm right or not. This week has been quiet, but we have two important updates. 1) At the beginning of the week, I gave it some care and removed a few leaves that I thought were unnecessary. A bit of defoliation. Like 6/7 leaves removed. 2) Today, it had some more maintenance, this time more intensive. I removed two excess leaves and applied the LST technique for the first time. Honestly, I enjoyed modifying the pot to accommodate the holes where the string would be attached. To tell the truth, this low-cost adventure is becoming interesting, and I am having a lot of fun doing it and experimenting. To tell the truth, my LST seems a bit aggressive and excessive, but we'll see in the next few days how the plant decides to respond and react to the LST. Maybe it will die, hahaha. During this week, and reading other diaries for comparison, I determined that my plant is NOT drinking enough water. The problem arises because I am unable to determine how much water is left in the soil/pot. So today I decided to use a little cunning and weigh the pot when it was completely dry and then again after I watered it. I watered it with about 1050/1100 ml of water mixed with its weekly dose of nutrients. This time there was excess water, resulting in excess dripping. In the final weighing after watering and after the excess water had drained away, the final weight increased by about 720/730 grams. The water I added was around 1050 grams. So 75% of the water remained in the soil. Dry it was 4400 grams, wet it reached 5120 grams. I don't know if this is good or not, I hope the plant is doing well. In the meantime, I have ordered a device that allows me to check several parameters in the soil, such as moisture, acidity and other things that are important to us growers. I feel like a child at Christmas :). I also bought a pH meter for the water, as mine broke and I had to buy another one, and I haven't been able to check the acidity levels for the last two waterings. I hope it doesn't bother the plant too much and that it continues to grow. I've deduced that it drinks little because I'm forced to water it practically once a week. I expected it to consume more water, especially in its current pre-flowering phase. The new device on its way will help me keep all the parameters under control: the soil, the plant, the temperature, the water levels, the humidity and a few other things I can't remember. Everything should be ready next week. The lamp is on full power all the time, at 100% with a 24/0 cycle, 7 days a week. The plant has reached 20 centimetres in height. I wonder if this LST will keep it small. I have some space issues, so I can't let it grow too tall, which is why I'm using LST. Otherwise, everything seems to be going well, I hope I'll be able to smoke this one. Thanks everyone, see you next week with new updates, who knows, maybe it will start flowering :)

The_Holy_Herb This week started with flowering. The lst was a bit too agressive and one little branch broke but I save it. I applied more lst to the plant this week. The plant doubled the size within a week. I had a pH problem that im fixing, the soil at one point due to nutes hit 4.8, way too low. The flowering is in full power now, I did a flush to adjust the pH and tomorrow will add new nutrients and control the pH. All good for now, a little of stress is visible on the leaves, is due to pH and strong light. For the rest everything else is going fine. See you next week.
