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
