RelaeX Today was a big step for the plants! After noticing they were getting root-bound and starting to crave more nutrients, I decided it was time to give them a fresh start in larger pots. Here’s what I did:
I transplanted the three plants into **11-liter pots** because the mini pots with Lightmix were completely root-bound and the plants had started to demand additional nutrients.
I used Floragard Professional Growmix, which has consistently provided the best results for me in terms of price-performance ratio.
To enhance the soil, I mixed in Zamnesia/Bio Nova Living Soil granules at approximately 90 g per liter.
Watering & pH
For watering, I adjusted tap water to a pH of 6.4 using a small amount of citric acid.
I followed the Hesi feeding schedule (TNT, Enzyme, and Starter/Anti-Stress) at about 20% below the recommended dosage, since the soil is already enriched with nutrients.
Climate Control
Because humidity tends to be too low during the winter months, I installed a humidifier.
My target is to maintain a relative humidity of around 50%.

RelaeX Soon the little ones will be real plants. They like their new pods and the topping went well...
The Main light is now @100% with ppfd about 650 and dli about 35. The humidity ist nearly at rel 50%.
In the n3xt few weeks they ll get new bigger pods. But I am not sure yet if they get a 33 l or 40 l pods.
Grow Diary – New Homes & Upgrades
Today was a big day for the little ones! After spending their first weeks in the 11L pots, the plants finally received their permanent homes. They now sit comfortably in their final containers (40×40×40 cm), where they’ll stay all the way until harvest.
The extra space should give the roots plenty of room to stretch out and grow strong, which hopefully means healthier leaves, thicker stems, and better overall development moving forward.
On top of that, I installed the automatic drip irrigation system today. This should keep watering consistent and stress‑free, making sure the soil stays perfectly moist without any guesswork. I’m excited to see how this upgrade improves their growth over the next weeks.
Everything is set for a smooth and steady journey from here. Let’s see how they settle into their new environment!

RelaeX Welcome to Week seven.
I have reduced the light for the high societys...about 470 ppfd and 31 dli. They look a little bit stressed by the transplantation last weekend.
Zupernova (pictures front right) instead, is a real eye candy. She growes strong and fast and makes neary 2 cm/Day in hight. 🤩
Nutritionadding is actually paused. The new pods / substrate should have enough Nutrients for the next few weeks.
I just adjust the Water with super vit, root complex and circus acid for PH (6,3 -6,6) correction.

RelaeX The plants are doing great. Supernova, especially, is my favorite. She's about 55 cm tall now and looks super strong. The High Societys are also growing well, but they're smaller. The weak one is 35 cm, and the stronger one is about 45 cm. This weekend, I'm going to top them again and also remove some leaves. After these high-stress treatments, they'll get two more weeks to chill before I send them into flowering, so they'll be ready to visit MJ26.
The work is done for this week... i took a quarter bucket of leafs,cut also some nodes to and try to make clones...

RelaeX Welcome to the last week before I switch the lights to 12/12. The Zupernova is a real eye candy and my favorite on this run. The High Societys are developing well too, but they are a bit smaller, about 45 cm. One of them got a new leaf cut because it puts too much energy into the lower nodes. Also i gave them a little more light about 600 ppfd and 40 dli.
So they get one more week to relax before they will sned into bloom.

RelaeX Switched to 12/12 on Sunday and adjusted nutrients accordingly. The Supernova is about 70 cm tall and received another lower‑branch trim. The High Society plants are still a bit finicky. The Erbes were hard to spot—curious to see how they handle the bloom nutrients.
They will stay in flowering for roughly 9–12 weeks, with adjustments to feeding as needed depending on how each strain responds.

RelaeX Welcome to week 12.
The Zupernova develops very well. She grows very well and is actually about 93 cm tall. As you can see, there will be a lot of nice buds in the end.
The High Societys are not that strong; they are about 70 cm tall. The weakest one has a slight nutrient deficit. I can't explain it myself because the conditions should be nearly perfect. I tested the pH of the soil; it should be about 6.5 by color. My drain water has a pH of 6.4, and the EC is at 1.3 mS/cm. I also reduced the light a little bit because the XS 3000 is very strong and caused some light stress.💡
If you have an idea what could be a reason for the yellowish leaves, just leave a hint in the comments.🤔👇
Enjoy your Sunday and happy growing!☀️🌱
Update: I found the problem one week ago. That's when it began turning yellowish. It did not eat enough, so the soil got very salty. Today, I flushed out the salt with 20 liters of water. The drain is about 1.9. The soil can dry out over the next few days. After that, it will get root enzymes and about 20% of the original nutrient scheme, but no PK. Next week, I'll see how it works.

RelaeX So, this week we had a bit of a problem with one of the High Society plants – it wasn't taking up nutrients properly, so we had to flush it with 20 liters of water. The EC was super high at 3.8, but after the flush, it dropped to 1.8. We decided not to water it again right away, and it's still drying out, even five days later. We're planning to give it some PowerEnzymes and Antistress Root Complex soon.
We also checked the other plants, and their EC levels were fine, at 1.3 and 1.6. But just to be safe, we've cut their nutrient intake down to 60% of the usual.
The Zupernova plant is doing great, though! It's got tons of bud sites, and you can already smell the terpenes. No issues with its leaves or anything, it's looking really good.
The other High Society plant is also growing strong, it's about 70 cm tall now.

RelaeX Week 15:
Zupernova: She developed well, and the purple color looks wonderful with the frosted leaves. 💜🌿✨
High Society: I decided to take out the weak one with the EC shock and send her back to veg because she doesn't have enough energy for a good harvest. The other one stays in the tent.
The drain EC is between 1.3 and 1.9 for all plants. 💧📏

RelaeX Welcome to Week 17, Day 7 in flower. 🌸🌿
The Zupernova is doing great. The buds are very frosty, and I'm looking forward to a good harvest. ❄️🤩
The remaining High Society began to struggle a little bit. pH and EC are in the green area. But for the last 2 or 3 weeks, she should make it. As a conclusion, I can only say that the High Society and I are not a match. I've never had so much struggle with a strain until now.

RelaeX I think the last few days have begun. 🗓️🌱
The first terpenes turned yellow, but there are also some clear ones to see. 🧐💧 The Zupernova is a really nice plant. 🌟🌿 She get one last drink with fertilizers and the just clean Water till the end. 🚿💧
The other high society starts struggling also the EC and ph are fine but it doesn't drink enough. 😟📉 The buddevoping is a big low. 😔🥀 At least weI got a clone from the stronger one. 💪🌱

RelaeX The high society moved to the small tent.
The stress really slowed down the flowering and bud growth totally. 😟😩 I'll give her one or two weeks longer, but I am not sure if it helps.
I also got some clones to try it again without adding for the veg. 🌱🌿
The seeds were a bit slow in germation and only one of two made it.
In the grow the plant is an real eye candy and easy to grow.

RelaeX Today it's time to chop .
The Zupernova was a really nice plant. ? The buds are really heavy and frosty. ❄️ For leaf removal, I needed 3 pairs of gloves because she is so sticky.
The red and purple autumn colors on the leaves are wonderful to see. 🍁💜
The wet weight is incredible... but not so exact because I had to use a personal scale: 1.3kg wet weight. ⚖️ Nothing more to say...
She smells like diesel with a light note of menthol. ⛽🌿 I am excited to test it in 3 weeks.
I hope you enjoyed my first GD run... 🌱😊
Now it's clone wars time 🔁... let's see what is possible with a little more training. 💪🥦
If you have questions, tips, or tricks, just tell me.
I've never had such problems with a grow until now.
The first one had an EC that was high at flowering. So I watched the other one more carefully. No drain was higher than 2.5, but she got weaker and weaker in flowering. The terpenes didn't develop much.
It smells a little bit citrusy, but I don't want to smoke that troubled shit anyway. Maybe the next one...
At least the performance was acceptable in the end. And the "wet" weight should be nearly comparable to the dry weight.
So I won't waste any more time on this harvest and will put the buds into the fireplace... burn in hell, you highest... muhahaha
At least I got some clones from the stronger one and will try again because I'm ambitious...

RelaeX I've never had such problems with a grow until now. 😟

Timetable for bloom and harvest...
Blooming (12/12) will start early March.
Harvest is planed around May 15th...
So everything should be ready for MJ 26 for analyse and Highlive
las enzimas se van a dar un banquete en esas raíces!! al ver las imágenes vi que estaban marcándose las venas en las hojas,parecido a la deficiencia de magnesio. al traducir tú texto sobre el cultivo entendí,que una de tus pequeñas tenía bloqueo! rápida reacción habéis tenido. realmente estoy convencido de que sacarás un buen producto compañero!
@carlitospiratahaze, Thanks for taking the time to read and think about it. My first thought was the same. I bought an EC meter about four weeks ago, and it was pretty interesting to see how the EC went from acceptable to toxic in just one week.😅
This is a clean and healthy grow 🔥🌿 great work! You’ve got some serious skills 👏😎
