Spy420 Hello everyone, this is my first grow report on this site 👋
Previously, I grew three plants in soil in a standard single-plant box. This report will be something new for me, as it will be my first experience growing in coco coir, in a very small space, and with professional fertilizers.
Briefly, I use a 30x30x60 box, a 5-liter fabric pot, General Hydroponics FloraSeries FloraMicro, FloraBloom, and FloraGro fertilizers, CaliMagic, and Ripen and Flora Kleen for the final stages. Lighting regime 18/6, temperature in the box during the day 25-27 degrees, at night 20-21. Humidity 55-60%
11.23.25 - I placed a seed between two wet damp cotton pads, placing it in a container. The seed sprouted for about 5 days and produced a strong root, after which I transplanted it into a pot. Until the sprout sheds its helmet, I keep it under a plastic cup with holes for ventilation under a table lamp, and spray water into the cup from a spray bottle
11.30.25 - The sprout took off its helmet, the first week began 😁
The first week I water the plant with 100-150 milliliters of water, pH 5.8-6.0, ppm of water ~200
12.05.25 - 6 day
I think there's a slight slowdown in growth due to the coco reaching 360 ppm after buffering, which seems low.
12.05.25 - I watered with 500 ml of this solution, 6.0 pH 480 ppm:
Cal-Mag 0.5 ml/l
Micro 0.3 ml
Grow 0.3 ml
Bloom 0.2 ml
12.06.25 - 7 day, day off from watering

Overall, everything is going well, the plant continues to gain weight, the LST training is proceeding as planned, and I managed to keep the plant at a height of 6 cm

Same compote as yesterday, but a little bit stronger. I did a light defoliation, removing a total of 5 leaves that were in the way. I also measured the drainage, which was 1570 ppm. I'll use a weak Flora Kleen solution for the next watering to lower ppm of the drainage.
12.25.25 - 26 day: 2000 ml, 5.8 pH 200 ppm
I watered it twice with a Flora Kleen solution, with a dosage of 1.5 ml/l. The final drainage was about 800 ppm

Overall, everything is going well. The plant has now returned to normal feeding after the salt buildup, and the drainage water now shows 600-700 ppm after watering the compote. I continue to perform LST training and some defoliation. During the training process, 3 colas from secondary stems were lost

I realized I was giving the plant a critically low dose of basic fertilizer. I was so afraid of overfeeding that I actually underfed it 😕. I'm increasing the dose of basic fertilizer. The plant has also started to flower, and some pistils are appearing. After training the plant, my fingers smell sweet with the aroma of mango and papaya 😋
I also wish everyone a Happy New Year 🙌. I wish you healthy and beautiful plants, and may they bring you only positive emotions 😺

I'm facing a troubling situation: during the day, the temperature in the grow box is 21-23 degrees Celsius, but at night it drops to 15-16 degrees. Humidity is 60-65% during the day and 70-75% at night. The room where the grow box is located is currently cool, 17-20 degrees. The coco coir is mostly always moist, as I water it every day. Today I discovered that the fabric pot is covered in a white, mold-like coating, and the surface of the coco coir also has a white coating, and in some places it's clearly mold. The plant looks healthy and continues to grow every day. 😕
I trimmed the foliage as much as possible and removed excess shoots to clear the space and allow light to reach the coco coir. I removed the coco coir with visible white mold from the surface and wiped the pot clean of the white mold with paper. I moved the fan to blow air onto the substrate surface. I also ordered a heating mat for seedlings to place under the pot and raise the substrate temperature at night.
The positive aspect of trimming the foliage and shoots is that the plant's structure is now visible; it was difficult to perform LST training before because of the dense foliage, but now I've managed to straighten the stems a bit more. I'm waiting for the heating mat and will continue to observe.😤

01.11.26 - 43 day: 1000 ml, 6.0 pH 1230 ppm.
The situation has improved with the heating mat: daytime temperatures are 21-22 degrees, with 55-60% humidity, and nighttime temperatures are 19-20 degrees Celsius, with 65% humidity. A dehumidifier is in the room where the box is located, and the humidity in the room is 55-60%. However, the substrate has also started drying out more rapidly because of the mat. I haven't seen any mold yet, and I hope I never see it again. ✊
The plant continues to gain weight, and trichomes are already visible on some leaves 😌
