Ocean Freeze & Azul Rosa RHS AC Infinity

VenomGrows It begins! Both seeds have popped out of the soil at the same time. It's hard to see in the picture, but if you zoom in, you can spot 2 babies :) VPD is being maintained at around 0.7 kPa by the AI+ controller. The light is dimmed to 33% in the growth channel and 0% in the flowering channel. The plants are growing a bit slowly; I think it's due to the slightly cooler temperatures, but they're doing really well and look healthy. I think the plants still need some time to establish themselves in the bed, and then it should take off :) Slowly but surely, we're making progress. The first week is over! I'm really curious to see how it will continue.

VenomGrows Next week begins! I added some lava rocks and other types of stones as shelter for some microbes! VPD is consistently at 0.7, and I’ll keep it that way for the next few weeks. It looks like the two are slowly but surely settling well into the soil. Now it's time for a few days of Christmas break.

VenomGrows Week 3 is underway! Slowly but surely it’s happening :) The growth here has been very slow at the beginning since I just threw the seeds directly into the Living Soil bed. This means there’s no dryback, and everything happens a bit slower at first. But they are slowly getting established, and I think things will really kick off in the coming weeks. So, week 3 is over, and now hopefully the growth will start!

VenomGrows Week 3 begins! Today, a couple of moisture sensors were added to the soil, and over the next week, a few earthworms will be coming in as well. Now they're starting to grow nicely!

VenomGrows New week begins! Today about 30 earthworms moved in. Ocean Freeze is growing noticeably faster than Azul Rosa. Let's see how I handle the topping; maybe one of you has a tip? My plan was to top both after the 4th node, but Ocean Freeze will probably be quite a bit bigger by then. They're growing really great now😇 Friday will be topping day, and then there will be the first watering with nettle extract, Sparkling Flower FPE, and Great White Shark powder. Day 35 topping and moistening the soil with 500ml.

VenomGrows New week begins! Just watering if necessary Azul Rosas 8 shoots are still hiding under those giant leaves 😅 Day 38: I had my circulation fan running at level 10 all night, and Ocean Freeze didn't really like that and showed some slight signs of wind stress on 2 or 3 leaves. I've now set it to level 7 and will wait and see. No watering for now. Soil moisture is between 70 and 130 mbar, so actually completely in the good range. So week 6 is over and the first pre-flowers are already showing, and so far they are all female :) The veg phase will definitely take another 2 to 3 weeks before I switch the light.

VenomGrows So a new week begins! I increased the LED distance to 50 cm because I have yellow tips on some leaves. Maybe this will help a bit. Pre-flowers are slowly becoming visible, but I can't identify them 100% yet. Hopefully, they will all be female. Day 47: Watered with compost tea, about 1.5 liters. So they are growing well now, and Day 52 will probably be the first flowering day. VPD has now been increased to 0.9 to 1.1 kPa because the soil is very nutrient-rich. So the 7th week of veg is over. Today there was another top dressing with Organic Melted Barley Kick Flip Bloom Great White Granular 1 IMO 4 Worked everything into the top layer and watered with about 600 ml. There are 2 days of veg left, and then it's off to flowering. 💚💜

VenomGrows Tag 50: everything looks great, tomorrow one last time 18/6 then it's on to 12/12 Day 1 Flowering: looks good so far, but I need to improve my watering habits in the future. Currently at 70 mbar, it's a bit too moist.
