Kushycat Single washcloths in a bag with water in a small greenhouse with a heating mat. I'll leave them to soak at 23 degrees until tomorrow and then put them in small 0.2 liter pots with potting soil. The plan is to let them root in there for a week and then put them in the final 12.9-liter Airpot pots. Yes, there are people who advise against transplanting seedlings and recommend planting them directly into the final container. But I'll take my chances.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Kushycat The timing was a little optimistic for sowing. The seeds germinated after 24 hours and after another 24 hours, four of the six had poked their little heads out of the soil. I was still in the pre-Christmas rush and only had a short time, and they probably stood in the dark for a few hours too long. So far, I've had the lamp on at 20% and simply left it running 24/7. Tomorrow, I urgently need to take care of the Tuya app, which unfortunately has not been able to connect to the hortiONE lamp so far. The NYC Auto has unfortunately fallen over a bit and the stem looks slightly shriveled. Perhaps it was damaged by too much ventilation. I propped it up a bit and filled it with soil to protect the stem. I hope this hasn't stressed it too much. The Medical Mass CBD is scratching at the top layer of soil and should see the light of day tomorrow. It makes me happy to look into the tent and see the little ones! Today, they got some Clonex Pro Start in their first watering and were watered very lightly and sparingly. 12/29/2025 Accident in paradise... unfortunately, the Medical Mass died. I wanted to see why it wasn't sticking its head out of the soil, and in doing so, the seedling broke. It also looks a little strange. I put a new seed of the same variety in water. I will probably remove the Medical Mass from here and create a separate report if it germinates and grows well.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ The lamp has been running 20 hours a day since yesterday. I was able to fix the problem with the app and connect it to the Bluetooth button.

Kushycat So, my dear plant lovers, now it gets complicated... The corkscrew seems to have been stunted in its growth even before the lamp incident. The fact that the lamp ran 24/7 for one day due to an incorrect setting was not a big deal. However, the next day, the lamp was at 100% for about 6 hours, and I think the plants all suffered damage as a result. I didn't repot the Corkscrew into an airpot as planned, but into a 2-liter fabric pot. I don't think it's developing well enough to yield much, and space in the tent is limited. Instead of the Corkscrew, I'm going to put an Orion F1 in the free airpot, but that will be a separate report. I repotted the Northern Lights, Banana, and NYC Sour in 11.9-liter air pots. Oh, I almost forgot the apple fritters. They don't look good either. Maybe they're burnt. I'll decide tomorrow or the day after whether to replace them too. I forgot to take pictures of them. I'll send them later. The apple fritter doesn't look good, so I planted it in a small pot. I think it's burnt, so I'll remove it from the report along with the corkscrew. Replacements are already on their way. See separate reports. All plants were treated with TA Silica spray yesterday during the dark phase, which is why there are gray spots on the leaves. When repotting, I noticed that I was probably too careful with the water this time, as only the upper third was really moist. If the plants don't really grow or regenerate within a few days, I will probably replace all the damaged ones. Thank you for your attention and your time. I am always grateful for tips and advice! ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ€

Kushycat Hey, as you can see, there have been some developments. The little ones have recovered well from the incident with the lamp. The lamp is now hanging about 30 cm above them at 25% power. The issue with the app (the lamp does not turn off when it should and runs 24/7) has occurred twice more, but everything seems to be fine now. I turn on the fan 30 cm every now and then for stem training. I'm really happy and you can see that they are now really growing fast. I'll probably increase the lamp's power a little more in the next few days and then flowering should start soon. The Apple Fritter and Corkscrew didn't die after all, but as you can see, they've become little mutants, perhaps because of the accident with the light. Nevertheless, they've recovered a bit, and I've decided to let them live because they're as weird as I am and let them go their own way until the end! 16.01.2025 I ordered 1 liter of Calmag because I am now almost certain that there is a deficiency. Growth is still quite good, but there is room for improvement. I am not yet entirely sure how much light intensity is appropriate and when, and I do not want to damage it by using too much. Kushy out Praise the Tucan!

Kushycat The pre-flowering stage is visible, otherwise I have started with CalMag. It showed up much faster than expected, or rather, I had tried to regulate it elsewhere with silica and algae lime. Next week should be the first week of flowering indoors, and I will probably start with flowering fertilizer in the next few days and put the AKF with fan into operation. Meanwhile, it's like the tropics in the tent, and I can't have that during flowering. The NYC is curling its leaves a bit, but I don't think it's overfed; it's also causing me some concern.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ The FatBanana and Northern Lights are doing really well!๐Ÿ€ Surprisingly, the AppleFritter and Corkscrew with the light damage have done quite well in the last few days, and I'm taking them with me to the end of my first trip.๐ŸŒž They are now getting more light because I have increased the lamps to 30% power. I will now increase the power between 5-10 every 4-7 days so that there are thick flowers at the end.

Kushycat So, we are officially in the cannabis flowering season with all candidates involved. I think I overdid it a bit with the fertilizer on the NYC and forgot that the soil I used was already rich. I cleaned the inside of the tent and wiped the water off the walls because the humidity was at 85%. I bought a small dehumidifier and think I can use it to bring the humidity down to around 50%. Did a bit of LST and removed some leaves on the NYC. Lamp output will be at 40% from tomorrow. Now trying to get up to at least 60% more quicklyโ€”if in doubt, with more distance. After all, I want plump flowers. Gave them flowering fertilizer for the first time, and the Apple Fritter seems to be struggling. Corkscrew is a mini plant but vital and sweet.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ The temperature at night is too low for me. I'll turn the heating up a little higher at night and put some foam under the tent's tarpaulin for insulation. I hope this will keep the temperature around 20 degrees. As always, feel free to comment with anything you notice or any tips. ๐ŸŒž

Kushycat commented5d ago
@MonyetDiablero, Yys, that's true, but unfortunately some plants show calcium deficiency under LED lighting (or pH lockout) despite the addition of Ca/Mg. I used rainwater specifically because I knew that my tap water had too high a pH. Strangely enough, it's not showing up in all of them yet, and I hope I can get it under control.

Kushycat commented1mo ago
@India_Calcoen, oh yes, it's so nice to be able to watch them grow. I open the tent several times a day and imagine that I can see a little progress each time. I can definitely recommend a water cooler for the Mighty. It makes it even more fun to use and tastes even better in my opinion.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿš€
India_Calcoen
India_Calcoen commented1mo ago
@Kushycat, the water cooler is a good idea ๐Ÿ‘ I think I will try that. Some strains are a bit harsh on my throat, but I like their physical effects (like MilkyWay F1).
Kushycat
Kushycat commented1mo ago
@India_Calcoen, That's also why I put this together. It was just too harsh on my lungs without the bong to cool it down. I also bought a diffuser that makes it even better, and the vapor is more abundant and stronger, which always looks nice and smells good in the house. I also grew F1 from RQS in the summer, and they taste fantastic with it, but they have a really strong effect. I've seen some new ones with banana flavor that I definitely have to grow. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜น

Hopefully your plants recover from the lighting ๐Ÿ™ Itโ€™s hard to decide what the intensity of the lighting should be and the distance to the plant. New parameters that werenโ€™t important while growing outside. I hope you have a steep learning curve for this indoor grow, just like me ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜…

Kushycat commented1mo ago
@India_Calcoen, Yes, that's right, it warms the heart! I think they coped quite well with the move, and today I noticed some growth again. The banana plant in particular is doing well, which makes me really happy. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

@India_Calcoen, i have found that it is difficult to really assess them under artificial light. When I take them out of the tent, they look good now, except for the NYC, which has slightly curled leaves, and the two mutants with light damage. I'm afraid I'll have to dispose of the AppleFritter after all.
