GROUNDED GENÉTICS!MY FIRST TIME GROWING

D4D3DHOMMIES We're in week 4-5 of the vegetative stage. We transplanted some plants into 7-liter pots earlier because they germinated later or earlier than usual. I forgot to water with Calmag and a high VPD, but that's all sorted now; I'm within the perfect VPD range. I compacted the soil a bit too much, but you learn from your mistakes! My plants are growing strong and healthy, with white roots quickly emerging from the pots (as a result of compacting the soil). I won't make these mistakes next time. I still have to transplant 4 Zwisher plants and a few more Chrome Drip and Sour. I'll do well with these, and I'll also keep track of the clones I've chosen! I've set up the space this way to make the most of it, since my light is powerful, but next week I'll make better use of the space by moving the other pots to another grow tent. This is just to save time and light! And for now, they're not very big. The biggest plant is a Sour Diesel from Humboldt Seeds. I've been using it for practice since I received it as a gift (for making clones). The other one is a Mac S1 x Rena Sherbet GB, which I tried using for LST + topping. These two are in a substrate with a mix of different guano, humus, Canna Coco, Top Crop, and Micro Boom. They're just for practicing and learning. They also use different fertilizers, specifically Boom Nutrients, applying a mix of different feeding schedules from their program, alternating them. The EC they recommend is sometimes too low for my liking, so I usually give them a slightly higher EC, but within their limits. NOTE: Both Sour Diesel and Mac are several weeks apart from the others.

D4D3DHOMMIES We're starting the week with a new space for my girls to express themselves as best as possible

D4D3DHOMMIES In places like where I live, it's easy to get mold, pests, or powdery mildew (the most common problem). Next week, my 30L adjustable dehumidifier and Spiderfarmer power strip are arriving to better control everything, along with other accessories like CO2, VPD, etc., to have maximum control over the grow at all times. Besides that, even though it's late, I'll add the Spiderfarmer supplemental lights for the recommended and maximum duration. We'll see how it goes; if not, I'll try the Migro lights. And I'll probably do a grow room next time with Migro lights—they're the best value for money. I'll keep you updated on the results with the UV lights. I've had to move twice; my plants are a bit stressed, but if you're careful, you'll never have a problem. Looking forward to seeing my girls in a few weeks!

D4D3DHOMMIES Entering week 7, preparing the plants for flowering. Some will probably need a little more time, so I might give them a bit more than a week of vegetative growth. And I'm also making my first clones! With great results!

D4D3DHOMMIES This week I finished the last clones, hoping to see some great phenotypes. I plan to keep the best ones, make a selection, and keep the best ones, then plant more to select the best and discard the rest. Next week, for flowering, I've raised my light to its maximum height (I don't use a filter inside the grow tent; I have the whole room under one filter) and to 50% power to give them a little extra boost these last few weeks and improve their growth. I love having the information on my phone to know what's happening with my babies at all times.

D4D3DHOMMIES I'm starting pre-flowering, letting it adapt and revegetate a bit. I would have liked to give it more, but I've learned my lesson for next time, maximizing my results. I'm waiting for some Under Canopy lights to try them out and I've been trying to finish the grow room. And I need to change this SCROG net; I didn't like it, you can't guide everything properly.
