Erstmal

Blast It seems to be going pretty well. But I'm playing around with the distance to the lamp. The leaves look a bit droopy. I'm thinking about transplanting to a larger pot.

Blast On 29.01, I transplanted them into bigger pots. I set the light cycle to 20 hours on, 4 hours off. Increased the lamp to 50%. The distance to the lamp is 40 cm. During the transplant, I found that the soil at the bottom near the roots was very wet, I probably overwatered the plants. After the transplant, I watered them again. I'm transplanting into BioBizz light mix + perlite.

Blast 📅 05.02 — Vega / first watering with nutrients Today I did the first watering with nutrients after transplanting. Conditions and parameters: Substrate: BioBizz Light·Mix Nutrient: Bio-Grow 0.5 ml/l Watering volume: ~400 ml per pot Light: 40 cm to the top, 50% power Light schedule: 20/4 Plant condition: The plants look healthy and compact. The leaves are smooth, rich green, with no spots or signs of deficiencies. The internodes are short, and the tops are actively developing. The next watering is planned with plain water, then a gradual observation of the reaction before possibly increasing the dosage. 📅 06.02 — Transplanting into final pots Today, the plants were transplanted into final fabric pots with a volume of 15 l. Watering with regular water 1l/pot. The reason for the transplant is that the root system has fully occupied the previous containers, and the roots have come out of the drainage holes.

Blast 07.02 Tried to do LST. The main stem is already quite thick, didn't really bend it much. I'll see how it reacts. 12.02 — Performing LST (with clips)

Blast Date: 16.02 Solution: Bio-Grow → 8 ml / 5 l, Bio-Bloom → 5 ml / 5 l, Top-Max → 5 ml / 5 l Actual consumption: Fat Bastard → 2 l, Northern Lights → 2.5 l 🌸 Development phase First pistils detected. 📅 Report — 19.02 Day of life: ~31 Stage: Pre-flower / active stretch Light: FC-1500 EVO — 70% 🌿 SCROG: Net installed, branches spread across the squares. The top bush is actively stretching and already forming a nice canopy; the lower one is denser and requires further distribution in the next 3–5 days. LST. 💧 Watering: 4 l of solution (Grow 8 ml / Bloom 6 ml / Top-Max 5 ml), about ~2 l per plant, without drainage.

Blast 26.02 Bought CalMag BioBizz. Watered unexpectedly, after waking up with 500ml of CaMag solution 1ml per 1l of water. No drainage. 24.02 | Day ~36 | Pre-flower (stretch) | Light 70% Watered 5l: Bio-Grow 7ml, Bio-Bloom 10ml, Top-Max 5ml; pH 6.5, ~600 ppm, filtered water. Fat Bastard received 1.8–1.9l (drainage ~200ml), Northern Lights — 1.75l (normal drainage), trays drained. Fat Bastard shows interveinal chlorosis on the lower leaves (Mg deficiency), Northern Lights has a clean leaf, upper part slightly lighter. Plan: add CalMag 1ml/l.

Blast Date: 01.03 Day of life: 41 (6th week, auto) Substrate: BioBizz Light-Mix Phase: early–mid flowering Light: 70% 💧 Watering Input: Solution volume: 4.3 L pH: 6.5 PPM: 671 Drainage: Volume: 700 ml (~16%) pH: 6.8 PPM: 800 Did LST on the tops, leveled the tops by laying the Northern Lights top under the net to even them out. Removed some yellowing leaves, initially due to calcium and magnesium deficiency.

Blast Week 7-8: Mid-Flowering - Managing pH & Micro-deficiencies Description: The plants have entered the active flowering phase. Northern Lights and Fat Bastard are showing excellent bud growth, but I've encountered a problem on the leaves — rusty spots and interveinal chlorosis have appeared. I took measurements: the drainage pH turned out to be high (6.8), which caused calcium and magnesium lockout. Actions Taken: Light: Reduced the power to 80% to decrease light stress and metabolic load. Nutrients: Increased the Cal-Mag dosage to 1 ml/l. Correction: Lowered the input solution pH to 6.0 to disrupt the soil's alkaline buffer and bring the pH back into the 6.3–6.5 range. Climate: Temperature 23.8°C, humidity 59%, VPD 1.2 kPa — ideal conditions. Watering 09.03 Fertilizer Dosage per 1L Total for 6.5 liters BioBizz Cal-Mag 1.0 ml 6.5 ml Bio-Bloom 3.0 ml 19.5 ml Bio-Grow 1.0 ml 6.5 ml Top-Max 1.0 ml 6.5 ml pH (Input): 6.0 pH (Runoff): 6.8 EC (Input): 1250 (1.25 mS/cm) EC (Runoff): 1350 (1.35 mS/cm) Light Power: 80% Distance to light: 50-60 cm

Blast **Grow Report – 16.03 | Watering and Root Zone Adjustment** **Stage:** Flowering (~4 weeks) **Substrate:** BioBizz Light·Mix **Light:** Mars Hydro FC-1500 EVO – 70% power **Watering Goal:** Reduce accumulated EC and gradually stabilize pH in the root zone. # Solution Preparation **Total solution volume:** 8 liters ### Solution Composition (per 1 liter) * BioBizz Cal-Mag — 1.1 ml * Bio-Bloom — 2.5 ml * Bio-Grow — 0.7 ml * Top-Max — 1.0 ml ### Total for 8 liters | Component | Amount | | --------------- | ---------- | | BioBizz Cal-Mag | 8.8 ml | | Bio-Bloom | 20 ml | | Bio-Grow | 5.6 ml | | Top-Max | 8 ml | **Solution pH:** 5.6 **Solution EC:** 1020 µS --- # Watering ## Fat Bastard Watering volume: **4.5 liters** **Runoff:** | Parameter | Value | | -------- | -------- | | Volume | ~1 l | | pH | 6.9 | | EC | 1370 | **Analysis** * Substrate pH is still above the optimal range. * EC has decreased compared to previous measurements → salts are gradually being flushed out. * Symptoms on the leaves (rust spots) correspond to **Ca/Mg lockout**, caused by elevated pH. --- ## Northern Lights Watering volume: **3.5 liters** **Runoff:** | Parameter | Value | | -------- | -------- | | Volume | ~0.6 l | | pH | 6.9 | | EC | 1320 | **Analysis** * Readings are close to Fat Bastard. * EC is within the normal range for mid-flowering. * Visually, the plant has significantly recovered: leaves are bright green, and new spots are almost absent. --- # Overall Condition Assessment | Parameter | Rating | | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------- | | Root zone pH | slightly elevated | | EC | stabilizing | | Northern Lights Condition | good | | Fat Bastard Condition | recovering from Mg/Ca lockout | Light·Mix has weak buffering, so gradually lowering the solution pH to **5.6–5.8** is an effective strategy to bring the root zone back into the range of **6.3–6.6**.

Blast March 29 went by as a stage of fine-tuning after the recent flush. By this point, the substrate had already come out of the overwatering state, and the main task became not restoring the water balance, but working with the chemistry of the root zone — primarily with pH. An 8-liter solution was prepared with parameters of pH 6.0 and EC 1100. Despite the EC being slightly higher than the initially planned range, it remained in a safe zone after flushing, so the solution was used without additional correction, but with careful reduction of the watering volume. Each plant received about 1.3–1.6 liters with a light drainage of around 10%, without excessive runoff. After watering, the drainage readings were taken, which clearly showed the current state of the system. For Northern Lights, pH was 6.8 at EC 1100, which is close to the allowable upper limit, while Fat Bastard showed a more pronounced shift — pH 7.0 at the same EC 1100. At the same time, the EC level in both cases confirmed that there was no salt buildup, the nutrition remains balanced, and does not create overload. The main conclusion from the results is that the substrate continues to buffer the solution towards the alkaline side. Despite supplying the solution with pH 6.0, the root zone does not drop into the target range, especially for Fat Bastard. This indicates the need for increased corrective action, but without resorting to aggressive measures. Thus, the current stage can be characterized as stable in terms of nutrition, but requiring additional work with pH. The system is generally restored after the flush, and the final adjustment remains to be made — to lower the pH of the incoming solution to 5.8–5.9 in the next watering, to gently bring the root zone back into the optimal range of 6.3–6.5. After that, a transition to a fully stable mode is expected without the need for further corrective interventions.

Blast The last watering was on 09.04. I think in about 4 more days it will be time to cut. For now, I don't think it's worth watering; let them dry out.
