dream grow

iirky 👋🌱✨ Hey everyone! This is my first legal grow and kind of a dream come true. I mixed my own soil using Bionova as a base, adding worm castings (Plagron), biochar, coco coir with trichoderma and vermiculite. This should be an ideal, fluffy mix for fast-growing autoflowers. At the start, I mixed a small amount of La Calavera powder and mycorrhiza (Symbivit Uni by Symbiom) into the soil mix. During veg, I dusted the surface with 1 tsp of insect frass (local brand Rostik). I am watering with filtered water that has been left to sit in a 25 L reservoir, with a few drops of Seachem Prime added. Once, I also added a bit of worm tea to the watering (local brand Mesiho zizali caj). On day 14, I did the first gentle foliar spray (distilled water with one drop of silica). I am now turning off the humidifier and raising the VPD to 0.95. Right now, I am also testing my DIY Arduino capacitive soil moisture sensor, version 2.0. After programming the calibration, it looks like it works pretty well.

iirky 👋🌱✨ Day 21 I started (day 16.) bending the Strawberry Gorilla and it’s responding quite nicely. Milky Way is super compact, for now I’m leaving her natural. One watering of 1L was done with a pinch of bacteria and worm tea (8 ml / 1 L). Second watering (after 3-4 days) was just water - increased to 1.9L Today I’m planning a foliar spray with kelp extract (Algavit by Symbiom) Light: 40% of 150W in 60x60cm box, 20/4 Photone app: 350-380 PPFD 23-24 DLI 23000-25000 LUX 5450-5500 Kelvin

iirky 👋🌱✨ Day 28 Both strains have shown their sex. No balls in sight :) Funny how MilkyWay threw out a second main cola all by itself and is keeping the side branches even without any LST (just leaf tucking) StrawberryGorilla showed sex a few days earlier than MW, which actually surprised me. I pushed today’s watering to tomorrow, gonna topdress before the feed and I’m already curious about the stretch :) * left: Milky Way F1 right: Strawberry Gorilla
