Critical Mass & Black Rainbow SoG

RccBrhl Started quite nice with Cuts rooted in a aeroponic / rainforrest propagator. Was still building the setup while they develop roots in a regular 3x3" Tent. I added just a bit Rhizotonic and leveled the water. We have hard water at 7.5 and currently no RO System, but I might add one later.

RccBrhl Was pretty late on transplant but managed everything with like 3 days delay because "build a grow room" apparently takes more time then initially thought. Of course I was punished by "some" deficiencies but at least there were a lot of roots. In the next days plants really kept holding up.

RccBrhl Plants are looking quite good in spite of the bad start. I underestimated my new Lumatek Lights a bit and initially didnt measure my PAR. Thankfully there are apps like photone. I got some burning on the 2 Black Rainbow in the mid and increased the light distance after properly measuring. Black Rainbows were given me with the advice to manage CalMag so I added just a tat CalNag Pro, but to both strains to keep it simple at first. Also Im aware or lets say worried that since I had to use Royal Mix through some circumstances, and that its a quite harsh ec for mid veg. Black Rainbows especially are a bit angry.

RccBrhl So for this week plants really pushed ahead. I took 2-3 lower branches on each plant and Im planning to end at least with 7-8 Bud Branches in the end. I will take some here and there in FW2 I guess. Speaking of Flower, I think its time, I give them an additional week while I fix some "light holes" in the room to reduce light induced stress for the ladies in flower. All in all Veg was successful so far since I managed to get rid of deficiencies and such. I just gave them pH Water at 6.5 and let the royal mix do the magic for now. After 5 Weeks Im also in love with my Growbase Lite Controller fully managing Air / Climate through and Light through ethernet. Even that alone is just such a remedy. I couldnt be happier for now. Lets prepare for Flower I guess.

RccBrhl Took again some of the lower branches for minmax and gave just a little calmag again and enzymes every 3 waterings. I think we're ready for flower and in the next days, I will switch to flower photoperiod. All in all this was quite a healthy veg and Im really looking forward.💪

RccBrhl Alright guys it's sexy time! Plants were gving me clear signs already, that their body says let's go. But my heart was saying no. (Sorry xD) Nonetheless we managed to reach flower with some nice healthy plants. Still only giving mostly pH regulated Water and Pure Zyme every 3 - 4 waterings.

RccBrhl Ok so we clearly entered Flower territory and the girls made again a little stretch as expected. Given the brighter greens the Royal Mix seems also to weaken a bit, again as expected after 6 - 7 weeks. All in all I couldnt be happier right now. For the next week I prepare the first real feeding and will sorroughly watch out for deficiencies on leaves etc. to be able to make a good shot at that. I bought some nice pump and a "Watering Stick", like a handheld watering / shower head and my back starts to feel better now. Through the low ceiling it made no sense to put them on proper grow tables, which I normally prefer. So up till now, watering was bit of a hassle.
