Arturok_320 I’d like to start by saying that this is my second time growing. I occasionally grow other types of plants—ornamental, indoor, some flowers, clovers, and a few shrubs. About a year ago, I started studying all of this, reading and watching a lot of material. First, I studied the rhizosphere and beneficial bacteria for composting. I made my own homemade compost using some KNF (Korean Natural Farming) inputs and certain bacteria sourced from China, such as Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus megaterium. I also used yeast and forest soil lightly fermented with LAB (Lactic Acid Bacteria), which I made myself, along with molasses, eggshells, coffee grounds, and vegetable scraps. ​I chose Plagron Light Mix because I wanted to maintain the highest level of control possible. During the first week, I kept the plant under a bottle at night so it wouldn't suffer from the lack of ambient humidity, which was at 0%, accompanied by a cold towel to drop the temperature. After the first week, it was placed under a shade cloth at 28°C without ventilation. I’ve applied some nighttime foliar sprays with Ecklonia maxima, aloe vera, or seaweed extract (NPK 2-7-18); the potassium at this stage helps keep the stomata open throughout the night. I also mounded soil around the stem (aporque) and gave it a touch of Ecklonia maxima to signal the plant to rapidly develop roots in the newly buried section of the stem. ​I watered the pot with 200 ml for the first four days, gradually increasing until reaching the 500 ml I gave it today. Currently, the plant is 8 cm tall and appears to show 4 nodes, though I'm not entirely sure how to identify them correctly. I will likely begin LST (Low Stress Training) tomorrow. I am combining natural sunlight with supplemental bulb lighting. I use four 13W 6500K bulbs from 7:00 AM until approximately 12:00 PM, providing 40k lux. From then until 6:00 PM, the plant receives natural sunlight under a shade cloth at 60k lux. Finally, I continue with the same bulb setup until 1:00 AM I have been using mycorrhizae regularly since day one, and Trichoderma since day seven. When I performed the mounding (aporque), I applied Trichoderma directly to the stem to protect it from pathogens and fungi. I call this "test" coz I'm going to use some things like brassinolide, I use it before on another plants, this is like fuel, I have an special amino acid powder (Aspartic acid, Cystine, alanine, glutamic acid, glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, lysine, methionine, Phenylalanine, proline, serine, Threonine, tyrosine, Valine, arginine, Tryptophan. Total amino acids 25-30%, sulfur 15-18%, copper 0.6%, iron 3.8%, zinc 2.5%, manganese 1.1%, boron 1.1%, magnesium 1.6%, molybdenum cobalt selenium 0.03%. pH value (1% aqueous solution): 5-5.
