Glitter Bomb - Krumme Gurken Stecklinge

Limez The little ones have been in the tent for about 1-2 days now, at 20% light output (~50W) with a distance of 50-60cm. The 3 that I will keep, I planted directly in the 20L final pot because I can now estimate the pots and the weight relatively well. Tomorrow I will fill the pots all the way up, unfortunately, I ran out of soil. When potting, I sprinkled the easy plugs all around with mycorrhiza to promote root growth and plant health. A humidifier or dehumidifier will be added in the coming days, but I first need new batteries for my hygrometer so that everything fits. The next update will be in a week. I will top them then to fill the entire tent and the two nets with a SCROG. Best, Limez

Limez Hello, growth & color are very good. I've poured about 200ml in a circle around the stem to promote root growth outward. The temperature here is a constant 22-23°C since I'm growing in the room. The roots are also very happy with the underfloor heating. Humidity is at 55-60% thanks to the humidifier, which leads to a VPD of 0.7-0.9, so pretty good for the current stage of the plants. The light is still at 20% (50W) and 50cm distance from leaf to lamp. I'm watering with lukewarm water. I will top in about 1-2 weeks if the growth continues like this, as I want to fill the entire tent with 3 plants and SCROG. Later, I'll also add 1-2 AC Infinity S16 Ionbeams to provide side lighting. It can't hurt, and I'll take the extra 40-80W of power too. I'll start fertilizing in 1-2 weeks with Greenhouse BioGrow according to the schedule. That's it for now, see you next week. Limez

Limez Hello :) As you can see, quite a bit has happened in the last week or rather the 9 days since the last update. I've pulled the stems outward so that the lower shoots get more light and the plants don't just grow straight up. I will top all 3 tomorrow or the day after to fill the tent nicely. I'm currently watering about 400-500ml every 2-3 days in an expanding circle around the stem, so the roots are drawn outwards by the water and spread further. The lamp is running at 25%, so just under 66W, with about 30-40cm distance. After topping, I will continue with LST. I might top again, but I need to wait and see how the plants develop first. Cheers and see you next week! Limez

Limez Hello, welcome back to the update :) Yesterday/the day before, I topped and then wove the shoots into the net. I fertilized 3 days ago with 3g/L substrate. So far, I’m very satisfied with the grow and hope it continues like this. This week, I will continue with LST, meaning I will keep working the shoots into the net. I might top again, but I’ll depend that on the further growth progress.

Limez Hello everyone. Right now, things are going pretty well, except for the 2 branches that broke off while I was tying them down :( I tried my best with tape, but it might be that they won't survive. The values in the tent are TOP, so I really can't complain. Unfortunately, a few fungus gnats are visiting, and I might have to intervene again with SF nematodes. There aren't many visible yet (~10-15 on the yellow sticky traps), but that can escalate quickly. If the growth continues like this, I might start the flowering phase in a week. Honestly, I don't know where else to put the branches, as I'm running out of space. Currently, the middle branches are still getting time to catch up, and I need to give the two injured ones time to heal. The light is running at 120W ≙ 45% at a distance of 30cm. I should also apply GHF BioBloom during the next watering this week. I could possibly take a bit more time since the fertilization with BioGrow was not long ago. Let's see how long I keep them in the veg stage... It's getting exciting!

Limez Hey, I did some LST and HST again :) I topped in 1-2 spots to better control the growth. Otherwise, I'm trying to fill all the spaces. There's not much room left, but I'll give her another 2-3 days to recover, then it's off to flowering. Cheers

Limez Flowering started on 03/29, as the light was switched to 12/12. The stretch is underway, and the 3 love the light. I'm currently at about 550-600 PPFD, at 70% power which corresponds to 185W. I removed some sun sails that were covering the small shoots. BioBloom has been given, and the tap water was adjusted with Epsom salt. I haven't found any more fungus gnats. The side lighting and Calmag are coming the day after tomorrow, so everything will be even better equipped.

Limez everything's great, they're growing happily :)

Limez Dude, we're at BT17 and the stretch is in full swing and the flowering is already starting. But I don't see any real height growth anymore, I think that's about it. The 3 are getting 3.5L of calmag adjusted tap water every 2 days (105mg cal/ 50mg Mg). The light is blasting at the tips with just under 800PPFD and down at the bottom it's about 600PPFD. The side lighting is running at maximum level, which adds another 40W extra. On Sunday it's BT21, that's when we'll defoliate. I think that way the light from the side will hit the lower buds really well and it will turn out great. Cheers

Limez The day before yesterday was BT 21 and we were diligently defoliating. Finally, light is coming down again and the air can circulate cleanly. The side lighting is doing its job and I barely have a bud that isn't getting light. I have fungus gnats in the tent again, nematodes are coming the day after tomorrow. Then hopefully the 3 will get the proper juice again. We're now at BT 23-24; the cut will be ready in 60 days, so the anticipation is rising. Cheers Light is at 1200 PPFD in the center, down and at the edge at just under 600.
