Genesis

kintrala Starting the long journey, with a lot of expectation and off course excitement. the first 4 days in veggie, I need to put some cups with water, because the Humidity go under 40%. dont see i made relly bad and the water drop to the floor and under the lua pot.

kintrala So Big difference. Sira continue growing really good and I start noticing she is compact in the other side is Lua

kintrala starting to think Lua is a really tiny plant Sira grow really fast and lua too, but in a mini way.

kintrala Sira continue very good. and start flowering Lua continue growing but like always in a small scale

kintrala Week 5: Flowering - The Lockout Crisis Timeline: Feb 19 – Feb 25 Stage: Flowering (Week 2 of Bloom) Description: This week the garden hit a major roadblock. While the flowering stretch was in full swing, Sira began showing signs of severe nutritional stress. The Incident: Following a double-feeding error on Day 32 (F7) and Day 33 (F8), where I applied full-strength nutrients (Terra Bloom) on consecutive days, the substrate reached a saturation point. The lack of an intermediate "Water-only" irrigation led to an immediate salt buildup in the medium. The Diagnosis (Day 34 / F9): On Feb 24 (Day 34 / F9), I officially diagnosed a nutrient lockout caused by salt accumulation. The first photos of this day clearly show the onset of interveinal chlorosis. The leaves are losing their deep green color between the veins, a signal that the roots are unable to uptake microelements due to the high EC levels in the root zone. Immediate Action: I am stopping all salt-based fertilizers immediately. The focus now is to flush the excess minerals using pH-stabilized water and Enzymes (Pure Zym) to restore balance to the rhizosphere. Key Milestones: Feb 24 (F9): Visible chlorosis confirmed via photography. Root Cause: Successive "Water+" cycles without flushing. Observation: Despite the leaf yellowing, bud sites are still developing, but at a slower pace.

kintrala Week 6: The Struggle for Balance (Feb 26 – Mar 04) Stage: Flowering (Sira) / Stunted Vegetative (Lua) Description: A week of high contrast and trial-and-error management. While Sira is pushing through her flowering stage despite the lockout, her sister Lua remains completely stalled. Sira's Status (The Recovery Attempt): Following the salt lockout diagnosis on Day 34, I attempted to stabilize the rhizosphere. However, on Feb 28, I mistakenly applied one last full dose of Terra Bloom, fearing the yellowing might be a deficiency. This exacerbated the lockout, leading to visible tip burn and worsening chlorosis by March 2nd. On March 4th, I initiated an emergency "Pure Water Reset." Sira's watering volume is set at 350-400 ml to ensure enough runoff to clear the salts without over-saturating the medium. Lua's Status (The Stagnant Growth): Lua is still severely stunted. She hasn't transitioned to bloom and shows no vertical growth. To avoid root rot in a plant that isn't transpiring much, I have strictly limited her watering to 200-250 ml. Her diet consists only of Pure Zym and Power Roots, focusing entirely on root health to see if she can still be "unlocked." Summary of Actions: Sira Irrigation: 350-400 ml (Transitioning from full salts to emergency flushing). Lua Irrigation: 200-250 ml (Enzymes and Roots only, strictly controlled volume). Environment: Light cycle maintained at 18/6. Temperature and humidity are stable, but the internal chemistry of the plants is the main challenge. Observation: Sira's buds are gaining frost and size, but the fan leaves are significantly pale. Lua remains a "bonsai" specimen, healthy in color but frozen in time.

kintrala Week 7: Increasing Volume & Nutrient Boost (Mar 05 – Mar 11) Watering and Nutrition Update: This week marked a significant shift in my irrigation strategy. Starting on March 7th (Day 45), I increased Sira’s watering volume to 800 ml. The previous 350-400 ml were no longer sufficient for her size and the demands of mid-flowering in an 11L (3gal) pot. This increased volume ensures the entire root zone stays hydrated and helps prevent localized salt accumulation. The Sensation Debut: I introduced Green Sensation at full manufacturer’s dosage (1ml/L) on March 7th and March 11th. After the previous chlorosis issues, I wanted to provide a powerful P-K boost to maximize bud development. Strategic Shift: On March 10th, after analyzing the plant's response, I officially decided to implement a 50% Nutrient Rule for all subsequent feedings. While the full dose of Sensation was used this week, the plan moving forward is to dial back the intensity to maintain long-term health.

kintrala Week 8: Sira’s Precision & Lua’s Breakthrough (Mar 12 – Mar 18) Stage: Flowering (Sira: W5 Bloom / Lua: W1 Bloom) The Major Headline: Lua has Flowered! The most unexpected news of the week is that on March 12th, Lua finally showed her first distinct pistils. Despite being severely stunted, her biological clock has triggered the flowering phase. This is a massive breakthrough. She is still small and shows chlorosis, but the reproductive cycle has begun. Lua’s New Strategy: Now that she is officially in Week 1 of Bloom (as of Mar 12), I must adapt her feeding. We are stopping the strict 'Water+Enzymes' diet. She received her first very light dose (25% strength) of Terra Bloom this week within her strictly controlled 250ml volume, always accompanied by Pure Zym and Power Roots. Sira’s Status (W5 Bloom): Sira continues on her precise 50% Nutrient Rule schedule (alternating 800ml of full coctel vs. 800ml water+zym+roots). The old chlorosis from February has completely stabilized, and her buds are putting on significant weight and resin. The garden is now a two-plant race to the finish line, each with its own timeline.
