ConcernedWizard Welcome to my first diary! I've only grown one plant before, found it to be fun and decided to take it more seriously this time. When looking through the available seeds, Nevilles Rose caught my eye but alas! There is barely a few mentions of this strain on the internet, therefore I ended up starting this diary (if you have any experience with this strain, I'd be really happy to hear about it)! Started germinating on the 12th and on the 17th this little fella poked out of the soil! - I thought running the big fan/carbon filter would be a waste now so I'm only using a little clip fan for now. Blowing not directly onto the seedling but onto the wall behind it to cause micromovements - Using rain water, watering every other day in ~10cm radius - Lights set around 45cm above the plant, getting around 340 PPFD - Lights not on a timer yet, having them turned on 16-20 hours a day - Lower humidity, usually around 30%. Used humidity dome for the first two or so days. Placed a tray with water in the tent in hopes to get some better numbers - Getting between 24-27 °C

ConcernedWizard Safe and steady! I added a layer of soil as the stem got really thin and lengthy before I lowered my lights the last time. I hope it will stabilize the plant a little and maybe makes it shoot some extra roots as well. Got a Biobizz Trypack prepared, not sure when exactly to start using it, I think it's too soon now. Also planning on LST in a week or two.

ConcernedWizard Another week, another update! She's been doing pretty well, watered every two days while raising up the dosage to around 700ml now. I wasn't too sure about when to start with fertilizing with Biobizz Grow but I settled on postponing it and doing some LST first to hopefully make her shoot up more "main" branches. I don't want to risk stressing her out with a fertiliser as she seemed to be getting enough nutrients from the soil - I'll see how she reacts to the training first. LST: Removed the lowest leaf that would touch the soil after this training session as it would't be getting light anyway and would only get damp while getting watered. Bended her, secured with one stake and a few hours later she already started perking back up:) Plans: 1) Maybe removing the upper leaf which is covering the bended stem to get more light to the lower nodes. I'll wait a day or two to see how things go. 2) Maybe fertilising with Biobizz Grow. Judging by internet discussions, I'll be using quarter-to-half of what is recommended by the manufacturer. 3) She's starting to give off a scent so I'll be turning on the carbon filter/fan during the coming days. That's all the updates I can think of right now. See you next week folks!

ConcernedWizard Hello! Gotta say I'm happy with how she's doing. Been fertilising with Bio-Grow since the start of this week whilst trying to be careful with the dosage. She's also been quite thirsty - I'm currently watering her with about 1,5 liters of rain water every two days. Also did some LST, spreading her canopy more to the sides and removing some bigger leaves that were blocking the light. Not sure about how to approach removal of more leaves since it's getting a bit... crowded.

I checked just no and I think I'm seeing the first white hairs, preflowers, emerging. Do I start adding Biobizz Bio-Bloom with the next watering? Or would you wait a bit more?

Congratulations, it’s an exciting time! You saw correctly: these small white filaments which appear at the nodes of the branches are indeed pistils, which confirms that your plant is entering its pre-flowering phase. ​Here is how I would handle the introduction of Bio-Bloom: ​1. The timing for Bio-Bloom No immediate emergency: Even if the first white hairs are there, the plant will now begin its "stretch" (accelerated growth). During this period, it still has a great need for Nitrogen (N), contained mainly in Bio-Grow. ​My recommendation: You can start adding half a dose of Bio-Bloom during the next watering, but don't stop the Bio-Grow right away. The plant needs both to build its flowering structure. ​2. The gradual transition ​Mixture: The ideal with Biobizz is to make a gentle transition. Continue the Bio-Grow at normal dose and introduce the Bio-Bloom at approximately 1ml/L. ​Observation: Watch how the plant reacts. If the green of the leaves remains very deep like on your other growing plants, the dosage is good. ​3. Why wait a bit for the full dose? ​Bio-Bloom is rich in Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K), essential for making the buds swell. ​Currently, your plant is still “making” stems and leaves. Too much Phosphorus too early can sometimes block the absorption of other nutrients necessary for stretch. ​In summary: Yes, start adding it very lightly (1ml/L) at the next watering to prepare the ground, but keep your growth fertilizer as the main base for another good week .have nice day

ConcernedWizard As soon as I posted the last update white pistils started showing up - we're officially entering the flowering stage! She's stretching up nicely and all but I have a confession to make - I had to leave for three days so I moved her from the tent and in front of a window so she had at least some light during that time. That might have contributed to much bigger stretch than I anticipated. I'm happy with the spread, she pretty much fills the whole 60x60cm tent by herself now. Started adding BioBizz Bio-Bloom into her water as well.

ConcernedWizard Ran into a slight problem with lower leaves discoloring - might not be that big of an issue since bud sites are developing rapidly and the energy simply has to be drained from somewhere. Either way I'm looking into fixing this issue. Did a quick research and there are two possible culprits: 1) Overwatering. I'll try to be careful and wait an extra day or two before the next watering, root rot would be much worse than "2)" 2) Nitrogen defficiency - I'll introduce a bigger nitrogen dosage with the help of BioGrow the next watering

ConcernedWizard Last weeks troubles are still quite visible but the yellowing has been slowing down. I'm still a bit worried though. This week I only added BioGrow to the water to supplement nitrogen, then I continued with plain water, much less than before - this way I aim to avoid worsening possible root rot. I still have no way of checking pH. Suggestions are welcome! Otherwise, see you next week folks 🙏

@TrichoWitchka, Já se hodně inspiruju u YT kanálu Basementganja, dělá suprový videodeníky, zkouší různý věci a popisuje přesně to, co dělá:) Třeba tady na videu udělal prakticky přesně to, co jsem udělal i já (čas 10:30-11:30 a 11:50-12:00): www.youtube.com/watch
