Miketama Happy 4/20 everyone! Thereโs no better day to start a new ?!โโโโโโโโโโ๐ฑ๐
Iโm happy to introduce my diary, sponsored by Royal Queen Seeds, to whom Iโd like to express my heartfelt thanks:
Not only for providing me with incredibly useful accessories, but simply for the commitment they put into growing this community. Their blog is very rich and I learned all the basics from it ๐๐ป
Tons of discount codes, free seeds with every purchase, and perfect seed packaging with each one individually sealed, making storage very convenient.โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
The customer service has always been available and in these 2 years of growing Iโve had an almost 100% germination rate.

Miketama Day46 Update
โThe difference between the organic super soil plant and the mineral-fed one is night and day. The organic plant has skyrocketed to 1 meter in height, while the mineral one has stayed incredibly compact with very little branching. I might try other fertilizers in the future, but for now, my absolute favorite approach is the combination of Biotabs, bat guano, RQS mycorrhiza, and worm humus.
โThe only downside to this organic setup is that the roots colonize the 11-liter pot so fast that it caused slight root asphyxiation, which showed up on the plant as an iron deficiency. To fix this, I decided to give the roots more room to explore. I filled a fabric pot with a couple of liters of soil mixed with a few tablespoons of bat guano and placed the Purple Lemonade pot inside it, hoping the roots will grow through into the new substrate. I also topped off the upper part of the container, bringing the total volume to about 14โ15 liters of soil.
โAs for the mineral plant, itโs getting its second Royal Queen Seeds Easy Bloom tablet in the next day, though I don't have very high hopes for it. ๐
@James, Thank you so much for your support! Unfortunately, I'm not writing down many details, but as soon as I can, I'll update the diary properly! Proud to be part of the RQS family!๐๐ฆ
@MonyetDiablero, Thanks bro! The organic one is absolutely crushing it, while the mineral one stayed pretty stunted. Iโm hoping she stretches out and gets a better shape once flowering kicks in. Thanks for stopping by!"
