Guava

Hexahydrat666 Unfortunately, only one of the two seeds made it. Today I repotted, and the little plant went into a 12L pot with Light Mix, to which I added some algae lime, rock dust, and mycorrhiza. The lamp is running at 30%. For the first few days, I’ll keep the seedling under a clear pot to maintain humidity. I’ll set up the humidifier only when the plant is a bit bigger.

Hexahydrat666 Transplanting has really taken a toll on the little one. Looks like a nutrient burn to me. Actually, I've never had problems when I planted the plant in the Light Mix from Plagron after a week in the peat pot, but this is now the third time in a row that this has happened to me. Maybe I got a batch that was a bit too heavily pre-fertilized? For the next grow, I'll start with seedling soil and then transplant into the Light Mix later.

Hexahydrat666 After the signs of nutrient burn, I watered with osmosis water to flush out the nutrients in the upper part of the pot. It obviously did the little lady some good. She's still a bit small after three weeks, but otherwise, she has recovered well. Today, I gave her a little bit of fertilizer in a homeopathic dose for the first time. The light is running at 40%, and I've set the VPD to 1.2.

Hexahydrat666 Everything looks pretty good. I've increased the nutrient dosage again and I'm still considering whether to top the little lady or if I should try fiming. I've set the VPD to 1.4, the Infinity light is running at 60%, and the Lumii Black Bar turns on twice a day for a quarter of an hour each time.

Hexahydrat666 At the beginning of the week, I tried fiming for the first time and started with LST. Let's see how it all develops. So far, everything looks pretty good; the stretch has started, and the little lady has gained quite a bit of height.

Hexahydrat666 Somehow I messed up the fiming. Besides a few ragged leaves, it doesn't seem like much came of it. Everything else looks pretty good, and the flowering has begun. The little lady has stretched quite a bit and is now 52cm tall. Today, a few of the larger leaves were removed so that the lower buds get more light.

Hexahydrat666 Everything looks pretty good except for the yellow leaf tips. Even though I always adjusted the watering to a pH of 6.5, I measured 6.9 in the drain and believe that the yellow tips are caused by a pH lock. To lower the pH a bit, I will set the watering to 6.0 in the future.

Hexahydrat666 Since the lady is still showing signs of over-fertilization, there was only water with a pH of 6.2 during the last watering. The temperature is rising to 29°C, and if the fan can't keep the temperature below 30°C, I will dim the light to 50%.

Hexahydrat666 Temperatures straight out of hell 😤. With a room temperature of 30°C, it's tough to keep the temperature in the grow box under control. I've dimmed the lamp to 50%, and during the light phase, I keep the door of the box half open. The exhaust runs at about 400 cubic meters/hour. This way, I manage to keep the temperature in the box at room temperature. At night, there's hardly any cooling, and the desire for an air conditioner is growing stronger.

Hexahydrat666 Thank God the temperatures are back in the green zone. The lamp is running at 80%. The first trichomes are turning milky, but there are still no amber ones in sight. It will probably take a little longer until harvest.

Hexahydrat666 Everything is great. The trichomes are mostly milky, and here and there you can see a few amber ones. The smell is also promising, but I think the lady needs another week or two.

Hexahydrat666 This week we're harvesting. One last time with clear water, and then it's time for the lady to meet her end. The trichomes have matured incredibly fast over the week, and in some places, there are already about 30% amber ones visible.

Hexahydrat666 Finally harvest time! The attempt with the Fimming didn't go as planned. I must have done something wrong because aside from ruining the head bud, not much happened. The little plant has still developed well, the buds have taken on a great color, and the smell is just amazingly fruity-sweet.
