Break-up Cake AUTO 2x - beginner grow

bananomet Development looks healthy. Both got 200ml of water with a little bit more root juice on monday. They'll recieve another 200ml, when the substrate dries up a bit more (tomorrow morning). Still struggling with humidity, but managed to stabilize it around 50 %. The VPD is not ideal, but it's the best my careful ventilation schedule and the 12 year old humidifier running at 100 % power could do. 😂 No worries, I plan on buying the AC Infinity CLOUDFORGE T5 along with AC Infinity CONTROLLER 69 PRO in 14 days after paycheck day.👍 Lights are kept at 25 % of power @45cm height. These lights sadly don't have gradual power selector. Only on/off / 25 / 50 / 75 / 100%. However the difference between P600 and XS2000 is already noticeable. I've grown BigBang AUTO and Amnesia Haze AUTO prior under P600 light and was wondering why my early vegetation leaves curl and twist axially. I have Milky Way F1 in the neighboring tent under P600 and it already show signs of the same leaf curl. It's clearly caused by the light. Different light spectrum composure I guess? Light schedule 17/7. My plants wake up and go to sleep with me. I don't trust the cheap automation outlets and quality ones are almost non-existent on domestic market. Rather keep 17/7 entire grow, than let my appartment burn down. Update 05. 06.↓ Uploaded new set of photos. Rain arrived during the night and I guess my little babies heard it and grew some new leaves. Lower stems are a bit thin. I added a bit of silica today along with 200ml of water. Photos updated. Gotta say, the only overwhelming smell right now is the basil plant, which started blooming? 😭 I guess it's time to make pesto. The new lights are crazy man... Update 07. 06.↓ Uploaded new set of photos. They look better in person, gotta get a newer phone with a better camera. 😊 I gave each one 700ml of water this week. The pot was dry every other day. Managed to finally get RH up to 70 % with maximum effort on my part.

bananomet Now entering veg week number 2, so far so good I´d say. Some slight leaf discoloration from rapid growth. I´ll ramp up the watering tomorrow morning to about 400ml per plant and keep the adding root juice and silica until the end of this week. Root juice IMO is the best bottle out of the entire BioBizz line. This stuff really works. Unlike the BioGrow, which I don´t have good things to say about at all. I will be substituting it with FishMix for this grow. It´s too early to add N, thanks to the allmix bottom layer nutrient buffer. Instead of AC Infinity T5 humidifier and the 69 Pro controller, I decided to invest in a 14k BTU AC mobile unit from the wonderful German company Klarstein. Should arrive either at the end of the week or early next week. Hoping to stabilize daytime room temps to 26C and with that stabilize the fluctuating VPD as well. Not to mention the QOL improvement to myself. But you know, I am doing it mainly for the plants. 😊 Update follows in a few days. Update 10. 06. Time flies, it´s already wednesday and the growth is steady. Watered with 400ml of water, since the soil was almost completely dry. New photos uploaded. I´ve discovered "professional" photo mode on my phone, so I should be able to give you better - non AI processed - quality photos. Update 13. 06. Height of the plants doubled since wednesday. Their trunk is getting pretty thick considering it´s only end of the 2nd veg week. I´ll start with LST tonight, before they go to sleep. Watered with 800ml of water, but it still looks like they could have taken more than that. Let´s be conservative for now though. Lights bumped up to 50 % of power and sit 55cm above the canopy. New photos uploaded. AC unit arrived yesterday and I´ll set it up today. Starting tomorrow, plants should recieve stable 26°C climate for the rest of their lives. 👍 Edit 14. 06. I went to turn off the lights last night and realized, that the light above the right plant has been accidentally running at 75 % of power. As a result, the pots dried up quickly. Woke up today to bone dry pots and had to water again. This time each got 1 liter of water. I also added a little bit of activera to help them recover from stress. Right plant took it nicely and grew 1cm more than the plant on the left. Prepared them for LST in the morning with stakes. Cut off 2 fan leaves from each plant that were touching the mois soil as a result. Switched the stakes for the adjustable bendies I got from Kaufland store (sort of functions like Amazon) in the afternoon. Trying them out for the first time and I like them more than ropes and wires with clips. Now I will let them recover for a few days from all the stress. AC wasn´t needed today, because temps outside are like 15°C with rain. Got a nice 21°C temp today in the lung room and 25°C in the tent. New photos and a video uploaded. Link for the bendies: https://www.kaufland.cz/product/551922832/ This concludes veg week number 2. I´ll see you next week.✋

bananomet I would like to warn everyone about the bendies. The edges are very sharp. I'll have to sand them down. Unfortunately, the plants were superficially cut as they grew. I readjusted with bigger ones. It appears as though they got a bit stressed from all that. Water consumption slowed down and the pots are still quite heavy. Mainly on the bottom of the pot where allmix is. I haven't watered them since sunday. Growth is also slow. Gonna have to let them recover for now. Apical dominance has not been fully broken, but I don't want to stress the plants even more. Think I'll go with the classic wire/clip method next time. Worked well in my last 2 grows. Edit 17. 06. Alright. Looks like they recovered since sunday. I have not watered them yet though. The soil on the bottom is still a bit moist. They´ll recieve some water tomorrow. Have to be more gentle with them right now. New photos uploaded. Edit 18. 06. They woke up vigorously today. Apical dominance broken. Watered with 800ml of plain water as the pots were already light and the top soil was turning into dust. Klarstein AC is putting some work. From 31C in the room to 26C within an hour. Best investment I´ve made NGL. Readjusted the bendies on the main branch. Gonna hold on with LST on other branches for now. Took off a few lowest fan leaves, because they were dipping into the soil. New photos uploaded. Detailed photo of damage on the main branch the bendie has made.
