Dutch Passion VS Mistery Auto Setup 🇦🇷

topolod Week 1: All of them emerged by the third day. They quickly developed their cotyledons, and by the end of the first week they already had their first two nodes. They haven't shown any signs of excesses or deficiencies. The drainage seems to be optimal for winter conditions. Watering is done approximately every 2–3 days, using only 2.25 liters for all 6 plants. I don't know their actual height, since I added soil up to the cotyledons to encourage root development and take advantage of the entire stem structure in the future. A great start to the vegetative stage! pd: also my cat literally got out one plant from the pot lol and i put her back so we will see what happens next (its 1st bot left)

topolod *08/05*Week 2:*day 1: They have already reached 4–5 nodes and show a tendency to grow wide rather than tall. The first irrigations with nutrients have gone smoothly, and they display a spectacular shade of green. They stand at around 5–6 cm tall from the cotyledons, and their structure is surprisingly compact. The three unknown strains (NN) are the plants located in the upper middle, lower left, and lower right positions. One of the NN plants has matched the pace of the most vigorous Critical, both in stem thickness and node development. In terms of foliage, its fan leaves are noticeably larger and broader than those of the others. The remaining plants continue to develop at a fairly similar rate, maintaining a balanced structure and healthy appearance—except, of course, for the cat's favorite, which is still slightly behind the rest after its unexpected setback. The one that was dug up by the cat resumed growing the following day. It appeared to pause for about two days, likely while repairing its root system, but then continued developing normally and producing new leaves. So far, the setup seems to be optimal, as they haven't shown any signs of nutrient excesses, deficiencies, or other stress.

topolod Week 3: day 1: They continue progressing at a good pace. They've doubled their tiny stature, going from around 6 cm to 12 cm in height. The lateral branches are developing favorably, and the plants maintain a uniform structure with around 7 nodes each, except for the one that was attacked by the cat, which reached about 5 nodes. The 5-node plant shows a small irregularity in its growth pattern: at one point, the stem appears to emerge from the base of a leaf. Even so, it looks healthy overall, and we'll see how it continues to develop in the coming weeks. They also seem almost "accelerated" in their growth. As soon as they push out a new set of leaves, they already appear eager to produce the next one. After being away from cultivation for so many years, the speed at which they're developing is astonishing compared to what I remembered. The microclimate within the setup also seems to suit them well, as they continue to thrive without showing signs of stress. Looking ahead, I don't plan on doing any more pruning or training. I'll just keep moving leaves out of the way when needed. The branching structure is already looking very dense, with plenty of future tops developing across the plant See you next week!

topolod The multiple lower branches have grown up to reach their respective tops. Their stems have thickened, and new leaves are emerging from the nodes. They have stretched to approximately 8 cm, and their stems are now firmly anchored in the soil. Looking at their development, it seems that applying LST was unnecessary, as the plants naturally tend to grow in a well-structured way with several dominant tops. Even the cat's favorite plant has expanded its foliage nicely. I always water with nutrients once a week. This week, by mistake, I fed them again just two days later at an EC of 1800. Encouragingly, they adapted well to that level, so we will continue moving forward.All are showing their first pistils the w4 d1 The setup is running smoothly and everything is in order.

topolod End of Week 5! 🌱 This week the flowering sites exploded, the smell became much stronger, and the stretch officially began. I fed them once this week with nutrients, then did some gentle LST to spread the branches and improve light penetration across the entire canopy. I finished the week with a selective defoliation. By the very next day they had already adapted really well—no signs of stress, just healthy growth and all the tops reaching back toward the light. I used office binder clips for the LST, so I'll be checking them almost daily to make sure they don't start choking the branches. Little eco tip! What do you think about the defoliation? I hadn't done one in almost **5 years**, so removing that very first fan leaf was actually a bit scary after seeing how vigorous the plants were! Happy growing and good smokes! 🌿💨
