Bartimaeus After the last germinations went great between damp paper towels, I did it the same way this time. The seed started to germinate after just 3 days. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of the seedling.

Bartimaeus Hello, just like the last times, I'm growing two plants in a small room on a shelf again.
- Filling in a fabric pot about 18 liters
- Soil:
Floragard Professional Growmix
- Lighting:
Two SF-300 Spider Farmer LED grow lights, each with 33 watts
For later, when the canopy gets denser,
I'll add a 9W and an 8W full-spectrum LED tube from Jungle Leaves on the sides
I'll run the light for 18 hours again and then reduce it a bit at the end
- A small fan in front of the lights
- A small dehumidifier in the room
One day after germination, the seedling went directly into the soil. After about 3 days, the seedling was visible.
At first, I only sprayed the seedling, but then I quickly started to water gently around it with pH-neutral water. I haven't set a specific amount of water yet and I'm watering by feel.
This time, I incorporated mycorrhiza around the plant into the soil. The fungus isn't expensive, so it's worth a try for me.
Fertilizing only after the onset of flowering has proven effective with the Floragard soil. If no deficiencies occur, I'll do it the same way this time.

The Blue Bullet Auto is growing well. It's very warm in the grow room. I can't change that due to the outside temperature.
I'm still watering by feel. I add a bit of Calmag and Bio-Down to the water based on the water values. I stopped spraying the soil pretty quickly.

The Blue Bullet Auto is growing very well. It's grown a bit crooked as if I had done LST.
I added CalMag and Bio-Down to the watering, just like last week.
I watered again based on feel.
It's still very hot here. I can't cool down my grow room, so the plant has to deal with it. It hasn't harmed her so far.

I was on vacation for a few days and couldn't take any photos for week 4.
When I got home, I watered the plant with about 2.5 liters.
The plant handled not being watered for a few days pretty well.
- Nutrients: CalMag 0.3 ml/l, Bio-Down 0.1 ml/l, Fish-Mix 1 ml/l
Photos for week 5 will be coming soon.

Bartimaeus Day 30
The Blue Bullet Auto continues to grow well and has become noticeably larger. I've lowered the shelf it's on.
It hasn't started pre-flowering yet. This time I've fertilized sparingly with Fish-Mix. For the next watering, I will change the fertilization so that I can use the same water as with my Purple Skunk Auto.
I've also turned on the two full-spectrum LED tubes from Jungle Leaves to illuminate the lower leaves.
I mounted the tubes on wooden slats. I attached several magnets to the back, so I can move the tubes along metal strips as needed.
- Height: 29 cm
- Distance to the lamp: 29 cm
- Fertilization: CalMag 0.3 ml/l, Bio-Down 0.05 ml/l, Fish-Mix 1 ml/l
- Temperature: 29.8°C
- Humidity: 41%
_______________________________
Day 33
The Blue Bullet Auto is not growing as quickly as the Purple Skunk Auto next to it. I've lowered the shelf it's on because of the Purple Skunk. To compensate for the distance to the light, I've placed boards under the pot.
The Blue Bullet is also growing well, and there are no deficiencies visible on it either.
It hasn't started flowering yet, but it should be soon. Therefore, I've also started fertilizing it. This way, I have the same fertilization schedule as with the Purple Skunk, making it easier for me, especially later on, with the fertilization.
I'm replacing Fish-Mix with Bio-Grow at this point.
- Height: 33 cm
- Distance to the lamp: 29 cm
- Water amount about 2.5 liters
- Fertilization: CalMag 0.3 ml/l, Bio-Down a few drops, Bio-Grow 1 ml/l, Bio-Bloom 1 ml/l, Top-Max 1 ml/l
- Temperature: 29°C
- Humidity: 56%

Day 34
After watering and fertilizing yesterday, I had to lower the shelf because of the Purple Skunk Auto. The Blue Bullet Auto is still on boards for height adjustment.
Today I watered and fertilized again.
- Height: 34 cm
- Distance to the lamp: 40 cm
- Water amount about 2 liters
- Fertilization: CalMag 0.3 ml/l, Bio-Down a few drops, Bio-Grow 1 ml/l, Bio-Bloom 1 ml/l, Top-Max 1 ml/l

The Blue Bullet Auto is continuing to grow beautifully. However, it doesn't want to go into flowering. It doesn't seem to be male, at least no pollen sacs are visible so far. I will wait another week or two and see what it does. Maybe it just needs a bit more time.
Today I watered and fertilized. Due to the delay in flowering, I had to use a different fertilization schedule than with the Purple Skunk Automatic.
I always wash my pipettes after using them to measure the fertilizer amount. Completely lost in thought, I accidentally dropped my pH tester into the water. Pretty dumb since it's not waterproof. That's never happened to me before. Well, I immediately ordered a new one.

Bartimaeus Day 43
The 7th week has begun and the Blue Bullet Auto still isn't going into bloom. Seems to be a late starter. I had this happen before with another automatic. I guess you just have to be patient. If it doesn't go into bloom at all, I'll temporarily change the lighting schedule. That would be a bit annoying for the Purple Skunk next to it.
Today I watered and fertilized. I kept the feeding schedule the same.
I set the shelf to the lowest level and adjusted the side lighting.
- Height: 50 cm
- Distance to the lamp: 44 cm
- Water amount: about 2 liters
- Fertilization: CalMag 0.3 ml/l, Bio-Down a few drops, Bio-Grow 1 ml/l, Bio-Bloom 1 ml/l, Top-Max 1 ml/l
- Temperature: 25°C
- Humidity: 41%
-----------------------------------------------------
Day 48
The 7th week is coming to an end. The Blue Bullet Auto still doesn't want to go into bloom. I guess I'll have to come up with something next week.
Today I watered and fertilized. I kept the feeding schedule the same, but I increased the water amount to 4 liters after the Blue Bullet Auto let its leaves droop a bit yesterday. I'll be watering more frequently now, and at least 4 liters.
It's gotten really hot outside again. The temperature in my grow room has risen significantly. Not ideal, but I can't change it.
- Height: 51 cm
- Distance to the lamp: 43 cm
- Water amount: about 4 liters
- Fertilization: CalMag 0.3 ml/l, Bio-Down a few drops, Bio-Grow 1 ml/l, Bio-Bloom 1 ml/l, Top-Max 1 ml/l

Today I watered and fertilized again. I kept the fertilization schedule the same.
The Blue Bullet Auto has grown even bigger. It still hasn’t gone into flowering. I had to take it out of the shelf because it was taking up too much space from the Purple Skunk Auto. Now it’s standing in front of my shelf.
It’s still very hot outside, and the temperature in my grow room is actually too high.

My Blue Bullet Auto is also starting week 9. Since it still doesn't want to go into flowering and keeps getting bigger, I've decided to put it on the balcony.
Since I've had to deal with little critters on the plants on the balcony last time, I've ordered nematodes and beneficial fly larvae just in case.
Today I watered and fertilized again. I kept the fertilization schedule the same. I only increased the CalMag amount.
- Height: 62 cm
- Distance to the lamp: Now on the balcony
- Water amount: about 4 liters - Fertilization: CalMag 0.5 ml/l, Bio-Down a few drops, Bio-Grow 1 ml/l, Bio-Bloom 1 ml/l, Top-Max 1 ml/l
- Day temperature: outside 31°C
- Night temperature: outside 20°C
- Humidity: outside 33%

The Blue Bullet Auto is noticeably bigger. The buds are still taking their time. I think it will only go into flowering with a longer dark period.
Yesterday I watered and fertilized again. I kept the fertilization schedule the same.

- Distance to the lamp: On the balcony
- Water amount: about 4 liters
- Fertilization: CalMag 0.5 ml/l, Bio-Down a few drops, Bio-Grow 1 ml/l, Bio-Bloom 1 ml/l, Top-Max 1 ml/l
