Moguai80 Week 2: Growth & The Secret "Super-Mulch" Layer ​During this week, the three seedlings started building strong roots and pushing out their first true sets of fan leaves. While top-side growth is still in its early stages, plenty of magic is happening underneath. ​The highlight of this week was applying the mulch layer: ​Material: Fine hemp mulch was laid down with a protective ring around the young plants. This ring ensures the stems aren't choked off and get plenty of airflow. The layer is about 2 to 3 cm thick to protect the living soil from drying out. ​The Special Prep (Pro Level): Instead of putting it on dry, I pre-soaked the hemp mulch in a custom mix containing Fulvital Liquid, Amino Power Plus, and EM Süd Carbo fertilizer dissolved in 1 liter of water. This way, valuable nutrients and microbes are introduced directly to the surface right from the start to support the super-soil ecosystem. ​Setup Update: The plants are developing flawlessly under the current light settings (40% / ~130W, 90–95 cm distance).

Moguai80 Week 3: First Top & Reaching New Heights ​Heading into week three, the plants are picking up the pace nicely, establishing a solid root zone beneath the super-mulch layer and pushing out multiple new nodes. ​Training & Topping: This week marks an important milestone—I performed the first topping on the Blue Zenith (BZ). Removing the dominant growing tip encourages the lower branches to catch up and lays the foundation for an even, bushier canopy. ​Feeding & Care: The soil web is thriving thanks to the biological prep work from last week. Watering continues on schedule with the regular tea/water mix, keeping the microbes active and happy. ​Setup Update: Lights remain at 40% (~130 Watts) with a height of 90 to 95 cm, and the plants are responding exceptionally well to the stable environment.
