Miketama Soil Preparation & Organic Amending (20L Fabric Pots) Recycled Substrate Base: Reconditioned 15L of used light-mix soil per pot. Nutrient Dry Mix: Thoroughly mixed 110g of Monster Bud Mix, 40ml of Startrex, 20g of Bat Guano, 3g of Mycorrhiza, and 1–2 handfuls of fresh worm castings (humus) into the lower 15L substrate layer. Slow-Release Core: Placed 1 BioTab per pot at a depth of 10cm within the lower layer, positioned well away from the central stem. Biological Activation (Lower Layer): Activated the microflora in the old substrate using a solution of Bactrex and Orgatrex, bringing soil moisture to approximately 25% Water Holding Capacity. Fresh Top Layer Buffer: Covered the amended base with 5L of fresh, unamended Light-Mix soil to create a safe zone for early growth. Planting Hole & Seedling Zone: Added 3g of Mycotrex directly into the seeding hole and lightly watered the top layer with a diluted Bactrex and Orgatrex solution for instant, safe mycorrhizal colonization. Irrigation & Nutrient Management Strategy ​Base Regime: Water-only routine using decanted tap water for standard daily watering.

Miketama Week 2 Vegetative Summary (Day 17 Plants) ​Foliar Nutrition (Vita Race): Spraying Vita Race supplies organic iron and key trace elements directly through the leaves. This boosts chlorophyll synthesis, accelerates photosynthesis, and deepens greening to maximize energy production right before the stretch. ​Light Metrics & DLI: Operating on a 22/2 schedule at 220–250 PPFD, the plants receive a DLI of ~17–19 mol/m²/day. This long photoperiod provides steady daily energy while keeping heat under control and avoiding light stress. ​Canopy & Structure: The 17-day-old plants are actively establishing their 3rd and 4th nodes with full multi-fingered leaves, building a broad surface area to capture light as they approach the transition phase. ​Root Development: Root growth in the 20L pots is accelerating rapidly underground, anchoring the plants and building the capacity needed for upcoming heavy nutrient uptake. ​Next Phase Setup: With a strong root structure and healthy foliage established, these plants are fully primed to handle a gradual increase in PPFD (towards 300+ µmol) as they enter their pre-flower stretch in the coming days.

Miketama Royal Runtz Auto - Week 3 (Day 22) (last 3 photo) Stage: Pre-flowering / Stretch Structure & Development: She has developed a slender, elongated structure with plenty of flexibility. The first female pistils/pre-flowers are officially showing. Training (LST): Her vertical growth allowed for a gentle LST session. Applied light tie-downs on the main stem and the most vigorous secondary branches to open up the canopy. Feeding & Additives: Plagron Pure Zym (1x/week): Added to break down dead root material, optimize substrate aeration, prevent salt buildup, and ensure peak nutrient uptake during the pre-flower transition. Plagron Vita Race (1x/week): Applied via foliar spray to boost photosynthetic capacity, chlorophyll production, and growth vigor.

Miketama (Day 31) ​Phase: Early Bloom / Flower Transition Lighting & DLI: 22.5h Photoperiod (22h @ 400 PPFD + 30 min sunrise/sunset ramp) | DLI ~32 mol/m²/day Environment: DIY CO2 Gel/Yeast reactor active, stable VPD and temp management ​💧 Substrate & Feeding ​Dry Back Management: Executed a controlled ~15% dry back to maximize root zone oxygenation and encourage deeper capillary exploration. ​Top-Dressing: Covered exposed top roots by applying 350g of fresh substrate mixed with 3.5g Bat Guano (1% ratio by weight) to provide a slow-release organic P-K boost for the flowering transition. ​Microbial Activation: Irrigated with Bactrex and enzymes to settle the fresh soil layer and trigger the soil biology. ​Foliar Spray: Discontinued Vita Race applications for the Royal Runtz to keep early pistil clusters completely dry and free of residue. ​✂️ Canopy Care & Maintenance ​Applied selective "finger trimming" (nipping off only shade-casting leaf tips) to eliminate micro-humidity pockets and enhance airflow without causing transplant or defoliation stress. Light Lollipopping: Stripped away weak lower growth and shaded undergrowth to eliminate potential larf buds and maximize lower airflow. LST Bending Clips: Applied LST clips to secondary and tertiary branches to open up the canopy structure, ensure even PPFD distribution, and maximize light penetration to all main bud sites. ​📈 Overall Status ​She is transitioning gracefully into flower with vibrant green foliage, zero signs of nutrient stress, and healthy "praying" leaf posture under the 400 PPFD canopy. First pistil clusters are multiplying rapidly!

Miketama 🔜

Miketama ​Structure & Canopy: Height has stabilized at 90 cm following the end of the vertical stretch. Secondary branches are evenly spaced, allowing optimal light penetration down to middle node sites. ​Flower Development: Bud sites are fully established and transitioning into the heavy bulking phase. ​Lower Canopy Maintenance: The lower third remains stripped of weak growth (lollipopped), maximizing airflow around the base and directing all energy toward the upper colas. ​Environment & Lighting: ​PPFD & DLI: Maintained at 500–550 PPFD on a 22/2 light cycle (DLI: ~40–43.5 mol/m²/day). ​Relative Humidity: Stable at 55% to eliminate condensation risks within swelling, dense buds. ​Feeding & Substrate Care: ​Weekly fertigation with Biobizz Top-Max + Pure Zym. ​Sustained organic Phosphorus uptake from the Bat Guano + Light Mix top-dressing, activated by rhizosphere bacteria (Bactrex).
