Lemon Cherry Cookies - FastBuds autumn

bananomet If you are wondering. The thing in the glass with a peat puck is a Shishito pepper seedling, not cannabis. :D

bananomet So far so good. Only giving un-pH'd water with root juice for now. --- Update 16. 09. Time to start feeding the microbes. Added a bit of fishmix into the watering and uploaded a new picture. She seems very happy, been praying like that enitre week. 👍 I also got a GGS control kit, 5v1 sensor (inc. PAR and CO2 meter) and a humidifier from Spider Farmer. Now I'll be able to keep track of CO2 levels, set lights more precisely and also automatically target VPD. --- Update 17. 09. I've repotted yesterday inside 21l RootPlus filled with Plagron RoyalMix. Noticed the roots crawling from all the bottom holes of the former 3l pot, so I had to act. Not bad for my first repot job I think. Raised the light to 50cm @50% power. That gives me precisely 500 µmol/m²/s at canopy. New photo uploaded.

bananomet I am impressed. Start of veg week number 3 and the fan leaves are bigger than my hand already. Decided not to do any LST. There wouldn't be enough space in the tent for the other plants. 😁 --- Update 23. 09. I had to raise the lights, it's getting too big too fast. Grew 6cm in 2 days. With that I also had to raise the power to 75 %. Tucked some fan leaves under the shoots. New photo uploaded. --- Update 25. 09. Entered preflower yesterday. New photo uploaded.

bananomet So I did a little bit of LST, if you can call it that. Just widened the 4 main branches with wires attached to the pot to allow more light and air penetration. --- Wednesday update. 7cm in 2 days looking good. Other than that, nothing new to report. New photo uploaded. --- Update 04. 10. Leaves are yellowing. Why? I am not using fertilizer yet, since Royalmix is pre-fertilized.

bananomet The yellowing continues. No idea why. --- Update 09. 10. I have no idea why the leaves continue to fade away. Anyone could chip in?

bananomet Think I found the culprit. Despite watering 1 liter daily, the bottom half of the soil didn't get any water. I was watering too slowly. So I've drenched the pot with 5l of water during the weekend and the yellowing seems to have stopped. 👍 At least for now. --- Small update. the stem turned burgundy color, almost black. That's quite the sight NGL. New photo uploaded.

bananomet Alright well. The yellowing continues. My last ditch is to just feed the thing I guess. --- Just a quick update. The gnats are out of control, so I ordered some nematodes to get it out of control. Honestly they might be behind the leaf yellowing, as the larvae apparently feed on the roots. New photo uploaded.

bananomet Applied beneficial nematodes on tuesday afternoon. So far no reduction in fungus gnats, but it's too early to judge.

bananomet The nematodes didn't help. I was promissed a new batch on wednesday by a local small business, but they failed to deliver. Maybe next week they said. Meanwhile the bug situation is still out of hand. Already killed thousands of bugs with the sticky pads. I think it's over. Harvest within 10 days and I'll have to do a complete reset of my entire space.
