tjaym ๐ฟ Week 2: Vegetative Growth & Dialing in the Light
Plant Development & Health
Height: The plant reached about 7 cm in height and is developing its first sets of beautiful, distinct fan leaves.
Health Observation: Noticed a slight light-green tint early in the week, indicating she was hungry and ready for a higher nutrient concentration.
Feeding & Nutrition
Nutrients: Stepped up the Plagron regimen to address the light-green color.
Target EC: Dialed in at 1.2 EC using Terra Grow, Pure Zym, and Power Roots.
Response: She responded very well to the increase, showing stabilized color and steady growth.
Lighting Adjustments
Distance: Kept the Spider Farmer SE3000 at a constant height of 40 cm.
Intensity: Gradual increase strategy implemented.
Raised the light output daily by 40 ยตmol/mยฒ to smoothly introduce more energy without shocking the young plant.

tjaym ๐ Week 3: Explosive Veg & Strengthening
Plant Development & Health
Growth: She is growing beautifully now, showing a noticeable explosion in size and canopy density thanks to the increased light intensity from last week.
Training: No manual LST (Low Stress Training) applied yet.
Letting her grow naturally for now.
Airflow: The Spider Farmer clip fan is positioned perfectly, keeping the fan leaves gently dancing to strengthen the main stem and branches.
Feeding & Nutrition
Target EC: Pushed the electrical conductivity up to 1.8 EC to support her explosive vegetative growth.
Nutrient Mix: Plagron Terra Grow, Pure Zym, Power Roots, and introduced Sugar Royal to boost amino acids and overall plant vigor.
Response: She is loving the heavy feeding, showing dark green leaves and tight node spacing.
Day 27 - We tucked her leaves a bit to stimulate new leaves to grow + airflow.

tjaym Week 4: Vegetative Phase โ Managing the Changing Seasons ๐ฟ
Welcome to week 4!
As the outdoor temperatures are starting to drop, I am focusing heavily on keeping the indoor climate perfectly dialed in for the ladies.
Climate & Environment ๐ค๏ธ
Daytime Temperature: 23ยฐC โ 25ยฐC (Keeping it stable despite the colder weather outside)
Soil Temperature: 22ยฐC (Nice and warm for optimal root activity)
Relative Humidity (RH): ~65%VPD: 0.9 โ 1.1 kPa (Right in the sweet spot for this stage of growth!)
Light Distance: Hanging steady at 40 cm from the top of the pots.
Plant Development & Training ๐
The girls are looking incredibly healthy and robust.
They are currently standing at a height of 12 to 15 cm.
They are developing nice, thick foliage and showing great vigor.
Regarding training, I kept it simple this week.
No high-stress techniques yetโjust some leaf tucking to open up the canopy and promote the growth of the lower, newer shoots.
They responded beautifully to this.
Feeding & Watering ๐ฆ
The root zone is thriving, and the plants are drinking well.
Over the past week, I've been giving them at least 250 ml of water almost daily, packed with a solid Plagron cocktail to support their vegetative growth:
Plagron Terra Grow (Base nutrients)
Pure Zym (Enzymes for soil health)
Sugar Royal (Amino acids to enhance development)
Power Roots (To keep the root mass expanding)
To my eyes, they look absolutely gorgeous right now.
Take a look at the pictures and let me know what you think!
Happy growing everyone! ๐

tjaym ๐ Grow Diaries Update: Week 5
General Status:
The plants are officially entering Week 5 and are showing the first clear signs of early flowering/pre-flowering.
They are growing under an 18/6 light cycle, with the lamp positioned roughly 30cm above the canopy at a light intensity of 700 PPFD.
Environmental Factors:
Day Temperature: 24ยฐC โ 27ยฐC
Night Temperature: 20ยฐC โ 22ยฐC
Day Humidity (RH): 60%
Night Humidity (RH): 60%
Feeding & Watering:
Today, the plants received a total of 5 Liters of water distributed over the 4 pots.
Switching over to the flowering regime using the Plagron line:
Plagron Terra Bloom (2 ml/L)
Power RootsPower Buds
Royal SugarPure Zym
Actions & Issues:
Defoliation: Cleaned up the bottom of the plants by removing low-hanging leaves and small stems close to the soil to prevent issues with airflow and potential pests.
PH Issues:
The pH meter started acting up and refused to calibrate properly.
Because of this, the plants received water based on a rough estimate regarding pH levels over the past week.
Watering Adjustment:
Following advice that the plants were slightly underwatered and lacking "praying leaves," the watering volume has been adjusted.
@FatnastyzBudz,
Yessir it was, but not happy with it, did not read well enough - if i poked it in the pot halfway down it gave no meassurement - on top side it did not give a correct EC meassurement, who knows if soil meassurement was good XD.
I removed it recently :D
@tjaym, try 3-4 inches from the stem. Gotta stay near that root ball. Itll get swamped with roots too. Like cutting with a saw when you pull it out. ๐
Im still figuring out the EC on the one I have.
