Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto

Raffael So the first week of vegging starts, after a very difficult start hopefully she can fully kick off this week 🙏 but since she's behind the others, the conditions will soon not be perfect anymore as I will adjust the conditions to the bigger ones 👍

Raffael Week 3 completed 🍋🍒 The Lemon Cherry Cookies from Fast Buds is developing relatively well so far. However, I'm curious to see how everything unfolds in the coming weeks, especially regarding the lighting and the space between the other plants. Unfortunately, it took her nine days to germinate, so she's a bit behind in her development. The neighboring plants are now significantly larger and are already slightly shading her. That's why I gently pulled her up a bit with a wire on day 21 and directed her towards the corner. There, she'll get a bit more light and hopefully won't be overshadowed too much by the other plants. The lamp is currently hanging about 60 cm above her, as the other plants are around 30 cm taller and are already starting to flower. Let's see how everything develops in the next few weeks and if the lighting conditions work out. Otherwise, I'm feeling positive! She's actually developing quite well, and so far there are no further issues. Now it's just a matter of waiting and seeing how it goes. 🌱

Raffael Weekly Review & Overall Condition: The Lemon Cherry Cookies has been through quite a lot this week and ended up heavily overshadowed, but still shows surprisingly stable and strong growth. Looking back on her entire journey so far, it’s almost a little test of endurance: It took a solid nine days for her to even germinate, followed by the whole struggle of being constantly overshadowed, and I had to stretch her right up in the corner back then. Considering she has been under constant stress since then and now has to cope with a completely new lighting situation, she is holding up absolutely well. You really can’t complain – she’s showing true fighting spirit and is doing quite well despite the adverse circumstances. Lighting Setup & Necessary Adjustments: The neighboring plants (the Banana Purple and the Apple Strudel) were getting too little light lately – measurements showed only about 200 PPFD there. To compensate for that, I had to react and pull the main lamp a bit forward and tilt it slightly. Since the Lemon Cherry Cookies was so small that she was overshadowed by the neighboring plants and wasn’t getting any light from above, I had to find a solution: I just placed a 45-watt lamp in the corner, which now lights her from the side. Planning and Outlook for the Coming Days: I will leave the 45-watt lamp in the corner for another day or two and then hang it directly above the Lemon Cherry Cookies. It will stay in use there until either the first partial harvests are due or the plant has grown tall enough to automatically receive light from the main lamp again. I’m just observing the whole thing quite relaxed for now – but I’m absolutely optimistic that she will master this path without any issues!
