BetthupferlBotaniker The two little beauties are already a week old and looking pretty sturdy. The AK-47 is just slightly ahead of the Euforia. I’ve been very careful not to let them get too wet; I think that makes the biggest difference at the beginning. At the moment, I’m planning to give them at least 6 weeks of veg, since there’ll only be two plants in 80x80 cm—probably more like 8 weeks. Maybe this is a job for Blumat, too. So far, I’ve always used BioBizz, but I’m thinking about switching to the BioTabs universe, since I’m away for work too often and for too long, and the person watering while I’m on vacation doesn’t seem to be very precise (I think that’s exactly what caused the slight leaf problem with the Afghani).

BetthupferlBotaniker Day 14 from seed. I’m very happy with how they’re developing. The AK-47 is off to a vigorous start, and the Euforia can’t quite keep up. I’d say the Euforia is growing normally to well, though—basically, compared to an average cannabis plant. I’m still undecided whether to go for another SCROG (as I usually do) or let them grow “normally” for once. For now, I’ll leave them undisturbed for another 2 weeks. The humidity is a little low, but it doesn’t seem to bother them much. On the other hand, the conditions are extremely consistent. That’s something, at least.

BetthupferlBotaniker Day 21 from seed. Not much to say, except that they’re growing nicely. What more could you want!🤷🏼‍♂️

BetthupferlBotaniker Day 28 since germination. I bent both of them 90 degrees just below the middle so they’d grow a bit wider. In general, I think wider is always better (muahaha). I’ve started mixing a little BioGrow into the watering water, since they had a slight nitrogen deficiency during the almost two weeks I was away. They can grow a little more; there’s still no space problem in the 40x40 cm tent, and the Afghani is still in the 80x80 cm tent for now.

BetthupferlBotaniker Week 6 has begun. I transplanted both into 17 L pots. This time I recycled the soil with Greenhouse BioGrow—let’s see how that works out. They’ve also moved into the 80x80 cm tent, under the Sanlight Evo 3-80. The AK (on the left in the picture) is growing very evenly after the main stem was bent, while the Euforia is a bit more tangled. A little tinkering is allowed, and since I happened to be home for once, I trained them both a bit. They’ll definitely get another 1–2 weeks of VEG; I’ll switch them over at the latest when the roots start poking out the bottom.

BetthupferlBotaniker We’re now at day 49 from germination. Things got a little exciting in the meantime, as I was away for a week. So I gave them quite a lot of water, and I was worried right up until the end that they wouldn’t make it, but luckily they didn’t even droop their leaves. I’ve put up a trellis net again, and once the plants have grown back upward and maybe a few more shoots have come up, I’ll switch to 12/12.

BetthupferlBotaniker Hi everyone! Today is flowering day 0. I gave both plants a preventative neem oil bath, and now we’re looking forward to a hopeful 12h/12h work/life balance. I’ve let them grow out of the net for a good week now. The leaves have grown a little bigger, and somehow they look pretty sturdy now. I’m fairly curious to see what the stretch will bring, but it’s usually not that intense with SCROG, right? They probably won’t start flowering too early, but, well: I like a strong bush. Funny enough, the plants’ leaves are almost impossible to tell apart, don’t you think? The AK-47 was a little faster, though, and is stretching a few more shoots upward.
