Project#2 (Fruit Gardena)

clicknflash All three seedlings (Strawberry Gorilla, Banana Frost, Mango Frost) have successfully emerged and opened their cotyledons! Temperature and humidity are looking stable under the DIY humidity domes. Starting with Power Roots at 1ml/L for the first official watering. Off to a great start!

clicknflash Week 2 - ​Everything is progressing exceptionally well in the tent! ​Lighting & Environment: Light intensity has been dialed up to 420ppfd/85cm. Day temps are holding steady at 26–27°C with humidity kept around 65–70% RH (drops briefly to ~54% during tent checks). ​Training & Canopy Management: Applied light partial defoliation / leaf tucking on Banana and Mango Frost. Rather than topping, I lightly clipped the top two shade leaves right next to the main tip. The main growth tip remains 100% intact, but the lower nodes are now getting direct light and shooting up rapidly. ​Feeding: Stepped up the vegetative feed to match the higher PPFD. The plants are receiving 3 ml/L Plagron Terra Grow and 1 ml/L Power Roots, pH adjusted to 6.2–6.3. ​Stems are thickening nicely and leaf color is a healthy deep green. Ready to push hard into Week 3!

clicknflash ​Week 3 Summary - LST Expansion & Canopy Structure ​A great week of active training in the tent! ​Low Stress Training (LST): Truly kicked off LST across all plants this week. Mango Frost is responding amazingly to bending—it opened up so wide that barely any defoliation was needed. Banana is following closely; being a bit bushier, it received another light round of upper leaf tucking/trimming to expose inner nodes. Strawberry Gorilla was ready for training just yesterday, but I managed to open its canopy up nicely today as well. ​Nutrients & Feeding: Stepped up Plagron Terra Grow to 5 ml/L alongside 1 ml/L Power Roots, keeping pH strictly at 6.2–6.5. Stems are thick, robust, and handling the training easily. ​Lighting & Environment: Light intensity increased to ~500–550 µmol/m²/s for mid-veg. Climate stays steady at 26–27°C and 60–65% RH. ​Minor Adjustment: Elevated the Strawberry Gorilla slightly to keep the overall light canopy even across all three strains. ​Ready for the upcoming stretch!
