Bartimaeus Hello, just like the last times, I'm letting two plants grow in a small space on the shelf.
- Filling in a fabric pot about 18 liters
- Soil: Floragard Professional Growmix
- Lighting: -Two SF-300 Spider Farmer LED grow lights with 33 watts each
- Two 9 W full-spectrum LED tubes from Jungle Leave that I have attached sideways on metal rails with magnets. This way, I can adjust the height of the lights accordingly.
- Small fan in front of the lights
I let the seeds germinate on a damp kitchen towel. After just one day, TC XL germinated.
One day after germination, the seedling went directly into the soil. At first, I only misted the seedling, but then I quickly started to water gently around it with pH neutral water.

Bartimaeus I haven't had a chance to update in the last two weeks, so I'm catching up now in the third week.
Day 14
By the end of the second week, the Tropicana Cherry XL has developed well. At first, I had to support it a bit as it leaned to the side.
I added Bio-Down to the watering to get the pH level to around 6.5.
I added CalMag since my water is soft.
I sprinkled mycorrhizal fungi into the soil.

Bartimaeus So, with this entry, I'm up to date again.
Day 19
I'm very satisfied with the growth of the Tropicana Cherry XL Auto. It should be ready for harvest 8-9 weeks after germination.
I find that quite optimistic, but let's see what happens. The start is definitely promising.
For safety, I've put yellow sticky traps in the pot again.
- Height: 16 cm
- Distance to the lamp: 56 cm
- Nutrients: CalMag 0.3 ml/l, Bio-Down 0.2 ml/l
- Temperature: 25°C
