Northern Lights #5 x Haze FirstGrow

Growzaza In der ersten Woche habe ich alles von Hand gegossen, den pH-Wert auf 6 korrigiert und den PPM-Wert bei etwa 500 gehalten. Was ich lustig fand, war die eine Blattlaus, die einfach aus dem Nichts auftauchte. Damals dachte ich, dass irgendwo im Substrat Eier liegen und ich weiterhin große Probleme damit haben würde. Aber das war wohl die Glücksblattlaus! ^^ Mehr gab es dann auch nicht.

Growzaza In the second week, there was rather little going on. The roots first developed in the stone wool.

Growzaza When the first roots are visible, it's time to start the irrigation system. Of course, the ring from Terra Aquatica wasn't exactly what you would call useful. After all, I had to change the water every week and thoroughly clean the bucket. With this system, that wouldn't have been possible. After a few days, I bought air stones and then installed them. The pump that was included at least fulfilled its purpose.

Growzaza This week I made topping and tied the plant down a bit.

Growzaza Even more HST and stretch ^^

Growzaza Since it was my first plant and I didn't want to make any mistakes, I checked the pH level twice a day and, of course, also monitored the nutrient supply. The plant has already consumed about 3 liters of water a day.

Growzaza I don't know how I came up with the idea. But since I knew that the plant can shoot up, and I only have a small tent, I decided to apply LST and turn the plant into a sort of vortex. 😁

Growzaza It is said that cannabis is a weed and simply grows, no matter what you do with it. Back then it was just a guess, today experience has shown that after the vegetative phase, the fun is over and just one single mistake can lead to a disaster. That’s why it’s always good to check everything with the appropriate devices. ^^

Growzaza Yes, even more HST. I have cut off many small shoots, as well as the corresponding leaves.😱😏

Growzaza Yes, just as I was advised back then, I still avoid the plant net today. If I'm ever lazy while growing, then I have to fall back on it.😁

Growzaza Back then, I had to take the plant out of the lower bucket and place it in another bucket to subsequently clean the main bucket and fill it with a new nutrient mix. If I was lazy and didn't do that for more than seven days, I had problems with the pH value, which then fluctuated much more.😉

Growzaza I took a photo every day back then and documented everything. Now I know that each plant is individual and there is no universally valid recipe for it. Except of course, that you try your best not to make any mistakes. ^^

Growzaza If the pH value keeps jumping up at the beginning and you therefore have to constantly add pH-minus, it is rather the opposite towards the end of the cycle. Simply adding pH-plus would probably be a mistake. That's why the water was changed, I believe, sometimes every three days. I think that the pH-minus may have accumulated at the roots over the course of the cycle.

Growzaza In the end, the buds were too heavy to stand upright anymore. Back then, I didn't have any plant jojos for support, and since it was already the last week, I didn't think about it anymore.😏

Growzaza Yes, it was quite strong 😎
