Auto Tutankamon First Grow!

ultrasonic Seeds from the promotion pack 3+1. Visually, they didn't look very good. The first one didn't sprout, the second seed (which looked the best) sprouted the next day. Planted and moved to the box. I will be using BioBizz - Grow + bloom + root juice + algamic + topmax. This is my very first experience growing indoors, so I'm afraid to make mistakes in choosing everything necessary. I hope for your support, bro. upd. At the very beginning, I was stingy with water, and it seems the little plant got a bit stunted due to the drought. I stabilized the pH, watering about 200-250 ml. I raised the lamp as high as possible, but it doesn't want to grow upwards; I think it should take off later.

ultrasonic Watering about 250-300 ml + 1 ml Root Juice. It's growing into a thick, short bush. We'll see what happens next. Magnesium sulfate on the leaves, by the end of the week I increased watering to 500 ml without root stimulators, so I've overfed it.

ultrasonic 31.01 Magnesium sulfate on the leaves, there was drying for a couple of days. 02.02 Watering 1L + 0.5ml Grow + 0.5ml Algamic (drainage pH 5.8) I forgot to close the window in the room - got a little stress from the cold +17°C 04.02 Watering 0.5L + CalMag 1ml/1L By the end of day 20 of growth, it showed its sex. I will switch to different feeding.

ultrasonic Day 21 Watering with compote. 300 ml + Grow 0.5 ml/l + Bloom 0.5 ml/l + Algamic 1ml/1 + calmag 0.5 ml/l plus algamic on the leaves overnight. Found a problem - the pH meter died and was showing a wrong pH. Day 22 Watering with compote 300 ml Day 24 Watering 350 ml + 1ml/l grow + 2ml/l algamic Day 26 Watering 350 ml + 1ml/l grow + 2ml/l algamic Day 28 Watering 350 ml + 1ml/l CalMag Pre-flowering has started, the colas are growing vertically. One side branch has already caught up with the center one. Apparently, Root Juice did its job. I like the result of this week. The little plant has come to life and started to look better. I have high hopes for it.

ultrasonic The week was easy. I fed them a bit as needed. I made the compote with different mixes, but I won't write everything down. Soon I'll understand how to do it right and avoid problems. See you next week, when the salting happened! :))))) The week is already ready and was quite complicated and problematic.

ultrasonic Around day 35, I experienced salt buildup. The drainage output was pH 5.0 and 500 ppm, which surprised me and at the same time became a solution to my problems. I decided to flush. First, I used reverse osmosis water, and when that ran out, I switched to tap water with a pH of 6.5. I flushed about 20 liters - the result was pH 5.5-5.8. I left it like that until the next day and then flushed with 10 liters of compost tea, ppm-500, pH-6.5. The drainage was pH 6.0. After these manipulations, the situation didn't change. The nutrient deficiency occurred due to salinity, and the plant was feeding from its leaves instead of the roots. At this pH level, the main NPK nutrients, along with calcium and magnesium, are not being absorbed.

ultrasonic After the first flush, it didn't help. I flushed again with 20 liters of nutrients, pH 7.0 ppm-1000. In the end, I got pH 6, ppm 940. These numbers calmed me down, and I left it like that. After that, over the course of 2-3 days, the plant returned to normal and the normal color of young or unaffected leaves is proof of that. I couldn't resist and took a lower sample. And I was very pleasantly surprised. I came to the conclusion that when you start feeding with nutrients, you need to flush with water, or better yet, water generously with nutrients with a high drainage output. This will help avoid substrate acidification by flushing out the remnants of the previous watering, and at the same time, the soil gets buffered. One downside is the nutrient consumption. Although on the other hand, this way you can feed more abundantly and not fear the consequences. Keep the ppm at the right level for the specific phase, and most importantly, watch the pH!!!

ultrasonic After a tough week last week, this one is going pretty smoothly. The nutrient lockout is over! The plant got back to normal a few days ago. I did another watering with 10L. pH 7, ppm 1200, and the runoff came out to pH 7, ppm 940. These numbers with the same readings made me really happy. Although you can see it in the plant from the outside. I calculated the watering mixes on the calculator, and they matched the feeding charts, from dosages to the required ppm for this phase. The conclusion - feed according to the chart, avoid salt buildup. Control the pH!! The lower branches are quietly being trimmed and smoked. You're not you if you're hungry!

ultrasonic I did the last watering with nutrients. Next, I plan to go with just water for a week. It looks like it will ripen right on schedule, around day 70. I also noticed some strange "tails" on the top. Does anyone know why this happens? The distance from the lamp is 10-15 cm. It's not hot in terms of temperature, and it doesn't seem like intense light either. I can assume that it's stuffy up there - the air isn't circulating well at the top, and the fan doesn't reach the top for airflow. So it creates a greenhouse or hotbed effect. Is that the case? Does anyone have any guesses or explanations for this phenomenon?

ultrasonic Harvest on day 70. The weight in the photo was 85 plus 30 that didn't make it into the photo and was taken a bit earlier. Total - around 110. My opinion - Tutankhamun should be harvested earlier for a more pronounced high effect.
