Blue Dream'Matic first timer

Stefling Week One: First week, using Biobizz All Mix, so no nutrients. I don't have root juice, as this is my first grow and I didn't want to get fancy. I'm planning on introducing lst and nutrients from BAC next week, and I'll update the final height after this week is over. I'm only on day 9 after starting the germination. I'm a wee baby still! Started with 4 plants, lost 1. Had to move the tent unexpectedly which caused some strain. Love, peace and equality for all! 💜

Stefling Week 2 of our plant project went mighty well! The ladies all started growing wide, although at slightly different rates. I'm thinking overwatering one of them may have hampered the growth and taken out a bit of the soil nutrients. The rest are doing very well! I still haven't been able to achieve a stable temperature, and since my temperature and humidity controllers are currently stuck in transit somewhere, I fear this may continue for a while. Temperatures vary between 15c and 30c, which I've understood is quite a gap. The outside weather does have quite a bit to do with my ability to control the growth environment, unfortunately. I've got the exhaust fan on low, and the bottom fan on medium to circulate air. I've noticed faint smells whenever popping into the grow room, and I can only imagine it intensifying over the next few weeks. I am constantly fighting the urge to overwater, it seems like an age passes before the top inch of soil is relatively dry. I gave a total of 18L of water this week, for 3 plants in 7L pots. That seems low, but I'm trying to listen to the plants here. My next grow I will definitely look into getting auto-watering pots or something similar. Oh, and we've been saying goodmorning and goodnight, including some sweet talking! I'm a changed person! lol My advice? Make sure you have controllers for humidity and temperature before starting, combined with either humidifier/dehumidifier and fans/heaters. A small electrical rib-radiator with oil is more than sufficient, even for cold climates. In an emergency, boiling the kettle in the room raises humidity, and so does hanging wet towels in there. I've been struggling to keep the humidity above 30% at times. Curse this climate. Oh, and I read somewhere that topping the pots with perlite can help keep moisture in the pots, if that's an issue! It's not here. But still! Happy growing, everyone! And thank you for being a helpful influence in these times of struggle. <3

Stefling Time flies, and so does my leaves! The plants are doing great! Although they droop at night. I'm getting differing opinions on this, with conflicting solutions, so I'll just go with my gut and continue my current plan and care. I did notice a few tears in the leaves, but I'm assuming it's simply watering gone awry and hitting the leaves at times. I've decided against LST for this, my first, grow. I'm missing quite a bit of gear still, so I'll make this my baseline. The baseline with no additives. no light distance changing, no trim or training. It'll be great, for science! Or for me. Who knows? *shrug* I appreciate the input and advice I'm getting here, thank you for the awesome help with my babies! :) P.S. THey've got names now! <3

Stefling Week 4: In desperation at the continued humidity in the low 30's I've employed a kettle and hand-mister. Humidifier and temp/humidity controllers will arrive week 5, so still manually adjusting everything by feel. Great way to get acquainted with your plants, let me say. I may have been under-watering and under-feeding my babies a bit, they seem to have turned very light green on inspection. Also, there's mild wind-damage from the fan being knocked down a bit and blowing directly on the leaves, as well as some burn damage from the hand-mister leaving droplets on the leaves. I've taken to mist just before lights-out to avoid this. What do we think, community? Love and stay safe! <3

Stefling Week 5: Unity hasn't started pre-flowering, but Duality and Trinity have burst into the air and outwards. Well done, ladies! <3 The humidifier is managing to keep the humidity above 35%, but is struggling to reach higher than that, despite a pretty constant temperature now. Not sure what to do about that just yet, and a handmister every evening after lights-out seems impractical. Maybe something to consider for next growth would be a better misting system. Plants doing good! Yay! <3 Love for all!

Stefling So, life went crazy for a bit there, but now I'm back! With all new nutrients and better conditions for the plants. Well, the two remaining plants. Duality and Trinity. Of the two, Duality is taller but a bit lighter on the bud. Trinity is a bit shorter but very dense compared to Duality. I'm seeing a some nutrient burn, and possibly Mg deficiency? I'm trying to get around it with the alg-a-mic from BioBizz. Looking at the trichomes, they all seem clear with no cloudy to them as of yet. Next grow will definitely be in a much bigger pot! - Stay safe! <3
