The Zamnesia fabric pot (see link 1 down below) is sooooo much easier compared to regular or air pots, also these type of pots allow you to move and weight them without any problem.
The soil (Plagron) has settled, so this was my cue to add some additional toplayer to the pot (brings in new nutrients and protects the inner coating).
Dosing the water is a huge improvement with this pot compared to my other pots. The fabric really allows the roots to breath, allows evaporation of stale moist and allows water to spill through.
Spill through will come in real handy in a month from now, to get rid off any salt buildups.
Regarding the plant, my goodness it is growing like a true monster. Great extension of the solar leaves canopy, providing a good protection to my newly added soil toplayer.
Color of the leaves are indicating a proper healthy nutrient intake. It does seem to be an added benefit from the Monster Bud Mix (see link 2). I'm hyped to see it's effects in the upcoming weeks,
and if needed I still have one more portion which I could mix and add to the soil.
I've increased the distance of lamp to plant ratio from 60cm/23.62inch to 65cm/25.59inch, this is well within the range of Mars Hydro factory recommendations for it's current state.
As the plant has developed its first leaves canopy, it is time to stimulate it to grow. Pending on the tempo, I will gradually increase it with 5cm/2inch for the upcoming week, I expect it to keep on par with the current distance.

Hey there, itโs nice to see some fellow Belgians around ๐๐ป
If you have any questions just shoot,I can help you out if you wanna grow without measuring ph or ec and wanna yield more than 4g ๐
Happy growing โ๏ธ๐ฑ
@TheBelgian,@Silky_smooth damn and Iโm stuck here with these idiotic politicians ๐๐ฌwoah thatโs way up..Norway?
2 dayโs after the other amnesiaโs sprouted I started searching for te seed,never found it,covered the hole back up and waterd it again and 5 days later she decided to show up ๐
itโs a good trick what Silky_smooth says and if your working with older seeds you can make a seed shaker with the cardboard rol of toilet paper,close the bottom,put some sanding paper on the inside of the rol,seeds in,close top and shake away,this way you make little carvings on the shell so it can soak better in the water
@TheBelgian,try shaking the seeds in a glass with a lid for a minute before soaking....germination after 13h.....sprouth within 3days after start germing....๐
Hi @APOLLO, it was ready for harvest: it is actually an autoflower estimated on 9-10weeks (still no option to add the Ruderalis percentage) from seed to harvest. Initially, I had the same idea/impression to go for 10-12weeks hence my Plagron nutrient schedule. In the harvest week, you can see that I put some pictures of one of the toss away buds which I cut off one every week for easier microscopic observation. It has cloudy trichomes, the good buds (no close-up made yet) are older fully formed and have amber. Cheers ๐
@DrFabrizio_85, It works quite well actually. I recommend it to be used at start of Flowering phase (once every week) untill last weeks before flushing. Reduce amount given if the plant starts clawing. It is nowhere on their online calculator that I could find, however really effective for the leaves. I think the photo's (longer grow times) will have the most benefit from it.
Hi my friend :-) I wish you a lot fun and good luck with your Grow :-) Hopefully there will be a lot of great diaries in this competition ๐๐ป๐ I also put the intro online ๐ Let it grow ๐
@Doktorholland, 100โ150g for 18โ22l (3.53-5.29oz for 18-22l), as we received an 11l pot I am using 70gr in one pot and 80gr in the other. For the second pot, it would be slightly more (5g) then advertised. But based on the described ingredients and my soil, I think and hope to see a better and more stable performance.
