MELs_Garden Week 1 From November 2 to 8 Once we're in the grow tent with the LEDs about 15/20cm away and 18 hours ON, we continue the usual process, occasionally spraying water with rooting solution, and if we see that the substrate dries out a bit, we water with the same water from the sprayer. Water + 1 ryzofuel pH 6.0 EC: 0 2ms We keep the same routine all week, foliar feeding every day, and if any pot dries out, we just water normally. We've ordered the substrate and pots, so around Tuesday or so we'll do the transplants. Other than that, nothing to report since there's nothing special to say, everything is going well.

MELs_Garden Week 2 From November 9 to 15 The plants are looking quite clear, starting to yellow a bit, so we started with the nutrients. November 10 We watered with the Cyco nutrients specified above. November 11 We transplanted to 1.65l pots with Progen coconut substrate. Since we watered with nutrients yesterday, this time we just lightly added Ryzofuel, nothing more, to help them settle a bit, but we watered very lightly on top. We'll wait for them to get through the transplant stress. November 13 After our little ones recovered from the transplant, we gave them a nutrient watering with the conditions specified above. November 14 We changed the lighting in the vegetative cabinet. Before, we had 3 LED strips of 25w from Grow the Jungle (75w), which are good for the early stages of growth, and now we placed a 150w Jackson from the same brand to ensure that all the plants get plenty of light and don’t stretch or grow crooked. Everything else is going smoothly.

MELs_Garden Week 3 From November 16 to 22 We continue doing foliar sprays with ryzofuel, and when it's time to water, we use the mix with everything detailed above. It's progressing very well. November 20 It seems they have settled in and are starting to push out with a lot of strength. This looks good. November 22 We continue with the waterings (specified above), but we added 0.16ml/l of Mammoth P to give our substrate a little boost 😉 We finish this week 3 with very good feelings. It's too early to say, but based on how it's developing so far, we are looking at our best grow yet; let's hope it continues like this.

MELs_Garden Week 4 From November 23 to 29 This is still going great. The internodal distance is minimal, and they are getting very robust. They look amazing, and at the rate they’re going, it won’t be long until the transplant to the final pot. We continue to do foliar sprays with ryzofuel practically 1 or 2 times a day. The waterings are individual and with the conditions specified above. We have alternated some nutrient waterings with others of water + calmag. We don’t want the coco to be too loaded for the upcoming transplant. We pruned some lower nodes and took the opportunity to remove a few leaves from the bottom. We continue to do foliar sprays with ryzofuel from time to time.

MELs_Garden Week 5 From November 30 to December 6 We're continuing with the same system we've been using so far. December 3 We transplanted to 11L pots. As you can see in the photos, the roots are insane and have completely colonized the substrate. We'll be using Cocogen from the Progen brand (which is what we've used throughout the grow so far) for the transplant to the final pot, 100% coco, previously moistened with water + Ryzofuel. We took the opportunity to remove some leaves from the bottom and eliminate a few nodes. December 5 We changed the light cycle to 15 hours and 30 minutes so they can start sexing. We did some watering; this time we added water + (1g•10L) of Vegetative Growth from Grotek because I really like how it works, it gives the plant a lot of strength for flowering. We watered with 0.5L per plant. pH: 6.2 EC: 0.4ms This will be the last watering before switching to flowering, which will be on December 7.

MELs_Garden Week 6 From November 7 to 13 First of all, I'm sorry for the lack of photos... there's a reason for everything... Well, let's explain the week... When everything was looking good and it seemed like we were going to have a massive harvest, we messed it up pretty badly... The plan was to switch them to flowering on November 7, but since we still had a few plants left to transplant and were waiting for the substrate we ordered, we had to wait. After finishing the transplants, we started the sulfur burner to eliminate any kind of spores, bugs... We always do this in the dark and without extraction, and we turn on the extractor 1 hour before the lights come on, but this time we forgot to turn off the burner and it kept running with the lights on; we turned it off after about 2 hours... But to make matters worse, since we saw that the leaves were drying out a bit, we gave them a foliar spray thinking that there was ryzofuel in the water (it doesn't have a magnifying effect), but it turned out to be a mix of water with fertilizers, and between that and the sulfur smoke... water + sulfur = acid. In summary, they all got burned... overnight, the necrosis on the leaves was insane... Throughout the week, we did foliar sprays with vitality plus, calmag + dr repair... and we're removing the most affected leaves... The waterings are being done with the mixture mentioned above. The plants are recovering and still growing, so as soon as we see that they bounce back a bit, we'll switch to 12 hours.

MELs_Garden Flowering 1 From December 17 to 23 Hey, we're back at it. The grow was on the verge of being aborted, but the truth is that the plants have responded really well and have recovered perfectly. We were applying plant vitality via foliar until a few days after the switch to 12 hours. The grow room has undergone several modifications (one of the reasons why I haven't been able to update the diary as much as I would have liked... excuses 😂😂) that have given a boost to the entire grow: - We changed the extractor entry by placing a T and splitting it into 2 Canlite carbon filters. - We added 1 Jackson plate of 150w from Grow the Jungle. Consequently, we had to change the distribution of the lights to achieve a uniform light pattern throughout the grow space. - As a final result, we have 2 LEC lamps of 315w + 2 LED plates from Grow the Jungle for a space of 1.2x2.4 (meters) where we have the plants. - We changed the distribution of fans. - We added a temperature and humidity controller. - We added yellow traps. - We moved the plants according to size and space to achieve the most uniform grow possible. Throughout the week, we have been watering in the usual manner, individually for each plant according to its needs. Since we started flowering, we made a change in fertilizers; using the Cyco range, the bottles are practically the same, the only thing that changes is that some bottles are replaced by others, as noted above. Throughout the week, we have been removing all the marked leaves and eliminated several lower nodes (we took the opportunity to make backup copies). The week has gone well, from now on updates will be every 2 days.

MELs_Garden Week 2 From December 24 to 30 This is starting to take shape. We're still using the same watering system. The plants are stretching (not too much, to be honest) and making room for future flowers. It's been really cold these days. With the light ON, we're around 20/21°C and OFF between 16/18°C, and we have the climate controller set up, but there's not much we can do. To prevent the temperature from dropping too much at night, we've disconnected the fans. The humidity is spot on, hovering around 58/60%. Everything else is going well. December 29 After the watering, they woke up splendid today. Since it's cold, we’re adding insulation in the part closest to the outside.

MELs_Garden Week 3 From December 31 to January 6 We are entering week 3 since the cycle change. We did a pretty severe defoliation; it will be the last one for now. We continue with the usual watering routine. It's still very cold, and the temperatures are quite low. Minimums of 13°C, and in the ON phase, we'll be around 18/19°C. For week 3, I see that everything is a bit slow, but we'll see how it progresses. January 5 The cold doesn't let up, and they are feeling it quite a bit; I think they are not developing at 100% or maybe they are a bit behind, and the harvest date will be later than expected. They all look great, very in sync. The 5 are practically identical, 5 little pines 😁 They look strong and robust; we hope the defoliation has a positive effect on them.

MELs_Garden Week 4 From January 7 to 13 First of all, the phone with the camera that we use to take the photos has broken down, and indefinitely we will be taking the photos with mine, the quality is quite inferior but it is what it is. The cold doesn't let up and the temperatures remain at 18°C ON/12°C OFF, the plants are feeling it. Due to the cold, they are not drinking as much and it's harder for them; the watering in 7L pots that we would normally do every 3/4 days is now almost every 5/6, but it is what we have to deal with. The humidity is set at 60% with a +/- of 2% This week I wanted to give them a watering with water + kleanse + dr repair because I have had bad experiences with over-fertilization and I prefer to give them a break. We continue to water the plants individually according to their needs, and you can tell when one is on fire and the other is asking for water. Other than that, nothing to comment on, it's progressing well. January 12 We lifted all the pots trying to keep all the tips at the same level. Some roots are showing through the top of the substrate, so we added a bit of light mix from Biobizz to keep them from being exposed. We also took the opportunity to add a bit of diatomaceous earth to prevent and also to make it a bit harder for the fungus gnat.
