#1 Grow

Panchestein End of week 1. The plant is happy and growing very fast. The nutrients are low and diluted so it grows quickly but keeping in mind not to overfeed it.

Panchestein We finished week 2 and the plant is growing at an encouraging pace. The soil is doing a spectacular job and in a few days we will finish feeding with deeper underground from top crop to switch to top veg pH 6.8. You’ll definitely see it in its new pot next week.

Panchestein Week 3 of vegetation is over. The plant was transplanted to its new 20 L pot. This week I only watered with mineral water at pH 6.8 to avoid using nutrients while the plant is stressed from the transplant. Next week I will start watering with Top Veg (Top Crop). The temperature is still high in my indoor setup due to the strong atmospheric heat, but the pot retains water better and it’s not necessary to water frequently. The ventilation system helps cool the plants down.

Panchestein We are now in week 4 of my first grow. The plant is happily dark green and has a slight aroma with several new side branches. The heat in my indoor setup is still a problem, and that's why the upper leaves are suffering from the heat of the light (next week will be cooler, and I hope to see good growth results). I'm feeding it with Top Veg at a rate of 4ml/l, bringing the solution to a pH of 6.5, which seems to be working well for the plant at this moment.

Panchestein Week 5.. we start a week with high expectations. The plant is growing strong after topping it. Soon I will use LST with trellis nets to control the height and produce a wider plant that absorbs a good amount of light. The pH has dropped to 6.3 for nutrient absorption in that range. The next update will be on a much more controlled plant adapted to the indoor setup I have. Cheers.
