Week 1 — Slow Start, New Setup, and First Plans
Strains: Guava Auto & Triton Biscotto Lime Auto
Planted: August 25, 2026
Grow space: 60 × 60 × 160 cm tent
Medium: Regular pre-fertilized soil
Pot size: 5.7 L
Both seeds were planted on August 25th and are now slowly settling into their first week.
Guava Auto was the faster starter and emerged around 4–5 days after planting. She is currently looking healthy and has started to develop steadily, although growth is still naturally slow at this early seedling stage.
Triton Biscotto Lime Auto took a few extra days to emerge. One of the cotyledons looks slightly damaged, but the plant is alive and continuing to grow. I will keep things simple and avoid unnecessary stress while she establishes her roots.
Transplant Plan
I am planning to transplant Biscotto into another 5.7 L pot that is already prepared underneath the current one. It contains regular pre-fertilized soil as well.
The goal is to make the move as gently as possible once the plant is stable enough. I am not trying to overcomplicate the grow with expensive products or a perfect laboratory setup. I just want healthy plants, steady growth, and a good result with the equipment I have.
Tent Setup
The plants are now in a 60 × 60 × 160 cm grow tent. It is a small space, but it should be enough for two plants if I keep them compact and train them carefully later.
The setup includes a COSMOS 120 W LED panel, ventilation, and a carbon filter. I am still learning how to balance light intensity, temperature, airflow, watering, and noise from the extraction fan.
Training Plans
Later in the grow, I would like to use LST to keep the canopy low, open the structure, and give the lower branches better light exposure.
I am also considering trying some HST or topping, depending on how quickly the plants grow and how healthy they look. I have topped a plant once before, but I may train one plant more aggressively and keep the other one simpler, so I can compare the outcome.
Goal
My main goal is healthy growth and the best yield I can achieve by learning, experimenting carefully, and using the available space and equipment well.
I genuinely enjoy the process… setting up the tent, watching the plants develop, testing techniques, and learning what works. For now, patience and stable conditions are the priority.
