Both RS11 plants are growing steadily and looking healthy. In contrast to the Pink Gelato, her leaves are noticeably thinner, showing a different growth characteristic.
During the week, they’ll likely be transplanted into a slightly bigger pot and will get their full BioTabs treatment – nutrients, beneficial microorganisms, the whole organic setup. I’m excited to see her thrive.
I’ll be away on vacation for a few weeks after this update, so some diary entries may appear a little later. My cousin will be looking after the plants and watering them, and he’ll also take a few photos to keep track of their progress. Everything should continue smoothly while I’m away.
Both plants were successfully transplanted into 3.5 liter pots and received the full BioTabs treatment, including microorganisms and nutrients.
The substrate is based on reused and reconditioned soil with roughly 50% perlite mixed in. The base soil is BioBizz Light Mix.
Since watering is done exclusively with osmosis water, about 7 g of dolomite lime per liter of soil was added to provide proper calcium and magnesium buffering.
This run marks the first time following the BioTabs “just add water” strategy.
The substrate was prepared accordingly and amended with Startrex and Silicium Flash.
Before placing the plants into their new pots, Mycotrex was sprinkled directly into the planting hole and one BioTab was added to each pot.
After transplanting, the leaves were lightly sprayed with Boom Boom Spray.
The substrate was then watered with osmosis water mixed with Bactrex.
Everything went smoothly and the plants handled the transplant very well.
From here on, it’s all about letting the biology do the work.
