Now entering veg week number 2, so far so good I´d say. Some slight leaf discoloration from rapid growth. I´ll ramp up the watering tomorrow morning to about 400ml per plant and keep the adding root juice and silica until the end of this week.
Root juice IMO is the best bottle out of the entire BioBizz line. This stuff really works. Unlike the BioGrow, which I don´t have good things to say about at all. I will be substituting it with FishMix for this grow. It´s too early to add N, thanks to the allmix bottom layer nutrient buffer.
Instead of AC Infinity T5 humidifier and the 69 Pro controller, I decided to invest in a 14k BTU AC mobile unit from the wonderful German company Klarstein. Should arrive either at the end of the week or early next week. Hoping to stabilize daytime room temps to 26C and with that stabilize the fluctuating VPD as well. Not to mention the QOL improvement to myself. But you know, I am doing it mainly for the plants. 😊
Update follows in a few days.
Update 10. 06.
Time flies, it´s already wednesday and the growth is steady. Watered with 400ml of water, since the soil was almost completely dry.

I´ve discovered "professional" photo mode on my phone, so I should be able to give you better - non AI processed - quality photos.
Update 13. 06.
Height of the plants doubled since wednesday. Their trunk is getting pretty thick considering it´s only end of the 2nd veg week. I´ll start with LST tonight, before they go to sleep. Watered with 800ml of water, but it still looks like they could have taken more than that. Let´s be conservative for now though.
Lights bumped up to 50 % of power and sit 55cm above the canopy.

AC unit arrived yesterday and I´ll set it up today. Starting tomorrow, plants should recieve stable 26°C climate for the rest of their lives. 👍
Edit 14. 06.
I went to turn off the lights last night and realized, that the light above the right plant has been accidentally running at 75 % of power. As a result, the pots dried up quickly. Woke up today to bone dry pots and had to water again. This time each got 1 liter of water. I also added a little bit of activera to help them recover from stress. Right plant took it nicely and grew 1cm more than the plant on the left.
Prepared them for LST in the morning with stakes. Cut off 2 fan leaves from each plant that were touching the mois soil as a result.
Switched the stakes for the adjustable bendies I got from Kaufland store (sort of functions like Amazon) in the afternoon. Trying them out for the first time and I like them more than ropes and wires with clips. Now I will let them recover for a few days from all the stress.
AC wasn´t needed today, because temps outside are like 15°C with rain. Got a nice 21°C temp today in the lung room and 25°C in the tent.
New photos and a video uploaded.

This concludes veg week number 2. I´ll see you next week.✋
