Week 3: TrolMaster Chronicles β Transplanting, Growing Strong, and Thriving in PRO-MIX HP π±β¨
Hey Grow Fam! Another exciting week has flown by in the grow room, and Iβm thrilled with the progress! We kicked off Week 3 with our first set of transplants. The Gorilla Melon was transplanted at the end of the week, while the Papaya Zoap is still patiently waiting for its turn to shine. Each plant thatβs been transplanted is now comfortably settled in 15-liter Autopots, filled with PRO-MIX HP BIOFUNGICIDE + MYCORRHIZAE, and wow, Iβm loving this mix!
π± Why PRO-MIX HP is a Game-Changer
For those of you unfamiliar with PRO-MIX HP, letβs take a closer look. This soil provides superior drainage and aeration, thanks to its high porosity. The addition of fibrous peat moss and coarse perlite creates an ideal environment for water flexibility. Itβs been perfect for the girls as they transition into their final homes. Plus, the biofungicide and mycorrhizae are doing wonders for root development, giving them all the support they need for vigorous growth. The plants are showing off a beautiful, vibrant green, each with its own unique characteristicsβno two plants are the same, and I love that!
π‘οΈ Environment Update: Temps, RH, and More
Letβs talk about the conditions the girls are thriving in! Weβre sitting at:
β’ Temperature: 26.7Β°C
β’ Relative Humidity: 62.9%
β’ VPD: 1.30 (I know itβs a bit high, but theyβre handling it like champs)
β’ CO2: 800 ppm
β’ pH: 6.18
β’ TDS: 215 ppm
β’ Solution Temperature: 23.2Β°C
To make things even more efficient, Iβve adjusted the light height, keeping the PPFD around 360 to 400 to save on energy. These beauties are still soaking in the light perfectly, and I couldnβt be happier with how theyβre responding.
π§ Watering and Feeding
At this stage, the plants are thriving with just enough nutrients to keep them happy. Iβve kept things simple with a balanced solution, ensuring everything stays within the perfect range. The PRO-MIX HP, with its mycorrhizal fungi, is really helping with nutrient uptake and boosting overall health. Itβs amazing to see how quickly theyβve adapted!
π Transplants Complete β Progress Feels Incredible!
Iβm super excited with how everything is shaping up! Most of the transplants went smoothly, and the growth weβre seeing is just amazing. The Papaya Zoap is still waiting for its final move, but itβs growing strong, getting ready for the next step. Itβs an honor to work with these geneticsβtheyβre each unique, yet all thriving in their own way. π±π

P.S. Letβs talk about these new Model One LED bars Iβm running. πΏπ‘ Theyβre not just any lightsβthese are full-spectrum beasts designed to give my plants exactly what they need at every stage of growth. The real magic, though? The dimming feature. With just a quick adjustment, I can dial down the intensity without sacrificing the quality of the light. This means Iβm saving on energy costs while still delivering top-tier PAR and maintaining a balanced spectrum. Itβs not just about blasting plants with light; itβs about giving them the right light at the right time. By fine-tuning the PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density), Iβm hitting that sweet spot where the plants thrive, and I donβt have to run the LEDs at full power. So, while I save a bit on electricity, my plants still get the perfect environment to reach their full potential. π±β¨
This level of control lets me optimize the growth, and trust me, my plants are loving itβjust another reason Iβm thrilled with the Model One setup.
πππ Growers Love everyone πππ
