Hello, Growdiaries Community!๐
Once the taproot was well established, I moved the seedling to a small plastic cup with Terraprofesional substrate, so it could grow a bit more before its final transplant. The warm environment (around 24ยฐC) and high humidity helped the roots develop healthily.โจFinal Transplant to 11-Liter Pot:โจWhen the roots were well developed, I transplanted the plant to an 11-liter pot with Terraprofesional substrate, mixed with Startrex and Mycrotex from Biotabs to ensure a strong root system and healthy growth. This final transplant provides the plant with enough space for optimal growth during the vegetative stage.
Substrate and Nutrients:โจ
Substrate:โจ
The Terraprofesional substrate is perfect for growing both autoflowers and photoperiod strains like the Critical, offering excellent drainage and water retention, ensuring healthy root growth. Itโs enriched with organic matter, providing a well-balanced foundation for your plants.โจ
Nutrients:โจ
Iโll be using the Biobizz Indoor Fertilizer Pack, which provides all the necessary nutrients for healthy growth, including specific fertilizers for root development and flowering. The combination of Startrex and Mycrotex will further enhance root development and promote healthy, vigorous plant growth.
Grow Tent:โจ
The grow is happening in a Cultibox SG Combi 60x60x140 cm grow tent, which is the perfect size for a medium-sized plant like Critical Feminized. It allows me to control temperature, humidity, and light conditions to maintain an ideal environment for the plant.
Lighting:โจ
Iโm using the QBK1500Plus LED for this grow. Here are the specifications:
* Model: QBK1500Plus
* LED Type: SMD LM281B
* Total LEDs: 432 pieces
* Light Colors:
* 3000K (262 pieces)
* 5000K (132 pieces)
* 660nm (34 pieces)
* 760nm (2 pieces)
* 395nm (2 pieces)
* Light Modes:
* VEG Mode for vegetative growth.
* Bloom Mode for flowering.
* Dimensions: 40 x 40 cm
* Power: Adjustable to suit the growing needs (dimmable).
* Input Voltage: 100-240V
* Additional Features: Full spectrum light, energy-efficient, and long-lasting.
Now that the plant is settled into its 11-liter pot, itโs in its vegetative growth phase. Iโm using an 18 hours light / 6 hours dark light schedule and expect it to grow quickly and healthily. Only water when substrate is drying out.
Happy growing, and see you in the next update!๐๐
