Moving into the Forever Home!
It’s been an interesting Week 2! The highlight of the week was definitely the transplanting, which took place right in the middle of the week. The Black Orchid Auto is now sitting comfortably in her final 20L pot.
For the medium, I’m using Floragard Professionell Growmix Organic. I’ve mixed in two EPN 1 PLANT-PACKs as a long-term organic fertilizer. A little pro-tip: I actually pre-watered the soil/fertilizer mix about five days before transplanting. This helps activate the soil life and those crucial mycorrhiza fungi, so the roots have a "living" environment the moment they arrive.
Since the weather outside is currently gray and sunless, she’s spending all her time in the tent under the 80W LED (at about 60%). I’ve also got two small fans running; the light breeze is already doing wonders for her stem, which feels much more stable and strong now. My plan is to let the organic mix do the work—I won't be adding any extra nutrients until we get close to the flowering stage.
She is developing perfectly and looks absolutely top-notch!
Don't forget to check out the Purple Haze Auto on my profile to see how she's handling the transplant!
May the green thumb be with you 💚
