Week 2 — Faster Growth, Strange Structure, and More Stable Conditions
Strains: Guava Auto & Triton Biscotto Lime Auto
Planted: August 25, 2026
Grow space: 60 × 60 × 160 cm tent
Medium: Regular pre-fertilized soil
Pot size: 5.7 L
This week, the plants finally started to speed up exactly as I hoped. The difference compared with the first week is very noticeable now, and growth seems to be getting faster day by day.
Overall, I am much more relaxed about the slow start. Both plants are clearly developing, even though they are doing it in very different ways.
🍑 Guava Auto
Guava looks quite good at first glance and is definitely the more normal-looking plant of the two.
My only concern is the stem. I think I may have had the circulation fan running too strongly for a while, and it seems like the plant reacted to the constant movement. The stem looks like it may have been under a little too much mechanical stress.
I have already reduced the airflow, so from now on I just want a gentle movement around the plant rather than having it constantly pushed around.
Other than that, Guava looks healthy and continues to grow steadily.
🥦 Triton Biscotto Lime Auto
Biscotto is still the strange one.
Its growth pattern looks very unusual because it seems to be splitting into two main stems almost from the beginning. Instead of developing as one obvious central stem, the structure already looks like it wants to grow into two separate arms.
I am very curious to see how this develops.
In a way, this could actually make future LST easier because I may not need to top the plant at all. If both sides continue growing evenly, I could potentially work with two naturally formed main arms and let each of them develop their own branches.
For now, though, I am not assuming anything. The plant has looked unusual since germination, and I still have the feeling that the root system may not be developing perfectly. I will simply keep watching how it responds over the next week.
☀️ ENVIRONMENT
The biggest improvement this week is that the environment finally feels much more stable.
Temperature and humidity are now in a range I am happy with, which makes the whole setup feel much more predictable than during the first week.
The light is currently running on a 24-hour schedule.
Watering is roughly once every two days at the moment. I am not using huge amounts of water — just enough to make sure the root zone receives moisture without completely soaking the entire pot unnecessarily.
🍃 Current Thoughts:
So far, I am happy with the progress.
Guava is developing fairly normally, while Biscotto is turning into a bit of an experiment because of its unusual two-stem structure. It may become a problem, or it may turn into something interesting and useful for training later.
For now, I am trying not to interfere too much and simply let both plants establish themselves.
Growth is finally accelerating, the environment is much more stable, and the grow is starting to become a lot more interesting.
Fingers crossed for Week 3!🍀
