Week 3: TrolMaster Chronicles โ Transplanting, Growing Strong, and Thriving in PRO-MIX HP ๐ฑโจ
Hey Grow Fam! Another exciting week has flown by in the grow room, and Iโm 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 thatโs been transplanted is now comfortably settled in 15-liter Autopots, filled with PRO-MIX HP BIOFUNGICIDE + MYCORRHIZAE, and wow, Iโm loving this mix!
๐ฑ Why PRO-MIX HP is a Game-Changer
For those of you unfamiliar with PRO-MIX HP, letโs 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. Itโs 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 characteristicsโno two plants are the same, and I love that!
๐ก๏ธ Environment Update: Temps, RH, and More
Letโs talk about the conditions the girls are thriving in! Weโre sitting at:
โข Temperature: 26.7ยฐC
โข Relative Humidity: 62.9%
โข VPD: 1.30 (I know itโs a bit high, but theyโre handling it like champs)
โข CO2: 800 ppm
โข pH: 6.18
โข TDS: 215 ppm
โข Solution Temperature: 23.2ยฐC
To make things even more efficient, Iโve 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 couldnโt be happier with how theyโre responding.
๐ง Watering and Feeding
At this stage, the plants are thriving with just enough nutrients to keep them happy. Iโve 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. Itโs amazing to see how quickly theyโve adapted!
๐ Transplants Complete โ Progress Feels Incredible!
Iโm super excited with how everything is shaping up! Most of the transplants went smoothly, and the growth weโre seeing is just amazing. The Papaya Zoap is still waiting for its final move, but itโs growing strong, getting ready for the next step. Itโs an honor to work with these geneticsโtheyโre each unique, yet all thriving in their own way. ๐ฑ๐

P.S. Letโs talk about these new Model One LED bars Iโm running. ๐ฟ๐ก Theyโre not just any lightsโthese 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 Iโm saving on energy costs while still delivering top-tier PAR and maintaining a balanced spectrum. Itโs not just about blasting plants with light; itโs about giving them the right light at the right time. By fine-tuning the PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density), Iโm hitting that sweet spot where the plants thrive, and I donโt 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. ๐ฑโจ
This level of control lets me optimize the growth, and trust me, my plants are loving itโjust another reason Iโm thrilled with the Model One setup.
๐๐๐ Growers Love everyone ๐๐๐
