Hello all, I did start new grow with seed from Dutch-passion seeds. name: Auto Think Big light is: Marshydro TS-1000 grow box size: 60x60x140 cm Air-pot size: 50 L cut down to 40 L (aiming for big one 🤣 🍀 ) Soil is: Canna Terra Professional I will upload some photos of the plant and pdf schedule which I use right now. Everything what I learn is from @Mr. Grow It eBook "7_Steps_To_Grow_Cannabis-3rd_Edition" and my own research and mistakes. So hope You can have here some help and example to follow. I mostly use nutrients by Biobizz ( it is available in my region ) and other see photo below. I control humidity and temperature inside tent by setting manually electric timers at power sockets, according VPD guide table (if possible) Soil from Canna Terra is full of nutrients so need to gentle with what and when I'm adding to it. So far every thing is going great :)

growth was 85 days + ( 7-10 days seedling ) crop was all together 165g (initially) *after curing around 140-120g

**i t is the key :D with this Cannaterra Profesional soil which is so rich in nutrients !! it is so hard to add right nutrients. uff ..
next time need to buy less nutrient rich Bio soil. week 11.3
week 11.6 * starting clean water feeding
week 12.2 (2 days before cut)
You can see foxtailing caused by overall stress; nitrogen toxicity, high humidity earlier, and hot summer weather, gave me hard time. (need to change day/night cycle - better to have lamp working at night during a summer)
out of the box
analysing soil and root zone: looks like this size of pot (40 L) was too big for 1 plant, she couldn't take maximum advantage of Air-pot technology. Looking closely root nodes (cone shape) creates only in bottom layer of the pot, not all over the sides. For my next plant I will go back to 12 L or 20 L for maximizing root zone and Air pot technology.
fresh cut: buds looks thick but it is illusion of light; they are a bit fox tail caused by all stress: humidity and hot summer.
drying: first 2 days vents working 24h, later each second hour by 5 days; (do not over-dry) 1st stage of drying took around 7 days humidity around 65-60% * don't blow mixing fans directly on the crops; just let them blow on the wall to create air movement. Space the buds, don't let them stick together.
after 7 days drying:
dry cutting all leaves ect:
buds cutting:
jar curing 62-65% humidity
now they will wait 1-2 months and in first few weeks I will check them and open each day and each 2nd day later.
all together 165g * red jar have main tops and blue jar side/smaller buds. *yes I know, I should have lower temperature in storage, but it is summer. All the best for all growers and free community. Thank You 😀
I did make another mistake. Humidity overnight was too high: 75%-90% just 4-6 hours of high humidity overnight give a chance to create Fungai infection: I had very stuck air circulation and I did realise it too late. Plant with leaves from side to side was clogged up in small box. week 7.1
I did strip leaves which was looking sick from the bottom where humidity was really high. And leaves showing changes where they are touching each other = humid spots week 6.1
Plant showed changes on leaves grey spots and yellow veins, brown spot in the middle, caused by Fungai infection imo.
week 7.4
I did flushing after recognizing Nitrogen toxicity: I got right pH and EC after flush.
week 6.7
Plant show: brown stigmas - probably by overfeeding and stress. I'm worried if she could mature too early ? week 8.3
I'm at 9th week now and 3-4 more to go.
Buds looks nice but they going to foxtail. (probably too much stress) Lets see how she finishes - hope for the best. 😀 👽
My previous Shywalker Haze gave me 164g I believe it is because: strong root system and right nutrient feeding schedule. also strong genetics.
Right now my current plant girl Auto Think Big showed Nitrogen toxicity (very dark glossy leaves)
week 6.5
I'm dealing with it now - just flushed and after flush EC was 1000 pH 6,2 h (6th week)
(week 6.5) it is 40L pot yes I know it is big XD but this plant is called Auto Think Big 🤣 so I'm trying to create big size root zone like in Skywalker Haze 😁
I'm planning to fix pH up to 6,5- 6,6 in soil - and past week it was a lot of heat stress, First week of July was very hot in my place. Also adding 2 litters soil with 400g dolomite on top; just a layer on top of my actual soil in pot. Because of low pH. This was last week temp and humid which I managed to decrease.
So this summer I bought AC for my room. 🤑 During the hot week temp in box was 30-31 C, humid 69% Plant slightly, showed curly leaves because of heat stress and low pH where it is hard to manage Calcium and heat by the plant.
(week 6.5)
also humidity at night was too high so I'm taking out leaves form lower parts where showing spots (fungi or wind burn) . I also did upgrade box with 2x new mixing fans - 15W, they have strong blow (it can be too much for my small box but, Summer is coming so good to have air. week 6.5
week 6.2
week 6.2
week 5.6
*Would like to have bigger box and strong top vent but I need to stay small :D Would love to have AC Infinity CLOUDLAB but in my region it is so expensive !
Nice job so far @Sam Samuel !
looks very happy so far :) me too 😂 😄 🍀 🍀 🍀 🍀 🍀
pdf schedule 4.5
LST and stretching
week 4th pdf schedule 4.1
pdf schedule 3.5
HST !
3rd week (pdf schedule 3.1)
2nd week starting watering with schedule
1st day after srpout
1st week
Also I'm using Mycotrex from Bio-Tabs (Mycorrhiza fungus mix) for soil and root development and addition of Bactrex: bacteria for watering sometimes.
here are nutrients and equipment - essentials imo Learn Your NPK values (bio bizz dont have NPK on labels so I made mistakes before) Adding /mixing from left to right - slowly week by week ( 1/2 or 1/4 dose ) see pdf schedule
for PH and EC meter:
1st error hehe 🤣 First seed had some problems so I started next one:
