Alpes420 Week 1 - Days 2 to 8 (1/10 to 7/10) 🌱 Growth: On day 2, mid-morning, all four started to peek out, with the shell on and the little stem in a hook shape; by the afternoon, two were already showing green and two were still pushing. By day 3, they were all out, and by day 4, they had long, thin stems and the cotyledons were open; that same morning, the first pair of true leaves appeared. By day 7, those leaves had already surpassed the cotyledons, and on day 8, we closed with the first pair nice and wide and the second one peeking out in the center. One of the four is shorter and has a sturdier stem. The new leaves are coming out a lighter green; we are keeping an eye on it. Environment: This was the most challenging part of the week. We closed the tent leaving only the passive exit at the top and the intake cooler. With the humidifier on a 15/15 timer, the humidity went up to 92% with the light off, so we switched to 15 on/45 off with the light off and 15/30 with the light on. Even so, we had humidity levels ranging from 39% to 92% depending on the outside weather. We ended up using it manually, only when it drops below ~55%. Watering: Day 2: a watering in the morning that wasn't necessary (we didn't note the amount or pH). Day 4: 2 L among the 4 with Deeper Underground (2 ml), pH 6.15, 220 ppm. Day 5: 2 L of plain water, pH 6.25. Day 7: plain water, pH 6.0-6.1. On day 8, the substrate was still moist and we didn't water. Light: Day 4: 11,600 lux (~178 µmol/m²/s). Day 8: we lowered the panel a bit to reach ~13,000 lux (~200 µmol/m²/s). Learnings: The watering on day 2 was unnecessary, and a fixed timer isn't enough to control humidity. Next step: fill with substrate up to the cotyledons to support the stems.

Alpes420 🗓️ Week 2 - Days 9 to 15 (8/10 to 14/10) 🌱 Growth: Stretching week. We started on day 9 with the first pair of true leaves fully open and the second peeking out, still with the long and thin stems from last week. On day 10 we filled the pots with substrate up to the cotyledons and they changed posture: they became firmer with less stem visible. By day 12, the second pair already had the three-fingered leaves open and the third was peeking out in the center, which on day 14 unfolded the first five-fingered leaves. We finished with three pairs of true leaves, the fourth peeking out, and about 11 cm tall. They are looking denser now. On the nights of days 12 and 13, we found them with drooping leaves and dry substrate; with water, they perked up in a few hours. A slight lightening appeared between the veins on the lower leaves; it didn't progress and we are keeping an eye on it. 🌡️ Environment: On day 9 we added a circulation cooler inside the tent; the plants move gently with the air. The temperature was stable, between 22.8 and 25 °C. Humidity stayed almost all week between 50 and 64%, a bit below ideal, with two peaks: 81% on day 11 and 88% on day 12. We are now using the humidifier manually and turn it off when it reaches 65%. A soft smell is starting to be noticeable, for now only inside the tent. 💧 Watering: Day 10: we filled with substrate and watered 500 ml per plant with Deeper Underground (2 ml in 2 L), pH 5.97. Day 12: 500 ml per plant of plain water, pH 5.97 (base water 148 ppm). Dry substrate and drooping leaves. Day 13: 500 ml per plant of plain water, pH 5.90. Drooping leaves again. On days 9, 11, 14, and 15 we did not water. 💡 Light: Day 9: 13,000 lux (~200 µmol/m²/s). Day 10: we lowered the panel and increased to 16,000 lux (~246 µmol/m²/s). Day 12: 80 cm from the panel to the plants. Day 14: the plants grew towards the light and the lux meter showed 18,000; we raised the panel a bit to go back to 16,000.

Alpes420 🗓️ Semana 3 - Días 16 a 22 (15/10 al 21/10) 💪 🌱 Crecimiento: Semana de entrenamiento. Arrancamos el día 16 con cuatro a cinco pares de hojas. El día 18 a la tarde les hicimos LST a las cuatro: acostamos el tallo principal hacia un costado, lo sujetamos con alambre fino al borde de la maceta y giramos las macetas para que la luz llegara mejor a los brotes de abajo. La idea era doblar solo la punta, pero terminamos acostando el tallo entero; igual lo tomaron bien: ningún tallo se quebró, la punta principal giró hacia arriba buscando la luz y los brotes de los nudos de abajo empezaron a subir. Los días siguientes las acomodamos muy de a poco y desde el día 21 las dejamos tranquilas. El plan es dejarlas crecer así y volver a doblar cuando arranque el estirón de floración. Cerramos la semana con las plantas más abiertas y pobladas, con varias puntas a una altura pareja. Las hojas nuevas salen verdes y limpias. En las hojas medias y bajas sigue el aclarado entre nervaduras, más marcado en una planta, y algún borde amarillento en hojas grandes; lo seguimos mirando. Una hoja quedó con un agujerito cerca del alambre, probablemente por el roce. 🌡️ Ambiente: Temperatura entre 22,8 y 25,3 °C. La humedad anduvo entre 46 y 62 %, casi siempre por debajo del 55-60 % que buscamos. El humidificador lo seguimos usando a mano; el día 22 lo rellenamos y dejamos abierta la puerta de arriba de la carpa para que la humedad no se dispare al prenderlo. El olor sigue suave y solo adentro de la carpa. 💧 Riego: Día 16: tercer y último Deeper Underground junto con el primer Top Auto, 2 ml de cada uno en 2 L (1 ml/L). El agua base dio 165 ppm y pH 7,16; con los productos, 300 ppm y pH 7,35; con 7 gotas de pH- llegamos a 6,15. ~500 ml por planta. Drenó un poco a los platos, con pH entre 6,5 y 6,9, y esa agua la tiramos. Día 19: agua sola, 156 ppm, pH 5,9. Los días 17, 18, 20, 21 y 22 no regamos: el sustrato seguía húmedo. 💡 Luz: Bioled 220i, 20/4 (apagada de 12 a 16 hs). Días 16 a 21: 16.000 lux (~246 µmol/m²/s). Día 22: estaba en 16.500 y acercamos el panel hasta 19.000 lux (~292 µmol/m²/s), midiendo desde la punta más alta de cada planta y promediando. 👉 Próximo paso: segundo riego con Top Auto (2 ml/L) cuando el sustrato lo pida, y ver si el aclarado de las hojas de abajo mejora.
