🧀 MAC n Cheese - Cream overkill

AlpenZilla 🌱 Veg – Week 1 complete The first week of veg is done – all three MAC n Cheese are off to a great start, showing healthy and uniform growth. 🌱 📌 Fun Fact: One of the girls was literally spinning like a propeller last week – but she's developing completely normally now. In fact, she's looking strong, vigorous and stable. :flexed_biceps:🧀 Not much else to report this week – but of course I’ve got some fresh pics for you! 📸

AlpenZilla 🌿 Veg – Week 2 complete Another smooth week – everything is growing steadily and evenly. 🌿 📌 Worth mentioning: With Plagron Lightmix, I can finally measure the drain EC reliably – much better results than in previous grows so far. Next up: transplanting into the big pots – let’s see how well they handle the move.

AlpenZilla 🗓️ Veg – Week 3 Complete This week marked a small but important milestone in the grow: ✔️ Plants were topped ✔️ Lower growth removed (light lollipopping) ✔️ Transplanted into the final 15L fabric pots – root development was much further along than expected. A very pleasant surprise! 📌 First time using: Great White Mycorrhiza – transplanting went incredibly smooth, and the plants showed no signs of stress. Definitely planning to use this again.

AlpenZilla 🗓️ Veg – Week 4 complete (2 days late 😅) Nothing but good news this week: The 15L pots are already fully rooted after just one week – much faster than expected. The plants are looking healthy and full of energy 🌿 I’m still going very light on the nutrients – currently at about 50% of the Advanced Nutrients schedule. Still, they’re clearly starting to take in more – you can feel the momentum building 🚀 Regular LST has also paid off – the structure is opening up nicely, staying compact and well-exposed to light 🔧🌱 And here’s a major milestone to wrap up veg: I switched to 12/12 right at the beginning of Week 5 – flowering phase is officially on! 🌸

AlpenZilla 🌸 Week 5 Complete – First Week of Flower Phase The light cycle has been switched to 12/12 since the start of the week. No clear signs of flowering yet, except for a slight preflower showing on the Seriotica. However, the stretch has definitely kicked in: 📏 Current height: • Seriotica: 42 cm • Cherry MAC: 46 cm • MAC n Cheese: 50 cm MAC n Cheese is stretching nicely and looks strong – just like the rest of the tent. 💧 Watering & Feeding • 6 L per plant every 3 days • Feeding at ~50 % of the Advanced Nutrients schedule • Input EC: ~1.3 🔍 Drain EC readings: • Seriotica: 1.1 • Cherry MAC: 1.0 • MAC n Cheese: 0.92 Still very happy with the medium mix (Plagron Lightmix + Coco) – especially because the runoff EC is consistently measurable and reliable. Looking back, I probably could’ve flipped to flower a week earlier – the tent is really filling up now! 😄
