Master_Drizzt Transplanting the Ladies The plants were moved into the prepared soil, each in 3.5L pots. Their root systems were very well developed and healthy. The roots were dusted with mycorrhiza before planting. The plants have now been given their names: Plant #1: Keto Plant #2: Ariel The medium is organic hemp soil from Sonnenerde, recycled from the last grow. It was reconditioned with chicken manure pellets, worm humus, dolomite lime, rock dust, and biochar activated with soil microbes. The lamp is set to around 296 µmol/m²/s.

Master_Drizzt Vigorous Growth Both plants are thriving in the substrate. They have been topped, keeping the three strongest upper nodes. The light is now set to 390 µmol/m²/s.

Master_Drizzt Transplant to Final Pots After about 14 days, the plants are showing strong signs of hunger. The 3.5L pots no longer seem sufficient, and the available nutrients have been depleted. Both plants have now been transplanted into 20L fabric pots. They have developed beautifully, with root systems that are fully and evenly established. A light dusting of mycorrhiza was applied to the roots before moving them into their new home. The light intensity has been adjusted to approximately 478 µmol/m²/s. The plan is to apply about one week of light LST (low stress training) before flipping them into the flowering stage.
