This week started with a milestone: transplant day. The little Purple Kush was ready to leave her starter pot behind and step into her first real home – a 3.5 L production container. Nothing extravagant, no decorative fabric pots or “Instagram gear.” Just a simple, practical setup with coco/perlite 70/30. Because here, it’s not about looks – it’s about results. To make the move stress-free, I used the “pot-in-pot” method. It’s as simple as it gets: place the small pot into the bigger one, fill around it, pull it out, and you’re left with a perfect socket. Then it’s just a matter of gently tapping the bottom, sliding the seedling out with the rootball intact, and dropping her straight into the new slot. No torn roots, no drama. The medium was freshly buffered and still moist, so I skipped watering. Instead, I let the roots dig in and claim their new space. And it worked – four days later, Purple Kush looked like nothing happened. Wide leaves, clean growth, zero signs of stress. Sometimes simplicity really is the secret. By the end of the week, two things caught my eye. The plant started stretching a bit – trading some stem thickness for vertical gain – and at the same time, it became clear just how much potential she holds. So I decided: no more waiting. It’s time to flip the switch. Next week, we go full rocket mode. Photoperiod stays at 16/8, but PPFD jumps to 750–800 µmol/m²/s. The environment remains steady: 28 °C by day, 18–21 °C by night, 60–65% RH. To close this week, I gave her the first proper feed: a balanced mix with potassium at about twice the nitrogen, phosphorus kept lean, K boosted with potassium sulfate, plus 1 ml/L of Canna MONO for micros. Final numbers: EC 1.1, pH 5.8. A soft intro. The next irrigations? Pure rocket fuel. Purple Kush is settled in, comfortable, and about to be pushed. The goal is simple: take this tiny setup and squeeze out maximum performance. Technical Focus: Stage: BBCH 12–14 (first to third true leaves). Environment: 28 °C day / 18–21 °C night, 60–65% RH. Light: Photoperiod 16/8, PPFD ramped up to 750–800 µmol/m²/s. Medium: Coco/perlite 70/30, freshly buffered. Pot size: 3.5 L production container. Fertigation: EC 1.1, pH 5.8. K:N ratio ~2:1, light starter feed with potassium sulfate + Canna MONO micros. Focus: Smooth transplant → root expansion → prep for accelerated veg under higher light intensity.
