26.08.2024 1. RDWC: I run a DIY system made of 4 Buckets 17L+separated control/tank bucket (12L operational water per bucket used) fallponic plus underwater current. I don't know why I have made such system I just wanted to be sure that I have included every possible option. I'm not sure but maybe I'll upgrade it to rainponic it's not that hard of a job. I'm not using my 100L reservoir this run becose it needs replacement old one made a small flood in my garden. 2. TENT AC Infinity 5x5 3. Airpump Hailea ACO 388 D 70L/min. 4. Water chiller: hailea water chiller hc-150a. 5. LED GROW light Grand Master Level Tarantula voyager 1500W 2 chanel's plus controller (it will be my first run with this monster it just arrived). 6. INLINE FAN: AC Infinity cloudline S6 carbon filter. 7. CLIP FAN: AC infinity Cloudray S6 3 pcs. For low middle and over the LED air movement. 8. Humidifier AC INFINITY T3 (I don't need stronger one naturally the humidity here is around 65-70%) 9. TENT CONTROLLERS: controller 69 PROX2 10. Germination/humidity dom by AC infinity with germination lamps 40W Ionabeam S11 only for the first 2 weeks before VEG. DAY 1 Closed in a box hiden in a dark boiler room. Room temperature 25C EC 850 RH 90% Instruments used for measuring: AC Infinity Hydroponic Meter PRO AC infinity VPD thermometer DAY 2 5/6 seeds have start to crack open I guess tomorrow or the day after they will be all ready for the cubes. DAY 3 ROOM TEMPERATURE 26 C Relative Humidity 83% 5/6 seeds are showing signs of life. The 6th one is a little bit slower it's cracked as it can be seen on the picture but it refuses to show it's tale. I believe tomorrow it will be ready. On day 4 I'll put them in the "Root Riot" cubes and after that I'll just monitor the RH and RT until I see the sprouts. DAY4 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.5 RH 94% 6/6 seeds have germinated so far. Today I'll move them in the Humidity dom where they will stay until they become seedlings and I'll keep them there until they are ready to be moved in the RDWC system and coco coir. In the video I have show my method of preparing the cubes for the seeds next update will be tomorrow probably only for temperature and humidity. DAY 5 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25-27. RH 89-95 I can't believe that I'm seeing first sprout today. Maybe this strain is one who can take a little push 🤣🤣🤣 I'll keep in mind and I'll se how much I can push it. Unfortunately I still don't have CO2 for veg and flower but I can try other different little tricks. I'm happy with this seeds obviously 42 Fast Buds are giving a really quality seeds. Let's see what kind of buds will come out of this seeds. I hope tomorrow everything will be sprout out and i will turn on the lamps. DAY 6 PPFD 120 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.5 RH 92.1 It's day six 4/5 seeds are successfully germinated. Maybe the next two will pop out but for one of them I'm not so sure. Anyway I have one spare seed that I can pop out for the coco project plus I have one Papaya Cookies Auto for the fifth bucket so that's no problem. The seeds ar under the light AC Infinity Ionabeam S11 on level 3 equal to 115 ppfd plus the DOM extension. DAY 7 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25C RH 82% I have 4/6 successfully germinated seedlings. Tomorrow I'll open up the humidity dom a little bit. It's good to have spare seeds. Now I'll have to plant my spare peace of gorilla cookies and probably one Papaya Cookies Auto (gift) becose my plans were for 6 plants. Anyway this 4 soon will be transplanted in the RDWC flowering pot. Let's see what tomorrow have to say. DAY 8 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25C RH 82% Amazing root development, I wasn't expecting this kind of speed but obviously tomorrow I'll transplant them in the RDWC even before the VEG state. Maybe I'll keep them a few more days when the first set of leaves is all out. DAY9 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.1 RH 58% Today is the last day in the humidity Dom. I delayed the move becose i wanted to have a longer stems and becose my fertilizers got lost in the depo so ill receive them tomorrow. We have very healthy baby's with a lot of tiny roots so it will be perfect to start then from day 10. DAY 10 ROOM TEMPERATURE 26-27C RH 70% EC 115 pH 7 This is the fastest seeds I ever see. I have never transferred seedlings in to RDWC so far, usually I make this procedure around day 17-20. While I was transferring them one of the seedlings accidently snapped a little bit but I hope it was not fatal enough and maybe it will survive, only the time will show, anyway I have another one in coco so I can always transfer it in to RDWC if needed. EC is only 115 for today becose of the little bit of ATHENA BALANCE I dropped in the water, so far the roots are not touching the water so i can add the fertilizers tomorrow while I'm fresh. DAY 11 Water Temperature 18C Room temperature 28C EC 120 pH 7 PPFD 200 RH 70% They look nice and healthy still not enough signs of roots for picture but so far the seedlings look fresh. One more day in the Formulex+tap water and they will go in the Athena by day 13. DAY 12 Water temperature 18C Room temperature 27C pH 7 PPFD 220 RH 70 AC 240 Everything is going g quick and perfect. So far this run is going smooth as never. I never had root development that quick as this with this seeds. I'm almost in love with them. After a quick summary with my previous runs I decided to double the AC before tomorrow when I'll change the water and I'll replace it with 6.0 pH RO water and the full athena program for the RDWC. So far so good let's see what the Athena nutrients will show after one week. DAY 13 RH 70 Room temperature 27-28 EC 290 pH 6.1 Water Temperature 20C PPFD 300 Light cicle 20/4 I couldn't resist to flip the fertilizer to athena. After all as soon as I teach em what its better. Full water change of the tank and new suplements. Formulex is amazing suplement for the first two weeks maybe it can carry most people to whole VEG if it's in soil or coco, but I want the real food in RDWC. So far all the plants have amazing small roots so that means the system work well. Let's see the progress tomorrow, but I beleave in the middle of the week this plants will be already in official VEG period. DAY 14 RH 70 Room temperature 26C EC 290 pH 6.0 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I needed a little bit more light. I don't know how to explain it but its a grower thing and now my seedlings are looking better than the morning. They were looking a little bit "dizzy" if I can use this terminology. So basically in perfect water temperature, perfect fertilizer level and good aeration, there was nothing left beside the light. As I'm saying you can't feed a lot if you don't have enough light. I added the spider farmer SF 1000 EVO over the water container, becose the big fixture is too far from them, but I can't put them under the Voyager, becose my previous grow is in the final week. So now they are on a separate light 🤣🤣 🤣 370-400 PPFD is a little bit much but I beleave they will manage it. After all the plan of this run is to reach 1000 PPFD in the final days. DAY 15 RH 70 Room temperature 26C EC 290 pH 6.0 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 So far the progress is mainly on roots and some new leafes are coming out. Probably next set of leafes is going to be the first that will mark the veg stage. I have added a little bit of ATHENA clense today and by far notging ha e changed since yesterday. DAY 16 RH 70 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 23C EC 290 pH 6.1 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 As I was expecting most of the job is pre-veg, what I mean is that the results we can see are mostly in root development and ohh boy this is a crazy root spike in just 24 hours. I don't know is it becose of the Athena or just the genetics of the seedling but Im really amazed. In just 11 days from first seedling until today and I'm seeing some crazy root development. I truly beleave that the next set of leaves will be marking the vegetative stage and then we can start the game. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 18 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 Okay two more days and we will be in veg. It's Not like we are not in veg today I just want to keep the update from Sunday to Sunday. DAY 19 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 We are in veg tomorrow so today we change nothing. Tomorrow will be great day.

Week 3 has started well, the plant looks really healthy and I've noticed that it has become thirstier, I've been watering it now every 2 days and I'll give it a 1L water at once with 6.9PH. The only thing which I am concerned about is the height of the plant, I've noticed that it grows only bushier and bushier but the height is almost the same as a week ago, I have done a lot of research and what I have found this shouldn't be anything to be worried about as I am not under/overwatering the plant. But please if someone more experienced grower sees this, let me know if you notice something I don't, all the tips are more than welcome! I've fed my lady twice this week with 1/4 of the recommended dose of nutes, I also gave some hesi booster to her first time this week. I have started low-stress train her this week and it seems to work great. I have decreased the humidity and temperature a bit this week as well (22c and 45%) Week 4 has now started and I will post some pictures at latest by weekend 😎

Day 14 veg: The remaining 4 are doing really well know. Even the #4 has woken up for the fun. 1 is the biggest of the group so far with #2and #3 close behind. #1 is on her 5th node today and I am considering a topping instead of then end over 5 main style i have been trying out. I can afford more height than I thought i could with the autos being slightly smaller than i usually flip them at so grow less in veg. She is also the pot that has the feed pellets in the soil so lets see how she does. #2 is on the outer edge of the light at present but will go under the sp250 soon with her sisters. #3 is a slightly lighter green than the rest so i will watch her in case the pot is not feeding her enough naturally . #4 was the one I wasn't sure would do much but she has settled down now finally andnhss new leaves growing now.i think she will be behind the others in timing only. I am going to germinate the 3 other strains tomorrow to get them into this exotic mix too. Diary to follow !. Be well folks , Welcome aboard and thank you to Exotic for these ladies too.

Plants have grown well this week with only minimal interference. The temperature and humidity are holding at a good place (around 70-72 degrees and 65% humidity). Pretty sure that Demeter was just light burn. We moved the lights back a bit, and new growth is coming in good. Kini has taken the lead and is really taking off. Demeter is recovering, and Alice & Lorraine are 6 days behind but catching up quickly. They are starting to eat/drink more, and it will be time for the first res change this week for everyone. We noticed a few bugs in the basement this week, and may have gone overboard on the diatomaceous earth (the white powder all over everything). Also added another 4-port air pump this weekend, and another 4x2 stone in each bucket.

Just an observation about nutrients one of the 3 pots is coco coir and another 2 pots are soil light mix from plagron . That is why I’m putting nutrients for coco and soil .

Man I had the weirdest dream...and for some reason I wanna put lotion into baskets...🤔. Anyway I'm probably just stressed out cuz beans said I need to start paying rent. It's hard to get a job as a plant so I'm getting desperate. He said I owe him $50,000 a month/friend price. Seems high but it is a pretty luxurious closet. It even has clothes in it. I'm about to go hit the streets and try to hustle up that cash but if anybody wants to help by donating a lot of $ to my cause 'Feed the Leaf' here's my link. https://paypal.me/pools/campaign/110064055993592970 Anything helps... God Bless (blessing is given by the God of your choice but is redeemable at any God's location)

Welcome to week 5 of my Smoothie by Fastbuds diary Growth looks good, stem is still very flexible? but growth looks satisfying. I'm impressed with the growth, almost just as big as my white cheese, which is in 15L soil. Happy and strong plant, smell is low/normal

HAZIRLIK Dolabı yapmak bir aydan fazla ileri sürdü; aydınlatma, havalandırması, iç kaplaması, montajı, elektrik kabloları, fişleri, soketleri, prizleri vb. Tüm bunların ardından, sonunda bitirmem ve kotiledonların görünenlerin görünmediğini gördüm. Burada yaşadığım mücadeleyi okuduğunuzda, heyecanımı ve mutluluğumu paylaştığınızı düşünüyorum… =) //LED'LER// Torch LED'leri kullanıyorum ve bu LED'ler fiziksel olarak oldukça büyük olduğu için, dolapta ciddi miktarda dikey alan kaplıyorlar. Toplam 70 cm'lik aralıklardan 50 cm'ye düşüyorlardı ve toprak birleştirmeyle yaklaşık 40 cm'ye düştü, bu da başlangıç ​​büyümesi için neredeyse hiç yer bırakmadı. Bunu çözmek için Torch LED'lerini plastik yuvalarından çıkardım ve bunları ayrı ayrı boyutlandırılmış ahşap plakaya düz bir şekilde monte ettim. Bunu yaparak yaklaşık 15 cm'lik alandan tasarruf sağladınız. Ancak dolap yapısı ve Torch LED'lerinin kendisi nedeniyle ciddi ısınma sorunlarının belirtileri. //KABİN// LED'leri açtığımda, 26,5°C'lik iç havayı alıp 37–38°C'de dışarıya atıyorlardı. Her lamba bana yaklaşık +4°C'lik bir ısı artışı sağlıyordu. Durum böyle dönemde fan kapsamını artırdım; bu sıcaklıkta yardımcı oldu, ancak daha sonra içerideki nem 35–30'a, hatta %25'e düştü. Ne yeteneğimi düşünürken, 12V çift taraflı bir Peltier modül kullanmayı planladım: soğuklukta bakır borular sararak bunu fan destekli bir sıcaklığa dönüştürdüm. Aslında işe yarayabilirdi, ancak sıcak ortamdan ısıyı uzaklaştırmak için ihtiyacım olan sistem çok hantal hale geldi. O yerde, "Büyüme hayali bitti" dedim ve vazgeçtim. Birkaç gün sonra "Neden olmasın?" diye düşündüm ve dolabı balkona taşımaya karar verdim. Sonuçta, gizliydi - kimse içinde ne olduğunu bilmeyecekti - ve balkon uydu yoluyla mükemmeldi. Dolap balkonunda olacağından, iç kısım ısıdan, yağmurdan, bölgelerden ve diğer zararlılardan tamamen yalıtılması gerekiyordu. Tüm delikleri ve ortamları sıcak silikonla kapatırım. Daha sonra ısıl işlem köpüğü yerleştirdim ve her şeyi bölme filmle kapladım. Tüm bunları yaparken termostat, ısıtıcı, nemlendirme ve vantilatör için hiçbir şey görünmemesi için tüm kablo bağlantılarını da gizledim. LED aydınlatma için tek tek veya hepsi birlikte kontrol edilebilen ayrı lamba yuvaları ekledim. Ayrıca dolap kapağı açıldığında tüm ana LED'lerin otomatik olarak söndüğü ve yalnızca küçük bir 5W LED'in açık kaldığı bir sistemim oluştu. Vantilatörü dolabın sağ üst arka köşesine monte ederek egzozu diğer noktalara yönlendirdim. Vantilatörün gücünde, negatif basınç o kadar güçlüydü ki hava yalnızca girişten katılıyordu - başka hiçbir yerde 0,001 m³ bile hava kaçağı yoktu. (Bunu hava verileri için değil, zararlıları uzak tutmak için yaptım.) //SICAKLIK VE NEM// Dolabı balkona taşındıktan sonra bu sefer ciddi bir soğukluk sorunuyla karşılaştım. Geceleri sıcaklık 8-9°C'ye düşüyor, gündüzleri ise 24-27°C'ye kadar çıkıyor. Elektrikli fanlı ısıtıcılar kullanmak istemedim çünkü havayı çok kurutuyorlar ve tehlikeliler. Peltier fikrinden ilham alarak tekrar düşünürken çözümümü bir PTC ısıtıcı kullanarak buldum. Hava bağlantıları olan iki alüminyum bloktan oluşan bir PTC ısıtma elemanı yerleştirdim ve gelen tüm havayı bu kanallardan mülkler. Sistemi 24,5°C'de açılıp 24,6°C'de kapanacak şekilde ayarladım. Bu şekilde sıcaklık sadece 1,5° tolerans içinde -24,5 ile 26,5°C arasında dalgalandı ve LED sayıları azaldıkça daha stabil hale geldi. PTC'yi termostata bağlayarak ısıtma sistemini tamamladım. Gündüz sıcaklık sorunlarının çözülmesi için, elektrikler 11:45'te kapanıp 17:45'te tekrar açılacak şekilde programladım; böylece 6 saatlik bir kesinti süresini elde ettim. Bu süre boyunca kabin yaklaşık 24°C'lik dış havayı çekiyor, maksimum 27°C'ye ulaşıyor ve ardından tekrar soğumaya başlıyor; tam da bu noktada PTC devreye giriyor. Böylece daha önceki büyük yangının sorunu tamamen çözülmüş olmuştu. Ayrıca nemlendirmeyi termostata bağlayıp %70'e ayarlayarak nem sorunu da çözülürm. Tüm bu süreci 1,5 ayımı aldı ama değdi. 1-2-3. güne kadar tek led 3. günde 10. güne kadar 3 ledide açtım ama bitkide büyüme problemi olduğunu gördüğüm için ışıkları söndürüp tek ışık 40cmden devam ettim.
