Less than 1m² (10ft²) to grow 12 plants in hydroponics.. this is my mini indoor scrog garden.
Thankful for the 15 free Critical seeds RQS sent me, I've decided to post their progress in this grow log.
Sorry I jump in at week 2 of flowering, next grow I will log from germination.
15 seeds were planted on Christmas evening
All germinated within 72hours (I use Eazy Plug propagation slabs & Eazy Blocks)
The 12 strongest ladies grew for 28 days before switching light to 12/12
Pre flowering took 18 days
First signs of bloom were 10 days ago
So today's photo's are bloom day 10
Hydroponic system used is Platinium Hydrostar 80
Drippers water 4 times during day time (2 minutes every 3 hours)
A Bluelab Guardian Monitor monitors water PH, EC and temperature.
I have a dehumidifier running 24/7 to keep humidity below 50% at all time. It's a Qlima D612.
Condensation water runs off into the reservoir.
2 Monkey Fans from Secret Jardin provide air circulation underneath and over the foliage.
The heat lamp on the top left doesn't light up, it only radiates heat.
It is set to warm up during night time so temperature doesn't drop. And it sets off the thermostat so even during night time the air gets refreshed from time to time.
Don't mind the CO2 sensor in the background, these plants will grow without any added CO2. Plenty of cool fresh air outside to use in winter time.
I only add CO2 during summer when the grow tent is a closed system, cooled by AC.
So far everything has gone perfectly.
I'm planning on updating this log once a week.
@Psilocubensis, Although they were cultivated in hydro, people who tasted my critical thought it was cultivated in soil. The aroma of the buds was also rather earthy. When grinded it smells more spicy, some of the most resinous buds even hashy, the denser flowers skunky. I would say the terpene profile was more towards herbal(pine than fruity or citrus. Too bad I haven't got any left, that stash was gone in no-time. Only.a week left before harvesting and filling the pots with something different : )
