Starting week 2. Reduced the light now to 20 hours for the early seedling stages. She still gets only water. Growing slowly... added shot 3 for this week I am growing a bit impatient... Grow fast... How are you going to become a big girl? I decided to add some more light to my box. My 12V Power supply is currently running only the fan. It is rated at 20 W, so i decided to add some side LEDs on top. The Fan is drawing about 2 W so i have 18 W left over. With 15W/M my LED strips allow me to add 4" or 1,2 M of them. They are warm white 5050 LED with around 2700K or so. Ok, Snack time... I started to give them some nutes... Lets see if it makes a difference :) The only issue is that i wanted to run my fan non stop and my light on a timer... I might have to finally build my arduino contraption into the box ;) - BUT There is a stupid loose connection somewhere on the board and it messes with my display. Annoying :( Should i add some nutrients slowly? - Answer was yes the Master ;) - so added some Upgraded my Mars with a more silent fan since i still had one around. Only drawback... Changed the airflow from push to pull... Monitoring if that impacts anything. Timestamps: 1 0404 2 0405 3 0406 4 0407 5 0408 added side lightning (~18 W worth of LED Strips), Daily plant shot added..., started to add nutients 6 0409 Swapped the fan for the Mars for a more silent arctic cooling one. I think the color looks better 7 0410 last shot for this week added...

I still have no clue how others manage "real plants" by week 3 if I look at the other diaries... She is still so tiny and small...

I upgraded my bucket with a 14W LED beamer I found in the basement ;)Its perfect for Veg since it has a 6500K and when checked with my Power meter it actually consumed 14 W of light. So now my seedling(s) (I am a bad dad... I only grant the healthy girl direct access to the light... Lets see if she can take it or if I have to move her away a bit...) get an extra dose of light from the side in order to better Veg.

I love it how you just jumped in there and kept going. Small typo: In week 8 you have written the length in inches instead of cm, or your plant shrunk 20 cm's :D.

@goarilla, Fixed ;)

not enough oxygen in the water and water temp is probably too high you need calmag to also bring ph down 5.8 i like a little drift so i start res at 5.6 and let it go 6.0 the knock it back to 5.8

@thrashordie, the small harvest applied to the 3 popcorn buds only... But the total harvest could have been a bit bigger, since I could have waited a week...(which I could not due travel). She had some nice roots going in the end ;)

Nice work man! Not the smallest harvest on here fyi - I think I managed worse on my first grow :p

@Book_of_Thoth, the smallest harvest was aimed at the "Force dry" picture above, where I just dried 3 popcorn buds to test ;)

@rdrunner, definitely bro if your growing in rock wool you need to feed from very early on.

Looks like it turned out pretty great 😀. Patience is always tough but I guess that's part of the learning process. Good luck on your next grow! I just started my second quick one as well.

Hello my old friend! I have only one note to you. After the second week of vegetation, Hydro-Grow should be used. ? Please do not be angry. It must be a technical error. Be alive and healthy!

I started my first grow with one of these right around the same time in soil. Will be interested to see how it compares!
