Its the beginning of week 3...
I started to add nutes a few days ago and she likes it. The color is much better now and no hanging leaves anymore. Though, she is still not stretching at all...
Guess my abuse during week 2 delayed her a bit, but my space is limited anyway, so lets see what happens.
I added the reflective cover since some algae started to grow on the rockwool, and I hope to minimize it this way.
The new feed was mixed with demineralized water, since my tap water is shit, with over 550 mS
Uploaded 2 more pictures.
The "humidifier" was added at the beginning of the week...
Update:
Ok, The loose connection seemed to be caused by the cheap LCD display. I am now tossing the whole "Brain V1" and building now a "Brain V2"
The new Controller will:
- supply power to the internal fan
- removed the relais since I have a regular timer
- removed the real time clock since I am not doing any time based stuff and I only have 1 ;)
- Finally connected the DHT11 up
- removed the LCD and replaced by an 8 LED strip to show temp (Red) , humidity (blue) and fan status (yellow) - Easier to see also since the LCD was quite dim
- added a 2nd Mosfet so I can control the side light LEDs. This is controlled by a photo resistor which will turn on the 12 V bus if it is VERY bright (todo)

Day 1 of the week: 0411
Its a mars-Hydro-300 and its about 40 cm away
This is one of their older lights (~130 true W) with 60 X 5 W LED...
and I have a few W side lightning (~25 total)
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.
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 ;)
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!
