Here we go again! 3rd times the charm!
Really took my time to get this tentful going, but i have learnd from past mistakes that its way better to have the seasonal warmth in the beginning, then at the end of the grow. Plants grew way better when you start later in the spring then from the earliest non-freezing degrees when tent wont reach 25c+ temps.
My harvest from previous grow is running now very very low, low in like "i've been on plain leafes for already a month or so", but even those still do the trick and keep me off the meds.
So now, now was the time to throw in last of the seeds i had from before; for this tentful i'll throw in just seeds from Royal Queen Seeds, as before (check my previous grow, got time lapse videos and all that kinda stuff in it)
As i didn't have so many options left, i threw in the 4 pots an combo of 2x RQS Northern Lights Auto (freebies from ordering CBD strains) and 1x Purplematic and 1x Solomatic.
So yea, im still going CBD heavy and the reason for the whole "hobby" is basicly my own health/mental health, and on the mental side this really does do me wonders, especially on the social anxiety / covid and such.
Gladly i still have some (like 2-3 servings) RQS Stress Killer left, but that is saved just for certain days, i liked it the most from last grow and would say that the RQS Watermelon was a runner-up at 2nd place.
Setup is still the same, so also this tentful will be done with;
Watering system ;
Autopot, in beginning added water from top, to keep soil more moist for germination period (RH ~55%+)
Got "Bubbler" / airstone system inside the water container, to keep the water moving, helps to blend in nutrients, which i still havent started. As that wouldn't really make any difference yet.
Lightning system ;
MarsHydro, two different sized lamps, bigger with adjustment.
Will have to measure Lux amount to see if i have to adjust the hanging level / lower my lamps as they are at highest setting now.
Tent & Peripherals;
SecretJardin HS120, good bang for your buck.
Some random groving meter combo, which i took other metesr away from except RH, i think it had clock and temp also or such.
Then i got my Temp meter which shows date/time/temp/temp-by-wire, and the wire i have at my lamps / hottest part of the tent, so i can follow temp at plant level and also at the "technical side of tent" (obviously on top)
Got one normal indoor fan to blow air around the tent.
And then the camera systems for remote observation of water tank (to know when i have to visit growsite) and another camera for the tent itself from which i can follow the plants / tent information.
Air system ;
Have one inline fan working as good as it can, got coal filter at the end of the line inside the tent, and the other end of the line goes all the way outside.
"Growing plan" ;
I think ill skip any LST or FIM-topping, as in last grow i tested both and the result was 'bout the same with autos.
I would say my tactic is the "just give them what they need and not to mess with em too much".
Then the diary itself ;
#-4 21.7. seeds directly to soil
#1 26.7. 1st RQS-NLauto emerging (left up)
#2 27.7. 2nd RQS-NLauto emerging also (right up), and maybe a 3rd one too (right down)
(cant remember which was in which pot at "lower" pots, have labels in the tentand will check em when im closer by.)
#3 28.7. 3rd one really confirms itself now, so still waiting for the 4th. If i would have to guess, left one is solomatic and right one is purplematic, solo was slow, very slow last time too.
Hey! This just popped up on my main page, And I'm also growing northern light automatic from RQS, just oudtdoors! My seeds just popped out of the soil a couple of days ago, maybe we can help each other out.
Good luck with your grow!

@ElevatedNoob, Dont have an "drip" setup, i think in previus diary i marked Autopotting as "drip" and now its as "hydro" as is really a bit both but still neither.
