Second run begins. First of all, a big thank you to @SwissKush and @gottagrowsometime for their support.
This time I decided to grow 2 plants in the same box to try to maximize the yield, do some comparative experiments and above all to try as many strains as possible.
These are two indica-dominant strains with similar flowering times, Gorilla Zkittlez and Kosher Cake, both by FastBuds420.
Gorilla Zkittlez diary: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/154730-grow-journal-by-growerar/week/848050
The setup is always the same:
Grow box: 2x2x6 / Vents TT100 with carbon filter / Mars Hydro TS1000 / 10 liter Dwc bucket / Hailea 9610 air pump.
After studying a bit, I have decided that I will keep the lamp fixed at a height of 40cm, to achieve optimal levels of ppfd over the entire surface.
For the Kosher Cake I will use these nutrients:
Tripart (Grow, Bloom, Micro) for soft water by T.A .;
Calcium Magnesium by T.A .;
Final Part by T.A .;
Liquid silicon by Growth Technologies;
Rootbastic by Atami;
Bloom Stimulator by Atami;
PH down by T.A.;
PH down Bloom by Canna;
H2o2.
[DAY 1] - 26/09/2022

- wet the root riot;
- added lamp at 40 cm / 12% dimmer;
- 24/0 light cycle.
[DAY 3] - 28/09/2022
- 24Β° C - 75% RH;
- 24/0 light cycle;
- environmental values ββset with the wifi thermohygrometer between 70% and 80% humidity, by turning the extractor and humidifier on and off;
- 10 am: Kosher has popped out of the root riot cube.
[DAY 4] - 29/09/2022
- 24Β° C - 75% RH;
- lamp at 40 cm / 25% dimmer;
- 24/0 light cycle;
- wet the root riot cube with EC 0 water;
- DWC.
[DAY 5] - 30/09/2022
- 24Β° C - 75% RH;
- lamp at 40 cm / 40% dimmer = 60 watt;
- 24/0 light cycle; next Monday (DAY 8) begin 20/4 cycle;
- wet the expanded clay with EC 0.3 water, 2 times/day, 200ml/day.
[DAY 6] - 1/10/2022
- 24Β° C - 70%/75% RH;
- lamp at 40 cm / 40% dimmer = 60 watt;
- 24/0 light cycle; next Monday (DAY 8) begin 20/4 cycle and 50% dimmer;
- wet the expanded clay with EC 0.3 water, 2 times/day, 200ml/day;
- slight growth compared to yesterday; Monday we start with a light nourishment EC 0.6.
[DAY 7] - 2/10/2022
- 24Β° C - 65%/70% RH;
- lamp at 40 cm / 40%;
- 24/0 light cycle;
- wet the expanded clay with EC 0.3 water, 2 times/day, 200ml/day;
- no roots in DWC yet!
@DeepWaterGrower, well deserved mate. Sponsors galore coming your way. Whoever it will be they'll be lucky. 3 for 3 "awards", is nothing to scof at. Idt anyone has gotten this achievement on GD.
You must have a S..t loada beans now
Hey @growerar,
Thanks a bunch for growing our Kosher Cake Auto, and sharing this diary with us :)
We hope that it was a nice experience, and that you enjoy the harvest!
Have a nice weekend
I feel cheated because I did not receive the February newspaper award for psrte from fastbuds...
have you received the award?
thanks in advance and good smoke
@gottagrowsometime, I think this will remain smaller than her sister. But she is growing well, especially in height and she likes what I insert in the DWC :)
@TintoBrass, hey mate. In this run I had 2 autoflowers in a 60cm x 60cm and with a single TS1000, unfortunately in such a small space I would have difficulty putting two, they would have to be hung at an angle.
Here you see the setup I used: growdiaries.com/diaries/154728-grow-journal-by-growerar/week/867193
The excellent result is due to two things: the long vegetative growth they have had, despite being autoflowering and above all the use of DWC. I recommend you to check out my friend @SwissKush diaries, he has the best diaries in DWC here on growdiaries.
