March 18, Monday: * Top watering was done with the water in the reservoir, paying attention not to wet the root riots. * In the afternoon: * I noticed a floating transparent mucus-like substance in the reservoir. When I checked the air stone, it was completely surrounded by it. I'll investigate whether this is harmful bacteria. I learned it's white algae; some say it's beneficial. I didn't like its appearance, so I'll remove it. * After cleaning with a brush, I soaked it in bleach, then brushed it again, boiled it, passed it through bleach again, then waited 1 ml of H2O2 per liter in H2O2 water, and they worked in H2O2 water. After drying, they were reattached. * The reservoir was emptied halfway, and 80 ml of H2O2 was added. After a few hours, air stones were removed, and a cup of bleach was run with water, then emptied. It was wiped with a clean cloth soaked in bleach and rinsed with a clean cloth. * Hosepipes were wrapped with black tape because light might leak through the air pipes and between the clay stones, and two cardboard pieces with holes in the middle were placed on top of the pot. * After reservoir cleaning, top feeding was done. ppm: 350 pH: 5.8 * I'll take photos after removing the cardboard. * 22:00 * Reservoir was filled with 40 liters of purified water and 80 ml of H2O2 * Don't use the company's pH reducer. It forms crystals in the reservoir. * Use beneficial bacteria. During the veg and flowering stages' first two weeks. March 19, Tuesday: * Two small, slightly nutrient-rich waters were taken, ppm 350 pH 6.5 * The reservoir became 75 liters. * 10 ml of H2O2 was added. * Top feeding was done at 14:00 (light nutrients). * Top feeding was done at 01:00 (light nutrients, ppm 290, pH 6.0, 18 degrees). * I saw white root-like things on the RR; suspecting mold, I'll place a piece of clay stone under each cardboard. * Since the pH of the reservoir is 6.2, I'll add 3 ml of white vinegar. It became 5.9. * They were sprayed after the lights were turned off. March 20, Wednesday: * When I woke up, there were brown spots on the leaf tips of number 1, and it wasn't facing upwards. I raised the lights and today I'll water it for the last time with the voodoo juice and mineral water I recently bought, then I'll wait for two days. I'll lower the water level by 10 liters. * 370 ppm * 5.9 pH * (pH, which was 6.3, was lowered to 5.5 with 3 ml of vinegar) * Since vinegar is harmful, after a round with just pH-adjusted water, I top watered with light nutrients + pH-adjusted + voodoo juice. * I transferred the mother plant to a 2.5-liter pot. * I transferred the experiment with the damaged leaf to a clay stone; it might replace number 1. I transferred the other experiment to a larger pot. * pH-adjusted + voodoo juice added plain water was given to those in the soil. * The least damaged of the other four plants were replaced with Plagron Bat Mix soil and watered with voodoo juice. * I top watered the spare clay stone; ppm 330 pH 5.9. March 21, Thursday: * Top feeding was done with light nutrients and pH-adjusted. * Four sick plants were removed from RR; their bare roots were planted in Plagron Bat Mix soil, pruned, and Pro Roots were added. * I swapped the spare with number 1. * I drew 10 liters of water from the reservoir, leaving 65 liters; 50 ml of 50% H2O2 was added to it, left to run for 1 hour, then drained, and the system was thoroughly cleaned. It was filled with fresh drinking water. * Top feeding was done with pH-adjusted light nutrients. * Two of them have visible roots; I'll continue top watering until all have roots. March 22, Friday: * They all have roots. * The reservoir seems to be leaking, but I couldn't find from where. It might be through transpiration, as no water accumulated when the fan was directed towards the buckets. * It's most likely transpiring because when I directed the fan towards the buckets, no water accumulated. * Nutrients were added to the reservoir: * 50 lt/5ml cal-mag Lt/0.1ml * 50 lt/12.5 ml micro Lt/0.25ml * 50 lt/12.5 ml grow Lt/0.25ml * 50 lt/10 ml bloom Lt/0.2 * 50 lt/50 ml voodoo juice Lt/1ml * 50 lt/50 ml fulvic acid Lt/1ml * ppm: 190 * pH: 5.9 * Temperature: 20°C * With 5 liters of nutrient-rich water, ppm reached 230, and the water reached 55 liters. * Everything is progressing nicely. * CO2 is on. March 23, Saturday: * The pH had risen to 6.2; I waited at that level for a while, then at 17:00, I added 1 ml of pH down and lowered it to 5.5 pH. However, it might rise after some time. My aim is for it to be 5.8. (It rose to 5.9, then after a few hours, it dropped to 5.8) * pH down raised the ppm by 5-10 points. * There's a water leak only in the main bucket, but the pipe entries weren't wet; it might be due to rapid transpiration from the ice bottles. There's not much water loss. I can recover the loss on a daily or weekly basis; it's not important. * New cardboards were put in place. March 24, Sunday (2nd week): * I'll swap number 1 for a few days. * I won't do top watering (roots are in the reservoir). * The mother plant and number 4 have slight burning signs on the old leaf tips. If it doesn't progress, it's not a problem. * At 23:00, * The dimmer was increased from 25% to 50%. * Light distance: 50cm. * CO2 was turned off. * A timer was set to run every 60/15 minutes; during this time, the vent will be open. (It was tried, and no progress was seen; on the contrary, it reduces humidity. The outside of the tent is filled with fresh air, and cold air enters from under the tent as warm air exits.) * CO2 will be started in the third week. * Those in the soil are developing faster :/ March 25, Monday: * Except for the mother
