Keith's German Grow : Zwei Zamnesia Sunset Sherbert Autos

Germany's New Cannabis Cultivation Policy: My Autoflower Grow Setup In a recent policy shift, Germany has implemented a new law allowing each adult to cultivate up to three cannabis plants in their household. As an avid 1st time grower, I've seized this opportunity to set up an autoflower grow operation within my 70x70x160cm grow tent. Lighting and Environmental Control At the heart of my setup is the Mars Hydro FC-E1500 LED light, drawing 150 watts. To complement this, I've installed the complete set of six Adlites from Mars Hydro, including infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), and far-red light spectrums. For environmental control, I've paired an Inkbird dehumidifier with a Spider Farmer humidifier, allowing me to precisely manage the relative humidity (RH) in the tent, which typically ranges from 54% to 60%. To maintain airflow, I have an exhaust fan running at 75%, creating negative pressure, and I've kept the bottom and view window flaps open. Autoflower Germination and Watering I've started my grow with two Sunset Sherbert and one Jack Herer feminized autoflower seeds. After a 24-hour soaking, I've planted them in my setup, which includes a Mars Hydro Drip Irrigation system with a 14-liter opaque bucket and a homemade circulation pump. Upcoming Vacation and Remote Monitoring I'll be away from May 21 to May 29, but I've set up a plan to remotely monitor and maintain my grow during this time. I'll keep the fan at maximum 204 CFM and set the humidity to 48%. The plants are placed on auto-drain pot stands with drip trays, and I'll be using wifi to control the watering and nutrient regimen. Future Improvements and Nutrient Plan Upon my return, I plan to introduce several upgrades and enhancements to my setup. This includes incorporating soil sensors, both analog and smart, and deploying pest strips to prepare for the upcoming hot weeks. I'll also be utilizing Biobizz Nutrients (bioheaven, Topmax, and Biobloom) and considering the addition of Algae-mac or Advanced Nutrients' Bud Candy. Additionally, I'll be integrating an Exhale CO2 Bag and implementing a specific strategy for the Adlites: IR: 15 minutes on before and after lights-off UV: 5-10 minutes per hour during the light cycle Far-red: Throughout the flowering stage Low-Stress Training and Harvesting Once I return, I'll commence low-stress training (LST) using clips and training wire, taking advantage of the two trellis nets already installed in the tent. As the plants mature, I'm confident they'll be able to support a successful horizontal harvest. With this well-equipped and strategically planned grow setup, I'm optimistic about the outcome, even during my upcoming absence. While I'm prepared to accept the potential consequences, I'm confident that my preparations will result in a bountiful harvest upon my return.
