1. RDWC: I run a DIY system made of 4 Buckets 17L+separated control/tank bucket (12L operational water per bucket used) fallponic plus underwater current. I don't know why I have made such system I just wanted to be sure that I have included every possible option. I'm not sure but maybe I'll upgrade it to rainponic it's not that hard of a job. I'm not using my 100L reservoir this run becose it needs replacement old one made a small flood in my garden.
2. TENT AC Infinity 5x5
3. Airpump Hailea ACO 388 D 70L/min.
4. Water chiller: hailea water chiller hc-150a.
5. LED GROW light Grand Master Level Tarantula voyager 1500W 2 chanel's plus controller (it will be my first run with this monster it just arrived).
6. INLINE FAN: AC Infinity cloudline S6 carbon filter.
7. CLIP FAN: AC infinity Cloudray S6 3 pcs. For low middle and over the LED air movement.
8. Humidifier AC INFINITY T3 (I don't need stronger one naturally the humidity here is around 65-70%)
9. TENT CONTROLLERS: controller 69 PROX2
10. Germination/humidity dom by AC infinity with germination lamps 40W Ionabeam S11 only for the first 2 weeks before VEG.
DAY 1
Closed in a box hiden in a dark boiler room.
Room temperature 25C
EC 850
RH 90%
Instruments used for measuring:
AC Infinity Hydroponic Meter PRO
AC infinity VPD thermometer
DAY 2 5/6 seeds have start to crack open I guess tomorrow or the day after they will be all ready for the cubes.
DAY 3
ROOM TEMPERATURE 26 C
Relative Humidity 83%
5/6 seeds are showing signs of life. The 6th one is a little bit slower it's cracked as it can be seen on the picture but it refuses to show it's tale. I believe tomorrow it will be ready. On day 4 I'll put them in the "Root Riot" cubes and after that I'll just monitor the RH and RT until I see the sprouts.
DAY4
ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.5
RH 94%
6/6 seeds have germinated so far. Today I'll move them in the Humidity dom where they will stay until they become seedlings and I'll keep them there until they are ready to be moved in the RDWC system and coco coir. In the video I have show my method of preparing the cubes for the seeds next update will be tomorrow probably only for temperature and humidity.
DAY 5
ROOM TEMPERATURE 25-27.
RH 89-95
I can't believe that I'm seeing first sprout today. Maybe this strain is one who can take a little push 🤣🤣🤣 I'll keep in mind and I'll se how much I can push it. Unfortunately I still don't have CO2 for veg and flower but I can try other different little tricks. I'm happy with this seeds obviously 42 Fast Buds are giving a really quality seeds. Let's see what kind of buds will come out of this seeds. I hope tomorrow everything will be sprout out and i will turn on the lamps.
DAY 6
PPFD 120
ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.5
RH 92.1
It's day six 4/5 seeds are successfully germinated. Maybe the next two will pop out but for one of them I'm not so sure. Anyway I have one spare seed that I can pop out for the coco project plus I have one Papaya Cookies Auto for the fifth bucket so that's no problem. The seeds ar under the light AC Infinity Ionabeam S11 on level 3 equal to 115 ppfd plus the DOM extension.
DAY 7
ROOM TEMPERATURE 25C
RH 82%
I have 4/6 successfully germinated seedlings. Tomorrow I'll open up the humidity dom a little bit. It's good to have spare seeds. Now I'll have to plant my spare peace of gorilla cookies and probably one Papaya Cookies Auto (gift) becose my plans were for 6 plants. Anyway this 4 soon will be transplanted in the RDWC flowering pot. Let's see what tomorrow have to say.
DAY 8
ROOM TEMPERATURE 25C
RH 82%
Amazing root development, I wasn't expecting this kind of speed but obviously tomorrow I'll transplant them in the RDWC even before the VEG state. Maybe I'll keep them a few more days when the first set of leaves is all out.
DAY9
ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.1
RH 58%
Today is the last day in the humidity Dom. I delayed the move becose i wanted to have a longer stems and becose my fertilizers got lost in the depo so ill receive them tomorrow. We have very healthy baby's with a lot of tiny roots so it will be perfect to start then from day 10.
DAY 10
ROOM TEMPERATURE 26-27C
RH 70%
EC 115
pH 7
This is the fastest seeds I ever see. I have never transferred seedlings in to RDWC so far, usually I make this procedure around day 17-20. While I was transferring them one of the seedlings accidently snapped a little bit but I hope it was not fatal enough and maybe it will survive, only the time will show, anyway I have another one in coco so I can always transfer it in to RDWC if needed. EC is only 115 for today becose of the little bit of ATHENA BALANCE I dropped in the water, so far the roots are not touching the water so i can add the fertilizers tomorrow while I'm fresh.
DAY 11
Water Temperature 18C
Room temperature 28C
EC 120
pH 7
PPFD 200
RH 70%
They look nice and healthy still not enough signs of roots for picture but so far the seedlings look fresh. One more day in the Formulex+tap water and they will go in the Athena by day 13.
DAY 12
Water temperature 18C
Room temperature 27C
pH 7
PPFD 220
RH 70
AC 240
Everything is going g quick and perfect. So far this run is going smooth as never. I never had root development that quick as this with this seeds. I'm almost in love with them. After a quick summary with my previous runs I decided to double the AC before tomorrow when I'll change the water and I'll replace it with 6.0 pH RO water and the full athena program for the RDWC. So far so good let's see what the Athena nutrients will show after one week.
DAY 13
RH 70
Room temperature 27-28
EC 290
pH 6.1
Water Temperature 20C
PPFD 300
Light cicle 20/4
I couldn't resist to flip the fertilizer to athena. After all as soon as I teach em what its better. Full water change of the tank and new suplements. Formulex is amazing suplement for the first two weeks maybe it can carry most people to whole VEG if it's in soil or coco, but I want the real food in RDWC. So far all the plants have amazing small roots so that means the system work well. Let's see the progress tomorrow, but I beleave in the middle of the week this plants will be already in official VEG period.
DAY 14
RH 70
Room temperature 26C
EC 290
pH 6.0
Water temperature 19.5-20C
PPFD 350-400
Light cicle 20/4
I needed a little bit more light. I don't know how to explain it but its a grower thing and now my seedlings are looking better than the morning. They were looking a little bit "dizzy" if I can use this terminology. So basically in perfect water temperature, perfect fertilizer level and good aeration, there was nothing left beside the light. As I'm saying you can't feed a lot if you don't have enough light. I added the spider farmer SF 1000 EVO over the water container, becose the big fixture is too far from them, but I can't put them under the Voyager, becose my previous grow is in the final week. So now they are on a separate light 🤣🤣 🤣 370-400 PPFD is a little bit much but I beleave they will manage it. After all the plan of this run is to reach 1000 PPFD in the final days.

So far the progress is mainly on roots and some new leafes are coming out. Probably next set of leafes is going to be the first that will mark the veg stage. I have added a little bit of ATHENA clense today and by far notging ha e changed since yesterday.

Light cicle 20/4
As I was expecting most of the job is pre-veg, what I mean is that the results we can see are mostly in root development and ohh boy this is a crazy root spike in just 24 hours. I don't know is it becose of the Athena or just the genetics of the seedling but Im really amazed. In just 11 days from first seedling until today and I'm seeing some crazy root development. I truly beleave that the next set of leaves will be marking the vegetative stage and then we can start the game.

@Herikus, thanks bro I'll follow you to see how is going on. I have two different kind of grow for gorilla one coco and one rdwc and so far this strain is amazing.
@Fast_Buds, I'll be posting regular updates every day guys. Btw it's my first Auto run I was really 50/50 on your FF strains and Auto but I decided to give auto a real chance for a first time with your seeds. Also it will be my first online Cannabis activity. My past activities are not documented even with pictures becose the country I was living (Bulgaria) Cannabis is strictly illegal (10-15 years in jail for growing), so we can say that I'm one free legacy grower now 🤣
