Tangie ( Royal Queen Seeds )

Hey folks, day one of my second grow this year. My first plants were also both from RQS. I grew a Wedding Cake Auto (115g after curing) in the exact setup I'm using now and a Quick One Auto (25g after curing) on the balcony. I like the flavour of the Quick One better, as it has a nice lemony smell/taste. The Wedding Cake Auto smelled strongly of diesel at the beginning and has a very strong woody/earthy flavour even after curling. From my point of view, it doesn't have much to do with wedding cakes, but the effect is very creative and energising for both strains. Now I'm going to try a photoperiodic one, as my setup can show off all its advantages there. I have an instance of HomeAssistant running on my NAS and have integrated all sensors and actuators via the network. A surveillance camera in the box helps me to make decisions regarding possible cuts and LST steps in advance. I also take a single photo of the plant every 30 minutes so that I can watch the growth in fast motion. In my first grow, I had a very simple camera from TP-Link (C100), which was sufficient for monitoring but did not produce presentable images. I made a few more changes in the box before I started (not that you know the previous version ;-)). I now have a completely vertical structure for the ventilation system with rubber couplings and also a turntable under the pot tray. I have approx. 3 cm pebbles in the potting tray for drainage, two approx. 20 cm long wicks are threaded through the bottom of the planting bag so that the plant can get the drainage back. I'm looking forward to this diary and will try to show you a few pictures of my setup in the next entry. Until then, however, I'll wait for the seeds to germinate. Greetings
