🌱 Welcome to my new diary, this time I decided to grow three autoflowers by @Fast_Buds, Purple Lemonade (2) and Blackberry (1). I want red flowers and winter is coming, so that will make things easier, I hope!
⚙️ As always I'll grow these seeds in a DWC setup, Vents TT125 (with a RAM 125 carbon filter) for air extraction and Hailea air pump!
They will grow in a 90cm x 90cm grow box, under a 150 watt lamp during the veg stage and 200 watt during the flowering stage, with a 20/4 cycle from seed to harvest.
🍔 As regards the feeding regime, I will use the @xpertnutrients line. Already used it on autos with excellent results.
🎮 I'll use my Tent-X by @TrolMaster_Europe to check the following parameters: TEMP-RH-CO2-PH-PPFD and Smoke detector. Moreover it will help me to set the light and dim them remotely.
Special mention for the PH probe, the CO2 and PPFD meters, real jewels (unfortunately the EC probe doesn't work properly and I won't use it).
💧 I'll use a single 30 LT DWC pot for the first three weeks, then I'll move them in a 10 LT DWCs each. That method will help me to manage better this sensitive stage, keeping an eye on the values of a single bucket.

🗓️ WEEK 1 / DAY 1-7 (from dry seed)
[DAY 1]
🌱 Seeds in root-riots, then in the bottom of the net-pots with some clay around;
💧 Watering with some drops of tap water (200 PPM) on root-riots twice/day;
🌙 Dark for the next 24 hours.
[DAY 2]
⚡ Light: 15 watt - 50 cm;
💧 Still watering twice/day trough the clay with a few drops of tap water. Meanwhile I inserted 30 LT tap water into the DWC, which should help with moisture in the root zone and lead the roots into the pool;
🌱 After 24 hours the seeds seem to germinate.
[DAY 3]
🌱 Something is moving, tomorrow we'll have nice seedlings;
💧 Watering with 10 ml tap water twice/day.
[DAY 4]
⚡ Light: 50 watt;
🌱 Seedlings are here;
💧 Watering with 10 ml tap water twice/day.
[DAY 5]
🌱 They are growing well;
💧 Watering with 10 ml tap water twice/day.
[DAY 6]
🌱 Filled the net-pots with clay;
⚡ Light: 75 watt;
🍔 I got the @xpertnutrients line, excited to use it again! First touch of Master root on the clay (1 ml/L);
💧 Watering with 10 ml blend twice/day.
[DAY 7]
🌱 Good growth in the last 24 hours. Both Purple Lemonade have a long root coming out of the net-pot;
💧 Watering with 10 ml blend twice/day, I'll start giving them the full blend nutrients tomorrow.
