The tca seed germinated in 24 hours then put it into Rockwool , her new home . First time growing solo. My first attempt at rdwc
I am so joyed with this grounding experience .
There is much knowledge so much information and I have little understanding this far but I love to read and I love caring for plants and always hope to help them be in their best environment however this is proving tricky .what a fantastic adventure this will is I look forward to see what “ Dialed in” looks ! I’ll be making mistakes and doing “the wrong things “ This is how I learn ,just stay with me ! I will be successful
Also I’m no writer soooo..
I used the full feeding chart before I found some key information such as start minimum with nutes and increase as she responds and she responds immediately wow … she is amazing full of life and love
On November 10th I noticed my lst top has been clipped by the tie I had holding it lesson learned on to the next
This beautiful TCA has been so kind and patient with me wow what a wonderful joy this is
I am learning so much about nutrition not just with these gorgeous givers but applying the knowledge to humans and our own nutrition adsorption .
Interesting … let’s see what happens next 🙃
She grows sooo fast … sooo fast .
I can only imagine what her best self will look like if she’s looking this good at the will of my early hand . What a beautiful experience this is probably because this is my first Green guardianship but I almost feel Obsessive with her wellbeing
There’s no end to knowledge
And I have planned on swimming this river
So let’s continue these new Neural pathways of our magnificent minds . Find some ground and recenter .
Also I seen some white pistols got jacked up annnd switched to Cronk Clyde nutrients(the flower part) reading up I could have waited another week maybe.
Such a blissful adventure this is

With ball valves to control the water height in grow bucket 320gph sub pump in the Reservoir bucket then to water chiller back to grow bucket large enough dependable oxygen pump for grow and reservoir water oxygenation I also alternate Southern Ag GFF and Hydro guard let’s go!

December 10th
Thirsty girl !
Hope you all enjoy the day !
December 11th
Checked some lst spots and did some tucking . I’m leaning the importance of early trimming and defoliating. Could have saved me a lot of time spacing and tuckings although I really enjoy the amount of peace and grounding that gardening brings .its such a blessing
To be able to feel this experience .
Well until tomorrow ….

Week 9
December 23rd
Hooked up the microscope took some shots.
Getting the dry room engineered and just
trying to stay at least a step ahead .
This rDWC adventure has been tricky indeed.
I’m losing balance somewhere if you read the leaves up close you can see some “signs” and she has about a week left ish before we start the finish up process for harvest
December 24th
She has slowed down on nutrient consumption and water uptake
December 25th
I’m at the res change time .sitting at an EC of 1.0 . I have been adding ph distilled water for keeping water levels up and diluting while the vpd went up idk I’ll see what happens next and eventually be able to spot issues early on with better consistency. Just self notes I guess.
