Started 2 Mimosa X Orange Punch seeds in Root Riot cubes which gave me specimen A and specimen B. I bought the seeds directly from Barney's Farm.
I'm using a 32 gallon reservoir with my custom built RDWC/Drip system. General Hydroponics 3-part Flora series is my base nutrient and I'm running it live (Southern AG Garden Friendly Fungicide@5mL/32gallons) and (Extreme Gardening Mykos/sprinkled into the rootzone). I'm using BioRoot to enhance root vigor and Armor Si to increase stem strength, disease resistance, and photosynthesis.
I check pH daily and maintain it at 5.9. The first few days with a fresh solution it will slowly drift upwards but will stabilize after about 3 days (not a problem). When it's drifting I will set it at 5.8 and after 24 hrs it will be in the low 6's. After the 3rd day the pH becomes static, the EC of 1.2 (600 ppm) remains static and the water level is dropping (perfect!) The Southern AG GFF and Mykos keep everything smelling earthy and fresh.
Running the light at 40% power approximately 20 inches from the top of the plants. PPFD Range: 450–550 µmol/m²/s and I measure using the UNI-T light meter paired with the PPFD Meter android app.
Daytime VPD- 0.9/ Night VPD- 0.6 - I find it easier to control 1 parameter (VPD) rather than controlling 2 parameters (Humidity & Temperature).
The little girls are looking healthy and growing fast. Pictures were taken 12 days after the seedlings were placed into the DWC system. Nothing too exciting yet but I'll keep y'all posted! I'll be more thorough when we get to the flowers.
Let's GROW!!!
