Hydro Autoflower Test – RQS F1 Epsilon

B3ardman420 🌱 Week 1 – Seedling Stage The seedlings have completed their first week, showing steady and healthy growth. The cotyledons opened well, and the first true leaves are developing nicely. So far, everything looks strong and vigorous. Nutrient solution has remained very light, only 0.25 ml/L Terra Aquatica Root Booster, with RO water. This provided a gentle start without stressing the young roots. Environmental data (Week overview): – Temperature: 21.5–28.2 °C (stable range) – Humidity: 55–90% (under the dome up to ~85%) – PPFD: ~330–350 μmol/m²/s at 38% light intensity – CO₂: ~720 ppm average The Spider Farmer system kept conditions stable, with only minor daily fluctuations. These parameters supported a smooth seedling start, with no stress signs or stretching. So far, everything is going according to plan. Excited to see how they will take off in Week 2!

B3ardman420 Week 2 (Sep 20 – Sep 26) 🌱 Weekly Summary The seedlings have settled in nicely during their second week. Two of them are showing steady, vigorous growth, while one is struggling a bit, with yellowing lower leaves. Still, the overall progress looks promising, and the healthy ones are spreading their leaves with confidence. 📊 Technical Details – Nutrients: Only Terra Aquatica Root Booster (0.25 ml/L, very light start) – Additives: Cannazym introduced (0.25 ml/L) to support root health after air pump issue – Water: RO, EC 0.37–0.41, pH kept between 5.7–6.0 – Light: Spider Farmer SF2000 at ~38% power, PPFD averaging 330–350 μmol/m²/s – Environment: 21.5–28.2 °C, humidity 55–90% (dome up to ~85%), CO₂ ~720 ppm 💡 Grower’s Notes One seedling was stressed when the air pump stopped, showing drooping and yellowing leaves. Oxygenation was quickly restored and Cannazym was added to help the roots recover. The other two seedlings are thriving, building a solid canopy for the next stage.

B3ardman420 🌱 Week 3 – Finding Their Roots (Sep 28 – Okt 05) (Scroll down for Hungarian version 🇭🇺) 🌿 Weekly Summary The seedlings have established themselves nicely during the third week. Two of them are growing strong, while one is still catching up after the air pump issue. Overall, root development and canopy expansion look healthy and promising. ⚙️ Technical Details System: 3× 14L (Netto) DWC (separate air supply each) Water: RO, 19–21 °C EC: 0.7–0.9 pH: 5.7–6.0 Light: Spider Farmer SF2000 @ 38% (PPFD 330–350 μmol/m²/s) Nutrients:  • CalMag Pro – 0.3 ml/L → 4 ml  • TriPart Micro – 0.5 ml/L → 7 ml  • TriPart Grow – 0.5 ml/L → 7 ml  • TriPart Bloom – 0.25 ml/L → 3.5 ml  • Cannazym – 1 ml/L → 14 ml Environment: 21.5–28.2 °C / 55–90% RH (dome up to ~85%), CO₂ ~720 ppm 💬 Grower’s Notes After moving each seedling into its own DWC bucket, the oxygenation improvement was immediate. The two stronger plants are spreading wide, while the smallest one is recovering well — new growth is visible, and color is returning. ✨ “Two are racing for the spotlight, one’s catching up — every leaf has its own story.” 🇭🇺 3. hét – Gyökeret eresztenek

B3ardman420 🌿 Weekly Summary The fourth week showed strong and balanced growth. All three plants have responded well to their individual DWC setups, and the root systems are now well-developed. LST training was applied smoothly, and the plants quickly adapted — new tops are rising, and the canopy is spreading evenly across the buckets. ⚙️ Technical Details System: 3× 14L (Netto) DWC (separate air supply each) Water: RO, 20–21 °C EC: 0.8–1.0 pH: 5.8–6.0 Light: Spider Farmer SF2000 @ 45% (PPFD 380–420 μmol/m²/s) Nutrients:  • CalMag Pro – 0.3 ml/L → 4 ml  • TriPart Micro – 0.6 ml/L → 8 ml  • TriPart Grow – 0.6 ml/L → 8 ml  • TriPart Bloom – 0.3 ml/L → 4 ml  • Cannazym – 1 ml/L → 14 ml Environment: 22–27 °C / 60–70% RH / CO₂ ~750 ppm 💬 Grower’s Notes The plants reacted beautifully to LST. Their stems are getting stronger, side branches are catching light evenly, and no stress symptoms appeared. Roots are bright white and actively expanding in the oxygen-rich solution. The overall structure is now well-prepared for shaping in the coming weeks. ✨ “Every tie is a gentle guide — shaping not just stems, but future potential.”

B3ardman420 🌱 Week 5 – Training in Progress 🌿 Weekly Summary (Okt 13-19) The fifth week brought a big step forward in structure and shape. All three plants have adapted well to LST, and the main branches are spreading evenly. Growth is strong and symmetrical, with lush green leaves and vigorous new shoots appearing daily. Training clips were introduced this week — a more practical choice for DWC, since frequent lid lifting is needed for water checks, EC/pH adjustments, and changes. ⚙️ Technical Details System: 3× 14L (Netto) DWC (separate air supply each) Water: RO, 20–21 °C EC: 1.0–1.1 pH: 5.8–6.0 Light: Spider Farmer SF2000 @ 50% (PPFD 420–450 μmol/m²/s) Nutrients:  • CalMag Pro – 0.3 ml/L → 4 ml  • TriPart Micro – 0.7 ml/L → 10 ml  • TriPart Grow – 0.7 ml/L → 10 ml  • TriPart Bloom – 0.35 ml/L → 5 ml  • Cannazym – 1 ml/L → 14 ml Environment: 22–27 °C / 60–70% RH / CO₂ ~750 ppm 💬 Grower’s Notes The LST clips made canopy management much easier, especially for DWC systems where moving the lid frequently can stress the setup. Each plant is showing balanced development — short internodes, thick stems, and rich green color. The smaller one has fully caught up, forming multiple tops. Roots are clean, white, and actively growing — the oxygenation setup continues to perform perfectly. ✨ “In DWC, every bend counts — flexibility is strength in motion.”
