ChubbyBudBros I will be trying my first hydro shallow water culture grow with Stress killer automatic CBD.
I've made my own DIY hydro bucket using a 10L paint bucket, a net pot and an air pump I got from Amazon.
For nutrients I will be using Terra Aquatica Tri-part with some additional Bio Bizz CalMag.
I've already put the seed in water for 24 hours and it started showing it's taproot. I then moved into a RQS coco pellet that was soaked in plain tap water with a 5.8 PH.
Hoping for it to sprout in a few days. 👌
-------------------
Day 3
She sprouted very quickly! The taproot already broke out the bottom of the plug.
I added just a small layer of clay pebbles in the bottom of the net pot, put the pellet on there and surrounded it with more pebbles as you can see in the pictures. I will add some more pebbles as she grows up to block the light some more from getting into the bucket itself, but right now the seedling is too small still to add more.
There's no sign of any true leaves yet, so I'm trying to keep light gentle for now, she is not directly under any light, but she's getting about 270 PPFD from the SF2000 light that is above my other plants in the tent.

Day 1
Here we go! Officially day 1 for this plant as the first true leaves have shown up. Had to PH down the water reservoir from 6.2 to 5.6. Not seeing any roots poke out the net pot yet for now.
Day 2
Only took 1 day and the taproot has already hit the water 😄, that was surprisingly fast!
Day 3
She is making great progress so far 💪 that root has gotten quite a bit longer now.
Did also check PH, which was at 5.7 today 👌🏻, after I ph'd it down to 5.5 yesterday. and water temp is ~21.5°C
Also gave another 8ml of Hydrogen peroxide.
Day 4
Already got the second true leaves showing up 👀 and that taproot be doing well too. PH went up to 5.8 today, brought it back down to 5.6. Water temp is around 21.5°C
Day 5
More roots are poking out of the bottom now! that first set of true leaves is looking very nice and healthy.
Checked the water and PH didn't drift at all, stayed at 5.6. water temp was 20.5°C, but lights had only just come on.
Day 6
Love seeing the roots develop so quickly. The first set of true leaves got a big growth boost over night.
Not checking PH today for once, think it will be good till tomorrow.
Also dropped the light down a bit to increase PPFD to ~290
Day 7
Genuinely shocked the roots get that big already after just 7 days.
Didn't have to PH down either today, only got back up to 5.7 from 5.6 over 2 days.

Day 8
Did a full water renewal with 500ml less water, so 5 liters now. The roots have some space to breath now between the bottom of the net pot and water line. Also topped the net pot off with some more clay pebbles.
