NoHarry Whatās up growmies! Kicking off a new run in RDWC. The bean was soaked in water for 24h, and after two days it popped a solid taproot so I put it straight into the hydroton. Itās been stalling for about a week now, but thatās just standard hydro lag while the plant is busy stacking roots downstairs. Iām still hitting it with some semi-organic additives like Canna Rhizotonic for now, but once I do the first res change, Iām planning to go full salts. Wish us luck!
The dimmer on this MedicGrow light is absolute trash and wonāt let me drop the draw below 130w, so I had to hang it super high to compensate. The Photone app is showing around 350 PPFD, which is probably overkill for the seedling stage and definitely not efficient.

NoHarry Nothing major happened over the last week. After that initial lag, she started picking up steam toward the end of the week and, predictably, got hungrier for nitrogen. This little gal drank a full liter of the soup over the week. I did a swap, drained 4L and topped off with 5L at N110 (bumping other elements accordingly to keep the ratios dialed in), and gave her a foliar feed with some Hesi Supervit
I wanted to hook up a silent fan, but then I remembered my Spider Farmer clip fan didn't even survive one full run, it's already dead. Iāll have to run a tower fan on low speed for now. The exhaust isn't running yet either.

NoHarry Swapped out another 5L this week with N110, so the res is sitting at roughly N90 right now. Iām planning a full res change, bumping it back to N110, once she bounces back from the stress of topping. She looks just about ready for the snip.
