KritischeMasse Da mein letzter Grow "Mehltau" zum Opfer gefallen ist musste ich handeln um fürn Sommer etwas Gras noch zu haben. Ich habe das Komplette Zelt mehrfach desinfiziert mit Isopropanol Innen und Außen! Dazu mit Ozon den "Growroom" Ich hoffe das Zeug kommt nicht so schnell wieder.
Da ich auf Erde schleppen und den Dreck keine Lust mehr habe, dachte mir so, versuch mal DWC und hab mir von Spider Farmer das Set gekauft.
Da nicht so viel Zeit war hab ich einfach meine "freebies" von RQS, Apple Fritter Auto ins Glas geworfen. Automatics sind bestimmt nicht ideal und ich bin totaler Anfänger aber ich Versuchs einfach mal.
Ausgangslage:
Mein Wasser hat ein EC von 0.2 und PH von 7.5 (mir wurde gesagt das dies recht gute Werte sind)
🌱Wasserwerte: 0.8EC PH 6.0🌱
Ich hab 20l in jedem Tank, Gekeimt im Glas und dann hab ich einfach den Keimling reingelegt und lass das Wasser sprudeln. Die Pumpe ist leider schrott und extrem Laut, nichts fürs Wohnzimmer. Steht bei mir zwar im Gaming Zimmer, musste aber die Pumpe in eine "Gedämmte" Box legen.

KritischeMasse First week of veg, the ladies are growing differently and tolerate the nutrient addition in different ways.
The left plant has very good root growth, while the right plant is lagging a bit. The right plant also has slight nutrient burn on the leaf tips.
🌱Starting values: EC 0.2 and pH 7.5🌱
🌱Water values for left plant: EC 0.75 pH 6.11🌱 🌱Water values for right plant: EC 0.65 pH 6.02🌱
pH remains stable, I might increase to an EC of 0.9 next week.

I haven't changed the water yet; as soon as the EC drops, I'll fertilize directly in the pot. The pH rises slightly and is regulated after 3 days.

KritischeMasse Not much is happening, the left plant is absorbing nutrients well and growing very strong, while the other plant is clearly lagging behind and taking in fewer nutrients. The roots look very clean and fresh. So far, I've only topped up with water and haven't done a complete water change yet.

KritischeMasse I've raised the EC a bit, currently both plants can easily handle an EC of 1.8. My hope is that the autoflowers will slowly start to bloom now, the roots look very good. I can keep the water temperature around 18-19 degrees. The right plant has developed a lot of shoots, growing nicely bushy without training, while the left plant is lagging quite a bit. I suspect it's more about the genetics.

KritischeMasse The plants are currently pulling nutrients very strongly from the water, the EC is dropping daily, while the pH is rising. I'm currently regulating the pH to 5.8 and after 2-3 days it sits at 6.1-6.2. There are early signs of flowering, I will probably let the EC settle at 2.0. This grow is more than relaxed, I'm currently measuring all values once a day, checking the roots, and adding a bit of 3% hydrogen peroxide (2ml per L) during feeding. Throughout the week, I will ramp up my Sanlight to 80% and then keep it at about 212w of lighting. I've also adjusted the time from 20/4 to 18/6.

KritischeMasse I had to do some serious defoliation this week. The plants had so many leaves that water was forming on the leaves in several spots. Currently, they are drinking a lot; I had to give them a good 5 liters per plant several times this week. The roots are still strong and nice "white".
I also had to lower the EC because I was getting burn on the tips of the new leaves, so I set the EC to 1.6. According to Plagron's feeding schedule, that's too low, but the ladies can't handle that much!

KritischeMasse The 3rd week of flowering is over, the ladies have made another good push, and the leaves have grown back densely. The left plant is a bit further along in flowering, and the buds are swelling more every day. It can also handle a higher EC value, it only has slight nutrient burn at the tips, while the smaller right plant feels most comfortable at an EC of 1.3-1.5.
The ladies have an extremely large root mass, the buckets are almost completely full, I can barely lift them to take photos. This week I had to give a total of 2x 10l of water per plant. The pump is running at maximum to bring enough oxygen to the roots. Furthermore, I add 20ml of 3% H202 per plant to the water every three days to improve oxygen supply.

KritischeMasse I had some issues with the EC this week. For both plants, the EC rose to 2 at times, while the pH remained stable and water was mostly just absorbed. I used pH-corrected tap water to lower the EC to 1.6.
The ladies have suffered a bit because of this, and the leaves don't look as nice anymore. I also had to do some defoliation since the humidity shot up. The roots are still in very good condition.

KritischeMasse I noticed a problem with the water, the roots turned brown and the air stone was brown from algae.. the water was quite cloudy as well. I had changed the water once and it was definitely time to do it again. I also felt that the nutrient salts had settled and therefore the plants absorbed little fertilizer or not all the additives.
It’s noticeable that both plants are at different stages of "progress" in flowering. I probably won't grow anything from RQS again and will give away the free seeds.
I watched a few videos from Dr. Bruce Bugbee and raised the pH a bit while also fine-tuning the nutrient dosage.

KritischeMasse Currently, it's clear that the left plant will be ready in two weeks, while the right one still needs a good four weeks... don't ask me why the auto is developing so late. The right plant has put on some serious stretch and is now bigger for the first time.
With the nutrients and water consumption, I notice that the right plant drinks like crazy and the EC is rising daily by 0.2-0.4 points; I also had to give it a good 10 liters of water this week. With the other one, you can tell it's entering the final phase, and the water consumption is dropping significantly, with the EC only decreasing by 0.1 points. I've only needed to give about 3 liters of nutrient solution.
The buds are already a good "RedBull can" size.

KritischeMasse The buds are gaining volume nicely. I fertilized according to the Plagron schedule for testing and raised the EC to 2.0. The roots always look very good. I definitely need to harvest part of it; I think in another 7-10 days the left lady will be ready. Meanwhile, the right one is just starting to flower extremely late.
I don't know if it was me or more about the genetics, but I've never experienced such different growth before.

KritischeMasse So after a week on vacation, the buckets were almost completely empty, good 20l were consumed in 7 days. The buds have swollen nicely again. But I have the problem that one is more or less done while the other plant still needs at least two weeks.
I have two problems:
1. Partial harvest and drying in the same tent..
2. It's summer and the one lady needs at least two more weeks, so should I stop the grow?
I mixed up 40l of new nutrients.

KritischeMasse This week I harvested one plant early because it was pretty much done. The other plant has really picked up again. I lowered the EC at the beginning of the week by simply adding water. I will leave them for another week and harvest here as well. The buds have remained noticeably smaller, and I don't think there will be much more volume added. I think I won't be growing any more Autoflowers indoors, and I will definitely steer clear of RQS. This White Label stuff is just too much of a mixed bag.
I defoliated again and cut off all the "weak" shoots and buds. In the end, as always, I will only keep the A+B buds and the rest will go in the bin.
