Bolti I messed up a bit with the diary 02.04.2026: Water level in Dwc lowered further and ph adjusted again Also 02.04.2026: Water in the DWC changed and switched to RK fertilizer Grow fertilizer at an EC of 1.6 and Ph 5.5 05.04.2026: Problems adjusting the correct PH value (BioBizz PH-) Set the value to 5.5, after 2 hours it is back to 7 Now being checked more regularly

Bolti Had a few temperature problems that I now believe I have resolved, I built myself an intake including a filter from outside with a second exhaust system. Set to 22 degrees so that it sucks air into the tent until 22.3 degrees are reached. As a result, my nutrient solution is also extremely cooled, I have a second air stone in the water. I am curious to see what happens in the coming days. 09.04.2026 I set the temperature to 23-24 degrees, and also lowered the water level in the DWC so that there is an air gap between the pot and the water. The plant is growing rather small and bushy - possibly preparation for a proper stretch? 11.04.2026 Learned something again today, there are EC measuring devices with a factor of 500 and a factor of 700. I assumed that if it says 1600, it is 1.6ec. I wanted to give the plant 1.6ec but effectively gave it about 3.2ec. + Water changed: 13.4L 50/50 tap water/distilled, fertilized with 12G RK fertilizer Grow and 2G Epsom salt (little magnesium in the tap water). 12.04.2026 The plant has made significant root growth after the water change, I think now it really starts.

Bolti 14.04.2026: Day 30 since the start, you can watch the plant grow bigger every day. Today I only adjusted the pH, otherwise everything else is in the green zone.

Bolti 23.04.2026 Been a bit lazy with the diary Plant is growing excellently, only the lst in DWC is really unpleasant because the plant is full of water Let the pH value drop from 6.2 to 5.5 and fill with tap water without pH adjustment with fertilizer afterwards 25.04.2026: I defoliated her extremely to prevent mold from forming 26.04.2026: Changed the water and stayed at 2/3-1/3 Grow Bloom since no flowers are visible yet

Bolti 29.04.2026: Today I defoliated again, adjusted the clips, and checked the water values. The plant drinks 2-2.5L a day and it's just in pre-flowering 😅

Bolti 12.05.2026: Unfortunately, I had to switch the light to 12/12 because she hasn't started flowering and the space in the tent is limited. Still, she's developing absolutely great. I changed the nutrients to 2/3 Bloom and 1/3 Grow. Nutrients from RK Fertilizer, I'm thrilled!

Bolti She still doesn't want to fully bloom, very unusual on day 64 since she hatched. I also forgot to keep track of the diary because I'm busy with building the house.

Bolti Once again, I kind of forgot about the whole thing. The plant now has its first real flower buds, which really eases my mind. I'm sticking to my usual routine with RK fertilizer Bloom.

Bolti Upgrade time in the grow tent! My Permanent Marker Auto from SeedSupplier is currently breaking all dimensions! Hatched on March 19th, it's now about in the 2nd week of flowering – and what can I say? The 5-gallon DWC bucket from Mars Hydro is just delivering. The lady currently has a brutal thirst: she's drinking 6 liters of water a day! She's being fed with RK Fertilizer Bloom (1.2 g/L) right now, and as you can see, she loves it. Since she's shot out so wide and has completely pushed the old 80x80x160 tent to its limits, an upgrade was due today: moving into the new 100x100x200 tent! Now the countless shoots finally have space to breathe again. The whole setup is still powered by two Mars Hydro FC 1500s. I'm super excited to see how the buds develop under the setup in the coming weeks. The carpet is ready!
