RDWC - Cherry Cola Auto

High_And_Hydro It's the "old" version of the Cherry Cola, but I'm hoping it's still something good. I've had my eye on it for quite a while, and now it just worked out. Let's see how it turns out. I've expanded the setup a bit and got myself an AquaForte V30 Airpump, as the individual small pumps have become too exhausting and unreliable for me. Also, I've now got active, filtered fresh air controlled in the tent. The Vivosun controller is responsible for the fresh air, and I can also control one fan separately through it. The Vivosun temperature probe is in the intake duct, while the Trolmaster temperature probe measures the temperature directly at the exhaust, similar to a more modern combustion engine. I might need to swap the two probes around. At the moment, the Trolmaster only controls the light with sunrise/sunset simulation. If needed, the air humidifier or dehumidifier is also controlled through it. This time, the circulating air is supposed to be blown from below through the plants and directly exhausted from the top. I want to see if this achieves a more even airflow and how the plants respond to it.

High_And_Hydro I water them every few hours with a cup, and I have the light set to about 380 µmol/s/m² as long as the roots haven't reached the water yet. She's a bit wrinkly, but has a sturdy stem compared to the other two. She germinated last, so she looks a bit behind visually.

High_And_Hydro It looks terrible, but it's still growing. I planted a new seed just to be safe, as I'm not a fan of feeding sick plants and wasting space and electricity on them. At first, I was hoping it would recover, but so far it doesn't look like it, and not too much time has been lost yet. I still had one seed left of that strain.

High_And_Hydro It still looks crispy, but its replacement still hasn't germinated and it doesn't make much sense to put in a new one now. Either it manages to produce decent buds or it's out. In any case, at least it's keeping up with the Superboof.

High_And_Hydro I switched to bloom nutrient solution this week and reduced the nitrogen. I also significantly decreased the calcium nitrate and magnesium sulfate. The pH drift has completely resolved. She looks much better since then, so it wasn't the genetics, but rather the ratio of Aqua Vega to calcium nitrate and magnesium sulfate that was off, or the Aqua Vega has gone bad. I'll try a different ratio in the next round and see how she behaves. It would be a shame since the canisters are still 2/3 full. I'm curious to see if she'll deliver decent buds.
