Diary of Dank volume2

Significant tweaking of the RDWC was done between runs to address what I felt was a low flow rate. Old build had the Danner 700 on a 3/4” intake and 3/4” return (lower level) lines, output was 1/2” T’d off twice to the buckets where I used a generic pvc elbow in 3/4” for the waterfall. Splash effect was almost nonexistent and flow was estimated at ~5minuntes for a full bucket exchange based on a ~14second fill time for a pint glass at the waterfall. New build brings in a Danner 950 (more for the larger native fittings on the pump than the increased gph) on a 1” intake and a fully rebuilt 1” return line (lower level) system between buckets and res for increased return flow rate, and a 3/4” output T’d off twice to the buckets where I found a 3/4” NPT to 1/2” barbed elbow adaptor for the waterfall. Splash effect is dramatically better and flow is now filling up a pint glass at the waterfall at ~5seconds giving me an estimated full bucket exchange every ~2minutes. Splash effect and flow rate are both significantly better now. Intake ball valve added for fine tuning of flow and future ease of pump exchange. Air stones increased from 4” to 5” discs. 1-12: shot glass 1-13: paper towel 1-14: rock wool. 2nd Chem Cookies went in shot glass also after concern that 1st was going to be a dud 1-15: 1st Chem Cookies wasn’t a dud so now I have 2, but the Pheno Finders Wedding Cake didn’t make it so we are still looking at 4 seeds and 4 buckets 1-17: surgery performed to remove the helmet from the zkittlez, not sure if she’s going to make it or not 1-19: Lights at ~36” and maybe 45% on the dial, dropping ~12k lux on the buckets Running Seedling1 nutes @ 50% Got the temps and humidity dialed in at ~70* and 70%rh by using the auto high humidity setting on the AC Infinities and a humidifier in the tent. 3of4 seeds sprouted, 4th is 2 days behind everyone else. Zkittlez had a hard time ditching its shell, with some help it’s been ditched but she doesn’t look great 1-20: I feel like the Zkittlez is going to pull through but I’m not as sure about the 2nd Chem Cookies, shes seemingly making no progress towards breaking ground under that rockwool.
