Started off germinating seed in wet paper towel placed in a zip lock plastic bag stored in a dark warm place after about 20 hours its tail had broken out the shell so i transferred that badboy into a jiffy pallet soaked in a cal mag solution and adjusted to ph 6.
Day two - The seed busted through the hydro medium and showed itself, i then put it directly under the LED lights on full spectrum about 40cm away where it stayed for the next week whilst its roots slowly grew out the bottom of the medium and it was ready to be transferred to the system
Days up to day 8 nothing really changed, I maintained daily watering with ph balanced cal mag solution and the roots eventually began growing out the bottom and sides of the jiffy pallet.
Day 9 Transplanted the babies into the aero/dwc system. soaked the jiffy pallet medium in water and gently rubbed away all the soil surrounding the roots before placing them into netpots filled with clay pallets.
Day 10 noticed immediate results, seedlings looking happier healthier and you can literally notice the changes in size every 3-4 hours you walk into the room!
Day 12 Started getting more nodes and 3rd set of true leaves but noticed a slight PH issue with the clay medium not being rinced thoroughly enough the systems PH wouldn't stabalise so i washed it out and started again with pebbles that i'd soaked for a day prior and issues seemed to stop
Day 14 With the Ph showing no issues and staying at my desired level of 5.5 I increased the babies nutes up to 2/3 the recommended dose. It's been a good week needless to say and the plants only 5 days in the system are growing at a ridiculous speed
System info - DWC/AEROPONIC
1. system is set to spray the bottom of the clay filled net pots for 15min every hour and a half.
2. the reservoir holds about 15L of Ph balanced water with a half strength mix of random nutrient 3-1-4 NPK i purchased from bunnings.
3. reservoir tank is constantly aerated with 2x airstones
Not much going down this week except for a bit of nute burn/light burn, got my ppm and ph all stable so the homemade systems working a treat. Root systems are hanging 15cm below the 15cm netpots touching the bubble water now
Been away again all week working so they been auto piloting, progressing alright I changed the water and amped up the bites as old water turned brown and Nasty.
Also cranked down the sprayers to come on 15min every 2.5 hours now to really get em thirsty and wanting to grow

This is the real week 5, my diary fucked up and posted a duplicate week and I don’t know how to remove it. Anyway the LST and increase in nutes really has this baby perking up, I’ve given it a mix of 12/12 lighting using 12 on red light 12 on full spectrum I dunno if it’s helped but ima give it a trim and hopefully should be close to gettin them pistols and bud sites
Pretty cruisey week, nothing out of the ordinary went down. Gave the system a quick clean out and and refilled the tank. Bud sites are really starting to show so I trimmed it down a bit to help expose some more light to the area, last couple of days I started giving them 16hrs red light then 8 hours full spectrum. Also accidentally snapped off a stem so covered it in root gel and put it in the dwc. Gonna try get a clone going so I can Herm it up for breedin.
