Welcome to a new hydro diary, this time we are running a Fastbuds Wedding Cheesecake in a Mason Jar DWC system. The Jar has 3 liters capacity so it should be plenty for an autoflower "Bonsai" :)
This will be my tester plant for this strain, as always will run the new Fastbuds strains in 3 different media to see how they behave in each, this way its easy for me to find new strains I like in hydro and some in a Soil / Soilless mix.
So far she is growing very nice, grows quick, she is around 9 days old since germination, so this diary basically starts in week 2, which is something I will start doing with all diaries as the first week looks pretty much the same for all plants.
This will be an interesting run as I never ran a DWC in a reservoir this small, its hard to guess the size the autos can reach in these but it should be decent as autos don't need much root space in hydro anyway, depends on the strain of course but most don't make a huge root ball.
Cool experiment. I'm interested to see how she develop. Any concerns about root issues/algae setting in with your rez exposed to the light in a clear jar or do you have some sort of wrap that you use?
@Pot_Portraits huh, I never knew Great White and Orca had Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens. Good to know! I tried Orca early on in my first grow (still ongoing) and I thought it gave me root rot. I ended up flushing everything out and adding hydroguard. Maybe I misread the situation... hmm.
Is your formula a trade secret? 😏
@agricola, Great white is the same thing as hydro guard 😏, I never worry about res temps 🙌
my last plant the purple punch hit way high temps, easily 24 c and more but I found a formula that works 😎
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌
Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
Hey, what a fun experiment, following. Someone told me, call it Day 1 when the first real leaves appear, that's approx. after the second week of germination. That's where I start Week 1 now. Happy day ☀️
Nice run! im impressed with your setup! i love it!
One question, if is possible... how many times do you change the water in the jar throughout the run?
Thanks for your diaries!
@Freedonia, thanks a lot !! In these Hydrojars with only 4 liter capacity the plant will start to drink the whole thing within now time :) I just use multiple jars, prepare one with fresh nutrients then just swap the jar out 👌
