This week ia am planning to let it grow just like this. Hopefully I will receive a plant camera next week to monitor my VPD. Also added an IRheater to keep temperature stable The infrared heater does its job, but I find it a waste of electricity, 3.6 kWh in one night. So I've decided to install a gas heater instead, which delivers the same result at a much lower cost and also provides additional CO2. The heater can then keep the temperature above 21˚C with the lights off. The natural gas heater will be used with the lights on. I need to quickly find a CO2 sensor because too much CO2 has a counterproductive effect, as I've already noticed. Approximately 1200 PPM at 32˚C is optimal as long as I can maintain a DLI of 35. Great technology is on the way. Added: Installed CO2 burner, run it for 6 minutes every hour. Temp raises from 22˚C to 27˚C in about 7 minutes. CO2 detector (just colors, no values) doesn't alarm so not above 1500PPM CO monitor also no alarm :) Running for 4 hours now and a visible change is there. Tomorrow I will know if it is ok or not. Added a few pictures. Lets see if we can see the difference tomorrow. 26-05: Added Dimlux Maxi controller for CO2 and VPD. Works nice. 28-05: Topped a few 31-05 Added additional 300W to heat the stuff up. RH is stable but high on 72%. Could add a dehumidifier but since CO2 is already there and my VPD is around 0.8 I thought adding light would be cheaper. Can go up to 33˚C before my floor is heating up too much. Also cleaned the watertank. So from now on they are on Ata Max

Seconda settimana di vita delle nostre Strawberry Pie di Fastbuds! Continuiamo a mantenere l'umidità relativa abbastanza alta 50-60% per permettere alle plantule di svilupparsi al meglio, senza però farle prendere troppo freddo! Tra qualche giorno potremo procedere anche al prossimo passo: Dare i nutrimenti necessari per permetterle di crescere sane e forti per le prossime tre settimane di crescita. 😎

Hello Growers & Tokers! Rooooots. Don't forget about them! At the beginning of the week they all got transplanted into their final pots, 11L fabric pots. Medium is Light Mix from BioBizz. Synergy from Grotek nutrients was blended in the medium to help out the roots. Let hat mycorrhizae do it's thing. I'll let them settle in their new home then I'll be topping them to widen that canopy out. Take care out there and happy growing!

Hi Growmies, My apologies for the delayed update, but work life balance got a bit out of wack recently. Anyways, water was changed on time and general maintenance took place. Continued with very light defoliation to really guarantee that all the shoots get equal light exposure. She is turning out to be a real beauty and literally no Scr.O.G was necessary due to her natural structure. Buds are already forming very compact and dense to touch, something that’s always a good sign ;) Since this is my first proper DWC grow I am actually quite impressed by the root growth and the resulting nutrient uptake, as well as vigor in plant growth. Is it btw just me or is this website getting slower, buggier and laggier by the day? Videos won’t upload, weeks don’t reflect, diaries won’t update….

Zweite Blütewoche. Diese Woche gibt es das erste mal Blütedünger. Bio PK 5-8 von Biotabs. Ich habe mich mit 8ml leicht unterhalb der Angabe des Herstellers (10ml) orientiert. Außerdem habe ich einige Blätter entfernt um Platz für verdeckte Triebe zu schaffen. Die Blüten fangen an sich zu bilden. Ich hoffe das Höhenwachstum ist zuende.

Week 5 My little plant is still developing well and gaining in size. Granted, with limited light comes limited growth but I was expecting that from the get go. I'm happy with the progress and the plant is soon due for its first defoliation.

01-11-2021: Good afternoon everyone... here we are again. My Bruce Banger will be ready in a week so I thought... I can probably germinate some seeds. I still have a lot of them (thanks to zamnesia) Every now and then I also post a report on Growdiaries and since you can only enter a competition there by using only one Strain I decided to put a round of Wedding Cake. I wanted to grow this variety when I still got my seeds from seedstockers, but found it too expensive at the time. Now I had two fish vouchers from zamnesia, each one good for 5 Wedding Cake Auto seeds. I didn't really like AFs per se (although I enjoy the result every day) so I called them and asked if I couldn't get Photos instead of Autoflowers... That was no problem at all, so I now have 10 have seeds. I have not yet found a method of germination on Hydro that works well for me, so we're going to do it in the most reliable way for me... old-fashioned in Cocos plugs. I let it fill itself with acidified (PH5.9) water and then provided each plug with a seed. I now put this under a 60W purple LED lamp that I still had from my very first cultivation attempt. Once they are up (I'm guessing/hope with a week) these will go into my budget system to grow there under 480W LM301H panels for a few weeks but with only 12 hours of light. The idea is to move these to the large closet as soon as they are about 4 weeks old, but that is not necessarily a requirement because you can also remove the lamps from that loft and move them to this room. That depends a bit on the size. What I'm going to test this round is how good/bad 12/12 from seed is doing in Hydro. Since most feeding schedules with hydro assume that you only pre-grow 1 week, I thought I might as well rule out that one week. In addition, from the moment the roots emerge from under the net pots, I want to increase the EC to 1.5 fairly quickly. I like small stocky plants without having to scrog. Maybe I'll top and maybe even mainline, but that depends entirely on the development of the ladies. In any case, there will be no feeding computer for the first few weeks (a bluelab Guardian) and as growth food they are given Hy-Pro Hydro A/B with Calmag (4-4-1 ratio). I expect very low temperatures in space so it won't be a banger. I have the impression that a correct root temperature compensates to some extent. I'm still looking for a way to transport the ladies in the right way (or I have to find a way to be able to use the same net pots in both systems). But that is of later concern. Since I only have 1 pre-growth room and 1 flowering room, I will put these ladies in a kitchen cupboard for the next week. The Bruce Banger goes on Sunday and then I can put them in there. The idea is to continue breeding on 12/12 from now on. After six weeks, new seeds will always germinate and no more than 5 at a time. I now make a round with originally 15 ladies, 3 of them were left behind in such a way that I took them out (to prevent rot) with the probable cause of too little light. 5 Planting will probably yield a little less, but hey, I can't finish it otherwise. And now my friends are very happy with my clearing days but of course that is not what I grow for. In addition, it also hurts a bit to give away 3-4 ounces after so many months of work. Just a summary of the materials used for the enthusiasts.... Lighting: 3x Meiju LED Samsung LM301H 240W with Jisun Drivers. Heating: Juwel 200W aquarium heater Nutrition Growth: Hy-Pro Hydro A/B, Ata CalMag. Nutrition Bloom: Atami ATA AWA Max, Ata CalMag, Plagron Green Sensation Containers: 5x 11 liters Bato (2 liters of nutrient solution per container) 36 liter reservoir Extraction: G-Tools 400 M3 adjustable extractor and PK2601 Filter Measuring equipment: Bluelab Guardian EC/PH/Temp Meter, Ali temp/lv meter Irrigation: Pressure compensated drippers 7.6 L/H Disease Prevention: H2O2 50% Silver Stabilized

Hello Diary, Titan F1 is ready for harvest, on day 63. Milky Way F1 and Apollo F1 will wait another week in my estimation. So, 72 days since I put the seed in the ground. 68 days since Titan F1 sprouted. Really fast, and the result is incredible. Titan F1 is a really beautiful plant. The flowers are hard to the touch, really compact, and smell wonderful. The flowers are covered with trichomes and it looks like it is covered with ice crystals. Watering was more frequent this week due to the high temperatures, they needed a lot of water and so did the Titan F1. At the end of the week, the 63rd day to be exact, after taking photos, I cut branch by branch and put them in a cardboard box to dry. Considering that two plants still remained on the farm, I had to protect the flowers from the penetration of light. Here's what it looked like last week. 26/06/2023 - Day 58. Watering. Only two days later, the plants drank all the water, so I watered them with two liters for each individual plant. 29/06/2023 - Day 61. Watering. I repeated the procedure as I did three days earlier. 01/07/2023. - Day 63. Photographing plants. After I took the photos, I cut the Titan F1 branch by branch and put it in a cardboard box to dry. That's all I went through with the Titan, I wrote and documented as much as I could. If anyone has a question related to this strain, feel free to write in the inbox.

Left and right have both been topped for the second time on D31. Increased the EC and the plants seem to be growing very well! Have started to train the plant in the middle out, the other two I am not going to train until D33.

She's growing good! Was able to start some LST on this girl. I think I'll be flipping the light schedule in the next day or 2. As I said before, I don't want to veg long as this is my first hydro grow. Can wait to see how she turns out.

Forgot to do a week of posting 👎🏼. Buds are still pretty small I’m not sure if because of defiencies or what. Hoping she fattens up some more
