Day 7 i I transplanted the seedlings in jiffy’s to the DWC basket water level was “just” touching the bottom of the basket which meant there was 1mm- 2mm air gap between the water level and the jiffy’s. The high pressured air in the water to spit when air was released at the top which kept the bottom of the jiffy moist which had minimal roots showing to the exterior of it.
Day 7-13 I originally had 7.5 litres of water that was to the bottom of the basket. I replaced the water on the 13th which meant the water was changed after 6 days at such an early stage I will regularly change the water in the buckets. You can change every 7-14days but I am taking no chances.
I refilled and added nutrients on Day 13 which was yesterday. And the plants are doing really well and are a nice VEG green colour. Hard to tell on the pictures with the light colour but you can see their progress.
When I replaced the water this week I put 6.5L of water in each bucket With nutrients PH’d as close to 5.8 as possible. Some varied from 5.72 - 5.9. I have noted these on each bucket so that I can check if one does better than the others or shows deformities or stress I can amend it to match the others but hopefully not in such a close proximity of 5.8ph with an EC of 700+-
The roots are now showing in every pot with the longest being some 6inches.
The new Wakyme grow light is top notch so far with VEG button on only. Anyone contemplating buying one it cost me £99.00 from amazon and so far is performing just how I would like.
Humidity has been taken care of with a cold air intake fan which is pulled from another area of the building of a cooler environment.
Temperatures are spot on where I want them but I do allow a 2degree +- allowance but it does change back to its original temperature quickly enough.
5 more speed bud germinated and 2peyote critical feminised photoperiod germinated.
Crystal candy XL auto ordered x10
Gorilla glue, Pineapple Express and Cali Kush waiting in the wings. I have these already
If I can be anymore help to anyone let me know. Your diaries are helping me and hopefully I can provide the same to you

Welcome to week 6 with four tall ladies of Critical Orange Punch. They grew a bit and I removed some of the lower branches that did not get enough light and were too small and thin.
The plants look healthy and seem to like their 1.5 EC nutrients mix.
Day 37: I only measured ph and EC which were both ok (5.8 & 1.6)
Day 38: I added 20l water to the tank and added some nutrients including Calcium and Mag. I hope to prevent them from getting these rust spots with the CalMag. EC is set to 1.7, ph 5.5
Day 39: Ph down to 5.7 (before it was 6.0), EC is at 1.8. Gonna get the EC down a bit when the tank is getting empty. And I removed some smaller branches again because I don't wanna get exclusive popcorn buds. And I measured the height again which is 50cm in average. I hope they stop growing soon and start producing flowers because the space above is getting smaller and smaller. And I cleaned the bio-pump completely.
Day 40: I cut down some smaller branches to get more airflow between the leafes and because I don't want popcorn buds. And I stopped giving them water. The plan is to keep it stopped for 2-3 days to dry them out. I am wondering when the flowers will appear.
Day 41: nothing
Day 42: Some more stretching, the highest branch is 74cm in average they have approx 64cm. Added some Bloombastic to the tank and put the watering system on again. The pots were really light and empty but the plants looked pretty smooth. Also I added Gen200 again.

Woche 7
Ramona musste leider in ein größeres Zelt umziehen.
Der vorherige gebastelte Schrank ist nur 120cm hoch, zwischen Pflanze (höchster Bud) und Lampe waren nur noch 24cm Platz. Viel zu wenig und die Lampe war schon auf die maximale Höhe eingestellt die möglich war. Nun hat sie wieder Platz :) Das Zelt ist 80x80x180cm :D
Ramona hat auch ganz schön Durst. 3L Wasser schluckt nun weg.
Week 7
Unfortunately, Ramona had to move to a larger tent. The selfmade cabinet before is only 120cm high, and there was only 24cm of space between the plant (tallest bud) and the lamp. Far too little and the lamp was already set to the maximum height that was possible. Now she has space again :) The tent is 80x80x180cm :D Ramona is also really thirsty. She swallows 3L water now.

Seen some explosive growth in the past week, absolutely incredible. The damn UKBS 2 is nearly 20" tall - it's already seemingly recovered from the topping I gave it the other day and has started to take off yet again. UKBS 1 is just kind of existing, it's growth is quite noticeable as well but when compared to the other 3 plants is somewhat negligible. I suppose that'd have a lot to do with the much smaller pot that UKBS 1 is in compared to any other plant in the tent.
The carl plants are both doing incredibly well, however the one in the 5-gallon fabric pot (Carl 1) is expanding horizontally like crazy; which is great. I think it may end up being one of my indoor plants depending on the size it gets to once everything starts going out.
As usual, I'll update the text throughout the week.
-3-28 - 3-30 - Been noticing a creeping deficiency/PH issues affecting UKBS 2 but also slightly UKBS 1. Unfortunately the drainage on UKBS 2's pot is horrible and may be contributing to a salt buildup in the soil. Can't wait for the correct weather so I can put her in a big ass fabric pot outside.

The guy who sold me the seed said the strain was Critical Man Auto from family ganjah (seed bank). I only bought one seed and it was sent in a non original package. I am wondering if it is truly a Critical man auto. 😦

This strain was a hell of a time. From the beginning when I had no idea if this genetic was even going to make it...
Now we have 4.5 ounces in our hands from a bad ass grow. I would call this a success story hahah. Can't wait to start my next grow!!!

Coming into the final week. Like the last few weeks not much growth is going on. eVE smells great and is sticky to the touch. Her trichs are milky and most the pistils are orange. The bud nodes were great and the plant color is still beautiful. BUT she need got the weight on. It seems like after week 12 that she quit growing bud. My main culprit was water that was too warm at times and my roots looked tannish instead of white. Why can't I grow good roots? Will let her finish out the week and then harvest her.
