Day 8 from germination, I think. Chugging along. Added a layer of sand to combat the bugs. Don’t know yet if good idea or stupid idea. We’ll see what happens.
Feeding ph 5.9,ec.0.59,ppm 460. Collected some runoff, clocked at ph 5.4, ec 0.4, ppm 350ish.

Is that a layer of sand to keep the fungus gnats at bay?

yessir, that was the idea at least. came up with it kinda spur of the moment. I did not have any perlite or vermiculite handy. bugs make me twitch, you know?

It will totally work for that purpose. @Subcool (RIP) used to preach using this technique.

that helps a lot, thank you. I made sure I washed it before I put it in. I might have to ad some more once I hook up the auto watering. I dont want to see the flecs really…not that I fixate on things or anything.

Day 16. On 2 to 3 times a day auto watering. Judging by container weight. Some leaf crinkling, don’t know what to call it really. They look healthy to my eyes. Rezevoir is barely dented. Just checked Ec an ph, both steady.

Day 17. More adventures.
Earlier this week , my tester started not giving me consistent readings. Weird error code on ph. Ec and ppm readings fine. Changed battery, same. Called the company, tech support says probe is bad. Need a new one. 100 bucks. Great. I get it today…inside there’s a note saying error code I experienced is a battery code…
.
Brand new battery.Probe is fine.Been feeding my poor seedlings ph.6.5…dammit. Flushed each with 500ml of distilled water.
New reservoir. 4 gallons tap. Base ph 6.2,ec 0.3. Added 17g megacrop. New ph 5.65 and Ec 1.2 over base.+4ml calmag, +4ml peroxide.

Day 20 on most.
I can see little white rootlets at the bottom of the containers!
They look well. The fabric pot got sprayed with Sts. Seems to have taken it well, looks vigorous. Will observe and reaply Sts later this week. The temp fell from 26C to 23, RH is ~65%.
Day…erm 16? ooh, she is loving life.
I don’t really like fabric pots. they slouch ugly.I’m committed to this one one now but I don’t think I’ll use them again. I really like the opaque white squares. I like the angles.

Day 23 on most.
Did a new rez last night. Added a airstone that runs for 2hrs a day in tandem with the far red panel.
5gal. Base ph 6.2, ec 0.3, ppm 210.
End product : ph 5.7, ec 1.5, ppm 1010
Added a little calmag and 15ml of peroxide.
This morning I checked rez ph, 6.2. Lowered it to 5.7 again. Possibly the mixing and airpump/airstone raised the ph. Ec and ppm unchanged overnight.
Did some bondage on the girls. All but Gigi, she’s short and bushy.
This mornings surprise. STS sprayed plant had these tendrils… face_with_raised_eyebrow
The plant itself is stretching. Significantly.

Yeah, I think blasting them with 300w right away might have not been the best idea. They were getting ~100w then BAM, 300w cool light to the face. Clawing.
I turned off one of the lights and grouped them under it. observing for now. Been told to chill.
