So im restarting my hole cycle in the closet and while vegging regular plants i thought i might as well try out some autos in a small hydro box.
The setup
My closets flowering section is as follows
Strain Dinafem white cheese auto ( choice was heavily inspired by Atrains beast of a white cheese)
size: almost 3ftx2ft
Lights: 2 Mars reflectors 48x5 draw 180-200w need to get a kill-a-watt soon lights on/off 19/5
Medium clay pellets in a homemade hydrobox with airstone (3w) in the box and airpressured top watering (4w).
PH 6-ish
Nutes GHE tripack for hardwater (only gro micro and bloom.
Air: out - bathroom airvent pulling 14w when at max 100m3 pr hour. Air in take are one active 6inch pc fan about 8 watt-ish with the adapter i used im pretty sure and passive holes. the cirkulation fan is a 10w
Termostat controller using 3w instead to keep temps at 80f - 83f or 27-28c inside plant canopys plant top temps peak at around 85f or 29c
im counting the days from when transplanting into the hydrobox about 8 days from germinating seeds
ok here goes im current at day 30 since the seed juuuuust broke ground and 26 from putting them in the hydro box i rooted in rockwool cubes with biobizz rootjuice ph and adjusted water.
here is the nute schedule so fare
i moved them to the hydrobox december the 20th and first picture are from 27 dec.
Day 7
at the beginning im using the topwatering constant while lights on and some hours half way dark cycle.
with root jiuce the first week or so untill roots hit the water in the box. And only a very very mild nute solution.
Day day 14
over the next four five days from now i ponytailed both a bit for 3-5 hours a day.
and also started bending them a bit and tied them to the pot sites started on leaf tuggin as well
Day 18
after seing a bit of sign of N burn in leaf tips i readjusted a bit down here for a few days before raising it a bit at next refill. when i started at this week on the schedule i rinsed my box and soaked the plant in pure water while doing so.
Day 20
started to LST it a bit harder over the next days and taking a couple of few fanleafs here and there to open them up a bit.
Day 22
same mo tieing tugging and nippin at this point my roots are well down into the nice bubbled water in the box so i am turning down the topwaterering regime to avoid to much salt builtup when water evaporates from the top layer of clay pellets..
Day 26
a little update on root development also looking good
and a small picture of the hole operation. going on 2/3 of full speed third room that is not on are usually in use for seedlings and a small mother bonzai or two.
And a lovely day to all
