As a beginner grower - this is my 2nd grow ever and my very first run from seed - dialing in a fully automated sealed room, CO2 supplementation,
precision NetBow drip irrigation, and plant biology has been a massive learning curve.
It takes constant studying and testing, but the effort is paying off: the plants are super healthy, strong, and stacking flowers rapidly.
Last week brought a major breakthrough in root-zone management. Instead of constantly fighting pH drift with acid, stability was locked in through proper ionic balance and bicarbonate buffering.
The ATOMIK (v6.23) feed formula was fully aligned with the top 10 peer-reviewed research papers from the last 7 years (Dr. Bugbee / Utah State, Dr. Zheng / Guelph, and Dr. Bernstein / Volcani)
DAY 45
Crop stearing light.
3.00 light up
5.00 10 minutes shot ? 660ml per plant
6.00 10 minutes shot ? 660ml per plant
7.00 10 minutes shot ? 660ml per plant - run off 500ml per plant EC 2.5 ph5.9
12.00 8 minutes shot 530ml
14:30 8 minutes shot 530ml
total 3060 ml per plant RUNOFF ~16%
One plant eats alot runoff = 100ml i add per hand 400ml. This was the smalest plant from seed. Now are the biggest, how strange.
