AutoLowRyder
Welcome to the CannaZone
For the first time in ages, i thought i would grow out some Automatic Sativa (Doms)............. as i haven't done an auto in 4yr or more. As i have grown the DesFran fem before, i couldn't resist a go at the new auto version. To go with the DesFran, i chose the Auto Daiquiri Lime & Think Different, all aromatic automatic..
Specs as allways are simple;
Lights LED's 17,000 to 28,000 lux @canopy
Gold label special mix (Grow medium), in
15ltr Autopots, Trays, and valves, (Pots, 4no Wicks In Each, Suspended Over AutoTray Res)
Nutrients;
Veg = Gold label Soil A&B Ph down = Nitric Acid
Flower= GreenAir "Genesis Mush" Microbase, Microbloom, & canna Pk13/14, Bioheaven bud booster, Palm Tree Ashes, top Dressing. Ph down = Phosphoric Acid
Water;
Rainwater, 10micron filtered, warmed to 2c above root temp (In Room) at 20c -21c. So fed at 23c. before feeding and making up nutrient NPK profile, it is aerated, o2 / co2 / nitrogen saturated (Gassed, using aeration with ceramic air stones, on super silent haliea 9070 air pump.
The 25ltr reservoir,, "Fermentation Bucket", is filled with rainwater, aerated and prepared as above, with 20ltrs of rainwater, then as rainwater is zero Ec.............. i buffer that 20ltrs, with 5ltrs of hard tap water, calcium carbonate saturated, 'Hard" tap water, with and Ec of 0.3 = 250ppm TDS................ this 5ltrs, added to 20ltrs of rainwater, buffers the rainwater, and add, alkaline calcium carbonate & chloride and sodium salts, essential to plant growth............. not found in rainwater..... So my starting Ec is 0.3 + nute Ec.
These where hatched in 5ltr clingfilm covered pots, selected @Wk2-3, then potted on to the 15ltr bottom wicked, autopots. 100% hatch rate from the 3 strains..............
They are at wk 10, 70 days from first wetting the seeds........... Ph of genesis bloom flower feed @day70 = 0.8 = tap = total Ec1.1 Ph'ed to 6.9 to 7.1..... the 10 day flush will start soon, as full ripeness is approaching......
DesFran Automatic; not ripe yet.
Below in the middle is the DesFran "Daquiri Lime" pheno red DF perps
Daiquiri Limes
Think Different, both pheno's...
Just love this jardin;....... "Shinto View"
Will drop back with harvest pics, and weights..................... ALR
