Lighting AutoNight Queen (HS1/DWC )

[MedGrower]

Hey hey hey!

Finally I am starting my grow with Dutch Passions new automatic, AutoNight Queen (http://www.dutch-passion.com/en/cannabis-seeds/product/autonight-queen-autoflower-weed-seeds/) At the same time I am feeling brave and I will be putting @TaNg's Easy Feeding schedule at test with DWC. Because it is soilles grow I am going to add some beneficial bacteria to help protect the root system and add a little bit of nutes to the plain water at the start. These will be the only mods I am going to make for the feeding plan.

Growroom: 0,72 m2 and 2m height
Lighting: 1x HS1.1 for vegetative period / 2 x HS1.1 for generative period
Airflow: Passive intake through carbon filters and mechanical output with one inline fan. Oscillating tower fan
Nutrients: TaNg's easy schedule (modified for DWC, added Voodoo Juice for root protection)
Reservoir: Capacity 21 litres with 600 lpm airpump and 4 airstones

Only one will be grown at this time. Bean has been in the rockwool for a day now and all is set. Feed in the DWC is 0,5ml Sensi Bloom per litre. I start calculating the days from when she has popped up and lost her helmet.

Subbed up bro, looking forward to this.

DAY 1

She had popped up and left her helmet hanging so I picked it up for her. Just about two days in germination and she is already up. Usually with DP's beans it has taken me always 3 days. Man these are fast to germinate.

Planting a little deeper will stop the seed cap happening bro.

Yeah I have concluded this also and it seems to hold true since then the seed cap has more time to soak. Thank you.

Good luck with your DWC adventures.

Thank you! It has started ok. Yesterday I noticed a little root coming down from the cube. It hasn't streched yet today as I looked it but I wont worry about it. She will push some root soon enough.

DAY 3

Looks like a little birthday cake bro love it lol.

She has been just pushing root and not doing too much else so far. I see multiple little white strands of roots pushing through the cube. She is certainly taking her time. Its been almost a week already.. I give you an update with pictures soon!

DAY 7

pH 6.2
EC 0.6
RH 40 - 50

I wonder if I have had keeping the rockwool a bit too dry or what but she has certainly been taking her time building up the roots. Right about now I see there is a lot of roots there are finally starting to reach the nutrients in the reservoir. Certainly a slower start than what I have usually gotten. Oh well.. She seems happy.
