Oh, brave new world, where nature meets machine,
Where AI and plants will dance in between,
A world where growth and progress meet,
Where technology and life will surely greet.
Plants, with their roots deep in the soil,
Will still stretch towards the sky with their toil,
Their green leaves reaching for the sun,
Unknowing of the new future that’s begun.
AI, with its power to analyze and learn,
Will help us understand plants’ every turn,
Their needs and wants, their growth and health,
Aiding us in the quest for abundant wealth.
Through sensors, machines, and data so vast,
We’ll watch our plants grow, from first to last,
AI will guide us to the perfect yield,
As nature and technology become unsealed.
Oh, brave new world, where plants and AI unite,
A future so bright, it’s a beautiful sight,
As we grow our plants, and they grow us,
A new world blossoms, without any fuss.

So folks, this time we're starting from scratch. The last run can be found here (the problem SoG), and some topics will be continued there, which I will refer to here, and it can also be used for discussions.
Quick warning: Texts from ChatGPT may contain errors from time to time. The program is used as a tool to train how to deal with it. I will point out when the texts have not been checked by me with other sources and may contain errors in detail. Currently, it is mainly used to expand previously known fields, so prior knowledge is available and should avoid major errors. However, like the AI, I am not error-free, so always take the information here with a grain of salt if I do not cite any other sources.
The diary serves as a log and inspiration for others on how the future with new technology will develop.
So, welcome to the nerd zone
Clones Day -10
Most of the clones were cut 7 days ago and stored in the refrigerator. The last nutrient solution from the tank was used, 3L + 300mg of ColonizeAG and 150mg of BioPak, cubes soaked for an hour and drained (without squeezing as stated in the instructions, it worked without it in the last run with 100% rooting).
Thin layer of perlite in the propagators (didn't like the root development without it, too thick water roots) and distributed the cubes, everything into the tent and prepared the rest.
About three hours later...
First, 24 hours with low light
For the foliar application, we are using this mixture. I was a bit lazy, it could have a higher EC with more amino acids, but a mixture with the stuff from the tank was quicker. Just add some AminoPowerPlus and Tween20. Biopak was sprayed once to also promote colonization of the bennis on the upper parts of the plants. The nutrient solution will now be sprayed every 24 hours.
The left large propagator contains the fresh clones, the other three contain the ones from the fridge. Fresh ones look better after one day, the others are hanging a bit more.
After 24 hours and the first spray, the light was turned off for 4 hours, then sprayed again after 20 hours.
The hanging plants have recovered a bit.
And now let's give them a bit more power, white off and red on. 18 hours for day three. Day four was increased to 20 hours again.
Looks good, almost all of them have recovered and they are handling the high amount of light well.
We're following "Bugbee's method" here, who reported good results with high light doses for cuttings in a video. This was confirmed in my previous experiments, which all resulted in 100% rooting.
