Hey @SweetLeafGrow now that you have a few runs behind you, sometime when you have a minute I'd love to pick your brain on what routine has worked out best for you as a new(er) grower for the day to day, week to week management of your rdwc. Like for example, what have you found has worked best for you as far as mixing/adding nutes and maintaining ppm + pH levels, top offs and water changes?

Hit me up in a DM bro, happy to help.

I bagged up the smaller stuff this morning for cure. Still need time on the bigger colas but overall lookin pretty sexy I think.

Looking into the grove sack of nuggets reminds me of pillaging my kid's trick or treat bags.

Ive been testing things out letting it run on a trial schedule and everything is working great so far. The ACI stuff is baller, I love it. After @SweetLeafGrow got me sorted on mixing nutrients, I made up a trial batch for veg to check my calculations and see how that end of things was gonna look in practice. The external reservoir for doing your water chores thing is genius, kudos to whoever thunk up that one. Guess I'm all dressed up and waiting on a girl, go figure.

Ended up with 350-ish grams from the harvest, so not quite a pound. Very happy with that for only my 2nd grow. My wife nor I have even seen that much in person before, so pretty exciting. The quality of the bud is what I'm most pleased with, really fantastic smoke.

Thanks dude, when we calculated in terms of money we wont have to spend on buying it anymore, it's a real eye opener I gotta say.

Wrapped up a bunch of loose ends like the hatch, trim and painting. I put a camera in so I dont have to walk downstairs as much. Climate is @ .95 vpd. I had a spare seedling kicking around the aerogarden that I put in the closet last Sunday for the hell of it. I figured it can play crash test dummy for a bit while I wait for the white widow sprout to put on some bush. Seems to like it so far. Haven't pushed too hard w the light yet, it's pretty bright even on the lowest setting. ~350ppm flora trio and epsom.

Super clean bro, great start to what I see is going to be a great grow!

SchwiftyGrower · Feb 8, 2023

Soooooooo sick!!! Man what awesome and clean setup! Really excited to see the next batch, I really love your pics, the buds spilling out of the jar makes me smile!

I think I might have automated all the fun out of it lol.

Got the vibe dialed in.

I forgot to mention I needed to restart my seedling because a few days ago the cat knocked the humidity dome off my bucket and snapped it. Possibly earning himself a lifetime ban from the facility.

I took the opportunity to stage a little horse race to germinate and grow a seedling between Aerogarden and my 1gal bucket. Aerogarden has a white widow seed, the bucket has a seed from my first plant. Aerogarden winning so far, but the bucket seed crawled out of its hole and went on walkabout for a bit and this may have cost it the race.

I gave this one a trim around the bottom to get foliage out of the rocks now that its feet are under it. Looking perky and happy this morning w new leaves widening out. This is so freakin cool..
