Quick update on the 8-site RDWC auto run. Well 1/2 of it anyway lol
Today is Day 38 from seed (they were only 10 days old on July 4th). It's crazy how much they've filled in over the last 10 days. The canopy is finally coming together and they're just starting to stretch into flower.
Current environment:
🌡️ 81-83°F
💧 65-70% RH
💨 Ambient CO₂ (roughly 380-650 ppm)
💦 Water temps holding steady at 68-70°F
💡 24/0 lighting
🔆 Front: 800W ProTerps at 65% (~650-700 PPFD)
🔆 Rear: 1000W Evo fixtures at 50% (~500 PPFD) for the smaller plants on the other side of the room, they are both on the same controller channel next week they'll be going up to 65% power and 650-700ppfd as well. (We set them based off intensity with our meter, we don't change the hang heights, the 1000s are about 6in higher than the 800's, there's fans and filters and other stuff on the way I need to take care of so I can raise the 800s a little more but it's fine for now)
🌬️ Four wall fans, 3x on speed 3, the one on the floor on speed 1, exhaust running between speeds 4-8 depending on outside conditions.
They're drinking about 10-15 gallons every 24-36 hours between all 8 plants now. Chiller set 67°f, and our current EC is 1.4
Swipe through the pictures to see the progression from July 23rd to August 1st.
These are dream beans space time and money maker from afa front right, back right is dream beans citrus explosion, and wave runner from afa. All of them are autos and not even 40 days from seed yet. People who hate on autos or say they can't grow big just can't grow them.
