end of second week since they moved into the big tent
roots looking white and healthy
growth is steady
expecting them to explode in the coming week tho
all parameters from day 1 still apply
topped up the water today


all parameters still unchanged
have not topped up the water or the nutes since first post

they took it like a champ

topped them

First roots have reached the water.
Plants were looking a bit sad, likely because transpiration was too high relative to the small amount of roots hanging in the water, so I lowered the light intensity slightly to compensate.
PPFD now at 320
All other parameters stayed the same.

So here I am, writing this journal.
The plants moved into the big RDWC system 2 days ago, after I raised them for 2 weeks in a smaller tent.
Current parameters:
-Water temp: 18°C (64.4°F) constantly chilled
-pH: stable at 5.8
-EC: 1.6–1.7
-VPD kept stable at 1.1 kPa
-PPFD 420
Nutrients/additives:
Using Athena Blended Line Grow A and B in a 1:1 ratio, additionally adding CalMag and hydrogen peroxide to sterilize any pests/algae that might try to form.
