So i figured I'm in week 4 and they haven't died yet so I'll start a grow journal. This is my first time growing. I've done a bit of research and reading and built my own RDWC based off of the Slucket system with Halo's and bubbles. I decided to do two systems, two pods each with controllers utilizing 8 gallon buckets. My tent is a 4 x 8 Vivosun that I'm using 4 x 4 of it to start. My lighting is 4 Spider Farmer SF-1000's. I'm using 2 AC infinity 6" fans one for intake and one for exhaust with the exhaust on a controller. I connected a fresh air intake which goes through a Type A Hepa filter. I have two 320 GPH pumps and an air pump Commercial grade (that's what it says lol).
Media is Rockwool cube with Hydrotron in 6" Net pots. The nutes that I'm using are GH Flora Series, Roots Excelurator, Diamond Nectar, Floralicious Plus and Maxi Bloom Liquid.
I got my seeds from Seed Cellar in Jackson MI. FastBuds Rhino Ryder. I germinated 4 using the 48hr float method then put in Rockwool in a cassarole dish on a seedling heat mat for 2 days. Temp and Rh 78/70 then placed in net pot with hydroton. One did not make it so i have 3 going. Sprouts came up on March 16-17

I began feeding 25% GH recommended recirculating seedling strength when first serrated leafs developed. EC 0.3 Temp 80/60
On the 25th i up the nutes to 33% GH recommended seedling and i turned on the halos while still feeding from below also. The Halos have a anice drip to them with the lower feed still open. They spray if i just use the halos with no lower feed open. 80/60
pics from the March 25
On the 29th i began Early Veg 25% dose continuing halo and lower feed. 80/60

ON April 7th they got a 33% GH recommended Early Veg strength. Top and Bottom fed. 79/60
And this is 3 days later. I raised the lights to keep the PAR around 450
So that's about all i have for now. Here is a couple picks from today
