Another Hydrotron Automated Grow

Here begins another Hydrotron grow. 5 ILGM seeds started, 5 seedlings germinated and moved to grow room. Have posted a grows few before. But each grow, I find little tweaks that may be worth sharing…

The grow room is controlled via a WiFi /Cell phone programable - TrolMaster HCS-1. Lights /Watering/Heating/Cooling/Humidity control., programable alarms. Have had no issues with the controller.

20 Gallon temp / humidity controlled aquarium for seed germination:

30 Days from Germination…

Did the first trim by topping leaving 4 branches @ 90 degrees.

Placed first level of netting, used to spread the growth. Let growth continue with goal of trimming again to result in having 8 “Cola’s” per plant

OK.. Growth has been strong.. Several general “Trims” already..

Just one more heavy trim as we go into flower…

Looks like an excessive trim.. But the girls recover so fast, within a day or two..

Expect to end up the many full “Cola’s”

Girls. Pre-Trim

Trimmings… Looks excessive.. But just removed lower growth.. Encouraging full “Colas”

Two Days post trim… Girsl ecovered .. Strong bud growth …

If you could please detail this. I’m getting ready for work but I’ll check in later. I may have more questions. One that pops into mind is how does water get back to reservoir. Is it lower than the pots.

Will be Away for 10 Days… Party time !!

Set up auto watering system for time away

Drain & Clean Tank

Clean water ring holes… (Just good Practice)

Fill tank with 200 liters of water.. add 2 liters of Hydrogen Peroxide - Typ 1 Liter of 3% per 100 Liters water & leave air bubbler off for a few hours) to kill any bacteria. that would feed on the nutrient solution.. and plug the whole watering system up..

OK.. All set for 10 Days away.. Fingers crossed… Hope the gals don’t get to lonely without me. :>
