This journal documents the journey of a Mandarin Cookies R1 V2 plant, cultivated using a Deep Water Culture (DWC) hydroponic system. The grow began with germination on August 8th, 2020, and transitioned into the vegetative stage on August 22nd, 2020. Throughout its active growth phase, the plant was housed in an indoor environment named "Indoor CDWC A Nutriplex," utilizing 3000 watts of LED lighting on an 18-hour light cycle. Early entries show consistent environmental monitoring, with temperature maintained around 25°C and humidity at 53%, and initial nutrient feeding measured at 250 ppm. The provided photos capture the plant's development, showing its progression from seedling to a more mature vegetative state, indicating steady and healthy growth within its hydroponic setup.
