Change of plans bro. The tester seedlings were already close to a week old when I came up with the plan so I’m going to do this with some ILGM LSD and G-13 seeds instead. I already had the ILGM seedlings germinating for another grow but decided they would work well for our little project and only sets us back 5 days.
So far I’ve been watering the ILGM seedlings to run off twice a day since they first sprouted which I wasn’t doing with the testers. I was also able to put a couple in 6x6” Hugo blocks to see how they will grow. I’ll have 3 growing in 1.5 gallon containers filled with Grodan chunks, 2 in 2 gallon containers filled with chunks, 2 in 6x6” Hugo’s, 2 with the 4x4” cubes on top of 6” Hugo’s, 1 on a 8x8x3” Grodan slab, 1 will be on a small 6x6x3” slab and the last 4x4” cube will be placed on top of a 2 gallon grow bag filled with coco. I figured I would need more room to do this comparison right so I took my other 5x5” tent out of retirement and set it up yesterday. Still might not be enough space for 12 large plants so I will plan on taking a few out when the time comes.

Thinking of incorporating these $20 self contained hydro units I just rigged up when the plants start getting big. They have 3.5 gallon reservoirs and only raise the plants 12 inches. The units basically work off the same water to run off concept that I will be using throughout the grow.
