New Grower My desktop grow, DG X CDLC X MS

[Talonxracer]

I was rather impressed with how my last three plants came along on my desktop before ending up in the outdoors garden. So I decided to just go ahead and try a full-on desktop grow. I already soaked a freebie bean from Mephisto, it is a doublegrape x cdlc x mango smile. 8 hours in some spring water, then into a paper towel for just 12 hours(1/2" taproot) and then just 18 hours after that she popped thru the surface in a small airpot.

38 hours from soaking to growing is just about the fastest I have seen a bean get going!

I am using HF soil with DE, seabird guano, azomite, Langbenite and humic acid added. IIRC the airpot size is 1/2 gallon. The led lights are Samsung lm301h 6500k and lm301h ONE(3500k) set at a par of 250(it is less under the plastic dome).

This morning after I woke up and had a few coffees and breakfast, I turned the lights on for the first time for the new arrival at 5am. She had her head bent over pointing towards the ground, then over the next 3 hours and 3 bong hits, I spent the time watching her lift her head and face the light! Neat to watch!

It is day 3 and she is doing great.

I modified a enhanced strip by cutting it in half and soldering in jumpers to complete the circuits where I cut it. Then I thermal taped them to heatsinks and mounted it in place of the LM301H ONE strips on either side of the LM301H (6500k) strip. The enhanced strips have LM301H (3500k), LM301EVO Mint, and Osram Oslon 4.24 (660nm) diodes.

Dude you are a lighting wizard. I have also been checking in on your full sized light custom build, very cool stuff.

Thanks, I do like creating things that meet my specs and whimsy! But I can go overboard sometimes, lol

I took a better pic of the light this morning at lights on, I have the sunrise and sunset set at a 1 hour ramp up-down time. You can make out the different spectrum LED's easily!

She is a leggy girl !!!

This Mephisto freebie is now 1 week old today, she is doing great. At the moment she gets 4oz of water every 3 days.

I plan on keeping her in this small airpot. I also plan on following @Vapo 's program of torturing this fine young lady into submission!

Looking great man! Been so pinched for space you inspired me to consider doing a desktop grow of my own. Curious to see you get to work on it!

Oddly enough based on the title I thought you were growing in a desktop PC, which would be cool too lol.
