Hello! :baked:

I got to play with this light already a little and now it is time to give it a better shot. I chose to do the test with Dutch Passion's AutoUltimate for two reasons; one would be because I promised to provide this strain to my patient I grow for (it really works good for her pain!) and second would be that this strain is robust, very stable and have never let me down. I consider it a very good reference strain to test with since I've gotten most experience with it. I am planning on to start the seed with single HS1 as a light source, up until she starts to get a bit bigger to handle that monster of a light. I would estimate that I would do the switch when the plant is about 15 to 20 days old, depending on how fast it has grown.

My setup is as follows:

Grow space:
60cm x 100cm x 200cm (DxWxH) = 0,6 m2
(walls done with Orca grow film)

Lights:
Grow Northern Telos 0008

Reservoir:
GHE aeroponic system tank modified to be just DWC tank. I use 3" tray and 9.6 lpm airpump with 4 airstones. I start with 28 litres of water and after the roots have developed enough, I lower the volume to 21 litres. There is a robust plastic tray mounted to the bottom to protect from any water accidents.

Nutrients and additives:
Remo Nutrients (Micro, Grow, Bloom, MagNifiCal, VeloKelp, AstroFlower & Nature's Candy)
Advanced Nutrients Voodoo Juice (Beneficial bacteria product)
Canna Cannazym (Enzymeproduct to help keep the roots clean)

Air movement:
Carbon filter and exaust fan (280m3/h)
Oscillating fan

I have inserted a single seed to a rockwool cube just now. Presoaked and rinsed the whole thing in plain water that was pH'd to 5.5 for about 15 minutes and then soaked it in a solution with VeloKelp 2ml per litre (pH 6.2) for another 15 minutes.

pH 6.1
EC 0.3
RH 50
T 23,2



Week1 Feed (ml per litre):
VeloKelp 2,5ml
Voodoo Juice 1,5ml

In the hands of a skilled grower like Med I think 1lb under the 240w Telos is very achievable, no pressure @MedGrower lol.

:crying: LOL thanks guys! Yeah no pressure eh? Well lets see if she would germinate first :rofl: ....and yeah, that 1lb would be my ultimate goal with this one....or should I say auto ultimate goal?
 
It is 4 days now since I put the seed to the rockwool and haven't seen a thing. I have been getting seeds popping up typically at their 3rd day or at the latest of 4th. I will give it couple more days mercy since I am feeling patient and put another seed to germinate on sunday if nothing else. I guess these are about 2 years old seeds already so their shells might have gotten a bit hard.
