All that I have
Good day everyone. A new grow was started on 9-11 and day one is 9-15.

7 DAYS OLD

Here is what I have for this go around.

Tent: 5ft x 5 ft x 7 ft La Garden brand. There are “gym” matts on top of the tent floor for insulation from sitting on concrete. The secondary tent Bottom is then placed over that layer. It does cover a 4x4 area and works great in my 5x5.

Lights: 1 BUDGET LED Series 3 SQ² Samsung LM301H 250 Watt Dimmable. 1 ChilLED 400 watt Samsung LM301B, UV and Far Reds. 650 total watts at 26 watts per sq ft. Last grow was just really nice with the addition of the 250 watts my yields almost doubled.

System: I am running an AutoPot system. This has worked marvelous for me and I do not see any change coming anytime soon. I am only using the small 2.2 gal pots. I am not using any air domes this grow. All pots will have a 4”x4” Grodan rock wool cube that sits on top and is surrounded with a mix of coco/60%, perlite/20% and BioBizz Light-Mix/20%. This “mix” is new for me. I had always gone with 100% coco and had only saw some shifting PH issues so the BioBizz Light-Mix is there to help these swings.

Nutrients: Greenleaf - Mega Crop 1 part Version 3. I will use up the last hand full of Sweet Candy and will use the Bud Explosion in flowering. Also my ladies need Cal/Mg so I bought some from Green Leaf. I will use this with every rez re-fill.

There is a 4” fan and filter. I like the tent warm so 85F is where the fan will turn on and it may go to 88F. There is a 10” floor fan for circulation. My humidity is low right now, 26-30 RH, but it will get higher when the rez is hooked up.

I am happy to welcome 3 new breeders to my tent. Hats off to ACE SEEDS, SEED STOCKERS AND 00 SEEDS. :welcome::toke:

ALL seeds were purchased from Linda Seeds.

1 - ACE SEEDS: MALAWI X NORTHERN LIGHTS. She had a slight problem. I must have put the seed into the Root Riot wrong. What "sprouted" was a white stem/root that had both ends in the Root Riot starter cube. It continued to grow a few days b4 I decided it was time to pull her head out of the ground. Now which end was the top and which was the root. I pulled on the center and nothing moved. So I tugged on one end and thankfully it was the top. The stem was sort of bent and twisted as you can see in the pics. So she was a little bit behind on her sisters.
