ya its all the way up and bright as heck. I threw in a Mars Hydro small light for more of a footprint. I’m dialed back on all lights to 60% or so to avoid foxtailing. I’m about 2 weeks from harvest and going only water for GSC this week. Cream/cheese still has about 3-4 weeks left but they are thickening up since I got more light in there.

I’m running 300L r-specs in mine, the experiment is on. I will grow one plant of the same strain under each light to see if there really is a difference. I will have one banana kush and one afghan kush in each tent under the two different lights.

Transplanted the Gelato and SK over the weekend.
Check the roots, sprouts have been given silica, Jacks, and Fishsh!t from the start.
All transplanted up to 3 gal Rain Science grow bags, in canna coco with a handful and a half of worm castings and a handful and a half of bio-char. I don’t really mix in the castings and bio-char all that much, just want it under and around the root ball to make a more comfortable place for microbes to hang out.
Running 2 HLG 135 Bspecs about 30" above the plant tops at about 65 watts each for a total of about 130 watts at this point.
Was trying to dial in 65 watts but of course it settles on this number LOL.

Planted 4 of the Cherry Ice Cream seeds last week and got 4 sprouts on Saturday, one had a bad case of “helmet head” that slowed it down a bit but got that taken care of. If you often get helmet head sprouts, plant your seeds a little deeper which helps with that - like 1/2" deep instead of 1/4".

I always run into this issue. Sometimes it could be a little frustrating when you’re a perfectionist lol

That is an absolutely awesome sight and I imagine a great source of pride…
Can’t wait to see if you get the consistency you’re looking for out of them for a first generation.
Congrats!!

Yeah it was very cool to see the seeds sprout, another successful step in the process, now to see what they grow into, should be interesting.

Day 54 of flowering for the Blue Dream clones. Been on water only (with microbes) for about 4 days now, runoff EC is about 1.2 (600 ppm) and should drop a bit daily so we can see some harvest colors start coming on soon.

@Low you will love the rapid growth with the microbes , I swear it works extremely well in vegging , I’m not sure which is best but I did like them both but to me I believe Formula A-35 Nitron did extremely well cause it was hard to get the microbe life nutrient line here in my area it’s banned , but they have a full line not just that @Low , they have a solution to ph perfect any water source for growing they microbes its in a blue bottle , have you not Google it ?
This was great stuff for soil building that I’ve also experienced.

Yeah after checking the roots for my past couple grows, the 5 gals weren’t even close to being maxed out with roots so downsizing to 3 gals seems like the way to go and not go thru any more coco than needed.

Ive found I like the 3 gallons more too, and I only fill mine like 2/3’s of the way so its not even 3 gals. They seem to do very well, and fill out the pots nicely.

@Hellraiser Does your trellis net fit perfectly, or did you have to adjust it to fit?
I got the same one as you, from vivosun, and had to cut mine up.
I have 4 of the vivosun trellis nets and they fit perfectly in my Gorilla 3x3’s, no adjusting was needed.
