Excellent 10am delivery!
And without further ado, here’s the new light and some settings testing at 25% 50% 75% and 100% at 22”
Mars hydro FC-E8000
And a few pics of how I hung them, used the 4 way hanger from one of my 1500W KingLED’s for the middle and out a double strap on it, need to pick up 2 more of the YoYo’s so each corner has its own as well as the middle having and front and back side, milled of the lights are zip tied together even. Worked exactly as planned! Felt bad chopping those side arms in half before it’s even been put together but I had a plan and just went for it haha
Just under 70DLI at 22” and 100%, brought them back down to 330ish PPFD as I’m still lighting seedlings lol. It’s around 30-33% atm
Which lights are those @Mikedin
It’s a marshydro FC-E8000
Alright so just sitting at work and got a phone call, mother in law had to come get veggies out of my car but came by with a special delivery lol
She said they have been in the water for 4 days they look like they just got cut haha 3 Cinderella 99 and he said there’s some kind of Congo strain plants he had so he took 2 cuttings of those (the lighter color cuts) the “Congo strain” will need to be reverted back as you can see they are in preflower but they are holding up nicely on their own sadly they have to sit in my car for the next 9 hours, luckily it’s a overcast drizzly day outside and only about 70f
Alright well today is day 9 on average, one runt really lagging behind but the rest are starting to get at it
Didn’t have a dome for the cuttings so just tossed them in a fresh cup of water, trimmed the leaves a bit and shortened them up and put in a 5 gallon bucket on the floor with plastic wrap to hold in extra humidity and I sprayed the bucket a bit. The tent is at 65-67%RH. On the floor the bucket it getting 100PPFD
went with solo cups with some seed starter soil, (light warrior brand) they only had one choice for rooting agent (a powder) so I grabbed that, I cut 3 slots in the bottom of each solo cup and pre watered to slight runoff dipped the clones after I shortened them up a bit and got at least 1 good node under the soil and coated in powder, and for good measure added in a bit of great white shark myco
Capt. jacks deadbug I bought last time I was there and forgot it they saved it under the counter for me (and called me to let me know I left it) just had a chance to go back to pick it up before I get ready for work tonight so I could get those clones out of water lol
This stuff seems like a pretty good mix very loose, lots of perlite etc
Put these back in the 5 gallon bucket with stretch wrap over it with some holes in it and back in the floor for now
Well here’s the day 10 update (from when the first seedling broke soil) one is really behind but she decided to wear her cap a little too long and got a bit twisted but she’s coming around
Lights at about 40% at 20” PPFD at 350 from the shortest plant and about 390 to the tallest (Hindu Kush #2) this is the 2nd time I grew this strain and from the same pack of seeds from the first one, the first time around both plants looked a bit smaller than the one labeled Hindu Kush #1, for some reason #2 is at least double to triple what they where at 10 days last run might have a monster here lol
Looking good for only being 10 days above ground. I have one that popped up 6 days ago so I should be right there with you on this grow. Keep up the good work
Well I stopped by a seed bank on the way to work, these will go in one seed at a time and only to produce a mother when needed. Wanted to have a strain I knew exactly where it was from without doubt. I’ll start one of these probably tomorrow and get a mother going, as soon as she’s cloneable I’ll take 6 clones and start the next run while my autos are mid flower should time out close, current run should be done in give or take 10 weeks hopefully that’ll be enough time to get the mother big enough, and root clones, and start them vegging out. Never did photos / or clones indoors before so it’ll be an experience
The description on that mind melter looks delicious
Just checked out some of their strains on north Atlantic’s site damnnn some of those look frosty as hell
If you do buy i suggest going to their website and buying directly they sometimes throw in free packs with purchases and also this month is free Bahama mama packs with every purchase and if you happen to know what discord is i suggest joining their server they give away free packs daily
Oh damn, hell yeah I have discord, I’ll check it out for sure!
My cover crop mix got delivered and just got put into the pots!
Only 12 days old but she’s almost twice as big as any other plant in the tent, she needed her LST to start early lol
Wow! She’s going to be a monster!
