The tent is 32x32x63” odd size bit, I like it, not sure if I can mention brands.

The light is kind of nifty, heavy, no fan, run silently, it’s a BU 2000 LED Grow Light, Full Spectrum with IR, 4x4FT Coverage, Dimmable, Adjustable Light Panel, 816 LEDs, High PPFD, Plant Grow Light for Indoor Plants Seedling Growing Flowering Fruiting…yeah copy and paste comes in handy lol!


Look :eyes: it folds also!

What was very cool with this light was it’s harnesses, very simple, I’m sure some of have probably seen these/used them, very simple.


Not really sure the use of the dimmer quite yet? Anyone?@docnraq

The dimmer is to adjust light settings to various stages of growth.
You only want it on low for seedling stage.
You don’t need lights on until you have plant seed in medium,soil hydro or coco.
Just put seedling in a warm dark spot -20- 25 degrees Celsius.68-77f

:heavy_check_mark: figured so, this will be my substrate, happy frog :frog: and coco coir, ( left over from the {OII} ), mixing together I guess 1/2 and 1/2 ( my other grow I just used good old Bushdoctor Coco Loco) @operation: MINDCRIME not sure if this will link to the other grow lol


I also have this stuff I used in my {OII} shroom grow, vermiculite and gypsum, not sure of any substrate recipe that includes these in the substrate, any ideas? I’ll be using a 5 gallon grow pot for this endeavor, I’m also sold on the Humboldt’s line feed/fertilizers, so the same will be used with this project.

February 19th- as I used to say back when I drank “pop the top” lol so far photo period germination takes a tiny bit longer, probably just me noticing or maybe it’s because I didn’t do all three and just 1… well anyway she is alive and kicking finally, mixed up the happy frog and coco coir, after mixing 1/2 to 1/2 ratio, it’s like I really just made my own coco loco lol

February 21st- Not sure if she’s being moody, or maybe possibly it’s because it’s a photo? Just seems like it’s taking far longer than it’s Auto cousins?


I foresee putting her into her first home tomorrow afternoon/evening at this rate.
