Blackberry Kush popped overnight but SSH hasn’t done anything yet. I soaked overnight on a heat mat and planted them yesterday in little domed pots.
I will update as this exciting and awesome project unfurls. 
Stick around and watch my success or failure.

You would do better with plain white painted walls than that super shiny foil.
Flat white paint provides better light reflection without hot spots from wavy foil.

I’m not sure the paint in there is exactly white but it’s close. Do you think I should tear down the mylar?

Not if its much work. The difference is there, but not huge.
The shiny stuff has been shown to be less effective than matte silver or plain flat white. But its not worth the trouble sometimes. Put a fan on it and see if it stays put and if so just carry on.
At some point later you might deal with it. Since its only the lower area its not a big deal anyway.

Yes I got a PH/TDS meter and PAR meter.
PPFD is about 255
I wish I could edit the OP but apparently it times out on this forum.

I just fired up the humidifier. It’s been running a while and the RH is still only at 35%. It’s in the lung room.
Will these parameters work or do I need to figure out how to increase humidity?

I know it’s not ideal to have a humidifier in the grow chamber but would that be a viable solution?

I was born in '86 so I don’t know if that makes me a millennial or what…

based on your drive to make it happen. Some say 70-85 for GenX. Others say 65-80.
