With the tent all set up and operating within acceptable temps (running at 79 degrees inside), it's germination time. Using pellets and a little dome-- Ph'd water to 6.0, soaked the pellets and stuck the seeds. Now we wait.
Germination started Wed, 2/15
Transferred to 3gal pots Fri, 2/17
First cotyledons spotted Sat, 2/18
Update 2/19: 4 seedlings looking good // RIP Liberty Haze #1 and Sweet Tooth. I didn't plant you deep enough, you died for science. Welcome to the world, Liberty Haze #3 and Purple Trainwreck.
Hehe still think you shoulda threw that Green Crack down this run ;)
The setup looks good, can't wait to see it up and running. GL on seed germing!

Looking great firestarter ! Twisted firestarter aha what a set up for a first grow ! I remember my first grow all them year ago stuck in a cupboard with no in or out under CFL 😂 Good times... Anyways that's enough of that I'll be watching this one closely to see how it turns out ! Best of luck buddy peace
@Bstoner, mainly because I had no idea what I was doing or when was right to start training... and then they got so big I started pruning just so they wouldn't overrun each other's space. But I only vegged for 5 weeks-- they absolutely blew up in the last week. Will definitely flip earlier next time.
I also should have topped my plants much earlier, but us first time growers have to make a few mistakes along the way, right? You must be psyched to start making flowers.
Looking good! I was a High Times Cannabis Cup judge in Amsterdam 3 years straight (Cups 23-24-25) and the Liberty Haze and Tangerine Dream were contenders during that time. Both are excellent, but the TD is exceptional! 👌 Good luck!
Ticks all the right boxes 👍 Watch out for humidity 👌 Yellowing can be a sign of a deficiency,but I have the same issue at flowering with one of mine - if it's just one plant it's unlikely it's the nutrients or ph .
@BigDaddyK thanks for the tip-- yeah I'm thinking it's most likely sensitivity to chlorination-- none of the others are showing any signs, and it's otherwise looking pretty robust, so not gonna worry too too much about it. Got myself a 5gal bucket and letting the water sit out 24hrs from now on (also a little aquarium pump and some hose, 'cause I'm tired of using a pump sprayer)

Ps I have an olive packing drum that I bought for $15 that I thoroughly rinsed out , its 220 l and you can leave the water 💦 there while it dechlorinates for 24 hrs
@BigDaddyK, now that they've cure a while, Tangerine Dream the definite winner. My preferences lean indica anyway, and it's extremely relaxing but with a mild, manageable euphoria too. Love it.
Looks good! Nice and frosty ... just got some Tangerine Dream and Acapulco Gold by Barney's ... will give those a go next run :-) I see you're rocking the CMH 315W ... how do you like them? I just switched a couple of weeks into my first grow and notice a huge difference from my last with the cheap LED I had.
@ElevatedThinking, absolutely love the cMH-- was originally planning on going with LED (had my eye on the Solar Flare), but was convinced otherwise at the last minute. Couldn't be happier with the result, and a few commercial growing friends agreed after the fact I made the right decision.
