I've taken a month or so off, given I have plenty of cannabis on the shelf and/or it's a great time to be able to do some vacationing, not to mention easier not to fight the heat/humidity fluctuations of summer. But now looking at fall, it's time to get back into it.
As usual, I pulled everything out of the tent, vacuumed and wiped it all down pretty carefully so we have a sanitized grow. For germination week it will be dark but once we get some action, I'll use the center 225 for lighting until they're big enough to need more/wider lighting. That'll also keep the heat/humidity a bit more under control for the last part of summer.
The seeds are Victory Chocodope (their version of Chocolope)...an 80/20 sativa/indica hybrid leaning heavily on a variety of landrace Sativas and some hazes. The description is OG Chocolate Thai x Cannalope Haze (Original Haze x Mexican/Colombian/Thai/Indian Sativas). I'm ready to manhandle these to stay short as needed.
The prep is ProMix HP+ with Xtreme Mykos added; wetted with water(dehumidifier condensate)+Ca/Mg+Epsom+1g Maxigrow, then adjusted to 6.3ph just to give some nutrient value to the soil into 3/4 gallon pots. Seeds are inserted in the medium @ half an inch, and they're on a heat-mat set to 81f degrees with the sensor inserted into one of the pots at seed height.
Other setup stuff:
Tent is 32"x60"x80
3x HLG 225's
Ventilation: AC Infinity T6 and S6 fans with a Terrabloom filter (in tent) Currently running a Controller 67, but will soon move to a Controller 69Wifi once available.
Heat/Humidity: Inkbird wifi heat controller with just a small oil filled 400w panel + Inkbird bluetooth humidity controller with a small humidifier. Any dehumidification will happen outside the tent and there's two other dehumidifiers picking up that slack.
8.23.2022: Both seeds came through the soil today, turned on the light/timer set to 18/6 and hitting at about 165PPFD.
