Starting new grow with Skywalker OG kindly gifted from Jim@ Nirvana Seeds. Got 10 beans so i hope i will finish having 8 healthy seedlings. No room for pheno-hunting on this run.
I looking for a faster harvest time on this grow, probably shorter veg time.
Also this is going to be first time using DIY HPA Aeroponic 25l bucket system and closed room setup with 9000BTU AC unit and CO2 tank
After germination probably starting in a 120x120 grow tent with 3 x 120w Bridgelux led bars on 3 x Meanwell HLG120c1050 power supply's for vegetative stage. If HLG Scorpion Diablo arrive i will swish light. Or i will start immediately in big flowering box.
Flowering in 240x240x240 DIY grow tent in 120x230 grow area using 1100w DYI Bridgelux LED bars on 4x Meanwell HLG240c1050 +2x Meanwell HLG120c1050 power supply

@FrontRowAG_BrianG,
30l White buckets are from corn syrup got it used for free, it cost in my country 1eur, wrap it with two layers off thermal insulation and white stretchy foil, all connectors are for RO water , and 14mm rubber gaskets around misting nozzles are from Ali Express. Everything is much cheaper than any hydro system to make and easier, first time no dripping at all
@WhiteEdge, Thanks for visiting my corner of GD. My ladies and i appreciate the love ๐. Apollo is so close to harvest. I think within a week. I get hit in the face with citrus diesel when I open the tent. And she is sticky.
@Golden,
Hello Golden, well i hope for around +-1000g from this 4 girls....In past with Nirvana strains its easily done.. Let see in new Aero watering..
Nirvana is great!
@WhiteEdge, YUP you are 100% right. Keep those temperature gaps close in VEG & EARLY FLOWER and we will get no extra stretch, Just what is within the genetic code of the cultivar being grown. Surprisingly you will find out with proper light intensity & temperature management, Not many strains stretch and get super lanky. Most all grow fairly robust and stalky
