Welcome to my Aneisa Seed Mixed Strain Diary.
Choosing 2 top sounding strains. Future# 2 seeds (phenos) and The Sin '1 seed' (pheno)
Plants are in their early stages. Things are moving a lot slower than my summer crop. My temperatures are far from ideal. And low RH mixed with low temps, they're finding it hard and slow to get out the gate. Also, I've adopted a new policy. Not stressing my plants out will be a major key thing im going to try implement. As I always seem to push them past their needs par intake wise.
So, with that been said. I'm running 16hrs a day for their 1st 7-10 days (seedling stage) keeping the lux in my 2,3.m2 tent from 1050 at the edges to 1500 in the middle. I've had to raise my light more than what I normally do. But, to get as even a ppfd mapped out on my short tent space (veg tent) I've had to turn my light up to 80% and set it a little higher. But height really doesn't matter once you know what lux you're plants canopies are getting. 10k lux is 10k lux from 45cm or 80cm, been the temperatures is low there's no heat stress from the light. LVPD is the same. Really am glad I invested in a lux meter.
So, by lowering my DLI by a lot. I'm hoping to achieve in the long run, better formed plant, with tight inters, with tight colas. DLI will be used a lot throughout the phases of this crop.
Its set in-between 23-25 for the seedling stage. I'm going to up it in the coming week when they've left said stage to 650 lux or 35 DLI.
Keeping in mind. Im far from my ideal conditions temp/rh wise. So, I'll be focusing on bringing them into proper ranges.
Thanks to Aneisa Seeds for allowing me to test their strains. And to Spiderfarmer for supplying me with fantastic lights.
