Preface: Been a little over a decade since my last grow. Wife, kids, LAWS and life kept me at bay waiting patiently for this day. I'm not gonna lie. The setup I chose for my current circumstances is a lot more cramped than I'm used to. I'm old school closet with CFL & HPS bulbs. 3x3 is just soooo small so that has been #1 on my mind as far as concerns (more height than anything). Hopefully where it falls short in size and power- the energy savings, grow techniques, advanced automation and the targeted spectrum supplimental lighting will more than make up for this and still end up with a bountiful crop. This is my hopes. I know the fundamentals of the game don't change, so I'm excited to see what magic happens here. Anyways, I've had everything lined up waiting for the golden date of Dec 7th (Ohio goes legal) since it passed the ballot - 3 times is the charm I guess? This is one of 3 strains I'm running this cycle. Due to limited grow space... this will be a seed to harvest grow. I have 3 goals. 1st keeping it 💯 natural... 2 having fun doing it with minimal stress to myself and my plants, and 3 to not overcrowd the very limited space I have. I believe, like my past grows, Everything else good will follow. I'm ABSOLUTELY STOKED! A new chapter in life has begun. Note: I just registered here yesterday after discovering this awesome community. So this portion is being backlogged. I'm gonna post the equipment and supplies I'll be using in the photos with links. I aim to get a full ROI within 1-2 grow cycles. Humidifiers are temporary and will be replaced by a T7 once it clears backorder. The ReptiTrip kept beeping everytime the outlet controller went on and off. So I gained access to the PCB and desoldered the "Buzz" speaker. This of course voids my warranty but my sanity stays. I will update any new equipment/materials/supplies if necessary. If there's better places to buy some of this or if you have questions about anything (ie what I like, don't like, or what could be better)... please note it in the comments! As far as germination... I simply placed seeds in a shot glass in a dark spot @ room temperature and waited for the taproot tail to get around 1/2" long. This method worked well for this. I had to use a combo of this and PT on the others. NOTE*** This is a 2 day partial week - just the taproots.

Very nice plants so far, the graduation of the light cycle may not be as important as you may think I've done similarly with my Optic Led 3 way adjustable light and controller after about 3 runs it really made no difference except to cut down on PPFD and DLI. I start at 50% then to needed power then just off at the end. Your investment in gear will pay off!! Nice way to get back into the game best of

@ToastFarmer, Thanks I appreciate it. With my old gear back in the day it was on and done. There was no easing into the light cycle. The new tech is fantastic with a few caveats. For example the controller 69 pro doesn't forward DST to individual ports even though it will update in the main system. Super glad I stayed up to 2am to monitor this. So with all 8 ports customed programed with day and night schedules, that was a slight pain. Old school timers keep trucking along without worry. As far as the graduation of the light cycle... it's really important in my eyes for this specific grow. Let me explain my thinking... The S16 & S11 only take 72 min to fire up to full power and they're actually on 12hr 20min cycles. They're surprisingly bright when tandemed together in a 3x3. On 10 minutes before overhead fixture, Off 10 minutes after. I now have them to full power in 50 minutes stepping up a level every 5 minutes. I have the overhead stepping up in levels every 12 minutes since phenotype "A" of SLH is only 6" from the fixture. I don't want to burn the top. It's became a balancing act and IMO (I don't have a good PPFD/DLI/PAR/LUX meter YET!) I'm striking middle ground quite well. I'm going old school and slowly stepping up and observing along with taking readings using an app. Seems to be working really well so far and if it fairs out, I may wait a little while before committing on buying a good meter. I appreciate you calling it out. I thought about super cropping, but I don't feel that's necessary now. I absolutely would reduce if not eliminate it all together if it wasn't for SLH which has over tripled in size the last 3 weeks. I'll upload pics showing this later on. They're starting to fill out nicely.

@OhioriverHomestead, Nice Bro if you still have some come harvest maybe we'll have to compare our results! Back in the day, before I had kids, I grew this for a minute. Really hoping for that award winning super lemon flavor in one of these girls. They are so different and have been since day 1 so I'm somewhat hopeful to score one this time. If not I still have 2 seeds left. @ILGM don't let me down. That said, I haven't had a SLH pheno that I regretted yet. Last time, had 2 as well (buddy mothered) and one had a lemon zest to it - it was settle and smooth. The other was a chronic high with none of the terps I was expecting. I'm running the Samsung LM301B LED that came with the tent w/ S11 IONBEAM Bars as supplemental lighting on the sides. Come flower I'll be utilizing the the IONBEAM U4 Targeted spectrum as well. If you go back to my first week I give a rundown of equipment & links to each. This LED thing is completely new to me... love the utility savings and how I can adjust brightness on the fly.

Congrats on the legal grow, wish my state was legal too. One day. They're looking great, looks like 10 years absence from growing no issue! You mentioned the small 3x3 tent... I've been using a 2x2x5 tent the past 3 years since it's a low-profile grow. At first I tried fitting 4 plants in there was which nuts. Zero space once they bushed out. I dialed back to 1 plant which worked well. I'll get a bigger tent once it's legal here. Happy growing buddy!

@@Chunga, might want to rethink it. Tie down got kinda outta control. Especially if the strain is a stretcher!

@@Chunga, Thanks again. We can't learn unless we experiment. So I 💯 agree with you. As stated in week 1 of diary, I want have fun with it. I've always believed plants in general feed off positive vibes and care. Speaking of funny... or ironic rather, I waited for this moment since the 90s. I've settled down a hair since and decided to have a family. I still live in spitting distance from my home town. Shit goes legal, and here I'm stoked, feeling like I've aquired a small fortune in Amazon stocks... yet all my bros who I envisioned sharing this moment with, are MIA due to cleaning up, getting locked up, dead or got the hell outta Dodge? This is not quite the way I envisioned my first legal grow 20 yrs ago lmao! Not sure how many in this community has experienced this... kinda bitter-sweet. But there are a few of my bros who got their own grows going strong. As of now our harvest looks staggered just right that we've made a pact to aide each other during the trim process. That is the moments I'm looking forward to. We're all growing killer strains that are different.

@@CRANKSTER_420, Yep, only a matter of time... once the pols finally catch up with public opinion. it's funny how every grow is an experiment. Your LST looks awesome. Agreed, the tie down would be good for my tent, will be trying it this year. 👍
