Growing 2 strains, w/ Lemon Jeffery as backup.

Objective -
- Find keepers in each strain (track and b/u w/ clones each grown plant)
- Double Top, No Lowers except as Clones
- Don’t Rush / Don’t Slack (Harder than it seemed this transition!)
Grow Plan
- Scarlet Begonias and Purple Heart from Seed. Lemon Jeffery as Backup Plants.
- SOP: Soak/ShopTowels/RootRiots/1L Propagation Cell
- 15 Plants in Total
- 15 or less of Seedlings
- LJ Cuts rooted
- On Start Day
- Seed, Soak, Shop Towels, Container, Seedling Mat (~85°F), Low Light
- Take 6 cuts, 4 for potential grow (males or germination failures), and 2 for Unblock
- Grow out plants per SOP for Double Top SOG, two healthy lowers per plant for preservation cuts
- Grow each to 6 nodes, top (down) to node four (1-3 Remanning)
- Supercrop Node 3 and train branches horizontally in opposing directions
- This is the ONLY Topping we’ll do this run . . .
- Grow three more nodes, top to node Four.
- Preserve 2 healthy lower branches per plant as Clone Candidates
- Strip all Growth nodes below apical growth nodes (preserving 2 lowers)
- Grow One more node, each plant, then Top - and supercrop terminal nodes opposite one another and at a 90° angle to the direction of the first super cropping/
- When training complete, FLIP to 13/11
- 70 Days to Harvest for balance of IRIE Genetics
- 65 Days to Harvest for Purple Heart
- FLIP to 13/11 (remove dark period interruption)
- Flower as normal - MAX EC 1.8 (1.5 Nutrients + 0.3 Filtered Water)
- Rooted Leaf LIGHT Chart/HYDRO Chart as needed.
- When Plants are Ready
Environment Plan
Seedlings ( 0.3
- IDEAL Runoff Difference: [ 0.2, mS]
*I note this BECAUSE at the end of the last grow, difference was MASSIVE (1.0) after raising EC to 2.7 and bringing back down to 1.1. It never resolved before the grow was over
- [x] Drain and Store
- [x] Buffer in Rooted Leaf CalMag Fuel @ [40, ml, gal], EC: 1.9. # 1.2 - 2.0 Dr. Coco Recommended
- [x] Rinse fine peat particles out, w 3mm (Sieve) Colander
- [x] Hydrate half Brick of CocoBliss’ Coco Coir, (About 13 Gal)

- Planted 6 Scarlet Begonias and 5 Purple Hearts in 1L Airpot Propagation Cells
- Waiting for Lemon Jefferys to Root
- All Purple Hearts Germinated
- 3 Scarlet Begonias Germinated, 1 Had tamped off root, 2 awaiting germination . . .

Increased Light Distance to run @100% but with PPFD appropriate to seedlings ~300 µMol/m2/s to INCREASE TEMPERATURE in tent. Temp Trigger set @ 85°F, RH set to 68%.
Tent Environment Targets (Seedlings)
- Temp: [ 85, °F]
- RH: [ 70, %]
- VPD: [ 0.80, mS]
Tent Environment Targets (Actual, @2233)
- Temp: [ 84.4, °F]
- RH: [ 72, %]
- VPD: [ 0.85, mS]
- Watered 30 ml @ EC: 1.0, w/ runoff
- Happy Environment is Dialed - less happy about the germination state of Scarlet Begonias. (Grower Error)
- Will check water before end of day - otherwise we’re done for the week
- Glad I have LOTS of fresh coco. Hopefully we’re supplanting in about 10 days (pending sex tests)
