My next run is locked and loaded. I've been given an opportunity to show off yet another fine example of Nirvana's stellar genetics. I'm excited for this one, Swiss Cheese. It's supposed to bring the funk, with an aroma they described as "loud"....I can't wait lol. Thanks again, Jim.
The flower tent just started it's next run, so I got plenty of veg time for these babies. Up front I'm thinking of 2 toppings, then I'll decide if I'm gonna go mainline or SCROG. If I mainline I'll go a little cleaner than my last run. I'm only flowering 4 to allow a little more room this run either way.
So the seeds arrived on 3/18 and went straight into a shotglass of water for an overnight soak. I prefer not to soak until they pop, just long enough to wake them up and soften the shell some. Tap roots are fragile and I'd rather they emerge while in the Rapid Rooter. I try to also keep the hinge up, though if it turns I don't try digging it out either, it will fix itself if it happens. I just use a clear tote for a humidity dome, strictly to keep the Rapid Rooters from drying out, once they emerge it comes off. My basement is on the cooler side so I keep my germination table near the boiler unit to help keep them a little warmer. I prep my coco and fill my pots. I precharged them with some pHed water(@ 5.8) and CalMag. All 5 of these broke ground on the 3rd day and went straight into their 1gal pots on 3/23. This morning(3/24) they're all oriented and pointing straight.
Looks like another hassle free germination, but that's always the case with Nirvana in my experience. They might not carry as big of a selection some of the other breeders/brokers out there but the quality is always top notch. 👌
Hey Scrubby, Nice buds brother. Looking like fire!!
Thanks for the response to my question.
As for the lighting I am running an HLG Scorpion Diablo V2 in my flower tent. In my veg tent I run the HLG 300L for early veg and then transition to my HLG 350R for mid to late veg then run the Scorpion Diablo for flowing. So I’m definitely dialled in for some CO2 action.
@Scrubbyjimbob, plant height and temps aren’t really a concern for me at the moment. I have a AC unit chilling my lung room to 18 deg C and the temperature in my tent runs about 23-24 degrees C with the lights on. But either way I’m going to give running CO2 a go. Tons of studies out there that say supplemented CO2 helps with photosynthesis. Still have had great results under my diablo with no supplemental CO2 but I’d like to be able to push that light to about 1,100-1,200 micromoles.
@Papa_T, Thx for checking out my grow. I only glanced at a current journal, so only saw the veg light. Really even with the Diablo I'd only worry about CO2 if you're having issues managing plant height and you run into a lot of light/heat stress issues.
I've seen buds practically touching high powered LEDs without burning or bleaching under CO2 but I wouldn't necessarily say it noticeably improves bud size or quality. In my opinion at least.
