Keef_Moon This one should be interesting. I held off for a while to look for intel and didn’t find much. A couple pioneers on Reddit offered some tips. So here’s the plan… dial in Barbuda as best as I can. You get to enjoy the success or the failure. The environment is the easy part. The light schedule is hypothetical???
I was alerted that I’d need to veg at 12/12 by a redditor. This gave me pause and then made complete sense. Its core is feral equatorial crossed with stabilized strains a bit. And after watching the documentary, it’s clearly being pheno hunted in Barbuda. Which unless the planet’s axis has changed, it’s vegging in 12/12.
What I’m in the middle of now is a taper down. I throttled at 24 hours for a few days after germ. I went to 18/6 for a few more. I’m holding here at 16 hours for now. It’ll be subjective but the end game is to be at 12/12 by node 5-6. With each step in time however, I’m adjusting to keep the 20 DLI for seedling. Where my DLI will settle for the remainder, once it’s up on plane, remains a mystery. I’m assuming there’s a cap where it just cruises because the days won’t change like a hybrid. So I’ll probably aim for a ball park and use time lapse to find their night time droop as the signal.
This is day 7 and using a cannakan to germ shaved days off conventional methods. 2 are gifts.

Keef_Moon I feel like I’ve found a cheat code. I’ve never had growth this fast. I’ve been eyeballing tray2grow for a while now. However I was fighting the idea of coco coir. I wanted coco hydro mechanics without the coco chemistry. I did a test run with some black widow on the T2G and did some tweaks. Straight promix was a bit too swampy for it so I added 20% pumice for this run. Just mixing it, I could feel it was right. These results are definitely remarkable.
These are ACI 1/2 gal nursery bags (cheap and porous). After seeing air pruning on day 12, I’ll just simply drop them into their forever 5 gal. No root binding and they just continue on. They’ve tapered to 14 hours 20dli. Node 5 will be 12/12 and observe.
