RepeatOffender This grow is an orientation of my new tent. Let's see what works and what doesn't with leftover seeds. Waiting to see if the Pineapple Jack will germinate or not. It's getting well up over 100 degrees in the shed. Looking a tad leggy, so I dropped the light from 24" down to 18". Also noticed: you have to water these pots that have perlite in them. Not so much the case with the first grow I'm working on. First time I've added Perlite to potting soil. Water runs right through the pot now. Have to be careful the catch-pan doesn't overflow. Dropping the light seems to have made a big difference (if a big difference can be observed in a single day). Taking off like a rocket. This is one of four that loves a lot of light. Had to dim it to 25% for the other seedlings. Got the drip system tuned-in. Had a little too much flow due to my programming error. Good thing the pots were large and the mix was good. No reason to open the tent for the next week.

RepeatOffender So far ... growing like a champ. 8" in 23 days. I will top all of these plants to try and keep them from outgrowing the tent. Topped today (7 SEP). Removed lower growth. Took quite a bit of height away the plant. Increasing irrigation drip from 5 minutes to 10 minutes. Will be looking for runoff in the drip pan. Topping didn't slow growth. Will raise the light a few more inches. It's still at only half power. Light is now at 48" and the leaves on the plants stopped tacoing. Not seeing any runoff with the auto drip set at 10 mins (upping to 15 mins).

RepeatOffender Probably waited a week too long to induce flowering. Might have an issue with the stretch at this point. Lesson Learned: Know your internal height limits. For me, I can only get 60" of rise on my lamp. I should be leaving 18" of clearance below the light, leaving me with 42" to the canopy top. I've got 12" of substrate. Plants should be at 12/12 when they are just 15" tall. Will have to look into LST ASAP.

RepeatOffender Definitely let this plant grow too much before going to 12/12. The other three plants in the tent aren't growing at this rate. All things considered, I should have used this tent for this plant alone. I will have to try that at the same time next year (after looking at my electric bill, of course 😅). Of note: early soil prep was great for this grow. Have had zero need to adjust the pH on any of these plants. Next grow I will layer the soil: 2" with 66/33 potting soil/perlite at the bottom of the pot, followed by 2" of potting soil. After that I'll fill the pot with 66/33 potting soil/perlite. Am thinking this will preclude any runoff while keeping root tips healthy.
