This week my girl moved to a new tent, with new lighting, and brand new shoes.
She now resides in a Gorilla Grow 2X4X8ft. tent.
Her light is a HollandStar X6 that I purchased on Amazon for about $100CAN on sale. It pulls 300W @ 120V from the wall. Running her with both Bloom and Veg switches on it photographs very Blurple, but appears quite white to the eye. The last two pics are with just the bloom COBs on. Let's see what this cheapo light can do. The LED market is moving so quickly lately with new technology, and is slowly coming down in price. The day after purchasing a new light, something better and cheaper comes along. I will invest in a better light... eventually.
On day 48 she was transplanted into a Econo Grow 4000 trade size #10 pot that holds about 9.16 U.S. Gallons of media. You can see the 3 Gallon Air-Pot did a great job of Air pruning the roots and produced a dense root-ball that was easy to transplant. I like the way the Air-Pot comes apart when transplanting. It's only downfall is you have to water it slowly or else everything just runs out the side holes. The media is 50/50 Pro-Mix/Coco Coir (recycled from my Smoothie Auto grow) with Gaia Green Organic 2-8-4 Dry amendment at a rate of 9 Teaspoons/Gallon (3TBSP/GAL, or 44mL/GAL) of media.
On D48 I addressed some of the runaway branches with topping and super-cropping.
Today, Day 49, April Fool's Day she was switched to a 12/12 light.
Stay Green Everyone (in a good way๐)!

@GreenHouseLab, wow, tough question, so far all 3/3 beans have been stellar plants to grow and I recommend them all. With the busy summer months and fishing season in mind, I'd recommend the Ashava Valley Cheese. No muss, no fuss with the Gaia nutes. Just some Cal/mag and pH'd water. Great terps so far, sticky, grows fast, and can be ScrOG'd out with little training. All depends on what your looking to do grow wise.
