Utopia Haze on coco under LED

Long before I started growing, I already fantasized about growing a true sativa dominant strain. So, with 2 grows experience, I selected Barney’s Farm Utopia Haze. A 90% sativa dominant strain and, as the name suggest, delivering a “long lasting cerebral Sativa high”. The biggest challenge this grow will be to keep their height in check. So welcome to my grow! On Tuesday, September 22, I dropped three seeds into Jiffy pellets, putted those into the propagator and three days later, on Friday, they were all up and running. Friday September 25 is day 1. ********************************************************************************************************************************** Main setup: Tent: Secret Jardin DS120W R4.0 Darkstreet; Lights: Mars Hydro TSL 2000 (both panels fully dimmed: 82 watt, maximum usage: 320 watt); Relay timer: Davin Hobby Timer DV-400 W 1x 400W (not necessary with LED grow, but better safe than sorry); Exhaust: Vents TT 125 UnR1 (280 m2/hr, temperature controlled, buildin dimmer); Intake: 2 passive intakes on both sides of the tent with Secret Jardin DF16 Ducting Flanges and Secret Jardin DF16LB R4.00 Light Baffles; Ducting: Sonoconnect ducting (sound insulated); Filter: CAN Original Filter (200 m2/hr, not installed yet); Ventilation: Secret Jardin Monkey Fan 16W; Ventilation 2: Secret Jardin Monkey Fan Oscillating 20W (not installed yet).

Medium equipment and products: Final Pots: 25L AirRap pots; Early veg pots: 1L plastic pots; Germination medium: Jiffy peat pellets; Medium: Canna Coco Professional mixed with 35% perlite (about 75% is being re-used from last grow, fully rinsed and rebuffered); Nutrients: see above in the dedicated nutrients section from the diary.

And off course a load of typical household items are used during this grow, such as buckets, clips, towels, a pair of Ikebana scissors for dry trimming after harvest, mason jars for curing and a bunch of mini hygrometers. To protect my eyes, I use a good pair of Ski Goggles when working in the tent with lights on. I use a camping washing machine and Bubblebagdudes Bubble Bags 5 Gallon 8 Bag Set for hash making. ***************************************************************************************************** Strain info (from breeder): “UTOPIA HAZE is the result from generations of backcrossing and selection from a prized Brazilian landrace. In its first Cannabis cup the UTOPIA HAZE took both Cannabis and Sativa cups, and was called the overall favourite of the event. This is a tall mould and disease resistant plant, growing up to 130cm, and boasts a high yield of 650g per square metre. It bursts with citrus and mint flavours, and will give you a long lasting cerebral Sativa high.”
