Hey everyone! Follow along if you'd like, as I grow a total of 6 plants, 5 strains, of my 3rd round of growing, first time CSI. I'll be running 5 plants in a 2X4 tent indoors, and a single Chem D x Sweet 16, AKA That Sweet D, lol. The indoor plants are 1 each of Trinity x Chem D, Chem D x Obama Kush. And 2 GDP x Chem D, AKA Grandpa's D, lol. Hilarious name's!
So the fifth one is sprouting from the soil now. The first GDP x T-1000 I germinated sprouted out of the soil fine, but the shell I had to remove, and the cotyledens wouldn't open. So I have another coming up now. Hopefully no issue with the shell on this one.
The outdoor Sweet D will be in a 10-15 gallon pot in COM Stonington Blend. Indoor plants will be in 3 gallon fabric pots in a homemade blend.
Blend is per 10 gallons of the base soil mix
5 gallons Stonington, 5 gallons Happy Frog
4 cups worm castings
6 cups perlite
1/2 cup of Build A Soil Craft Blend
The indoor plants are going to be a turn and burn kind of grow. Original plan was to grow 2 plants, 1 D x GDP, and 1 Trinity x D. But the rest of the seeds were calling me!
So the originals are about 5 days or so ahead of the second pop, and the T1000 cross is a week behind the second pop.
I have a 2X4 AC Infinity tent with the Controller 69 (BT) controlling a 4" fan mounted outside the tent.
1 Viparspectra XS 2000 (220W), and 1 XS 1000 (100W) lights. This setup gives me flexibility if some plants stretch more than others. I learned this my last grow when 1 plant stretched more than the other. I originally bolted the 2 lights together.
I have a cheap humidifier I got from Ocean State Job Lots for about 25 beans. That's controlled by the Controller 69 by way of the outlet adapter for it.
I have a cheap little heater that will keep it about 72 F on the 80 F auto setting, lol. Not ideal, but I don't have a lot of room in the tent for a bigger one. Once my basement warms up some, it will be better.
This all keeps my environment pretty dialed in. It's small, but it's only for me and my wife. My last (2nd) grow I pulled 13 zips from 2 plants of suspect lineage, lol.
I followed the Build A Soil basic schedule, and will do the same this grow, just at an accelerated rate to try to keep from out growing my space.
I'd love some advice on whether to let them grow naturally, or top them? I was thinking top them at 3rd node, give them a week, and flip. What say ye?
Shit, I didn't mean for the post to be this long!!
Well hopefully you made it this far, good reader, lol. Here's pics for you, all but the T1000 cross.
Thanks for your time.
