Coco PH 6.0, will be moved to soil once 2" tall. Will stay till 3rd week of veg.

seeds popped tails and looking well developed. into bubble cloner now to start seedlings. After they get to 2 or 3 inches high will transplant into super soil mix and then Propogation tent till 2' high or other grow finishes. Will grab clones from ACE to start also.

Holy hell! I went from ziplock and paper towels, to seedling 🌱 in record time! I have true leaves and roots already starting. These pics were 71 hours after I added water to seed and today. I will update a new post today with that as well, but wanted to get these up.

Going Hydroponic right after Poping the Beans has really dramatically increased growth. Even the seedling stems look amazing. I should be transplanting to Super Soil in 2 maybe 3 days at this rate with great roots.

After 13 days or so from seed, 3 sets of leaves, 3 1/2" tall, good roots (Thanks Clonex) and transplanted into my super soil mix. Now into propogation tent at 80% humidity to grow for 2 weeks, hardening off this week, mat at 72 degrees, nutrient rich water at bottom of 120 tray in the AC Infinity Humidity tray with S16 lights attached at 50% power, off at 1am and on at 5am. once hardened, I will add the fan into mix and let them grow till done with main grow in main tent 4 or 5 weeks (I messed up starting out with light at top and not enough light) but once I go to move to main tent, I will have cut off all the seedling and veg time to compete in main tent.

man, the girls are taking off like i couldn't imagine. even the one left hydroponically is doing good. not as good as these girls, but man, must be something in the water round here lol

Explosive growth, strong stems, wow!

Here's the before, forgot to take a pic so will update post tomorrow with growth so far.

Let me tell ya, having a propogation tent is helping so much to speed up. Its nice for a small enclosed space to keep a higher humidity without killing my budget like the big tent does.

These are in my Propogation tent because I started them too soon. Im afraid if I don't start LST soon I will miss the opportunity due to my main tent is now in veg. What say you?

Well due to the state of the economy, my girls instead of partying , have opted to stay home and veg. Im one proud papa lol. Really thinking I should top these again now.

Everything is growing and growing. I have Pink, Brown and White culinary mushrooms growing above my girls at stage 1 lighting (S-16 Ion) and below the lighting is on stage 6 for my girls. Figured out i can take my extra UVA AC infinity lights (just bought them for the Led driver) and wire them into the lightsbat the bottom for the plants. Wonder what it would do at such a close proximity?

These plants are taking off. Between the soil mixture, RO water @6.1, doing a butt chug, no deficiencies in the leaves at all. I plan on 2 more toppings before I transplant into big tent. As a Bonus, we harvested Brown, white and Pink oyster Mushrooms. I have my propogation tent vented into my main tent to recycle the CO2 made my mushrooms, the humidity and heat. Keeps everything in balance. Lung room kept at 68 degrees on average, roots at 61F.

Decided due to my poor timing ( and i didnt realize either I would break a main branch and have to wait to veg outta the situation) I am about a week over when I anticipated being done with drying. So now I have topped i think 3 times and started training. My goal is to have a plant, trained, and in veg before I transplant out of my propogation tent and into my main tent. If the auto gets done fast enough GSC will replace her.

Training tonight was going great, till I looked at the camera in the Propogation tent. Frickin stem broke. So treated it with aloe, wrapped it tight in green gardeners tape (it stretches and grows with the plant) and supported it in the direction i wanted. Now I hope it survives. I will give it more Silia tomorrow when Amazon brings it. Hang on girl.

On this episode of Plant General Hospital it's the Platinum that has came back from certain death only to realize it's sister is marked for death if she has male traits. Stay tuned

Broke another stem and had to repair it, but got all 3 mainline with hst, topped several times, and such good genetics from Pacific these things keep exploding like crazy. This will be a good harvest when I move to the main tent and my Vivosun.

These girls are growing like crazy. Recovered from HST and topping again. These will be ready for the main tent in two weeks, and straight to flower.

I know it's a goal, not in a hurry at all, but I'm excited to see my timing work out. This way I can start tomatoes in my prop tent for this year's garden. The stems are over a 1"4 " in diameter.

I have to say, one of my favorite YouTube channels got me wanting a propogation tent when I watched the unboxing. So I made sure to have one ready for when I set up my main tent. With using the smaller space, less resources, I will be able to turn around another set of girls by cutting off the veg time completely from seed, straight to flower. Best investment ever.

I will say the tent doesn't come with a controller, fan, nothing. Mine is using a 4" clouding fan on a AC Infinity AI Controlller, CO2 monitor and light meter, ducted to the main tent to share CO2 from mushrooms or whatnot. It really is a game changer especially for gardening. I will have everything started in record time for veg to flower when spring hits.

The energy savings alone from my main tent due to using 2 sets of S-16 lights vs that big Ionframe light is noticeable in both heat generation and temperature regulation.

In my tent before I had 2 sets of S16 AC Infinity lights for dual level control lighting. I left that but added the UVA boards in as well. Im trying out a Viperspectra XS1500 Pro in it to see what I could do for energy efficiency. Looks to be a good choice. I've hung at 8", letting AI control brightness to 4 (fixture goes all to 0 no without a outlet timer plug like in some review videos) is giving me 714 umol at the canopy, 680 umol in canopy, 342 umol bottom of canopy, 18/6 @ 71F/ 65-70% Humidty for a VPD of 0.79 for veg. In 1 week I'm slamming them to max and amend the soil for veg because my main tent is going kinda long.

I did the calculations to convert umol to PPFD to get a correct DLI (Daily Light Input) Im wanting to optimize plant growth, but also impending it just a bit by holding back energy. I was able to trim my load from 1.7 amps to .75 amps. I have no dark spots and will add my DLI umol and distance tomorrow.

Here is the video I found. Pretty fascinating on how to calculate it. I've never had to do this for outdoor gardening lol, this is making it more fun.

Gonna run a Ozone machine in main tent for a hour, air out and then start these girls in the main tent. Been cleaning , sterilized everything, all walls and environment cleaned also in lung room. All equipment scrubbed and cleaned, fixing gravity watering from AC and then pics. So excited!

Transplanted into 5 Gallon containers, soil blend , watered with Stash Blend. Will feed once a week with stash, gravity watering rest of time.

Loving doing this grow in my super soil mix, auto watering from AC Infinity has been a game changer for plant growth. I used approx 4 gallon of water the last week or so. Starting in Propogation tent shaved lits of time off, but my poor planning on first grow set them back. Im glad they've recovered.

I added a small Vevor dehumidifier and that got humidity issues under control . Also added better water O2 supplementation with better pumps and connections.

Wow! Doing these girls in dirt. Fed only water in soil mix, top dressed with topsoil mix and perlite, water barrel at 6.1ph, gravity fed to bases. Amazing!
