Ok. Feeling better. Here’s why….I successfully got with with Jon (sic) from
@Dank Seeds today. (I gotta check this handle, the company is actually spelled dank seeds, all small letters). He’s on board with us starting the dank-sponsored grow. Reason I had to get with him is, he is taking this seriously enough that he told me to get with him when I was ready and he’d send me something special for the grow. So that thing is on the way. Heh.
So there may be a few other plants in a few other locales included in this grow/journal when I get it started shortly, but the dank tent is set. I’ll be growing 2 of their signature strains, both of which are specifically the result of Jon’s extensive pheno hunting and crossing.
Jon at one time ran a 500,000 sq. ft. grow facility. He retired from that end of the business to start dank seeds and to work specifically on creating a catalog of his own work only - his masterpieces as it were. He is a pure genetics guy at heart - that apparently is where his passion lies. If you check their catalog, it is very limited. This is by design. Jon is committed to extensive refining his genetics until the final product he presents is exactly what he says it will be. Minimal phenotypic variation. Maximum everything the strain has to offer.
Jon and dank are sponsoring my 5x5 for this grow and journal, and most of the journal will focus on this tent, with one plant in the closet and one on the 2x4, don’t know what yet. The dank tent is going to feature four photos in tens. Coco synth grow by necessity, under my best light, the G8 C3. I’m going to begin all four in 2-gallon pots and uppot them to the tens.
The four plants will be (2) Cosmic Lemon Haze and (2) Sweet Tea, sponsored seeds from dank (thanks Jon!). I’m going to attempt to veg them for 60 days although in coco that’s tough.
For reference, I had already ordered the Cosmic Lemon Haze and was awaiting confirmation when I decided to reach out (unsolicited, lol) to Jon. After we talked a while we settled on this plan. The Sweet Tea was chosen by him as the best plant he had to grow side by side with the CLH. So it’s sort of a team plan, and it is very nice and very refreshing to have another sponsor who wants to be significantly involved with a sponsorship. I’m honored and very very grateful.
I should have the tent space to get started soon enough. The 5x5 gets a cleaning and the new liner put in. I have the coco, bokashi, frass, MSA, perlite #3, plenty of ph up and down, plenty of calmag, and plenty of fun additives, just need to pick a nute system.
Interestingly, I asked Jon’s suggestion on the best synthetic nutes to grow his plants with, thinking he wouldn’t have an answer, but indeed he did. A very specific one: Bio365. I’ve never heard of them but my next move is to check them out.
Anyway, that’s the sneak peek as it were. Funny how growing soothes and calms my mind. Even the planning. Lol. When I get going I’ll likely post the link in this journal. I had better success with that last time vs tagging.
