LiGHTING: In a 24 x 24 x 60 Grow Tent used for Seedling and Vegetative purposes
What you give to your plants from the heart and your hands matters most but I'd be a clown not to tell you that the lighting you choose makes a HUGE impact on the quality and quantity of both your buds and overall grow!
The HB 1500 by @ParfactWorks

It has no fans and produces no noise.

Weight: 3.74 #
Power draw: 150V
Beam angle: 120 degrees
LED chipset includes:
148 pc 5000K
148 pc 3000K
10 pc 660nm
2 pc 740nm

RECCOMENDATIONS:
36-40 inches for germ
24-36 inches for seedling
18-24 inches for veg
6-18 inches for bloom
NOTEABLES:
*High efficient horticultural LM301H light
*Red, IR, and UV LED spectrums

*Perfect for 4 x 4 vegetative coverage at 18"
and 3 X 3 coverage at 6-12"
*Light adopts a mean well driver to ensure from seedling to harvest, plants have all stage lighting necessary to achieve over 70k hours longer lifespan
RAVING REVIEWS
"BEST results! Get your plant established in veg-this light will make them preach"
"GREAT PRODUCT, GREAT PRICE"
"Excellent"
"Excellent purchase, even bought a second"
This light has already provided so much for my existing girls.
Light notes this grow:
I will probably be moving in a 100W LED from the flower tent to put behind the HB as opposed to having my 6-60W fixture there. I am still debating this and will have a final decision once both tents are up and running and I can better see what I am looking at.
Here's some more shots of the HB1500 in action and a couple spec photos.
Did I mention it came with some pretty rad alien farmer stickers?

What a Huge difference it's going to make! Wait until you taste all the deep flavor the plant can reach being fed from a light like that!

Yes! I have already seen such a difference, mid grow, adding on this light. I sure am stoked to see what it will do being on them from the very beginning!

And now it's time for a breakdown....never gonna get never gonna get it never gonna get it never gonna get it never gonna get it never gonna get it never gonna get it never gonna get it .. never gonna get. Never get it... (En Vogue? My Lovin', 1992?)
....just kidding here you go!
SIZE DOESN'T MATTER...Well yea it does, a little.....
Veg tent dimensions 24 x 24 X 60 with a 4-inline, carbon filter, and duct
Flower tent dimensions 48 x 48 x 80 with a 6-in inline, carbon filter, and duct
Pest Prevention-God let it rain ladybugs
I have recently started implementing Mosquito Dunks into my feeds, use the good ol ugly yellow sticky hanging fly traps and insecticidal soap. If the Good Lord would just give me a ladybug colony in my attic I would be forever indebted more than I already am.
Temperature and Humidity:
Seedlings and very early veg start off at about 70% RH working their way down through the vegetative process to around 65-60 then in flower to around 50-60.
Seedlings start at no less than 80 degrees no more than 85
Veggies hold between 78 and 82
Flower 78-84 during the day, 70-76 at night
*Note*
Some strains prefer more heat and humidity in Mediterranean like conditions while some flourish in less humid, cooler temperatures
SEEDLING HABITATION:
I do not dome my seedlings. They are not started in solo cups or a seedling starter kit, rather in 4in plastic pots with 8 drain holes underneath. As aforementioned, my medium for them is a mix of coconut coir, peat moss and vermiculite. After about 2 weeks they are ready to be re-homed.
Seedling feed:
@Prescription Blend provides a feeding schedule of 1-2ml p/gl both CORE A and CORE B during this developmental stage
Up-potting: With FFOF
The autos in this grow will move from initial 4 in pots to 3 gl self feeds. That is all they need and it gives me the exact size that I want from my auto girls..
The photos will follow suit but after the 3gl, they will then be moved to a 5 gl self feed and finally to an 8gl.
5gl transfer occurs before the start of 12/12.
Then before flowering commences, a move to the 8gl is made.
Methadology and Training:
No, I don't use the canna-bonsai method but it's a pretty radical idea...
I will be using the following methods in my growing madness for the photoperiods:
HST bend and snap
End of Flower Droughting
End of Flower increase in dark time
I do not LST my photos and do not begin HST until around week 6/7 of veg. I like to gold my girls to veg between 7 and 9 weeks.
I do not use LST on my autos other than some gentle bending of the branches every week or so. Pruning is big for me with my autos, allowing them to bulk up first and then let enough light in after pruning to get those buds the light they need to develop. I know it seems silly of me not to tie them down, but this is my method and it works...for me at least
Next to come as you are all waiting for, is the detailed strain descriptions for this amazing assortment courtesy of one of our most wonderful sponsors, @Weed Seeds Express !!!
Can NOT WAIT to get this grow started because when my plants are happy, I am happy and I can do a better job of trying to make others happy! And just remember...

So I'm going to do a comparative grow and throw in an extra auto on this grow. I will be attempting to lollipop one. So the question is, 2 X Gelato or 2 x Big Jack Widow?
