New lights!! Congrats Rad!! 
Looking interesting
Mine too. I liked it because the inner box was pristine, so I kept them all in the attic with the packing as well. It came in handy.
I prefer "doodads". More whimsical and childlike.
Now I'm just jealous. No screwdriver for Tead!
Wait.... I didn't need to turn any screws.... nevermind.
Wisdom in play ehhh?
Really.. the issue is heat. Keep an eye on the numbers and you should be fine. Sunlight alone has never caused damage that I'm aware of.
I got little hanging good luck charms. They reminded me of a JuJu (sp?) bag with charms inside.
I'm certain you'll find a way.

I don’t see why not, I used to start mine under 630w. I think you’ll be fine buddy.

So the temps under the 480 watt LED were off the charts. My new 4" duct booster fan had died.
Since I was shipped a box of six, I replaced it - still climbing at 97F.
I added a second booster fan and replaced the clip on fan with a 10" fan - stable at 94F
Relocated the driver outside the tent because it felt hot. This turned out to be pointless: as soon as it was no longer resting on the heat sink bars, the temperature of the driver outside the tent was barely detectable as warm to the touch.
I turned the driver down to 50%, stable at 92F
I turned the driver up to 75%, stable at 94F
I opened the tent door, stable at 78F

Many years ago, I purchased a duct booster fan, to move air through a duct, and decided it was nearly worthless.
The last couple of days suggest that these fans are fairly useless in a tent as well.

I think I'm going to seal the light blocking window a bit better and start some seeds with the tent door open. 78F Days and 68F nights is a pretty good temperature range.
I'll think about a real fan, and maybe a small carbon filter.

Found a couple of available buildings, good sizes and locations. Finally feels like moving forward after being stalled.
Dropped some regular UltraDog seeds into water. The goal here is to clone them and sex them well away from the general population, cull the males, and grow the females into clone mothers.
Seeds going into water
The soil in pots dried out in the garage, so I'm letting some tapwater outgas Chlorine before watering the pots tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience. It's been over 5 weeks - about time I started growing a plant or two.

I’ve been finding it well entertaining mr wizard I love the details of what’s involved to set up a grow, big, middling or small

Lights on 20/4, Desk fan on 24/7, Tent Door Open, Dehumidifier just outside tent set to 65%
Daytime: 77-78F, 42-53%
Nighttime: 67-68F, 64-67%
(9) UltraDog regular seeds planted. The seeds were just beginning to split after a 20 hour soak.
My covered window with minor light leaks was covered again with a bulletin board on the inside. No more light leaks.

I am excited about the idea of training seedlings by topping and fiming again.
If I take clones young, at the 5th node, the first generation clones will have opposing leaves and be amenable to training via pruning. It would be nice if the clones could retain their opposing leaves.
I speculate by the time the 2nd or 3rd generation clones are taken, the clones will reach maturity and shift to alternating leaves no matter what I do.
Can anyone confirm or deny?

20 hrs very good cant wait to see them i have not done enough cloninig to advise you but i agree with you i wish the clones had opposing leaves to.
That has been my experience with the few strains that I have going on 3+ runs from clones.
Man, first I just want to say that it is nice to have you around again! I missed your grow. It sounds like a lot has happened since then and seems like life has moved in a new direction for you..
Now with your ACE list I have heard differing views on the Goldn Tiger but it seems to be a strain that does not do well for everyone. The Bubba Hash is something that I have wanted to grow for a while, due to everyone I have seen grown having come out amazing.
As far as ECSD strains are concerned there are a few breeders that put out crosses made with it. As Amy mentioned Sour Bubba is a good place to start. Dynasty Genetics has a few ECSD crosses with one being Starduster and the other being Huckleberry Diesel. I grew out the Huck D and it was alright. I am hoping to visit it again and find a better pheno at some point. They did an ECSD bx using a male found in the Huck D so there must be some real winners. People Under the Stairs is another breeder that puts out ECSD crosses and if you can get your hands on a pack of ECSDx4DD I would recommend doing so. The 4DD us is a cross involving Chem D and Chem 4, which when added to the ECSD should be a winner! Connoisseur Genetics has some ECSD crosses and some may even be fems. They run a lot of sales as well so if you can get in touch with the breeder you may be able to get all of your seed needs met by them.
There was a breeder using C99 in their crosses and I cannot recall who it is. There is of course Brothers Grimm who is the breeder of C99 that you can check out. I hear mixed reviews on what they have been doing as breeders since they came back on the scene, but there have been positive things said. Best of luck in your endeavor bud!
What are you hearing regarding the Golden Tiger? I have a couple going right now....just wondering.
Oh Rad I meant to mention that you should check ACE's Killer A5 out. Stank has one and all I have seen grow it enjoy it!
I have seen people say that it is a finicky one that can take forever to flower and end up being just meh. I have seen a few people mention it so it is not a one off experience. There are others though that make it sound like one of the best strains they have ever run. So what you get is a crapshoot, as with all strains really.

Yes it is....but I wonder how many actually read the breeders notes on the strains they offer. ACE tells people to run it at 11/13 to help prevent reflowering. Supposedly likes lower nitrogen levels as well. I wish I had put her in 2nd run soil honestly but I used all that on the outdoor girls.
