Yesterday I soaked 4 (mazar x Guerrero) x Columbian Red Point and 4 Unknown x Columbian Red Point regular seeds. This morning all 8 had sunk to the bottoms of their respective cups of water and I planted them.
Here is the setup:
-10.6ft² mylar tent with a 60" ceiling
-passive intake, exhaust is a 4" inline fan with carbon filter, blows out of the window.
-lights are 1x mars300 1x250watt 2100k cfl in a wing reflector and up to 184 watts of mix spectrum cfl, light schedule is 11/13 from seed.
-nutes are maxibloom only and white vinegar for pH down.
-temps are too high, humidity too low...
-medium is ¾ aquarium gravel with a coco/perl/verm cap.
-pots are 9cm nursery pots, super tiny. Placed in a small flood tray.
I will water from the top until the roots hit the bottom, then I will flood the tray as needed to a depth of 1". The aquarium gravel's weight will keep the pots in place.
-Objective is: to pick a good male pheno and pollinate the remaining females. Other males will be separated and their pollen collected/stored. In an effort to preserve these wonderful genetics in a limited space I have chosen this method. I have had great luck with small hempys using the same media, so i am hoping this little passive hydro setup will perform to suit my need for seed.
I have chosen to make this venture alongside my first auto run and a couple of other oddball seeds I am growing. Not sure which lights they will end up under, but they all seem to grow pot very well.
Took these pics yesterday, but I posted them in my original sativa thread which is winding down quickly. Here they are to document the beginning of this adventure.
Obviously this is my set up before planting. When they start poking out I will be sure to update. Maybe sneak a pic of how it fits in my tent in a little while. A vision of my mess.
Peace
