Getting this winter's run ready to go. Slackin' a lil bit this winter but only planing on one round vs two partially overlapping flowering runs last year.
I had said that I'd try to just run a single plant in this 32" sq. tent and fill it out but bearing that schedule in mind I'm gonna start three regular (unfeminized) seeds and keep whatever is female. I still have plenty kicking around from the last runs. I've got new extra long air tubing to make rotating plants easier, will be doing a more symmetrical training, and I'm gonna try switching to a one part soluble tomato fertilizer (4-18-38) + CalMag. Changes in our heating have left the basement too cold and I'd rather not heat down there just for this so the tent has moved up to a room that stays right around 66F, haven't checked tent temps with lighting yet but should be pretty near perfect.

Setup:
- (3) 3 Gal. buckets, deep water culture (I have three more buckets prepped with the notch for the air hose for simple change outs)
- 32" (80 cm) square tent
- HLG135 135W LED panel
- Water: Tap (utility), ~120ppm
- Tropicanna Cookies F2 (Oni)
- Mendo Cookies (Twenty20)
- Underdog OG x Tri-Stardawg Fusion (Seacost Stashbox)

] OG x Tri-Stardawg Fusion' did something new to me. Looks like the weight of the seed pulled it over, pulling the taproot up out of the starter. Looked pretty sad when I found it this morning. Springing into action, I picked the seed coat off carefully (looks and feels like the inner membrane is still on there but I didn't want to molest it too much yet) and poked the taproot back into the hole in the rapid rooter with a needle file. This afternoon it seems to be perking up again. I've also gone in there a couple times today and carefully dripped a single drop of water onto it to hopefully soften that up enough for it to finish opening. Don't usually worry too much about humidity for starting seeds, this may have been a situation that would have avoided.
