Thank you, @CannaPot, for sponsoring this grow with seeds.
Bushmans is a landrace Sativa from South Africa. It is supposed to flower in 45 - 48 days which is extremely quick for a Sativa. I'm very curious about this one.
The seeds are regular, and I decided to germinate 4 seeds for 1 keeper. The tent I'm in the process of setting up is 60 x 120 cm (2' x 4'), and I only want 2 flowering plants in there. The tent sister is a Red Mandarine F1 from Sweet Seeds. She's got a flower period of 7-8 weeks, so they should be okay together. I'm only germinating 1 Red Mandarine F1, so I will keep 5 plants in the tent for a few weeks until the Bushmans plants have been sexed.
I'll grow these girls in 11 liter fabric pots with coco. For lighting I'm using a Perfect Sun COB led that pulls 675 W on full power. It's a mix of COBs and blurple LEDs, and it is quite powerful. I'm going to use 33% of that for the seedlings and early veg, and I don't think I'll use more than 66% for late veg and flower. Unless my grow room gets very cold this winter that is, but I doubt it...
I started the germination of the seeds yesterday. My tent is not ready yet, so that gives me a bit of a push to finish setting the tent up. The seeds should be ready to be planted later today or tomorrow, and by then I am supposed to have the tent going. I'm germinating the seeds at 26 degrees C.
The plants will be manifolded. I'll try a more compact manifold than I've done previously.
