After a short break I'm just about ready to get at it again! Still buying a few last supplies at the moment but everything should be up and running within a week. Cleaned the tent today and installing a few more things tomorrow.
As the title says, I'm returning to Dark Star in order to try once again. They had so much potential the first time around it wouldn't be fair not to try again. I also have some random seeds that need to be used up, well 4 random ones and a Durban Poison seed which may or may not be dead. My goal is to use what I learned the first time around while trying some new things, like LST, more additives, new humidifier, etc. Ideally I will end up with 2 Dark Stars and 1 or 2 of the random seeds growing to harvest, the rest will just be tossed out. I'll be picking up the Dark Star clones once the seeds have a little headway. Excited to be back! Now for the specs:
Indoor grow with Promix HP + 40% perlite added (as compared to 30% last grow)
Plants start in solo cups and eventually will end up in 5 gallon containers.
1 x 600W MH (Growbright brand I think) in a simple $25 wing reflector.
New 3 gallon Honeywell humidifier to cool the room with.
Tent is 4.5'x4.5'x7' but actually a little smaller due to framework and negative pressure.
No pests other than a rare spider here or there.
Using same nutes as last time unless they expire or I run out.
For ventilation, I have a 590 CFM inline fan sucking through a carbon filter, 1 X 16" oscillating fan blowing a few inches above the canopy and 1 x 6" fan blowing from the corner towards the inline fan with the main light source being between these two.

But 3 seedlings is fine by me! I did break down and buy the Mars 700W so its time to test out a new light! Once it arrives of course hehe. We got 5-6 inches of snow last night here so temps are down a bit for now luckily
