Another day another sunrise friends. And here's to another journal. Little side project as I am re-running a Gelato auto. Anyone who remembers back in December, I had a Big Jack Widow hermie and hermie my 2 Gelatos. I saved some of their mains even seeded and the smoke was intense and so flavorful. In addition, I am running a Gelato-K photoperiod and would like to have a little something something of each going with this grow! A little sister sister from another Mister kinda thing..
Anyways let's get down to it!!

NUTRIENTS:
@Prescription Blend is a complete 6 part nutrient kit optimized in medical gardens for use with both hydroponic, coco and soil and brewed to exacting standards. It's 6 components are:
BIO-SI-Liquid innoculent with nitrogen and potassium. A broad and diverse spectrum of naturally occurring, beneficial soil derived microbes.
CORE A-Primary macro-nutrients(Phosphorus, Postassium, Sulfur, Magnesium and fully chelated micronutrients with an amino acid-complex)
CORE B-Nitrogen, Potassium, Calcium
BIG DATA (FLOWER ONLY) Changes NPK ratio
KELPFUL- Combination of several varieties from the N. Atlantic and Tasmanian Islands, loaded with organic fulvic acids
PRECURSOR 1-Metabolic Booster
Prescription Blend is the "result of understanding plant physiology and biochemistry, good old fashioned testing, and responsible gardening practices for a TRUE prescription grade harvest".
Their main mission is to "provide your garden with the highest quality nutrients in a way that preserves our planet"-they even ship in plain brown boxes to reduce footprints!
**Encourages cell division and rapid growth
**Improved nutrient uptake through chelation to organic fulvic acids
**A highly absorbable nitrogen profile that allows plants to orient to capture light as well as build plant tissues
**Their variety of components naturally supports the plants biological signaling, flower growth and development of trichomes
**Drives enzyme function to store and transport energy
**Creates building blocks for oils and terpens while promoting root growth and flower set
**Uses only "organic, non GMO plant extracts, minerals from biological sources and traditional ingredients".
FLOWER TENT AND LIGHTING:
4×4 Zazzy with 6 in @Mars Hydro temp and humidity control inline duct system. It houses a standing oscillating fan and a box fan for circulation
The Mars Hydro FC4800 features a reflective cup design that makes lighting on each bar more concentrated, increasing the opportunity for light penetration. High Times magazine had a post on January 29 2021 promoting Mars and their keen ability to deliver an LED line of products that increases harvest while decreasing costs.
The aluminum heat sink on the FC4800 creates better heat dissipation and eliminates the need for noisy cooling fans. It is easily scalable with multilight and dimmable connections to support up to 30 lights.
It utilizes Osram 660nm diodes for stunningly high output and low heat that is cost effective for the grower and the unit has an independent, detachable power supply.
Osram, if you were unaware, is known to be the pioneer of lighting technology.
The FC4800 boasts a MOSO driver-MOSO is the leading supplier of LED in the world. This light enhances bloom yields and crop quantities-expect up to a 50% higher yield and quantity compared to traditional burples.

Raving Review Headlines
-Well built, high quality array at an affordable cost
-Powerful high quality light
-Bright strong light
-Maxisisun delivers
-I love this light!!
-Top Quality
-Awesome
My veg tent currently has a 60W Blue Spectrum bulb specifically for seed starting in the corner of the tent where they stay until sprout
GROWING SPECS:
My grow room is an addition not attached to my central air system. It houses a standing AC unit and a standing dehumidifier outside of the tent. A LG capacity humidifier remains in the veg tent for seedling and vegetative purposes. Temps remain stable in the veg tent between 72-80 and between 72-84 in the flower tent. Humidity is kept around 65-70% for the first 2 weeks then maintenance in vegetative stage is around 50-55. Early flower, 45-50 and late flower 35-40.
SOIL ADDENDUMS:
I will be implementing organic Epsom salt foliar sprays, epsom salt and earthworm casting toppings and a soil addendum upon transplants that includes a 3:1 ratio of Epsom salt to organic cane sugar directly beneath root placement along with 2c of earthworm castings mixed directly into the soil. in addition, 1/8c of bat guano will also be added to this amendment.
My SOIL of choice is:
Fox Farm Ocean Forest
My SEEDLING GROW MEDIUM of choice is:
A Jiffy Seed Starting Mix of coconut coir, peat moss, and vermiculite and FFOF 1:3 ratio
Seedlings are soaked for 12-15 hours then paper-plated before moving into 5.5 in pots
Auto seedlings stay in their starter pots for 2 weeks before moving to their final 3 gl self feed water reserve pots. They are fed by misting only while in starter pots and then begin their Prescription Blend week 1 veg.
And so my friends, she was placed in her tiny home with a little sperm tail around 6 last night. I expect to see her come up tomorrow at some point maybe in the early morning!
Happy growing friends

where do you find the time & energy 
3 journals is good for me, 4 now but that won't be for too much longer, couple weeks I think...I just said to TK today that I need more soil, could only get 1/2 of my lupines down in the backyard today. Wanted to run 4, 1 on each end of the patio
