Sweet!!! Is this your first mostly Sativa strain?

Yes!
Timhomegrow said:
May I suggest using the Geoflora Advanced feed chart, found on their website. I tried doing one of each strain with just GF and one of each strain with the Advanced (terpinator and Massive). At first there was not much difference, but the ones with straight GF had leaves yellowing before they should have. I corrected it by adding Terp/Mass like the other two and ruined the experiment ha.

Honestly, no difference in yield, density, tricomes, in the end....but never kept one on straight GF the whole grow. I think on the next run I'll use the advanced feed chart the whole time.

FYI, these doses are per week, not per feeding. I split it up based on the nimber of watering per week

Thanks Tim, this will help. I had already planned on supplementing with Terpinator/Purpinator. I'll find something else to replace Massive too.

The Heavyweight Fruit Punch Auto was a favorite strain around here for a while. Only had one bean of it that came as a freebie. I've got some different breeder Fruit Punch lineage to try next grow.

AI grown? I'll admit the VIVOSUN Smart Grow System has a lot of automation, but that's just the environment. You still need to grow the plant ;)

About @DYNOMYCO

DYNOMYCO’S PREMIUM MYCORRHIZAL INOCULANTS is the fastest-growing mycorrhizae brand in the market. Composed of 900 propagules per gram formula, DYNOMYCO has been amazing for growers all around. 100% organic, OMRI listed and created SOLELY for Cannabis cultivation.

DYNOMYCO™ is a cannabis-specific mycorrhizal inoculant. It was formulated specifically for cannabis cultivation, through years of bio-assays combining numerous mycorrhizal strains and cannabis varieties. It contains two species of endomycorrhizal fungi, Glomus intraradices and Glomus mosseae, at a concentration of 900 propagules per gram.

DYNOMYCO™ is suitable for peat, coco and rockwool cubes and certain hydroponic growing methods.

- DYNOMYCO is 3x more concentrated than Mykos. They have a higher concentration of propagules per plant, at a lower application rate and at a lower price per plant!
- Our main fungi was isolated in the dead sea region in Israel, the salties place in the world, and so it is tolerant of salinity, heat and drought.
- It's a pure mycorrhizal inoculant. No other active ingredients in the product. What does all the work is the fungus!
- It's based on over 33 years of R&D.
- Compared to Great white, DYNOMYCO doesn't contain ANY ectomycorrhizal fungi, which don't associate with cannabis, and all other herbs, veggies, leafy greens. DYNOMYCO was developed for cannabis!

The most important application is done at the start of each growing cycle from clone or seed. Additional applications are done upon each transplantation. There is no need to apply it every feeding or many times since it needs to make direct contact with the roots. You should not apply it around or on the crop, nor should you brew it in your compost tea. You need to have direct contact with the roots! The two application methods that work best are:
1. Mixing in the soil media
2. Mixing in the planting hole.
 
:ciao: Be cool to see how that kit performs. We already know you can grow. Thanks for the tag. :yummy:

Vivosun App

This system brings together the light, circulation fan, and the exhaust into one system. The system can be controlled by the control pad, easily mounted on any tent. Even better, the wi-fi controller can be controlled from the Vivosun App. Basically, @VIVOSUN now allows you to control your whole indoor environment from one app.

The Vivosun app adds a whole new level of functionality. You can set a schedule for any of the components. You can change the spectrum (seedling/veg/flower) and intensity of the light, and even simulate sunrise/sunsets. The app also adds the 'recipe' function, a way to lay out the settings for each stage of the grow.

It came in one box with two smaller boxes inside, one for the Aerozesh and one for the AeroLight/Growhub. I unboxed it and set it up in my office to play around for a while and make sure I know how everything worked.

Testing the Vivosun Smart Grow System in my office


Then I set it up in the Playpen, my 32x32x60 tent. My old exhaust in the tent was 4" and this is a 6", so that was changed out completely. Pretty easy with the way I have it installed, attached to a board on top of the tent.

The light hung from the top of the tent with two ropes, just like the old one. I just had to remove the old timer :) The GrowHub comes with a sticky square of metal, and the GrowHub itself is magnetic. I attached the GrowHub controller to the tent and plugged everything in. The light and exhaust fan both plug into the growhub, as does the external probe. The GrowHub is powered by the light/exhaust so as soon as you plug anything in, it powers up.

#VIVOSUN #LoveWhatYouGrow
 
Date: 9/4/22 - Seed started @ 4:20pm
Strain - Herbies Seeds - Fruit Punch Auto Fem (Heavyweight Seeds)
Grow space - The 'Playpen' - a 32x32x60 tent outfitted with the VIVOSUN Smart Grow System
- AeroLight - The world’s first 100W LED grow light with an integrated circulatory fan
- AeroZesh - 6" Ultra powerful automated exhaust fully programmable through the GrowHub
- Growhub - Controls all tent equipment simultaneously
All controlled through the VIVOSUN[Love What You Grow | VIVOSUN] App
Nutrients - None yet
Medium - EZ-Gro plugs
Water - Carbon-filtered well water (100ppm)

I set up the Playpen yesterday so I figured it's time to get this grow started! My seed germination process is really simple. I don't pre-soak or otherwise prepare the seed. My secret is I always try to place the seed at 4:20, right after lighting up!

I use EZ-Gro plugs (like rapid rooters but not pre-moistened). I soak the plug for about an hour in a mild CloneX solution pH'ed to around 6. Then I stick the seed about 1/2-3/4 inch into the plug, pointy end up. I've found that the combination of putting the seed a little further down and pointy end up gives me the best chance of getting the seed to pop without a helmet. Pointy end up because I want the root to come out of the top, then turn down. I want it to be far enough down so that the seed head is scraped off as it comes up.

Then I tear off a small piece of the plug and use it to cover the hole. I put the plug in a humidity dome with a little bit of water in the bottom of the tray, but not enough so that the plug is sitting in water. If the plug sits in water it wicks moisture and gets too wet.

I put another plug in the dome, but this is used for the temperature probe for the heat mat. I want to control the temperature inside the plug, if possible. I re-use the 'temperature probe plug'. I also have a dome with a notch I use for the probe cord.
20220904_163054.jpg

20220904_163054.jpg

Notch in dome for probe cord

I set the dome on my Vivosun heat mat with the controller set to 75f. With the dome on and vents closed, the heat mat warms the little bit of water in the bottom of the tray and creates lots of humidity under the dome, usually above 98%. Almost as good as sitting in a glass of water, but the seed can still breathe.

20220904_163208.jpg

Heat mat set to 75f

I'll keep the lights off for the first 48 hours, then I'll set the lights to a 20/4 schedule. I usually get a seedling on the third or fourth day. On the first day the seedling emerges, I'll open the vents on the dome to lower the humidity to the 80s. On the second day, I'll remove the dome. By the third day, the tap root is coming out of the bottom of the plug and it'll be time to put her in a 4" pot.

So far, I haven't had a seed fail to germinate with this method within 5 days (knock wood). I even went 4-for-4 with tomato seeds recently ;) We'll see how this girl does in a couple of days. Now to keep playing around with the @VIVOSUN GrowHub Recipe.

Heat mat set to 75f

I'll keep the lights off for the first 48 hours, then I'll set the lights to a 20/4 schedule. I usually get a seedling on the third or fourth day. On the first day the seedling emerges, I'll open the vents on the dome to lower the humidity to the 80s. On the second day, I'll remove the dome. By the third day, the tap root is coming out of the bottom of the plug and it'll be time to put her in a 4" pot.

So far, I haven't had a seed fail to germinate with this method within 5 days (knock wood). I even went 4-for-4 with tomato seeds recently ;) We'll see how this girl does in a couple of days. Now to keep playing around with the @VIVOSUN GrowHub Recipe.

Vivosun App

This system brings together the light, circulation fan, and the exhaust into one system. The system can be controlled by the control pad, easily mounted on any tent. Even better, the wi-fi controller can be controlled from the Vivosun App. Basically, @VIVOSUN now allows you to control your whole indoor environment from one app.

The Vivosun app adds a whole new level of functionality. You can set a schedule for any of the components. You can change the spectrum (seedling/veg/flower) and intensity of the light, and even simulate sunrise/sunsets. The app also adds the 'recipe' function, a way to lay out the settings for each stage of the grow.

It came in one box with two smaller boxes inside, one for the Aerozesh and one for the AeroLight/Growhub. I unboxed it and set it up in my office to play around for a while and make sure I know how everything worked.

Testing the Vivosun Smart Grow System in my office


Then I set it up in the Playpen, my 32x32x60 tent. My old exhaust in the tent was 4" and this is a 6", so that was changed out completely. Pretty easy with the way I have it installed, attached to a board on top of the tent.

The light hung from the top of the tent with two ropes, just like the old one. I just had to remove the old timer :) The GrowHub comes with a sticky square of metal, and the GrowHub itself is magnetic. I attached the GrowHub controller to the tent and plugged everything in. The light and exhaust fan both plug into the growhub, as does the external probe. The GrowHub is powered by the light/exhaust so as soon as you plug anything in, it powers up.

Hey budman good morning....saweeeeeeet grow equipment my friend looks super techie..all clean and new and stuff 😁..so may I ask about that light with the fan in the middle please?! So I understand the reasoning for the circulated ventilation through the light, but does the fan being in the middle cut down the coverage area of the light? Usually light maps show the best/most concentrated light reading at the center with lower less powerful light readings on the outside......so in my head it's telling me that itz gonna be lower edge numbers across the whole top🤔 maybe it has more consistent readings across the entire top this way? Sorry again just curious.

Thanks HH and that's a great question. I can't find a par map for this light, maybe @VIVOSUN can help with that? I would think that it would make more consistent light readings across the top, without the peak in the middle. I'll take some readings and see what I can find out.
