Let's get to it!
Equipment being used:
3x3x6 ft Pure-Tent
10" Carbon-Filter and 4" Vortex Fan
24" Box fan strapped right to the lighting.
Samsung LM561C 4pcs strip lighting (Max 240w at wall) DIY Construction.
PROMIX HP Mycorrhizae medium
PH test strips
TDS Meter
Digital Temp/Humidity meter
Cannabis seeds (Reg Blueberry Bag Seed)
Megacrop nutrients
DIY Container (Mayonnaise Jug+Black tape)
---- Plan Details ----
Using an Android application to get a ballpark range of lighting levels that I'm aiming for during the grow.
Vegetative 30,000 - 40,000 lux
Flowering 50,000 - 65,000 lux
Reference;
< 15,000 lux - sparse or "stretchy" growth - plant isn't getting enough light
15,000 - 50,000 lux - good amount of light for healthy vegetative growth
45,000 - 65,000 lux - optimal amount of light for cannabis plants in the flowering stage
70,000 - 85,000 lux - a lot of light, some strains do okay at this light level.
Reference;
Humidity levels to aim for during the grow.
If the Environment temperature rises Above 85F or falls below 55F it slows or stops growth completely.
Seedlings:
Humidity: 60% - 80%
Temperature: 72 to 76F / 22.2 - 24.4C
Veg:
Humidity: 40% - 60%
Temperature: 72 to 76F / 22.2 - 24.4C
Flower:
Humidity: 40% - 55%
Temperature: 72 to 76F / 22.2 - 24.4C

Once the plants grow up a little, I will attempt to use GA3 in order to produce seeds for future uses. I've never used Gibberellic Acid "GA3" before, But here is some useful info on how to Get Started..
Spraying 1 cola once a day for 5 straight days in Veg, then will flip to Flower. No more spraying the cola after the flip.
Goal:
Attempting to mainline this plant into 16 colas, 1 which for GA3 use and 1 more for seed production. End result is 14 usable colas for personal use medication.
I'm not even sure if this is a "Real Mainline" because instead of cutting back the plant to only 2 main arms for a starting point, I allowed 4 arms in total to be the starting point and IMO It helps with the speed of growth and with spacing of colas In general.
You can count and see how I'm attempting to create 16 colas here in the beginning.
At this point I accidentally broke 1 arm and taped it back in place and it did recover, but the one cola did show slower growth for a while.
This is still growing along in veg 18/6 lighting schedule and I'm on day 3 of using GA3, so very soon it will be flipped to 12/12....
Stay tuned if you wanna see more!
