I love growing and playing with my plants! I basically play with them using the information I absorb here on the forum. My grows have gotten better since I found this forum and all the helpful advice. Basically I dropped the bucket about 4 inches when it slipped going into the water tray when I put it in the tent. Live and learn. I just picked up a new 2x2x6 AC Infinity tent to replace my 32"x32"x63" tent. I have the new Iongrid T-22 light to put in it and plan on putting a Chocolope in it. I was talking to my daughter earlier that if I liked that tent I plan on downsizing my 4x4x6.6 tents to 3x3x6.6 AC Infinity tents to give me more work space. If I do that it will give me an extra 16 square feet to work with. Here is a picture of my new tent after I set it up and put it in my grow room. It is smaller, but taller, I needed a taller small tent for the new light to grow a complete seed to harvest plant. The shorter tent was okay but I only used it for Vegging. With the taller tent should be able to go all the way to harvest in it. I’m pretty sure I can get the same results with the 3x3x6.6 tents as I did in my last grow in the 4x4x6.6 tents
Man that just looks small. Only because my smallest tent is a 2’wx4’hx4’L here it is with 8x plants in it now.
I use a pretty low cost led at this stage of growth.
I gotta say this light is rediculous but it grows awesome and cheap! Its a low cost beg light.
My new one is small, but a 3x3 wouldn’t fit into the space where the old tent sits. I cut back to one plant per tent after using Dakine 420 nutrients. I really try and stay within the rules of my dry flower amount for my grow permit. I just like having more than one strain of flower on hand Dakine had me exceeding it! Lol! Plus I was wanting to try out that new light! I’m thinking if I go to 3x3x6.6 tents I can upgrade the 2x2 tent up to a 3x3x6.6 tent. My son in laws brother is moving out here where I’m located and said he would take all my old unused equipment off my hands for a reasonable price so I should be able to swap out my equipment pretty cheap.
Well good on ya man. Im 100% illegal and fubar if i go down. Oh well its kinda my thing…got to make my medicine and i aint paying for it. Been at it since 1997. And a longtime member of “Ill do it myself” club. Damned if i do and damned if i dont really. Its better to be an opiod addict here in this assbackwards state than a guy keeping to himself growing a plant peacefully for mental health and pain control hmm i say come try and take my medicine it wont end well for anyone.
Holy crap! I think this is what happened to my Monkey Cake seeds back in Nov/Dec. Seeds germed great and had nice looking tails. I stuck them in Sohum (fluffier than what I’m used to growing in) and a day later they were right on the surface and stayed there. I wanted to mess with them so badly, but I didn’t. Fast forward an entire week… and there was freaking NOTHING in either cup. Like they just disappeared. i’m packing it down and keeping it wetter now and the next seeds didn’t walk off. ha haha!
@LasVegas7 Check out Prey’s response above.
Yeah man ive seen em climb out of cubes. I cut the cube open like a hotdog bun. Then closed it over the root. And taped it closed and the plant immediately like 1hr it changed from withering to leaves being deployed. It was night and day.
what kind of tape? Any old tape that sticks even after it gets wet?
And in response to this i really think getting a bunch of waste seeds to play with sprouting and rooting is kinda fun. I never understood this fully. But i want to do a test now because ive left seeds for weeks in a paper towel and they got all long and tangled and didnt die. But i couldn’t tell if it was just because the seeds were more fresh or genetics or temperature or moisture or what. But sprouting them alone is interesting. But im kinda intrested in the fuzzy micro root filament looking parts of the roots when they start out then the taproot goes down because the fuzzier it is the taproot seems to be the best. So i want to time it where the root is a fuzzy ball like a q-tip and then plant it and see if it affects rooting speed. Because I just sprouted some test seeds from another grower here at GN and they had awesome vigor and now there kinda sucky and just sarting to grow slowwww. Watching em carefully and trying them under 2 different lights as a test also. Always something to try…
Um i just use reg tape but went around the whole cube. Then i had an idea and use a smaller rubber band worked better. Otherwise i pushed the cube against the side of the tray and use another cube to tuck up against the cube to push it shut.
See how much I’ve learned in an hour from you!
Lol well thats awesome! I got a new light for tomorrow’s fun setup posts. Gonna flip my other new tent!
All that being said seedlings are still pretty tough. The ethos that’s growing in my room right now two of those plants the seed pushed up out of the rock wool. I actually grabbed the route gently with a pair of hemostats all the way to the tip of the root and gently pushed it down into the Rockwool. Then I took a small piece of rock wool and shoved it in the hole in the top. Next day everybody was happy. Most of the time I just split my seeds in water and then drop them into the Rockwool cube and pull a little piece off the side and shove it. It seems to work really good for me. This time around I’m growing in Pro Mix and I just split the seeds stuck them in a quarter inch deep cover them up and I’ve had 100% success with them so far. 
Hey Hap, got any Ethos recommendations for a more sativa guy?
*Edit: or anyone else ofcourse 
Candy store is killer it’s an 80% I believe right now I have skunk hero mandarin skittles and Cherry Garcia and I have a 10th planet going but I think that plants gonna be a failure. So I won’t be able to test that one.
Go to Ethos site, they have full writeups on all their seed genes. This grow I am doing is OKC short for Orange Kush Cake, but they discontinued it. Can’t get the seeds anymore, but I think I still have 4 seeds, if I do, I am going to clone it next grow, this stuff looks like it’s going to be killer stuff. I saw Hap mention the Candy Store before gonna go check that out. Other than the two strains that didn’t sprout, I love Ethos genetics.

I’ve had a few nugs of this out of a friend’s stash. It’s really good.
Hey Hap do you have any pics of Candy Store that your grew? Thinking about picking up some of those seeds.
Marty
Hey Prey, don’t remember where I read it or even when lol…but I read that the small hair roots off the main roots are the ones that suck up all the water and nutes, and what the inoculants attach to. If I remember right it also said that they die off and new ones are grown and that the reason that you have to add inoculant on a regular basis to inocoulate the new hair roots in the pot. Have you ever read that too?
It would make sense as it is reccommended that you put in emzymes to break down all the dead roots as the grow progresses. (hair roots dying?)
