I popped a pack, had 12 seedlings. I tried something new and did a DNA plants sexing kit to send in samples to https://www.farmerfreeman.com/. Looks like I have 7 ladies......hopefully the results are right.
If you don’t mind me asking,what was the cost involved with the kit?

I got 15 on a 4/20 sale for $10us each. They mail you the kits and you collect the sample and mail it back. Xpress post cost me $28 I think. So it’s not cheep, but still worth it considering the 6-7 weeks it normally takes. I knew there sex before they where 6” tall.
 
This garbage grow is almost over thankfully, 2 of the auto gsc's are going red and purple and from the trichs look like they have about a week, maybe 2 left. The 710 diesel auto still has some time though, one gsc (back right corner of tent) is a pile of shit and has been trying to die since day 1 and I should have culled it. I have not enjoyed anything about this grow and completely half assed it. Trying something new next grow to spice things up and bring some fun back to growing as I am sick of cookies and want to attempt some new grow methods.
I am at day 70 today from seed, growing in coco with gaia green amendments, switched my light from 630W CMH to a Kingbrite HLG knockoff panel a few weeks ago.

That light looks decently bright for a knockoff. Where did ya get it?
 
I have three vents going into the room,it sits in the low 80s on the hottest days,in the winter I have a hard time getting it above 75.. there is less than 3000w total,and the room is 25 x 12..

I see...I just returned the POS portable AC I had going in the container. Hopefully the new one will work better.

Kingbrite on Alibaba, surprisingly only took 7-8 days to reach my door and was only $600 with taxes, shipping and duties (they hit me with $25 in duties once it hit Canada). It apparently is using the LM301H diodes as well although I have no way to actually verify that.

It is bright though, I actually have to wear my glasses with it to protect my eyes, I never felt that need with the CMH (although it is always best practice).
 
A portable air conditioner won't cut it in a shipping container based on how they work. Get yourself a mini split or air chiller.
It actually was malfunctioning, the dehu function didn't work.. The unit would bring the temp down to 83 degrees with the lights (1460W QB) on...or 60 with them off. I have air intake through a hepa filter on the container, so that's probably why it works, because there is no vacuum I guess. However mini-split is the way to go long term.....just gotta spend the bucks..
 
The plant in front stayed around 18 inches.. Timewarp x C99. Lots of branches..finished with 12 colas around 5 inch each..might be 2.5 dryed.. 8 week flower..just chopped..

Next to harvest..swazi gold sativa..in background..
