Maryland madness with humboldt seed co

Got everything ordered, some already here the rest will be within the the week.
630w de cmh
4x4 tent
6in fan/filter (the old metal fan type just a really good deal and needed something cheap to start back over, same reason for the 630cmh really, had a house fire on Xmas eve, lost everything and some friends took me in)
Clip on oscillating fan
Smart plug power strip
Apera ph/ppm/ec meter
Air conditioning filters to cover passive intake vents.

3 fem blueberry cupcakes
3 fem purple panty droppers
2 fem runtz mint(freebie/tester)

Gonna start my seeds with the soak then paper towels as per usual then into solo cups then 3 gallon grow bags filled with a buffered peat/vermiculite mix gonna throw in some biochar and worm castings too. Seedlings will start with great white then 1/4 strength maxigro once they have true leaves probably keep them in solo cups for about 2 weeks since I don’t want to start flowering till I get my veg tent/mom stable setup later next month. That’s looking like a 2x4 with a viparspectra p2000(or similar) and a 4in in-line

So my seeds are here and these sunset sherbert freebies are calling my name y’all think I could fit 10 plants in 3 gallon containers in a 4x4 or am I right in thinking that’d be pushing it

Can you fit.em? Yeah. Is it gonna get tight? Probably. Lol. I have a blueberry cupcake going. I also have 5 clones of it as well. I've got high hopes for it.

Those blumats you got watering em? How’re they working for you I’m gonna be hand watering for now but I really don’t want to be staying up all night during flower to keep ‘em watered

They are. I just got them set up the other day. So far, so good. I have no complaints yet. I am really looking forward to seeing how they do with the K.I.S.S. method with them and maxibloom.

So it’s gonna be 3 mint runtz not 2, everything that isn’t here yet will be by Friday and I’m just sitting here patiently waiting to put seeds in cups

Ok so since everything will be here tomorrow, tent, ph down, another 6 pack of grow bags so I went ahead and put my seeds in water(I know it’s not necessary but shit at over $10 a seed and only popping 3 of each I don’t like to risk failed germination.)

Really dig the ac infinity seed mat. Having a temperature dial is nice and now I don’t have to worry about cooking my seeds or it just being to cold to germ. New housemates keep the place in the 60s(f) so it’s a little nippy (another reason for the cmh light over led)

You can get a Newair 400w slim oil heater that takes up almost no room in a tent for ($60). Keep it on 200w, with an inkbird itc-308 controller ($25) & keep a tent (inside a 65f room) to a perfect 83 daytime, 77f night.. with no problem/very little cost. Might still want one for lights out

For sure, shit might get one for the bedroom anyways it’s chilly in this mf.

Tents setup, lights, fan and filter are hung just gotta snip some more of these hvac filters for the passive air intake and figure out some kind of light baffle. Coffee first though.

Side note ipower makes a really nice tent and it was less than $60 for a 4x4

Still got a few beans waiting on tails in towels. Lights set to 315 hanging at mid tent. It’s really dry up here though, I might need to invest in a humidifier.

2 seeds still waiting on tails in towels

Ftg on a runtz mint and ppd, replaced with sunset sherbets already popped tails and placed in solo cups of soil.

Had to throw in some calmag because of what seemed deficiency in both, new growth looks healthy, topped everything last night (except for the two slow seedlings 1 sunset sherb, and 1 more runtz mint

Plucked the funky leaves and some of the lower fans that were kinda at dirt level. Thinking I’ll veg another 2 maybe 3 weeks

First night of 12/12, taking some clones to put in the 2x2 too
