I planted the seed last Sunday, the old soak, poke and pray germination method. This is day 4 and so far so good. I have had a real problem with pro-mix bx so I am adding about a third by volume of some black gold potting soil with 2/3 cup lime and about a cup of perlite to a 3 gallon airpot. The pro-mix keeps reverting back to a 5.5 ph within four weeks of planting even after adding lime a few weeks before planting (over a cup in 5 gallons of medium). I will use Fox Farm nutes and advanced sensi cal/mag and superthrive. Light schedule is 20/4 in a 3X3X6 Mars tent. A 6in duct booster fan (240 cfm) for extraction with a 6 in carbon filter and one 6in clip-on fan for circulation. The room temps are up so I will not be using the T5's in the corners for heat, just the reflector 96 with both switched on at about 24 inches throughout growth. Sometime this year I hope to get the right size light in this tent, Mars II 900 maybe. I expect a mid size plant, 24-30 inches, with 60-70 gram yield in about nine weeks.
