Updates from the Meph lab:
The strawberry nuggets are chugging along; Iāll probably start giving them supplemental light today; I had been letting them sit in the shade to get filtered sun.
I have a tent and lighting, but itās in an outdoor greenhouse, so I donāt exactly have climate control.
Until the plants are larger, Iām going to hand water and rotate them between the tent during the night and partial shade during the day.
Here is the setup; I donāt foresee the need for more than one board for such a small scale grow, and I know my lighting isnāt godās gift to SMD lights, but it wasnāt very expensive and theoretically consists of lm301b whites with Osram and LG IRs and UVs. The pots will sit in a line along the length of the board and I can adjust it up and down with the pulley. The light is dimmed to minimum power on the dimmer in the picture.

What light schedule are you using?

Itās probably going to end up being something along the lines of 22 light - 2 dark until I feel theyāre established enough to hang in the tent all day and the weather cools off so they donāt stress due to heat in there. Iāll take them out when I get up in the morning about 2 hours before sunrise and put them in before sunset. Right now itās probably closer to 22.5 -1.5 but daylight is decreasing and the sun is rising slightly later so itāll gravitate toward 2 before they get established.

18-6 minimum for autos IMO.
Get them under full strength light asap.

If it were an indoor grow Iād love to, but with temps in the high 80s, occasional 90s, and higher in the tent even with the greenhouse shaded Iām concerned about just frying the seedlings before they get a chance. Theyāll end up under the board on full intensity over the course of the next week or so probably.
Oh, and the 5x double grape arrived, with 2x (3BOG x Mango) F1s as the freebie. Iām debating whether to run double grape for pollen as well or whether to just run it with the āmothersā as a pollen receptor. Sorry for the chain of posts, Iād edit if the chat thread allowed it.
It might be cool to figure out which F1s are most distantly related and cross them to produce a heavily heterozygous polyhybrid cross. Unfortunately 3BOG and Skywalker share Triangle F3 as a parent, so I might have to table that project until I have some F1s of my own creation. The first thing that came to mind is (Skywalker x Mango Smile) x (Strawberry Nuggets x Double Grape), which is effectively:
((Skywalker Kush x Triangle F3) x (Mango Haze x Toof Decay F5)) x ((Sour Strawberry Kush (Bog Seeds) x 24 Carat F3) x (Sour Stomper x Grape Crinkle))
Thereās some overlap there, but I think you have to go back a decent amount to get there (Sour stomper has 24 carat as a grandparent). Sorry to spam the thread, if the mods like Iāll make a separate thread and they can throw all the offending posts in the pokey.
