Blueberry has cracked it shell in under 24 hours and showing a tail!

  • unfortunately I can’t get it in the soil until lunchtime tomorrow. Another 16 hours…

Is this okay to leave it in Wet paper towel until I get it in the soil ?

Yes it will be fine if you keep it warm and moist.

I just shake the whole thing daily, nothing crazy just a few bumps, then go in and spread the buds back out.

Calixs two tent knockout room!

Ready to rock this time!!
Any suggestions on which lights I should run?

I have a pretty sweet pan light from Maxxisun not sure.if I want to run it in veg tent .or the two blurples… … heat is a main issue so that’s why two lights.
I plan on running 24-0 in veg tent

Stil have to get fans in there - just lazy

Also my wifi timer - it wants a start and end time. How do.i get it to run full time? Lol I guess I could.just take the timer off ahhahah
But really it wants - ON 12:00 OFF 11:59.
SO that seems like my only option as it will kick off and on for one minute then back on.

Im also considering a 20-4 … Temps.would be pretty cold… … I may be able to exhaust the flower tent heat into the veg tent ? That could work…( And then exhaust the veg tent into a filter lol… Going to lose alot of pull power but I may be on to something…I could actually even do vice versa. Get rid of my heater in flower tent and pull the warm air from veg tent into flower tent during lights off and then exhaust the flower into a filter ) option b sounds good



Wish me luck

I cut the second pallet to size. Actually works perfect. Cut off any over hang. Cut it down to 2*4 .fits great.

Anyone know what would happen if I put my veg tent on staggered 24-0 cycle. Eg every other day let give the plants 4 hours dark??? Lol

I would ask only one question…… Why?

But I have never tried it so have no answer for you. I would advise against it only because it is not a natural occurrence in nature. To be honest I doubt it would hurt anything but I also think it wouldn’t help anything. If anything I would choose either 24-0 or 20-4 but not stagger between the two.
I have slowly lowered the amount of light hours until I got to 12 hours but saw no benefit in the plants by doing so.

I have always been of the belief that the plant will stop photosynthesis, or rest, regardless of the light cycle. I wouldn’t worry too much about lights off temps getting cold. If you have your flower lights on while the veg tent light is off, it should keep the room plenty warm for both tents.

Lol
Thanks
Where some people believe some dark time is good that maybe a little bit of dark time would help here and there LOL

Okay thank you
I will probably run a test with thermometer in the room to see what it gets to with lights off

I think with only 4 hours of dark there might be some retention of heat and if not like you said the heat exhausting from the flour tent I can have that overlap

For now it’ll be 24 and 0 I guess until we get sprout maybe that’ll give me some more time to consider my choice and run some tests

And some people believe they have been abducted by aliens. I may have been abducted by Alien OG but I eventually came back to earth………. J/K

What have I begun
Edit - delete post
Hahahaha
Well - lights are back on now in flower tent so time for me to go tinker around lol
It would.be super simple to just run 24-0 and not worry about a heated air loop system LOL yeehaw

I just made a little chart to help my brain

Alright

I got some mad Calix stuff going on here.
Digi timers. Wifi timers.
Closed hot air loop system
LOL

from 6 AM TO 6PM. I am pulling exhaust from veg tent to the flower tent.

Exhausting flower tent 24/7

Lights in veg 24/0 for now

Making this way more tech that it needs to be.
If I can’t keep a constant temp I. Flower tent during lights off I will put the heater back in on a 5 min on cycle 25 min off.

Let’s see what temps I can maintain from pulling veg exhaust

Well then
That work s much better than anticipated and makes a whole lot of sense

Dumping the exhaust from the veg tentn into the flower tent during lights out gave me 20 Celsius. consistent with the temperature in the veg tent LOL not too suprised.

Its just a matter of finding 4 hours of light on my flower schedule to accommodate 4 hours of dark in veg tent… But t I would have to pull filterd air from in the flower tent (filter in tent) then dump.into veg tent… and all I would. Have to do is pop the duct in and out at that time.

On another note.
Nothing has sprouted and it’s 48hours!.. Shouldn’t take this long ???

Hopefully you didn’t plant them to deep. If not they could take a few days more yet. Give it time and let them do their thing………
