crazaer’s tiny tents
Special shout out to Mr.Sparkle because I would have never started looking at microgrows without inspiration from his early posts. Now I’m limited by space and energy, so I can’t custom build, but I am thankful still. There are too many others for me to thank, and my memory is dim, but you all know who you are.
Diaries of any format are strange to me, let alone those with pictures, and my TBI may slow down my responses if there are any questions on the way. Please bear with me as I go along.
When I say tiny tents, it’s partially in jest. One is 2x2 and the other is 2x3 and both are under 5 feet. They are not those cute miniature display tents at REI. I desperately want one of those.

8/9/19
Roughly 7PM. Seeds in freezer for an hour.
Used 150ml RO water, boiled, dumped half, added tap water back, H2O2 1ml, drop of fulvic (see small spoon-set) for first seed soak.
5x CBD Chem + 1x random pip. Placed in dark over kitchen cabinet.
Here’s the little RO filter. Reasonably priced!

All 5x CBD Chem sunk. Pip still floats. 8 PM 1x CBD Chem has broken shell, tap root visible. Transplanted into coco watered with fulvic mix above.
25 minutes = 2 gallons RO. Max fill trash can to 8 gallons, room for more.
8/11/19
Noon. Remaining seeds moved to damp paper towel for further germination. Pip was still floating. At least 1 of the CBD Chem Dawg is almost cracked through. Planted CBD Chem looks fine in main tent @ 80F and 50% rH. I need a humidifier.
8 gallons RO mixed with 4tsp Recharge, mixing pump left on, and added small coco colony sock. 3-2-1 Jacks will be added after 24hrs @ full strength, along with a swap for 1/4 volume for tap water (salt balance for RO).
Add Sonoff to pump?
Remaining seeds cracked shell, planted in coco w/ Recharge watered in. Pip is dead and squishy.
10PM. Added 1x CBD Bubba Kush to germination water, as described above.
Bought packs of MNS NL5 x Afghan, Medicine Man, and Ortega online.
8/12/19
Noon. 1x CBD Bubba Kush sunk with a small swirl of encouragement.
Midnight. Shell cracked. Moved to damp towels with more heat.
8/13/19
6AM. Root tip barely emerged on CBD Bubba Kush, will transplant to coco shortly.
11AM. Transplanted into coco seedling bags.
Gonna take a little breather now before I put up the next batch. Thanks everyone!
