Good afternoon all. In this grow, I’ll be showing off some OG genetics under a Mars Hydro FC 3000 which I won in a very generous giveaway on this site by @MarsHydro. There are a few things to get in order prior to getting the grow started, so without further ado, let’s begin.
First, we will begin with the seeds. Over the past couple years, I’ve received LOTS of seeds from the very generous members here on this site. So, my plan this grow is to utilize two strains provided to me by some OG members. Which strains you may be asking? Well, since the seeds came from you all, I’ll be letting all of you decide.
Next, a quick discussion on the timeframe. Due to busy summer plans that have to deal with vacations, summer camps for the kids, and even work deadlines, I will not be popping these seeds until July 29th. I know it’s a ways out there, but I want to make sure I’m around to focus my attention on these plants. I’ve tried going on vacation during a grow before, and it did not go well. Regardless, that gives me some time to sort through the seed poll (below) as well as begin my writeup on the unboxing and hanging of the new FC 3000 light (next post).
Now for the poll. Below you will find my list of feminized, regular seeds that I have received from OG members. I’ll be growing two strains, so the top two choices from the list will be what I grow. I believe I’ve set this up correctly so everyone can choose, at most, two strains.
FYI @LedZeppelin, I updated a strain name in my poll and it looks like it erased your votes. Sorry. (there will be no more edits to the poll going forward, as I don’t want to disrupt any other results)
Also, one note on the poll: I’ll close the poll on 7/29/2023 and drop the chosen seeds in water that day.
I had incredible luck last year and won a light and picked up a sponsor for another. Congrats on your win and I’m looking forward to seeing the Mars light in action. I have both of the strains I voted for from @THCeed and in full disclosure I’m really hoping one gets picked so I can see how they grow. Enjoy that vacation, I’m the same way as far as not wanting to leave plants on vacation so I haven’t taken one in 6 years.
While the polling continues for the strain selection, let’s take a moment for a little overview of the light I’ll be using.
Generously donated by @MarsHydro via one of their amazing giveaways is the FC 3000 Smart LED.
Via the website, we have the following information:
The latest addition to the Mars Hydro grow light lineup, the smart FC 3000-EVO, is powered by highly-efficient Samsung LM301H EVO chips that boast a 3.14 μmol/j rating per diode, increasing the entire light’s PPE to an impressive 2.95 μmol/j! Also, the FC 3000-EVO features a smart system that offers various functionalities, including remote control, wireless dimming, automated programming, and growth plans to help growers improve cultivation productivity and harvest with superior crop quality.
The light was shipped in discreet packaging and was packed very safely inside. It offers the ability to have the driver either connected directly to the light via the included brackets, or with the ample lengths of cord provided, it can be hung outside of the tent if heat is an issue. For this grow, I’ll be mounting the driver to the light.
Next up, hanging it in the tent, powering it on and working with the app.
DON’T FORGET TO VOTE IN THE POLL ABOVE FOR WHAT STRAINS YOU THINK I SHOULD GROW! THE POLL WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL 7/29/2023.
Just a reminder to get your votes in for which seeds I should grow. I will be ending the poll in a little more than a week (7/29/2023) and dropping one each of the top two choices into water that Saturday evening!
Right now the leaders are Lennon/Skywalker Ghost Triangle Kush (from @THCeed) and Apple Fritter x GG4 (from @Darkride).
