Jungle Love - Testing Durban crosses from LEDSeedz

This will be the official testing thread for the Durban crosses I finished recently. Joining me is @99PerCent @Yarddog @Eddie.saw @MadScientist @Jellypowered and @toastyjakes

The rules of the test have been laid out by PM and we are all happy to be taking a little trip over to the African side of things. Each person has been given one strain to run, and I am running all 6 strains of which two were not handed out.

I know a couple will not receive their testers until tomorrow so join in when you are ready to go.

I have use rapid rooters upside down and created my own little holes to keep them nice and cozy and these were placed under 135 watts of full spectrum LED power. I use RO water and my PPM’s are around 40 currently.

Good luck to everyone and lets go find some dank shall we.

Well these arrived today and they are set directly into a seedling mix this time. Watered them with some aloe/kelp/fulvic acid juice and they are set under the Ray22 at 18/6. Hoping they like the new lights.

Greetings everyone! I’m honored to have been selected to run another round of @Led_Seedz excellent genetics. In this first post i’ll detail way too much information and give some of my secrets away. I recently completed upgrades of my cab from using blumat drippers to a custom flood and drain setup built into the floor of the cab. Got rid of the plastidoor(™) and built double doors that I can lock. Usual nerdiness applies, everything can be controlled from my phone, and I have a static mounted camera mounted in the cab for daily shots. @Led_Seedz told me i’ve got more time in my cab than he’s got in his whole flower room… whoops lol.

Hard Data:

I was selected to run Cherry OG X Pure Durban


The following is data that is unlikely to change during the test grow, so I will only include this in the first check in.

More than you wanted to know about my setup

Growing Medium: Grow!t Coco Crutons
Growing Process: Custom Flood and Drain setup
Container: 4" square pots (Very small, I like a challenge. Hoping this will limit overall plant size for my small cab)
Lighting: 300w JellySol

Cab data

Cab Data

  • 6sqft (2x3x3)
  • 50 Watts/sqft
  • Flood and Drain built into the cab.

  • Interior air circulation 4" desk fan zip tied to top left of cab.

Reservoir size and type: 12 Gallon HDX Tough Tote. Will probably only mix 10 gallons of soup at changes.
Reservoir pump: EcoPlus 396 GPH (1500L per hour) 20w Submersible Water Pump

Seed propagation method: I will be using rapid rooter plugs this go around, in a seed starting kit.

Seeds were direct sown into rapid rooter plugs on 6/27/2018 at approx 3:45PM CST.

Current germination status: 0/9

Current age: 0 Days
Notes: Age will not start until all seeds have broke the surface.
Current Flood schedule: None at the moment.
Space Temp and RH: 72F and 42% RH

Money Shot(s):

Until I have something to report, tootles!

I have you teamed up with another one of the testers. No idea who has what except you so no idea who that is. I know you will be a bit behind but this is like your third or so grow since we got you dialed in. Pretty sure you’ll catch you partner.
:wink:

This is where we will be camping out for the grow. Pick a spot. We’ll go fishing in the morning for dinner.
