Tent is assembled. Light and plants are in the tent. Waiting on some silicone that is sealing up my exhaust vent going outside to cure. Then I will put the exhaust fan in(on a rheostat). It is a 4” fan.
Box setup:
New tent:
Plants in their new home:
G&M on the left. CDSRxND on right. 4 bulb 4 ft HO T5 fixture with 10000k bulbs.

It is the first time I have tried Vevor. It is made sturdier than my previous tents(one from HTG and the other I don’t recall the brand). I chose the Vevor based on how inexpensive it was(also the size of 2x4x6 fit where I want it). $70 I think. The zippers feel sturdy. I don’t see any light leaks. Working on hooking up my exhaust fan. Need to get some rubber to isolate the fan from the beam I am going to hook it up to. The exhaust isn’t a priority yet. The tent is about 80 deg(with the flap open at the top) which the seedlings don’t seem to mind. Also need some circulation fans that don’t suck. Mine usually last about 6 months. Damn cheap Chinese crap…

Looking at the G&M seedlings, they are quite a bit larger than the CDSR cross seeds. Received a new AC Infinity fan for inside the tent today. Not an oscillating fan. Everywhere I looked for them, those were ‘sold out’.
Gave the plants a dilute feeding of Jacks(about a quarter the recommended dose) the other day with a bit of silica. Never tried silica before but have heard good things about building stronger plants and pest resistance.

everyone of the G&M plants were robust and showed vigor , nine different strandivars..
fat stems when they were in beer cups…big around as a No 9 lead pencil!…
I did not have to stake them up as they grew into adult plants…
good luck with the silica , I quit using it after a couple cycles , I never noticed any visible difference…
in my modified Hempy buckets with 100% Perlite , all I used was GH Micro and Bloom……
and some cal mag…

Up-potted this morning. Good roots but a poor job putting the peat cups in the solo cups in my first up-potting. No real harm that I can see.
I need to clean up the lower leaves. I will wait a couple of days to minimize shock. Planning on trying to quadline these just because I want to try quadlining.

Thanks. I’ve been thinking about abandoning the silica. Flower on another site said he had pH issues when using it. It is a base and I don’t think I want to change more variables than I already have. And like cowbells, more cal-mag…everyone of the G&M plants were robust and showed vigor , nine different strandivars..

Mixed up a bag of perlite with a bag and a half of Maines Coast potting soil and spiked the mix with worm castings and mychorihhizae.Up-potted this morning. Good roots but a poor job putting the peat cups in the solo cups in my first up-potting. No real harm that I can see.

4 weeks:
The CDSR x ND is going to be taller than the Heri x BB. Following a quadlining thread, I have removed the bottom 2 nodes and topped a couple days later. I think that stress arrested the growth a bit but they seem to be recovering. The climate is not optimal so that could be causing slower growth too. 68-72 degrees and under 30% RH(mostly 20 or below). I am not planning on heating the basement room so I am getting what I pay for.
Edited because the pics disappeared…

I added in a 2 bulb 4 ft T5 because of plant spread and hopefully a bit more warmth(warmer air also holds more moisture so that may up my RH as well). I started training the 4 nodes of each plant a few days ago. The CDSR x ND is going to be challenging. Stretching already under 24/7 lighting. The Heri x BB is staying nice and short. I knew this would be a problem but hoped it would be more of a flowering time thing…

I will say they have a pretty strong cat piss smell at this point. I haven’t put my filter on yet and the grow room stinks. Not a complaint. Just an observation.
The extra light has boosted the temp to 72-73 deg.
