Hello again,
After the good results I had in my last small test in coco, I want to do it again. I had some beans of Swazi Rooibaard that are getting old so I wanted to make more of them too, and also have some more of the swazi bud to enjoy, so that is what we are growing this time, and we'll have some kind of more or less controlled pollination happening as well.
Pots are 20 liter size mars hydro felt type growbags.
Light will be a Mars Hydro FC-E6500, 730W model it says on the box, but given summer is coming we will use it for efficiency and most probably won't reach full power during this round. I am trying to grow as efficiently as possible so using airconditioning to cool plants doesn't fit my style, and is not sustenable in todays energy crysis. The light will be dimmed to allow my DIY VPD controller to mantain a proper environment for best use of that light. I may even DIY an integrated auto dimming feature to do that on auto till the end of this grow, but I ain't promising anything.
Tent will be a Mars Hydro - 150x150x200 cm.
For now they are in my old tent (100x100) and under a Mars Hydro FC3000 (300w) dimmed down to 10-20% kept at less than 15 cm away.
Some pics during the transplant to the big pots:
(keep in mind they been fed shitty nutes (basil plant food mix) and kept under a 10W led floodlight with my hydro basil till yesterday. they will look better soon!)
P1 = heathy roots:
P2 = just potted up:
P3= chillin':
P4 = still chillin', waiting to get watered some proper nutes:
P5 = lots of culling happened before now, even now at transplant stage:
P6 = now hopeful for better times, after receiving first proper feed, PH6 and EC1.2:
Take a seat and join me on this adventure!

they don't seem to have liked the basil food too much 
. They look like they're bouncing back though
