Impressions about plant

It took exactly a week to sprout, but here she is. BBA-0. Picked up new tent system today from the guys at Happy Hydro. Awesome guys check them out. There's the shout-out. All setup and ready to go.

She is now planted and in her final pot under an Ionboard 733 240w light. The tent is 36x36x72 AC Infinity smart system. Completely automated. I have a humidifier and I'll be adding a dehumidifier and a humidity controller for them.
I started 2 more lady's today. BBA-1 and BBA-2.
This is the beginning of my perpetual harvest. I'm going to use a 2 plant 3-4 week cycle. Totalling 6 to 8 plants in a full 3 month grow. I'll be using a clone tent to make a separate Seedling Center. This of course is all based on a 12 week grow cycle.

Both seeds sunk this morning. I'm going to keep them in there for the rest of the day and peek later tonight. I'm running 3 gallon pots with these 2. I want to see the differences between the 3 gallon and 5 gallon pots. If the yield is negligible, I'll stick with 3 gallon pots. However, eventually I will be running Hydroponics in 5 gallon bubble buckets. Most definitely going to only keep 4 plants at a time in the tent.

Changed my whole system setup. Raised the light to 30" and set it to 100% power. Humidity was getting a bit high so I lowered the humidity level. The goal was to raise the temp. It was hovering at 71°. Fixed immediately. Temp in tent is now at 76° and 54% humidity for veg stage and under the dome is 77° temp and 68% RH.
Both new seeds are in their peat pellets in darkness for another day.
I also ordered an end table with a cabinet for a temporary Seedling Center. They will be placed in there with a heat pad and a grow light. I expect to plant them in their final pots in a couple of days.
The test is to see the difference between the 5 gallon control grow, a 3 gallon control and a 3 gallon LST grow. If the 3 gallon pots work as well as the 5 gallon, I'll work with 6 in the tent at a time instead of the 4 I originally was thinking. However, I will start with 4 and work my way up. 2 plants harvested every 3 weeks instead of 4.
