I'm planning to start my garden backup this year since they finally made everything legal. I want to know is it necessary to have a AC cool for a 250w for a 2x4x5 tent? I ask because I plan to supplement with CFLs for side lighting.
Btw I have a carbon filter and inline fan with a speed control.

I wouldn't think so. A 250w closet grow got into the 80's (26 C) that was with near passive air flow and a vent hole.
To be fair that was a bad idea. Using an inline fan should fix that.

Guess who's back in the house?
Seeds click clackin' around.
Blue Mystic babies, this is weird but I'm hoping for three girls and one boy.
Good bye high seed prices, hello permanent supply.

Nice...new life..
Im waiting for some royal orange seeds to come in the post, the last from flying Dutchman apparently they are no more.
( The company,) taken over by Sensi Seeds. Grew this strain for 10 yrs, never found anything as good, since..
Here's some more pics of the gorilla glue harvested day 67. ..250w HPS, this perticular pheno had some purple happening.. cured to a tasty smooth smoke. This GG4 strain I'm replacing with the Royal Orange, I also have some Green Crack coming along nicely at week 9flower... a keeper.

Those look like delightful buds.
If the seeds are the last of the last you can get, you might want to do what I'm doing and build a supply.
Great way to ruin a grow space if you aren't fastidiously anal about cleaning but we gotta do what we gotta do to ensure our favorite strains survive.
When I picked up my seeds, I also looked for regular Kaya Gold's with zero luck. I found autos and feminized but those are great for growers, not so good for breeders.
Now I wish I could have kept my Kaya Gold lineage going.

Thanks, I tend to steer clear of autos, feminised too, I am a believer that regular seeds are king.. but I'm old school, & that was all there used to be in the good old days, doesn't mean I'm right.
My precious arrived in the post...
fasten your seatbelts.. haha.. the last batch I bought must have been old (er) stock coz not one sprouted. Fingers crossed this time.. if you can get your hands on this strain I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I don't mind being one of the few that still use a 250w grow set up but it baffles me why more aren't using a 250.
It's power consumption friendly, it produces great smokables and it's a small footprint for set up.

Day 3
The waiting game.....
4 out of 4 beans popped. I didn't wait for the tails to fully come out, I put them in the ground as soon as I seen the shell pop and the tail start to get exposed.
So it's been 3 days since then.
They're in a humidity dome with a light directly over top. I want them to sprout so bad....they even have names.
If anyone needs me, I'll be smoking and pacing and waiting for the babies to move towards the light.
I trust they will make it but the when is killing me.

Day 6...
No signs of breaking the soil.....did I plant too early?
Did gremlins eat the seeds?
Did I eat the seeds when I was high?
Only the shadow knows......

Day 7...
My soul is hanging in limbo...
None of the seeds have broken the surface yet...
I'll give them 7 more days before I scrap the whole lot and try again.

Today is day 14....the day I said I was going to dissect the peat pods and see what happened to the seeds.
I don't know why they didn't sprout, all the beans pop's so it could be drowning or some other reason.
I'm going to drop a quick note in the help forum and ask for thoughts before I open the pods.

I dug out two seeds, white paste was oozing out of one and the second seemed to be stalled with an exposed tap root so I left it alone.
I'm determined to produce a mated pair of plants this year so I tried starting another batch.
I'm not naming them, only two have their taproots out so far.
I could use some thoughts though.
I usually use peat pucks to go from seed to sprout but I do have all sorts of options available to me.
I can do;
Peat puck
Self made medium mixture (vermiculite, pearlite, organic soil or any combination)
I could use a Jiffy humidity dome or no dome. Solo cups, 6 pack plant starting trays or small plant pots.
Bottle water, distilled water or mineralized tap water.
What have you used? I know I have gotten good results from all methods but after my latest fail, I would like some thoughts to help me out.
