Hello MNS friends. I'm really excited to start my third grow, my first haze hybrid and my first MNS strain. I've collected a number of MNS strains, and my focus has been almost exclusively on haze hybrids. Other candidates for my first MNS grow included Afghan Haze, Mango Haze inbred line, Neville's Haze Mango and Super Silver Widow. I decided on Angel's Breathe because the parents are so well regarded and because the few reviews have been enticing, to say the least. Nevil commented that AB looks like a great strain. Also, because there aren't many (or any?) complete Angel's Breathe grow logs here, I figured that perhaps I could make a positive contribution to the community.
A bit about me and my setup: I'm a legal, personal rec grower in Massachusetts, a scientist, a tinkerer and an energy efficiency nut. Needless to say I grow under COBs, two 300W 6-Citizen CLU048 COB fixtures I designed and built for 600 W of light in the flowering tent. My 4x4 tent recently turned into a flowering tent when I built a veg/clone cabinet, in which I'll grow and clone the AB seedlings. The veg/clone cabinet is functional but incomplete, and I'll post up some pics of that along the way. I really love growing and having the veg/clone cabinet allows me to do more of it in a given time span. I'm also interested in automation and will be working on that as time allows.
My tent is in my unheated basement so growing in winter is painful because I spend more electricity on supplemental heat than I do on the lights. So I hope to do some things to maximize the overall energy efficiency of my setup, with an emphasis on HVAC efficiency as much as COB LEDs. I'm currently flowering Strawberry Cough and Tangie and I unwittingly timed my current grow well because this (mid August) is the time of year when humidity and temps in the tent can get high (as much as 86F and 75%), but as the outside weather turns cooler that should be less of an issue late in flower. Current grow is at F25-F33, so I expect the flower tent to be available in October. I hope to have a few nice plants harvested around the new year, hence the title of this grow log.
My plan is to grow out up to 10 plants from seed, take clones, and flower the clones in October. I'm growing in coco hempy buckets and using the General Hydroponics flora series drain-to-waste (DTW) feed schedule:
I built a drain table with a 15-gal reservoir below, so my tent only has about 52 inches (1.3 m ) of headroom between the coco surface and the COB fixtures. I'm therefore a little nervous about controlling the height of these plants during the stretch, based on what Shanti said, but I now have some experience mainlining and I'm ready to take on the challenge.
So, I popped a half tube (10) of Angel's Breathe seeds today in rapid rooters, and we're off!

it is a strain needing some experience with Hazes....but when it comes out right you will be most satisfied...I assure you.
