I've been running LED since 2015. Same Cree Cxb3070s I built myself. Environment has ALWAYS mattered. Even when I was rocking 6000 watts of HID lol. VPD is great, but feed can be adjusted in lower humidity/temperature and be pretty comparable. I noticed my biggest jump in consistency and yield switching from FFOF/promix bx peat type soil to pure Coco in smaller containers DTW. I like higher humidity through week 3/4 then lower and lower (temp too) til the end. If I can finish in the 30s or 40s rh% and mid to low 70s daytime temps I will. I've noticed quality goes way up if humidity is lower in the last 3 weeks of flower. To each his own. These forums taught me a ton. Experience taught me exponentially more. The best advice to me always came from the most experienced growers. Also, I NEVER give my plants more than 1.4 ec MAX. Usually between 1.2 and 1.3. Even in peat that was a game changer for me. The low ec feed thread by homebrewer (I switched to jack's in coco, but used his dynagro grow as a standalone in peat mixes), posts from @UncleBuck , the coco DTW thread, and the Diy Led thread from @SupraSPL with contributions from many including seamaiden and greengenes, et al., changed my life.

Just realized I tagged the wrong uncle. Uncle ben is who I was looking for, but couldn't find him. Vast amounts of knowledge from him and homebrewer if any newb reads this and wants to glean a grip of growing knowledge.

I popped all my csi old paper packs just in case (mostly bubba crosses). Glad I did. The germination rate was extremely low on a few of them (1/7 ghost, 1/7 tahoe, 0/7 pure kush), but some of the mothers (hashplant, WiFi, sfv, cheese) still germinated wonderfully. The surviving ghost and Tahoe x bubba weren't doing much at all so I culled them. When they aren't even a couple inches still in solos and their peers are almost being flowered and have been transplanted it's game over lol. I'll post a couple pics and a list of the survivors soon. I also popped my regular 3 beans each out of some newer csi gear. Most of those have been great. The t1000 s1's were 2/3. Both survivors mutants. One was doing the barely growing thing so out she went. The other is ugly but growing and strangely has that ogkb look. My favorite so far (everything is still in veg) is the ofp f2. They are vigorous and stinky already.

I found a few retards, "vertically challenged", in the Chem D S1's and
TK S1's. The D's were the worst.

What do you think is up with the paper packs?
Sounds like they let too much moisture sneek into the puck and oxidized the seeds.

So, I picked these up today.

I just popped 7 Wifi43 x gsc that were in black paper pack, got 6 out of 7 above surface in 3 days and the 7th would of popped but i only had room for 6 so made it easy to toss.

I think they're old. Probably 6+ years. 3 in my hands. Mostly bubba crosses doing it to me. And the tk x mendo purple. Didn't have any issues with newer stock. I wonder if that was his first reversal project and they've been stored like shit since. Not every seed in those old packs look good to me. Hell, my pack of bubblegum s1's have 11 seeds. Some are white and premature. Which is super surprising to me for CSI. Maybe his quality control wasn't up to snuff back then? Maybe he didn't let the moms go long enough to finish ripening the seeds? Maybe he didn't time the reversal correctly and pollinated late? Who knows. I know I saw another person's Indiana Bubblegum S1 pack and it had seven beautiful beans. Also came in the newer package so probably from a more recent run. I found 1/6 mutant in my TKS1'S. It had some variegation and gre more floppy. It was one of 3 I culled, the other 2 had early male flowers down low. Wish I would've just kept those 3 and stripped the lowers because I loved the 3 I kept and wonder how they would have turned out. I have 5 packs of the chemd s1. I haven't ran any, but I'm excited to. Keep us updated on yours please!! I can't wait to see them and your TkS1!

Not to butt into your convo, but the Chem D S1 I kept and am running is a freaking beast. She is growing branches everywhere and stretching like crazy. I would not be surprised to see male flowers show up on the lowers. In my very limited experience, intersex plants display exceptional vigor and are often not a problem when the lowers are cleaned up.

I also have a purple dog bud going from a paper pack that was slow to start but is a stinky beast now.

I popped my whole pack of purple dogbud too just in case! I'll hafta check how many made it, but I think the germ rates were good on that one for me! I know I have at least 3. I will post my recently popped list later and some pics. I definitely started too many beans this run, but I was scared lol didn't want to miss my window for their viability. Glad I did though. I'm excited see your purple dogbud!
