Harvest log · First-cycle validation

The daily cycle tracker.

A printable same-day log the owner fills in during the August–September 2026 first-cycle validation — target-timing reference at the top, runnable log table down the page, cycle summary strip at the bottom. Print one copy per cycle run. Targets are draft, subject to revision across the validation window.

Harvest log · Aug–Sept 2026 first-cycle validation

The daily-use instrument for blackout-end, lights-on, and harvest.

This is the log the owner keeps at the bench through the August–September 2026 first-cycle validation. The timing block at the top anchors the seed → blackout → light → harvest schedule across the 7–14 day cycle window. The 9-column log table down the page captures one row per cycle run — cycle number, seed date and variety, blackout start and end, lights-on, harvest date, dry yield per tray, pack-size count, and free-form notes.

Print one copy per cycle run, fill in same-day so blackout-end and lights-on drift don't get reconciled from memory. The cycle summary strip at the bottom is for end-of-run totals across a 10-run baseline.

Target cycle timing · 7–14 day window (Phase 1)
Day Phase Action Check Owner
Days 0–1 Seed → blackout start Saturate seed, stack trays, weight 3–5 lb; cover with blackout dome. No light bleeds. Uniform germination across all trays in the batch. JP
Days 1–3 Blackout Press 3–5 lb weight; no light. Cab stays sealed. Ambient 68–72°F. Cotyledons lifting the weight; even canopy press-curve. JP
Days 3–5 Blackout → light Remove weight when ≥80% of trays show lift; cue lights to 14–16 h photoperiod. Even canopy height ±0.25 in across the batch. JP
Days 5–8 Lights on 14–16 h photoperiod; maintain 65–70°F; airflow on. First true leaves visible; no leggy stretch. JP
Days 7–14 Harvest Cut at first true leaf; weigh dry yield before pack; refrigerate ≤41°F. Yield vs target 1.0–1.4 lb/tray (~454–635 g). JP
