Don't know if this is due to the type of weed I've got, or if it's caused bye the organic plugs I used to germinate them, but all 8 of the sprouts have developed really long tap roots that have already extended past the base of the seed...so I planted them.
Six of them have gone into the hydro kit, and the other two went into 1.5 gallon pots with soil. I'm a little leary about putting them into their homes so early, and I feel weird letting them get "watered" 24/7 in the hydro kit. But that's how everything I've read says to do it. Guess if they all die I know something is wrong lol.
Lighting is definately going to be an issue on this grow. I need to move the lights I have around a bit, and maybe grab a couple of extra fixtures. Right now the two in soil are getting only indirect light, since my roomate came home early and I didn't feel like explaining why I was drilling holes into the ceiling lol. I'll get that fixed tomorrow. Long term I'm definately going to need HID lighting.
P.S. Looks like a 9th seed has sprouted today. I can see just a hint of green when I peek down the hole in the plug
. The 10th seed, however seems to be MIA. After looking down the hole with a flashlight, I still couldn't see it, so I opened up the plug - no seed. No idea where it went lol.
P.P.S My original plans called for this grow to be done in a cabinet. However when I decided to go hydro, those plans had to change. They hydro unit won't fit in the cabinet I was planning to use. I'll probably have to build some sort of box for it, instead, if only to have a better way to reflect light onto the sides of the plants. On the other hand, I discovered that my roommate is looking at apartments, so I may have an extra bedroom that I can use in the near future
