Here's a little update. We got three seeds germed and in rapid rooters under some cfl's for now. They're on top of a heat mat. Temp is about 76f, and 80% RH inside the dome.
mom area.
picture of how big the 100w cfl's are. rediculous.
then we have the seeds.
Today we checked our tubs for the first time for water leaks and were pretty disappointed, especially since beforehand we didn't give much thought to how exactly we were gonna get the water out once it was in there. We ended up having to use our little water pump to fill up 5 gallon water jugs one at a time and dump them out. Since our system is like a total of 80+ gallons, it took a long time to dump them out with our little pump. Hopefully we won't have to change the reservoirs that often.
We eventually got the water out of all of them and did some resealing on the fittings. We also discovered we need some small metal worm clamps for the hose attachments on the outside. they didn't seam to seal nearly as well as we'd hoped. Live and learn I suppose.
thanks for checkin in.
