Hello all I just wanted to stop in and tell you all how they are.
I started my seeds October 7th (10 seeds)in a soak with a very very weak grow solution..... they sat in the water for 24hrs then i did a 15 min dunk test if you don't know thats where you tap the seeds into the water to see if they will sink or swim.... if they sink they have potintal if they don't trash them..... then i put (8 seeds) into the paper towel method and waited another 24hrs.... of those 8 seeds 4 of them had roots (which was more then enough) so I took those 4 seeds and planted them into my 1in' rockwool cubes and buried them roughly two 1/2 inches in my hydro clay pebbles After the weekend I came home to find out they were already sticking out of the top of the rocks so I declared Monday the 10th as their birthday ..... well to get to the point this is my set up...
1-general hydroponics top feed hydro modified to fit my grow style so its sort of like a self watered hydro bubble bucket (see picture)
2-cfl's putting out 1600 lumens each (going to be adding more lights as they grow up [all cfl])
1- cfl tube 1ft long cool white (don't know the lumens)
1- 24hr timer set 18/6
many nutrients
and 2 loving parents
I spend one hr a day with them for the carbon dioxide oxygen exchange
and they are only watered once the pebbles dry out and nutri feed every 2 watering
1st pic is after one week (sorry for the crappy phone cam)
2nd pic is of my set up
let me know what you think ........ oh yeah and I'm going to be doing LST
This will be updated every week (if I remember)
