I really don't know what to expect, but they seem to be doing fine. Appreciate the help man.

In a couple of days you should see more growth just dont get carried away and nute the crap out of them. One thing I have seen with LED's they veggie great, I am wanting to see a good set-up with LED's for flowering. The one guy I went to see his set-up was not the best and he listen to the wrong advice. You will get everyone to tell you how to do it but half of them are wrong I listen to ones I know that can produce. Good luck.

OK, should I be misting them or watering at all or just wait now until they reach the bottom of cups to get nutes? The cups are 6 inch I think.

Just make sure the water is hitting their roots, are you running drip? the water is moving constant? Myself I never spray them but I do know of one guy in Ft.Collins that does his and he says he has great results from it. I dont know what it comes down to. maybe someone else can answer this.

I've been misting them a little because the roots aren't showing yet. I heard that misting a little prevents bugs. The water level is right at the bottom of the cups and is aeriated with an airstone.

Sound good to me. We have not grown from seed in about 3 years, we clone ours. Wish I was more help in this area but I'm not.

OK their 2 weeks old now and I finally see a very small root coming out the bottom of the net cup on 1 plant and it has its second set of leaves coming out now but the first set of leaves seems to be kinda droopy. I hope its allright.

Will be watching this grow. Have you added nutes yet? Post some pics if you can.

Petho1 · #24 (**permalink**) 10-04-2009, 05:49 PM

Should start to explode once a few more roots make it out of the pot..

Seems a little early for nutes don't ya think?
what dosage are you giving them?

Petho1 · #29 (**permalink**) 10-06-2009, 01:09 AM

Damn, I guess I did a no no? I did add nute mixture in bucket as to directions. Should I not do that? If so, can I change bucket to just water or is it too late?

Add a couple CFLs (twisty bulbs) they're cheap and easy. You can get socket adapters to put the bulbs right into a regular wall socket. Just buy a power strip, some adapters, some y-adapters, zip ties, and bulbs.... you got yourself a sick little light rack to use with your LED spectrum.

also,

If those are mirrors... they're probably hurting more than helping. The glass panel in front of the silver-backing absorbs light and turns it into heat.. also makes hot spots. (not sure if hot spots will be a problem for you with LEDs tho) Good luck. waitin to see how these LEDs work... ha ha

-Lbs.

edit:
as far as nutes go... early seedlings shouldn't get full strength ever. It looks a little too early for nutes at all. Maybe 1/8 strength of bottle instructions. 2-3 weeks from now you can try working up to full strength. Just watch your plants, they're nice enough to ask us for more or less nutes.

just get in tune with em.
