Lookin good man, Looks like your trying everything to see what works for you, exactly what I did and exactly what I recommend. You're gonna fall in love with this. Seems like youve been reading and let me tell you, thats the number one thing thats gonna help u get better at this. That and asking questions to the right ppl.

For me, the peat pellets didnt work well. I LOVE rapid rooters tho and am actually going to get some more today.

The MG Perlite has worked fine for me. If you read the bag I think it has VERY VERY low concentrations in it. Someone quoted it here on GC once and it was miniscule. I have since stopped using the MG perlite just because I found something cheaper but plenty of ppl use it and personally it has been fine for me. I HAVE noticed how it changes color too and am not totally sure why it does this. Guess I cant say with 100% certainty that it hasnt contributed to any of the problems I HAVE had in my grows.

What kind of weed was in the bag you took the bag seed from?? Ive been interested in collecting some Mexican brick weed in search for sativa lines. GL man!!!!

Rapid rooters are awesome! They're pH neutral. They're easy to use and give awesome results. You can stick them straight into soil or hydro. And best of all, at least according to my dog, they taste good!

Thanks for stopping in ! love your work!

Ok the weed i get around here is crap, and you want the good shit? pay a arm and a leg.

If i want more seeds, i go buy a 25$ bag, ( 1/4 Oz ) and i get anywhere from 5-20 seeds, lol -

I would and most do, consider this mexican weed - Although its not bad smoke, i know i can grow better =)

i REALLY hope this isnt Sativa line im growing, although it doesnt matter, i will be ordering seeds as soon as i start flowering.

Im glad you like the Rapid rooters, i think i have a tray comming in, i forget what i ordered, but it should be here ANY DAY, Along with my nutes! -

--

See ya around!

Oh! About soil - I think i should just find Organic soil, nothing in it, and mix my own? Because Shipping for soil is way to much for my liking and im not willing to spend that kind of money on it - If i could save up say 100-200 bucks for soil, i wouldnt mind doing a 2-3 hour drive to get some Fox farm...

But as for mixing my own, that is good enough right? Perlite, Peat moss, Worm casting?

Im really considering going Hydro in my flower room, a Ebb & Flow, i have not read much into building my own, but im sure as hell not buying one.


Edit: Thanks for the DIY link in your Sig!

Ok Guys, here is the update for the day, Today i had alot of tap root to plant!


Today i planted 14 seeds, giving me a total of 24 plants in action!


with another 6-10 seeds in the process of Germinating..

--

So what do i think? i think my Eyes where bigger then my Stomach, and my 400 watt hps didnt get shipped till today, so i have a week till it gets here.

I think i might treat my plants like the spartans treated there kind!, Dispose the weak! Promote the Strong!

haha anyhow!

Peat Pellets Vs Rapid Rooter

Today i planted a total of 6 seedlings, 3 in Peat and 3 in Rapid, i picked the seeds that had comparable amount of tap root showing, so the growing should be at the same speed! Ill keep updated photo's!

----

The Mother clone room Without a Fan blowing is MAX 72f 42% and a LOW of 64f 36% Humidity.

And i still have to throw ina 400 watt hps. But again, i will have a few good fans in here, so we will see how that!

----

Ph of my Tap water is 6.89-6.92


Think that coveres for today, should be done with my Stand here soon! its very important i make it as sturdy as possible!

good indoor grow i usually start out some of my early outdoor plants with CFLS then once summer hits I mass germinate outside in 32 ounce Styrofoam cups around mid may Curious to see how they veg until you get your HPS looks good so far unless the MG starts to burn your babys

Looks good. I would think videos are safe, your face is not in it.
