    • Secret Jardin Darkroom II Pro 60 – 24 x 24 x 64 (inches)
    • 5gal DWC Hydroponic bucket setup

    Nutrients:
    • General Hydroponics Flora Series
    • General Hydroponics PH Control Kit
    I plan on utilizing a SCROG. Here is the net I'll be using.
     
    Grower's Notes:
    • placed seed in shot glass to soak
    • should see a radicle here in the next couple of days pending successful germination

  2. Wow, that blue mystic turned out really nice. Can't wait to see how these crops look in a couple months!
     
    Good choice in seeds this time mate
     
  3.  
    Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing what she can do. If its anything like the Blue Mystic I'll be in heaven.
     
  4. Excited to see this turn out!

    Let's hope the seed...er sprout doesn't break in half this time! :metal:
     
  5.  
    Yeah no kidding. I dont blame the seed though; im sure it was my error some how.
     
  6. Your ladies are LOOKIN might fine there. I'm subbed in!
     
  7. Aside from the lighting this is a very similar setup to what I was thinking for my next grow, definitely subscribed.

    • The seed sank to the bottom of the shot glass
    • Took it out and placed it in a damp paper towel over night

  10. subbed! i have one question about the led though, is it loud at all with the fans on it? im doing a closet grow and i am considering buying one. although noise will be a factor with the fans for when i have guests over. thanks!

    Its not loud enough to rouse suspicion. I grow in a corner in my laundry room. When the cable/internet guy came during my first grow I just turned on my washer and dryer. He had to get to the box in the same room!

    • Radicle has sprouted. I'm gonna wait another night for it to grow out some more before I drop it in the bucket and under the LED

    Here is some of the new equipment I bought for this grow:
     
    [​IMG]
     
    • 15 LPM air pump with 2 large air stones and 1 small air stone not pictured (upgraded from 2 LPM, single large air-stone)
    • 7 day light timer to automate veg/flower photo-periods (didnt need one in my first grow because of it being an auto, and therefore on a 24/0 light schedule)
    • 5 gal bubble bucket, not pictured (upgraded from the 4 net pot, 5 gal container)
    Exciting!
