    Hello everyone!

    This is my second try at growing. First time was in 2010 and did not finish it. After failure with three seeds this is my fourth try.

    Ok I am feeling very confident this time. I am doing things completely by the book. Did this today.

    I filled the tray with little more than 1/2 inch of water and added 1/4 of each per gallon, hormex and superthrive. I rolled the pod on the water to soak it good.

    I adjusted the PH to 5.8 and PPM is 200. Please let me know what you guys think. Hopefully this will work!

  2. Strain is Seedism Diesel!
     
  3. Yeah you are correct. I could add more tap water to raise it. That's what I will do when it needs more. I am excited to see how long it takes to sprout.
     
  4. Hey there, good setup, best of luck.   I have a few questions I think you can answer as I and beginning my first real grow (7.5cubic ft tent.)  closet.  So I have Tent and area next to it as the T5 HO 2' tube.   I plan a sog method so I bet there will be clones later, but the seeds are what I worry about.  I bought growblocks (rockwool cubes) and all the pH ip/down, meter(looks like yours I think) and coco and getting perlite.  like tomorrow xD. so did you pH water to ?? (5.8) and how did you place seed? and did you do the 24hr cup of water? or towel?  The package of blocks says pH soak stand a few mins then place and cover and then idk.   last question is When do they go to my Newb T5 area?   its covered 1/2 inch so is that the dark and the light I sthere right away? and 2-3 days it breaks surface?    sry im ranting. so many questions xD and I have a few Good seeds otw for first time.  any help is appreciated and great setup again there.
     
  5. Hey there!
    *Yes I did PH it down to 5.8; it was around 7.2 from tap.

    * I place the seed using a my fingers very delicately without touching the roots.

    * I used the 24 hours cup of water and then put them in the towel for almost two days. By then the root was long enough to go to the plug.

    * Once you take them out and put them on the cube is time to put them under light. Then you wait for them to come out.

    * For the cube just soak it in the medium good and put them on a baking pan or something similar with 1/2 to 1 inch of water and may be a dome to keep humidity high.

    Hope that helps I am new too. Make a journal of everything here. Hopefully some experience growers take some interest in helping us out.

    Good luck! :)

    Still nothing yet...

    I hope I didn't do something stupid like over watering the plug or something. I did squeezed the plug like in the picture above a little and water squirted out before putting the seed. Maybe I am just paranoid and need to wait more.

    This is my 3rd day after adding it to the plug.

    Comment's welcome :)

    Thank you for the feedback. Hopefully I pull through, not feeling confident :-S
     
  13. What you think is what you become so you better project goodness into that little baby! You seem like you gt it right but I'm just a beginner myself. But I had three failures before it finally is going right now sooo I say keep going till you get your buds to smoke.

    Don't get caught up in the "rules" of it. I did research for months and that's why I failed my first three times when all I shoulda done was gone to my momma for gardening advice LOL hers was the best I got one time she said "it was so DRY! plants need water to survive! I watered it." And I was like "NOOOOEEEZZZ MOM BUT GRASSCITY SAID DONT OVERWATER"

    Hahaha safe to say my plant got better after mom's nourishing. And once I backed off she started growing like crazy so don't pressure yourself you're just gonna grow a pretty bush, tell yourself that.

    Thanks bro! It was so easy when I was 15 years old to get a Bush in soil and now I am having a rough time with hydro lol. Soil spoiled me! I can't wait to try again and see if my next seedling will be stronger.

    I will post pics this afternoon.
