  7. Nice I'm subscribed, you have a get set up started. :D
     
  8. Hoping to scrog for some huge buds, but we'll see! Also, any advice a long the way is always appreciated!
     
  9. I've read that using clear tubing could create algae which then would create problems with your water. Instead try using black tubing or blue

  10. Great point! Didn't even consider, I got some black duct tape, I'll wrap it around and use that to tape the tubes together at a certain point as well.

    Getting them germinated! Seems like a good temp, right over a light so it stays warm.

    Getting them Germinated, put them in at 6 pm on 11/24/14 (yesterday), going to check them when I get home today!

    Steps taken:

    1. PH'ed water to 6ishhhh (only have the color changing fluid).
    2. Folded paper towel over a couple times and dipped it in completely.
    3. Wrung out excess water until pretty damp.
    4. Placed seeds in, and placed napkins in the ziploc bag.
    5. Placed in cabinet above warm light.

    • As an extra step, I blew into the bag before sealing it to add extra CO2.. Figured it wouldn't hurt if anything.
     
  14. Subbed, best of luck in your Narnia garden
     
  15. Haha I appreciate it!
     
  16. Big things happening!

  17. After it not fitting, missing a corner pole, and being overall hard in the small space. She's finally up.

  19. All four have sprouted! Forgot to label the first two. So we'll have to figure out which is which later! Did label the other two though so we can use those as reference!
     
  20. Three out of four sprouts, the fourth has a good root going on but has not broke the surface yet. Hopefully it will soon, as I am about to put them under the light at 50%
