my scrog screen is approx 34" x 48" and my overall grow area is about 44" x 50" x 62"
my seeds are in a 6" pot right now and I'll be using 5 gal buckets with drainage holes.
the screen wihh be about 12 to 13" above the top of the buckets when i transplant
I hope its the right size above them and i'm also gonna attempt lst and topping to maximize flowertops

well, heres an update
started germination on 1/19 and by 1/21 all 3 pineapple chunks germed.
the evas finally germed on 1/22 so i filled my 6" pots with distilled water
til i had 20% runoff waited 20 minutes then planted them
today is the 25th and all are up out of the ground and once again the pineapple has beated the evas again
I wonder if this is gonna be a recurring theme
well anyway heres some pics

clip off the dead parts of the leaves and let them ride brother. cannabis plants are very strong but the roots are probably too weak to go transplanting right now.

I've seen people who just put there seeds in dirt but I prefer the paper towel method becuase I already know that there is an established root when I put it in the soil.
