  2. I also plan on getting H202 for my plants and to help clean to roots off every week so I can avoid any bacteria or potentially root rot. I also plan on getting better air stones. Maybe going to drop a few bucks and get a micro pore air stone to help get some more bubbles and more oxygen flow to the ladies. If you see anything else be sure to comment don't be shy! I'm always in need of advice since I'm a newbie.  :smoke:
     
  3. Looking good so far. One thing I did not see listed was a fan for circulating air inside the tent?
     
  4. Just going to use a fan I already had, don't know the specs on it but it's a isolating fan and it's pretty big and I may pick up another at Walmart for $15  :smoke:

    I'm germinating some 3 cracked seeds from my Attitude order that weren't badly damaged, they weren't smashed but had a tiny crack so I've had them sitting in water for 2 days and no tap root but a tiny one it looks like. I have them in a moist paper towel and applying little hit to them in a shoe box. I figured maybe they could pull it through besides trashing em. The seeds germinating seeds are Pineapple Express, Durban Poison and Fruity Chronic Juice. If these make it through I may just use these before doing my Sour Diesel. I also had my tent come in two days ago and finally set it up this morning. Easy simple instructions, no problems but damn it sure does give you a good sweat if you're doing it alone. All in all happy with my tent purchase as of now.  :yay:

  6. Ur gunna wanna get a better air pump prolly.
    I kept making the same mistake buying crappy air pumps. Just went and Got a 40$ one and wow.
    It Dosent even compare to 4 other pet store ones I had combined.(paid 120 for the cheap pet store ones all together.)
    It's really worth the money.

    Also ur gunna want to make sure ur water temps are not getting above 70-72 degrees. And not below 60.
    65-68 is perfect.

    Here she is. I was just making sure she worked and everything is perfect as of now. All settings work and it does take about 2-3 minutes to turn on and I thought it died on me for a second and my heart dropped to my balls  :laughing: I need to get some new light clamps because the ones in the apollo light kit are too small to clip onto my tents light support beams. Anyone know of some good light hanger clips? Also not sure what I should do with the cords to get them out of the way. Anyone have any recommendations?

  10. Last night I dropped my Sour Diesel seed in a little pixie cup so it's germinating in some water atm. In 24-48 hours I'll put into a damp paper towel till I see a tap root and put it in a rock wool cube and she should be ready to rock  :hippie:
     
  11. Sour Diesel seed now has a tap root and I just transferred it over to a damp paper towel  :smoke:
     
  12. Seedling popped out today for Sour Diesel!  :yay:  :metal:

  15. My guess is heat stress so I'm going to put the lights a tad bit back to see how it goes 
     
  16. Yo so no roots are coming out of the bottom of the Rockwool yet but there is one coming out of the side of it? Also does that color to you look around 6.0? :confused_2:

  18. Looking good man. What litres per minute is your air pump? I always recommend using 1 litre per minute for every 2 litres of nutrient solution
     
  19. Thanks man appreciate it! Unfortunately the pump I have is a tetra air pump that goes up to 10 gallons and I believe it's 0.5 liter per min if I did the calculation correct (this air pump is suppose to be my back up, my other pump actually died on me and only had it for 2 weeks running). My father has a nice air pump that he is going to give me and I believe it's a 1.3 liter per min one and it's 40 gallons. Thank you for the info brotha  :bongin:
