hi folks

I got myself a pack of nirvana ak48.

I germinated them like this.
They are at 48 hrs

[deepsoul]

once they germinated i put them in a seed raising mix with no nutes and under a 600 watt metal halide.
here the pack of 10 is at 7 days from being put in paper towel

[deepsoul]

here they are at 14 days

[deepsoul]

heres a pic of the tools of the trade..
my hanna combo pocket meter.... and the package for the seeds.

this is my first real grow.

I have equiped myself well to do the job...

[deepsoul]

so i got bored with the soil and well the pic that says they are 14 days lies...as that was the 13th day . on the 14th day they got ripped out of the soil and put in a 60 litre tub with some canna terra nutes...and lots of bubbles...

my water ec is 0.3....nasty ph of 7.5 - 8.0.....

i am now goona go take pic of them at 20 days.

[deepsoul]

so here is a pick at 5 days in hydro, in two days they will be 21 days from seed. I am happy. My water level lowers but my ec stays the same...my ph rises in a 24 hr period so any info on that would be appreciated.

the specs on my garden are complicated....i run an ac unit at 21 c 24 hrs a day at the moment and put a frozen bottle of water in that tub at certain hours of the day.

I have overkill on airated bubbles .....and the aiir exchange is prolly close to 6 times a minute....

the last month of summer here....

if ya want more specs on what i am doing,...then ask....otherwise i will update at least weeky

well compicated for my time of the morning to write.

I have a cab that is .8m in depth 1.2 m in width and 2m in height.

The light i have is a 600watt with a remote ballast. I am able to switch bulbs between mh and a lucagrow. The light hood is very open but has a peice of glass in front of the bulb and a 100mm pc fan extracts from the bulb and through ducting thru the roof of cab and then out of room.
ALso on top of my cab i have a 250mm inline fan that does at least 10 air changes per minute ....it really sucks the panda film towards it from the door of cab...hehehe... nice. The cab then has 2 x 250mm ducted passive intakes...and then the whole room has ac... Eventually the cab will be a veg box. with a flower area in the same room.

For now all ten are in netpots and hydroton and in a 60 litre tub with 58litres of water and nutes.

I have 2 x air curtains in there at the moment which are being pumped from a 4 outlet airpump at 9lites per minute... lots of oxygen..lots o bubbles...

I have two tubs and another air pump....for when i get the second tub going.

Using canna terra nutes ..started at 10ml of veg A and 10ml of veg B so 100ml for tub.

I am about to change water and put in 200ml of nutes.

Nice really white roots are starting to grow out some of the netpots. I am very happy.

When my light comes on in the evening I put a one litre plastic milk bottle of frozen water in the tub, sometimes i do this twice a day.Tub water is kept about 21c .
