Looking good so far

Hurry put them in soil now.

Levitationofme · 08-06-2016, 01:35 AM

Seeds nice and settled in their Jiffy Plugs sitting in a Humidity Dome
Keeping them on a wick pad with PH 6.4 R/O
T-5 Light across the top and warmer below.

Preparing their Box this weekend
Sterilizing my 6 inch Smart Pots
Sterilizing the Chamber for shits n Grins again.

As soon as I see some root action I will be ready to Pot them up.
Also Transition them to LED.

So far so good. Just popping thru the plugs. Into the soil they go.

Soil watered with 75% R/O water, 25% Microbe Tea
Watered from the top. Soaking thru the bottoms as well for a couple hours before I draw out excess if necessary.

Lights about 20 inches above plants.

I think you can bring those lights closer once they all pop their heads up.
With my T-12 double bulb fluorescent fixtures I put them 8 inches away
to start them out. But in your case I suspect it's because the light may
not cover all the pots at 8" away.

Levitationofme · 08-07-2016, 11:16 PM

Yea, these lights run fairly cool. I will play with getting closer once I see how they pop out.

Now, should I go 12/12 or give them a week to start developing more leaf.

My first run with 12/12 from seed I actually
Waited a week or 10 days.

Went directly into early flower nutrients
It seemed to go well, but limited experience
In growing, so not sure how effective it was.

Most people will tell you to go 12/12 out of the gate. In my experience that's not necessary if you use small pots.
Since you can't produce crazy trees in small pots. Mind you I have a 4 footer now in a 5" square pot.

I vegetated for a while this time. Well over a month. But I was training the plants to get bushy before
I flipped to a 12/12 photoperiod. If you really limited vertically. Then flipping early may be wise.

Note: It's better to flip early and get shorter manageable plants vs waiting too long and having plants hit the ceiling.

Once you grow a specific strain you'll get a feel for what you can expect.

Im still working on getting a specific grow style and of course my preferences as for growing my own stash.

I seem to be pulled in the Pure Sativa direction. I am old enough to remember some of the older classics. Their were some interesting different highs. The commercial bud I have lived off of for years was fine, but it was nothing that interesting. Lots of cool names.

I'm thinking growing in soil will suit me nicely. So far I like it.
Learning to be patient.

I have flipped to 12/12. Everything looking good. Lights lowered as low as heat will let me.
