Good evening ladies and gentleman, I have just begun my second grow and as such starting another journal. Hope this one turns out as well if not better than my first, which will be hard to beat

Please feel free to visit my first grow, as there are some great pictures and final results, which quite frankly are amazing, and makes me glad I discovered this new hobby of mine. Here we go.

I purchased the seeds from Nirvana and they are feminized. Packet states PPP.

OK, basically started by putting a seed into some very damp paper towels in a washed out lo mien carryout container (yeah you can still see some of the shit). lol This is the same setup I used for my last grow. Well, then I just put it by my cable modem and router were it is dark and not cold. I will check back in a few days.

Moved the girl from the wet paper to the wet rockwool. Back into the container and back into the hole.

1. the container, rockwool, utensil to widen the hole in the rockwool, knife
2. ppp exposed
3. moving her from the towels to the wet rockwool see her on the tip of the knife?
4. ppp nested in the rockwool kind of shitty pic eh
5. back into the container
6. cover and back by the modem and router

Tomorrow after work, setup the tub and get ready for the move from darkness to light.

This is exactly what I did with the first grow. When the move occurs, we will have a full functioning system for her. Then in roughly 7 to 14 days we'll start with some mild nutes, full strength will be given when she's about 6 to 8 inches 15 to 20 cm.

As my pops would say, "So far so good."

Please remember, this grow is a low cost, stealth model, say for an apartment. We only move 6 Gal 22 liters, minimal smell, minimal noise, and depending on seed (got a 2 oz 58.1 gr first grow)a personal harvest.
If you want an idea of what to expect, I strongly urge you to view my first grow journal. Although not from seed, it does have some great pics. Plant, harvest, cure weight, etc. Please check it out so I get hits. lol Oh yeah one more thing, if your expecting ph levels and humidity readings, etc. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Anytime I feck with a plant I kill it. So as my farmer grandparents said, "Leave it alone, it'll take care of itself."

Today she's been moved to the tub and light. She's in her spot until harvest. Seeing as she's still in germination, no nutes, we don't need air pump for the bubbleponics yet, and the fan also need not be engaged at this time. Hey save as much electric as you can.

1. the water pump is put into tub
2. marking for 6 gallons lol I know I know I'm using one gallon containers so why not just count them? Because a couple of times I forgot, I was toking while doing it

this isn't really important now, but when we start the nutes it becomes critical as the nutes are premixed and weighed for 6 Gal 22 liters
3. we use 2 containers one fills while we move the other to the tub
4. very important to thoroughly wash the hydroton grow rocks or your water will turn dark brown
5. obvious, pouring the water into the tub
6. prep for her crib
7. let her in, look how much she's grown since yesterday already popping out of the hole

8. close the door, also important to cover as much as possible so no light gets through into your water, that causes algae
9. into the tub she goes another fecking lousy picture
10. pic of the wiring it's in a drawer, the white thing on top is my speed adj for fan
11. lower the lights
12. dropback view
13. close cabinet

OK All we can do now is hope the genetics are good and we have a successful grow. Hope you've enjoyed it so far and possibly it was of help to some of you as well. I'll keep updating as required.

Also, please post your comments or questions. I know a lot of you are wondering why I'm only doing one plant. Well, frankly seeing as this is only my second grow and I'm also giving a step by step, I really don't want to become overwhelmed. Besides, it's enough for me, for now

Check out my first girl, she took up the whole box.

Woke this morning and found that she's already popped the shell. I don't know, my first grow didn't happen this fast. I hope this is a good omen.

Oh yeah, the roots already past the rockwool, so I'm going to have to get that airstone by the weekend.

1. here she comes
2. side ass view lol
3. OK see the shell to the right? fecking awesome, looks like a little pacman

We are on the way. hehe
