i didnt get on with the jiffy pellets, tried them once but after that just went for rockwool cubes and havent looked back.

I've been lifting the cling film up every few hours and blowing on them to add some CO2 and remove a bit of moisture. Will mist in time

Ok, propagator arrived this morning, so they've been put in their proper place. Two have even already popped thru the surface of the peat pellets and are looking very green! Only 3 1/2 days after starting germination too, so i'm very happy with them. As yet I haven't rigged up my main light, but I do have a small but very bright energy saving light about 3in above them as an interim measure. Does light over those which have not broken the surface make a difference as far as anyone knows? It might sound silly but I was just wondering if their phototropism is affected at all before breeching or if it's just negative geotropism

I went to amsterdam 2 years ago and just stashed my seeds in an empty shampoo bottle inside a baggy, hey presto

I like to have the light above them so they know which way to head for

OK, so, 14 have popped up and are looking lovely. The 2 tallest are about 2in high. One has died, it was just weak from the start. It's now 6 days since starting germination. I have a problem however - there is some mold growing around the base of a few of the pucks. It looks kinda like spider webs but it's not, it's white and evil! I've had the lid on the propagator for 2 days straight, with occasional lifting, so I worry that it was ths that caused the mold to grow. I now have the lid off, and am going to leave it off overnight to see what happens. Does anyone know of a good anti mold product I can order?
Thanks

9 of them, 7 days old, seen from above in propagator. Substrate is 1 part vermiculite to 5 peat based matter. This is after emergency transplant from mould covered peat pucks! They survived it well, but there are a couple that are struggling

Long time no post.
Ok, well even if i'm talking to myself, i'm gonna keep going!
Day: 17
Alive: 12
Thriving: 10
Nutes: Hesi Powerzyme, Root Complex, TNT, all 1/4 strength

Well they've been on nutes for about 4 days now, and they're LOVING it. No sign of nute burn, just massive leaf growth considering they're only under 2 CFLs. I've made big progress in setting up the proper grow chamber too, it's nearly done. Can't wait to get them under HPS and see what it can do! I've had problems with burning the plants, and one just suddenly wilted and was dead. Bit crap but the majority are still going strong.
As always, any comments welcome...

OK, it's been a while and lots has changed.

The biggest change is that the grow chamber is finished and they moved up there yesterday, having been re potted in 3L pots from their seedling tray. They're looking pretty good, no wilting, but as far as I can see the yellowing on the leaves has not gone away (though it may have stopped progressing) . I found out that the medium I got has added nutes (d'oh, didn't think it did) so I reckon it was nute burn when I added some of my own on top - poor things. On pure water now. It's pretty much exclusively the lower leaves that are affected, like, the first true leaves. Don't know if this is significant or not. Lemme know if you know!

Got some pics to add:







So that's the grow chamber. It's got plastic walls, C3 lined on the inside, 400w HPS on 18/day, 2 120mm fans on the same, and 12 plants of Sensi Skunk. The fans are running off an AC/DC adaptor. If anyone in the UK wants to do the same, get 4 120mm fans from ebuyer for ~£5 and a variable DC adaptor from Co-Op for £4!

Comments are VERY welcome. This is my first time, so i'm playing it by ear!
Cheers

PS: Can anyone explain the strange lighting effect goin on in some of these pics? I guess it's to do with the HPS and my camera phone.
