Le1337need's Grow Journal

I cheated earlier today and took a quick peak at my seedlings. Can already see the tip of the taproot come out of a couple of the seeds already. got an email from htgsupply.com with a tracking number for my hps light. looks like it will get here tomorrow. too bad i'll be at work. maybe, just maybe, it'll get delivered while i'm on my lunch break. can already tell the difference of quality from nirvana and bagweed seeds. saw earlier also that nirvana now has some fem seeds... thinking about ordering some snow white. though i may wait until i have gone through my first batch of misty and top44, but it would be nice knowing that all seeds were fem.... ugh decisions, decisions, decisions..

i think i over watered my bagweed seeds. majority of the leaves are droopy. note to self: "wait about 36hrs between watering."

I planted some seeds of crap a week ago...nothing. Planted some seeds i got from Amsterdam yesterday morning 12 out of 20 have all cracked and roots showing. seeds are huge!!

Got my hps light today from htgsupply.com, which rules. Can see current grow setup here



Also, my 4 seeds of Misty have germinated, as you can see here



Put the seeds in the pete moss (i know i'm not calling it the right name) thingys. A little worried that I may have put a seed upside down and that I may have put them too deep in. oh well, I think they will survive. I plan to see the first seedlings pop out wed or even thursday. Will hopefully replant on saturday, spend a few days, maybe a week under cfls, and move to current hps setup. that may be thinking a little too far ahead tho.

Don't you want to be using a Hetal Halide light for vegging?

I might be wrong I'm still learning...

Yes mh is better than hps for vegging, but i'm too lazy to figure out if my lamp will support both hps and mh, and then to figure out sockets for the different bulbs, trying to k.i.s.s. as much as possible

Today was the seed's first day under light. None have popped up yet. Hoping to see them Thursday for Friday. Stupid me, lost my camera. I remember doing something with it earlier today, but then I smoked a few bowls, took a shower and it's gone mia. It's funny, when ever I lose something, I always look over the same places a billion times. It's very frustrating.

I found my camera last night under the couch.

Opened the lil grow box after work to night, and this is what I saw..




Here's a closer look




My numbering scheme is going to work something like this:

• The letter designates how the plant looked at the begining compared to it's peers (closer to A the better, closer to Z the not so better)

• The number means generation. (1 is the first generation, 2 is the second (clone) etc, etc, etc)

Goodie, the kindergarten teacher is in the house with a journal and colored pictures. Sounds right except its PEET MOSS thingies.
