Default Blacksheep's 1st Batch!

OK, First time indoor grower. Been reading on here for 2 weeks. Here is my setup so far.

Made a vacation watering system(had to leave for 6 days right after germination).

I switched out the flors on the bench to Plant ones. They have a more blue tent to them. One small fan blowing 24/0 like the light.

I have a 400HPS that I am currently installing in my flower room. Will be putting up sheet rock to enclose them and paint it a matte finish white color. WIll post of progress pics once I start building it.

If anyone wants to give advice or recommend something, please do.

1. March 26th, seeds are placed in wet paper towel, and placed into ziplock bag.

2. March 29th, Germinating seeds are place into soil pots under Floro for 24/0 hours a day.

3. March 31st, stems start to appear.

4. April 1st, Auto time drip system created and tested for 2 days before Vacation

5. April 3rd, off on vacation fro 6 days.

6. April 8th returned and all plants are thriving but one. 1/16 not too bad. Thats a 94% chance of survival on a watering system that was poorly put together in an hour.

Here are the pics from start to today.

Well, Actually 100% stayed alive. The one I thought was not going to make it, made it. It pop some green leaf today. Signs of life. So the watering system is 100% proof.

All I did was get the smallest Fountain/Pond pump (40 gallons an hour). I wanted to make sure it had enough pump to at least pump about 2-3 oz of water per pot. I had 16 pots. Next on my list I bought 50 feet of 1/4'' hose. Then about 8 T fittings to split to all the plants. Then Added pressure restricting drippers that would slow the drip down to I think 1 gallon and hour. So with all 16 going, it pump just enough water for 1 minute on the pump for all 16 plants.

Then I bought a Digital Timer and plugged it and and set it to water every day at 5AM.

Came home 6 days later, and it was perfect. All plants are thriving.

The FLORALUX 400 Watt HPS Fixture with a few extra bulbs came in a few days ago. I got upgraded from the $99 dollar one to the the $199 for free since there were out of stock on the one I ordered. SCORE! HTG SUPPLY ROCKS! Will post up pics soon.
