Some pics for ya! One NL did crack and was planted too. The plastic wrap has plenty of holes punched in the tops and I'll remove the plastic when they sprout. I wanted to place these guys(gals) under two 4' tubes, but I could only get one side working. I took apart the whole thing and everything is connected so some electrical component must be broke. Oh well, was a free-bee. Lights are 6 inches away.

Nice man thanks for the pictures.

You should be goon on light for now, but I think you already know, your gonna need much more if all those sprout. I have eight 42 watt CFL's on my lady and she is growing out of control, I have to move the lights up daily (I keep them pretty close as well). Its all about keep those CFL's as close as you can without burning them.

Oh man! I been meaning to do this post all day, but I've been trainWRECKED!

This is some of the best stuff I've smoked.

Bubbler

Then it all gets smoked and it is almost gone and then it goes

Thank god for friends who share

Okay...back to the grow.

This was in the morning.

It started with only two being popped from the soil, but with every hour to come for the rest of the day another pokes on up. The first ones up are the Bubble Gum and they didn't have any more tap root then the BB or TS.
I randomly planted it, but the first one was BG1 followed by BG2

BB1 shows first

I have a dozen of these now and it is amazing to watch them grow so fast thanks to a digital camera!

So the current results are:
5/5 BG
2/5 TS
5/7 BB
2/5 NL

I switched to the cup method for a night with distilled water and that is where NL2 came from, but no others have tap roots worthy of being ready. I'll probably just put them in soil tomorrow anyway.

And the fun begins! The Bubble Gum and Big Bud are doing good and the Thai Stick is alright. I've dug a little bit into the cups to check and I have one Northern Light almost ready to poke up. I'm only at a 50% sprout rate which is a little disappointing, but all I need is one female of each

I moved the cups without any sprouts away from the light because I'm sure it's drying out the soil a little bit. I thought it was a good idea at first to keep the soil warm. I'm just using a spray bottle mists about three times a day for watering with still a drop of super thrive. I'm really curious to see how long they'll last in a soil-less medium!

I'm going to be growing in a closet or small room so there aren't going to be many constraints. I'm sure I'll still have to do some ducting with a 600W lamp and I'm going build a Carbon Scrubber for exhaust.

Anyone got any advice towards how soon I should transplant into Ocean Forrest and when will they be ready for the HPS?

looking good bro keep it up...im a newb but i would recommend to wait until you start flowering to use the hps but if you don't have a mh bulb then u might wanna use the hps the whole grow??idk for sure but thats my two cents i would rather use a hps then cfls for the veg but thats just me..hopefully i helped you out bro wait until they take off i can't wait to see those beautiful strains grow up into mad powerhouses...peace bro

Haha! Well I got all kinds of pics. They are working on their second set of leaves. I had just been misting them heavily like 3-5 times a day, but they each got about 12oz ran through them last night. Light warrior really did a good job and I don't think it left many dry spots. I had a bag seed plant that when I pulled out of the pot because it was so small and the roots had gone to the bottom of the cup. I was kind of thinking that I may be tricking their roots to go more upwards, but all I think I may have done is slow them done! I've looked at a lot of other peoples pics and some of their's are at the stage of mine in half the time. I am still pretty happy with them and I don't think it is much to complain about, but I am curious.

I know I'll be adding more lights soon. I don't know If I should build another power strip light setup with 6 23ws...or 1 dual 4' tube setup and then add another set down the road. I think it is best that I wait for some of them to catch up before unleashing the 600W HPS. I still have 1 for NL and 1 more TS that are working their ways up towards the surface.

Some quick questions...

My seeds where very small.. does this mean that they don't have much energy stored in them? I know you don't nute seedlings normally, but will 1/16 of a dose help? I've been using a few drops of Super Thrive still, but maybe I'll try upping a dose on one of them, and removing it from another..and then leave one as is for BG and BB.

I've been doing a lot of research into 18/6 vs 24/0 a starting at about the 2nd week. They'll soon be on the HPS so do you really think they need time off? If it is the same I may just want to keep them on constantly.

Anyway! Here are my plants!

Oldest from sprouting out of the soil is 9 days and some young as 5-6 days.

1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18

1-5) BG
6-7) NL
8-11) BG
12-15)
16) Had lots of rain and high humidity the past 5 days..this is about as dry as it gets
17) stem shot - keeping the fan always on them so they bouncing around
1

added one 23w soft spectrum and one mini compact cfl I "borrowed" from a lamp.

I'm a little

right now so I might have mis matched a few strains in the pics, but so far the plants with the bigger seeds are fairing better.
