nothing major today no seeds cracked yet, looks like those jiffy pucks are doing pretty good so far, and overall i think having a little something in there with the perlite is good, and they look perkier than there counterparts in rocwool, my seedlings always start off looking overwatered I have always suspected this was due to the rocwool and probably more so now due to the small size containers I am using so I am letting those dry out for a day or so before watering again.... also my plants are so short I think with this type of grow method, especially in the small containers I have to encourage some stretch so remove the shelf..we will see if this works, also helps keeps the temps under control, I keep playing with the lighting to ftry and find the combo that seems right too me, that ws why i love cfls i can change spectrum and wattage in an instant  ... currently I am running 4x26w 6500k and 2x42w2700k... so 188 watts in about 2qft 90w per sq ft from what i read is good who knows if these numbers mean anything lol and about 12k lumen my temps seem good i have a good color mix the temps are good, so i think this is it......ok i am high and rambling...if you guys have questions or comments feel free to post away  |

finally got my box and all finished....i attached a few pics of the whole setup...you will see the ducting coming out of the back of the grow box that goes into the side of a rubbermaid bin ( there is a filter on the end of the tube) attached to a fan inside the rubbermaid...inside is where freshly harvested buds wull be dried, the temp is a steady 80 until lights off then down to about 75....there is a makeshift carbon filter on the other end, and a pc fan pulling all the fresh (hopefully odor free) air out...the intake end of the rubber maid has 2 passive intakes also filtered so fresh air is suck in along with the warm air from the grow box...there is a very nice cross breeze in the box and i get a good vacum seal when I close the lid ... as always toughts and suggestions are welcome... |

Update? I am trying the same thing with some chronic seed  well i started flowering like... a week in so it was a few inches tall already. Probably like 3. I need to tie it up i think, having some teeter tottering issues and its stretched just a tad because i can't adjust the lighting as I have other bushier, taller plants needing it ;p |

Did some in 8oz cups for veging and those plants surprised me on how full and big they got before transplanting. Plants were about 10in or more before transplant. After transplant I felt I could of got away with budding in 8oz cups. |

You will be fine budding in those cups. I made the mistake switching mine to 32oz cups.  |

of the first 5 seeds I started (the week of 6-23), thats how I am keeping track..I have 3 remaining, 2 females confirmed and 1 unknown, I dont think its coincidence that the one I topped is taking longer to show sex...as I already reported one of the original 5 was a hermi and one was a male..... I plucked 2 seedlings today one from the week on 7-7 and another from 7-14, one just stoped growing, the other only sprouted the coleydon leaves nothing else  not sure what would have cuased either situation its the first time I have seen it, new seeds will be started to fill in the spots....I think I am going to go with the peat pelletsd no more rocwool the seedlings in the pellets look so much healthier than the ones in the rocwool, they are also larger and growing faster....I am experimenting with how to use the pellets I have some with the net on just like the instructions some with the net off and some I took the net off and smashed them up and made a layer about 1.5 inches deep in the cup... we will see what works best.... anyway a few pics of the 3 remaining from the original 5  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
