OK - so it's been suggested that I start a grow journal in order to keep track of do's an don'ts. Here go's...

I purchased the PC Grow Box from Homegrown-Hydroponics.com and I will say that I wouldn't recommend this website to anyone. After some of my own modifications I felt the box was ready. There's about 10' of vertical growth, but 17' of sideways. I plan to use LST method to utilize the horizontal grow.

I purchased 5 feminized Snow White seeds from Nirvana...so this is the order of events:

Aug 1 - placed 3 seeds (3 plant DWC system) in between damp paper towelon top of a dinner plate, placed a bowl on top of them, and placed them on top of my cable box. I have a small hygrometer/thermometer and the temp under the bowl was approx 85 F.

My first mistake (of many) was I didn't realize how quickly the towel would dry out. In order to keep the towel moist I had to sprintz them 3 times a day with distilled water.

zip loc bag wit a little hole in it works great i dont even have to check it until it germs about 24hours later.. cable box is a good heat source too.

Is stealth an issue bra?

It looks like an nice system but way too expensive.
Yea LST is the way to go when you have height issues bra. Is this your first grow?
did they give you bad service not to recommend cause i was thinkin about a bloom box from em.
Expect sum decent bud tho bra.

Aug 2 - one of the seeds sprouted a white root
Aug 3 - a second seed sprouted, right on track!

My second mistake was that I waited too long before putting the sprouted seeds in the rockwool. I waited becuase the 3rd seed had not yet sprouted and I wanted them to be all planted at the same time. So I waited until Aug 4 to put the 2 sprouted seeds in the rockwool. The tap roots were probably 1/2 inch long and dried out.

Another issue I had was due to the super small size of my kit. I received rockwool cubes and hydro rocks but no direction on how to use them - new grower here!
The two inch net pots I got were not large enough to accomodate the rockwool and/or the hydro rocks! I cut the rockwool down to a diameter that would fit in the net pots. Also, I'm assuming (still unclear) that it's important to have hydro rocks underneath the rockwool for root growth. In order to have hydro rocks in the bottom, rockwool on top with the seed, and the more hydro rocks on top of the rockwool I had to make the rockwool only 3/4" deep. Any thoughts on this?

Aug 4 - Time to plant. I bought a ppm meter which was imperative as I had no idea what the mixture should look like. I used a hydro veg formula and mixed to 250 ppm. I first soaked the rockwool in plain water as was suggested, I then let them dry off shortly in a paper towel and then let them soak in the mild nute mix. I squezzed them so they were not soaked and placed then in the net pots on to of 1" of hydro rocks. Comments are encouraged!!

You soaked in 5.5ph water right? cause reg rockwool kinda has a high ph. you kinda dont need nutes now bra until they sprout well i dont. they cant handle it yet.

Aug 4 continued - I placed the net pots with the hydro rocks and the rockwool in a small prop tray with about 1/2" of the mild nute mix. I placed the 2 sprouted seeds in the holes and covered the with a small, lose piece of rockwool so they would not be exposed to the light. My third seed still hasn't sprouted and I suspect that it won't.

Also, I filled a small spary bottle with the mild nute mix with the idea that I would just spray them when they appeard dry. It's been two day and they still seem very wet, even too wet! Is this because of the nute mix I left in the bottom of the tray? I made sure that it wasn't able to touch the rockwool, but the nutes were touching the hydro rocks.

Is the net pot filled with hydro rocks and rockwool acting like a wick and keeping my seeds too wet? Should or shouldn't there be nute at the bottome of the prop tray?

Yes - I checked ph as well

Hey Mane - Homegrown-Hydroponics sucks, customer service is one guy who really had no interest in talking to me. I received a broken light, spilled nutes, and missing items. When I called I was told it was my fault for not checking the package before UPS left. I would recommend Homegrown-Hydroponics to my worst enemy.

The Bloom Box, however, I believe is made by BC Northern Lights, which I here is a pretty reputable company

Oh i coulnt be you i'd be too pissed at him one person? damn he doesn't desrve to be in business then. Spilled nutes did you get new stuff from him. He shouldve taped dat tops of da nutes.
Bra i feel for you, he a fag n wont even get one dime from me.
By sprout i mean showin leaves n like 2 days after dat u should induce 1/4th strength nutes.

Aug 6 - Life!! One of me seeds has broken through the rockwool and there's a small sprout. The net pots are not in the DWC system yet they're in a prop tray with a zip lock bag over it with a bunch of air holes. The new sprout is about 3-4" away from the light. So out of 3 seeds one didn't germ (yet, been 5 days), and one I suspect I killed by waiting too long to plant them. But I have one sprout!!
