Well FUCK! My plants were looking big and glorious (sorry no pictures), but my house got RAIDED (illegally)! They hit me with Possession of Drug making Equipment (2nd degree felony), possession of firearms around controlled substances (3rd degree felony), and 2 misdemeanors for paraphernalia...

Sounds like a good plan. When I transplanted my sprouts that were in soil to my grow rocks, I just VERY GENTLY dug around the sprout and took it out. Then I gently removed some of the excess soil, and then put it in the grow rocks and covered up the sides. I left some soil so that way it was...

Thanks for that info JigFresh. I am using the FLORO series nutrients and am using the suggested dose for seedlings (about 1/4 normal dose). But I diluted my water a bit just in case. I was worried about how big the leaves are getting on the short plant for how short the stem is. I think it...

Thanks for all the info, I am just not gong to worry about it for now. I actually took a look at the babies this morning and I see a tad bit more stem development so I am happy. And its been about a week and a few days since they sprouted.

Should I be concerned that one of my plants has almost no vertical growth compared to the other plant? I have 2 little plants and 1 is growing vertically while the other is just growing its leaves bigger with virtually no vertical growth (see Pics). I am using a DWC hydroponics, and the...

Ooo thats a tough one. You can cause the root that stems from the seed to rot if there is too much water. So it is possible that they are dead, but I would try to keep it moist/damp; shake out theexcess water of any (Don't squeeze it, that would colapse some of the trapped air). If you can't...

Interesting... I'll have to look into that. That is the only area that I am concerned about, is heat, so I am willing to do anything to help!

Plants look healthy. There is definitely more growth, on both plants the second leaves that came in are now bigger than the first pair. I was wondering, does anyone know if nutes change PH at all?

PPM = parts per million... its a unit of measurement. Used for C02 as well. You can buy C02 meters that measure the PPM in the air. You want to have typically a c02 content of about 1200-1500 PPM.

Yea thats what I think is wrong, I think the CFL lights I got have cheap ballasts. They output much more heat that I anticipated. I just need to find some good VEG CFLs that are 55 (actual) watt or higher, or make due with what I have until I get my flowering lights (found some 65 actual watt...

Sorry S.Mass.P, I just saw that you asked me earlier about germinating the seeds. Well since I screwed up and had to do it again, I've germinated them two ways (both with success). The first time I did it, I just soaked two cubes of rockwool into some 5.75 - 5.8 PH water. After wards I let...

Okay I think I figured out the image thing. I was using the "insert image" button instead of attaching the photos, but I prefer attaching. This way people can click on the images they want bigger, and HOPEFULLY they'll actually show up. Thanks Roseman for the post, I following it. I am not...

Okay, so I am now attaching the photos instead of using the "insert image" button. Hopefully that will allow ya'll to see pictures. Yesterday I removed the soil so now its just the plant and the nutes. I am afraid I maybe did this prematurely, but I saw that my roots are starting to grow...

Thanks for looking and checking in on the status! I started a journal were I summarized the things that have happened so far and put the pictures that went with them up. So you can check out the journal here https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/165197-first-indoor-dwc-hydro-grow.html I hope...

DAY 10 Ugh! Sprouts dead, but I planted 2 more BB germinated seeds into some soil. Ran outta rockwool :-( They sprung up somewhat quick and I transplanted them to the DWC. It sucks that I am a week or so behind because I screwed up with the first sprouts. The temp for the most part is...
