Really depends on your environment...temps and humidity. No easy answer but usually 3 days to 9 days. There is a ton of great information on the Harvesting and Curing thread.

Chapter 3 Update
Day 11
98 out of the 100 seeds germinated and are alive.
40 out of the 98 are successfully in the apparatus with the other 58 still being nursed along until their tap roots are long enough to be transferred.
The seedlings that have yet to be transferred originally were sitting on perlite...then they sat on hydroton and now they are sitting in baskets so their roots are completely submerged. I underestimated the importance of this step...things are going quicker now and I'm hopeful that all of them will be ready to move within a week. I'm running the water at 1/4 strength of my week #1 schedule and changing the water every 2 days.
In the apparatus, I'm running the nutes at 50% strength of Week #1 which comes out to 300 PPM.
The chiller is working great. Water temps fluctuate between 67.5 degrees and 68.5 degrees.
I just did my 3rd water change and plan on changing every 5 to 7 days...will not go beyond 7 days.
Temps in the room are 73 with lights on and 68 with lights off...pretty perfect really.
My reservoir is a 27 gallon tote and I'm oxygenating it in 3 ways.
1) Small amount from when the water returns from the apparatus.
2) A 40 gallon air pump with air stone.
3) A 396 GPH water pump with a venturi adapter so it pulls air in. This is working fantastic as it pulls a ton of air in and provides very aggressive agitation.

You know I did think about it but ultimately I just decided that since they will consume all of the space, that a reflective material on the outside just wouldnt have much value. It certainly would until they are close to entering the stretch...I guess I just kind of figure its not that important. I'm all ears tho if you or anyone else wants to change my mind...haha.Looking awesome bro did you ever think of making a wall to isolate that area with white wall or mylar to bounce all the light ... ? might make temp control easier might not just throwing it out thereapart from that doing awesome

Man bro this is some awesome fuckin shit right here. Truly a great setup would love to just see it in person. You really killed it bro. I'm gonna be so glued to this its not even funny. Keep up the great work man

Also don't know how much light your losing by not having a reflective surface around them but I'm sure that would make them grow better with light surrounding every direction but like Nerd said could mess with temps too depending on how inclosed the material used around it but I think it would def help

Thanks homey...I hope it works. I've never done anything like this and there is little margin for error.

If you guys think it's worth it then I'll try and figure something out.

Chapter 3 Update
Day 15
Things are going pretty well. I'm encountering a few minor root issues that I'll need to show you guys and get some feedback on.
I'm using Dutch Master Gold Zone as my only non-nutrient additive and I'm hopeful it's as good as everyone says.
Finally got my BlueLab Guardian up and running and this thing is pretty cool. Gives me PPM/EC, Temp and PH all in one nice digital read out.
32 seedlings remaining so 66 of them are in the octagon and doing well.
I've ordered some of the really big reflectix and will be putting up reflective material as several of you suggested.
I just switched the rez water which is why the temp is a little colder. Rez temps are being managed perfectly by the chiller. Maintaining 68 degrees.

Haha...thanks. I havent even taken detailed shots of the other things I've built that was intending on using. Put a lot of time and effort into those.
Will be getting another update in a day or two. Will be replacing my 600W setup with 1000W. The contraption is just a tad too big for a 600 I feel. More info coming soon.

Also have a brand new and super simple design that I'll be bringing online within a week. Making room for more lights and more plants in my space. Hope to get everyone's feedback and opinions!
