So I have been looking into the SH bubble ponics and currently trying to decide if i want to buy it. Im conviced except for the fact of growing space.

I was thinking about growing in one of my buildings outside, but its winter here and about 30 degrees outside, and its probably about the same temp in the buildings.

I was wondering if there was a way that I could grow in there without killing my plants. I already have the seeds, white widow from attitude seeds.

I was going to go with the SH complete kit w/ dual spec II if i decided to purchase the system

You'll need a heater and it would be good to have an environmental controller - one with plugs for a heater and a cooler with a thermostat that you set to turn on the heat when it dips below a certain temp. I really like the C.A.P. systems (custom automated products)

Well I started my grow FINALLY, but I think I may have problems or im just being impatient, maybe both lol.
Anyways so Wed. 13th I put my seeds in a cup with water and let them sit in a cabinet for 24 hours. Also put my rockwool in ph corrected water to sit for 24hrs also. I then on the 14th with clean tweasers and clean hands put my seeds into the rock wool and placed them in my bubbleponics system. Today being the 15th and over 24+ more hours being put in rockwool there still is no sprout.? Is it too early? My rockwool is still damp and all the feeder tubes seem to be workin properly, maybe I'm just rushing things. How long does it usually take to see seeds sprout.

Recap
1. 24hrs of germ in cup, and 24hrs of being in rockwool in the system. No sprout, is that normal.
2. How long till I see a sprout or should I already see one?

Thanks
Stay Green,
Tdogg

or even possibly use a grow tent, but im looking for the cheapest route lol
I would go with the grow tent, nice and easy to set up, easy to control temps and if you get one with the mylar type reflective material you should get the best results.

..... sorry I cant help you with the seeds tho.

Depending on seed, age, strain, etc I've have had it take a week or more to have a sprout. They will come up! Maybe when you wake up in the morning they will surprise you.

I am a rookie here but my winter grow has been going great. The air temp around my plants at night drops to low 40's even though my strand is very resilient I belive their survival is accredited to the fish tank heater I put in the . It keeps the temp at 72 deg. I belive as long as the roots are warm the plant can survive. Maybe this could help your situation.
