Day 6 -
Lowered the water down to a trickle over the Hydroton instead of a stream on the rockwool last night as I was afraid the roots will get over watered. all seedlings showing first set of true leaves now.

Day 7 since dropping the seeds in water,
Day 4 seedlings

Got a new container and switched everything out.



Hid the white water pump hose underneath the lid to block out light/aesthetic reasons.


20 gallons Tap Water with 5 gallons of R/O water -
PPM is at 170 @ .5
PH was at 7.5 this morning, lowered it back down. It's now 5.7
No nutes yet.

Day 8, 10-17-2014
Day 5 from sprout

Added a tiny bit of PH Down since the res PH was at 6.5, is it normal for the PH to keep going up everyday? I keep lowering it and the next day I find that it's back up again.

Added rolled towel for humidity, and temporary foil cover to prevent light from going through

Leaves are getting bigger but may be yellowing a bit? I'm guessing this is from stress from moving it around too often.


I felt the rubber hose today and it felt a bit slimey/slippery.... is this normal? I'm going to guess that's algae trying to grow so I put the foil over the hydroton to ensure no light gets through. If anybody knows the culprit feel free to chime in.

Day 11 from seed - 10/20/2014
Day 8 since sprout

Here are the 5 ladies, the last one is a runt and barely growing the second set of leaves



Going to wait until the runt gets it's act together and fully grow the second set of leaves then I'll start adding nutes.

I'll be posting current picture soon, I accidentally gave them nute burn and broke one of the root, but hopefully it'll recover and come back strong!
