I would defintely recommend changing the tap water. I have a filtered well at my house, so we can drink any water out of any spout. That water seems to work very well with my plants. Sometimes I just drink the water from the shower!!

drinking water in the shower is just weird

I was thinking that when i first read it but i wasnt gonna speak on it...
maybe someone needs to lay off the bowl for a few hours

I mean what if you've got soap on your face and swallow some soap accidently

I made a few changes to my stealth Rubbermaid boxes..as you can see I suspended 3 23w (1600 Lumens each) Fluoros from the top of the box using hooks, and there's another 23watter in the box still on a lamp

(which i havent gotten around to dismantling for the socket yet)

That makes a total of 4 23w CFL's and I got another one in my room somewhere..its only like a 13watter but it puts out about 860 Lumens that would bring the total to more than 7200Lumens in that little 2'x2.5' box...and I read you only need 2.5kLumens per sq ft during vegetative growth.

I cut out the back of the Rubbermaid box and screwed in a 4" fan there for intake ventilation, soon I will add some cpu fans to the lid for an exhaust.

Im so happy I finally put my Carpentry and Electrician degrees to use!!!

pic3 where I cut the box and screwed the fan in
pic4 pic of the group....or should I say groupies

Sorry for the crappy photos, but all i have is my camcorder to take pics with and when I upload them to my Cpu with Windows Movie Maker it degrades the quality...but Im downloading Ulead videostudio right now and as soon as it finishes I will replace these with the better quality photos..

Pic1 pic of Pumpkin aka Widget..she the smallest of the bunch, last to crack open, last to pop up from the soil...from what I hear, usually the ones that grow first and faster are males, the slower ones are females..I dunno why, maybe its bcuz of all the attention ppl give the fast growers, and they leave the smaller ones alone...I dunno, I try not to treat any of them more special than the others.

Pic2 pic of Hoopz..she was the second to last to crack open, second to last to pop up also

Pic3 another shot of Hoopz at a better angle ( I cant wait till the ulead videostudio finishes bcuz these pics are crappy!)

Pic4 This Beauty is New York, she's my second runner up..doin well as U can see

Pic5 Another shot of New York, Different angle

as U can see these ones are named after the Flavor of Love girls


is it wierd that I can hear them growing at night?..my box is right next to my bed

And now for my pride and joy

I named her "Misty" aka Sheena (sheena's my gf, she made me promise I'd name one after her, so the best looking one is named after my gf)

I don't think that drinking water in the shower is weird. . . . . . . . . . . The water gets in your mouth anyways and its the same water that comes out the sink.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ............ . . . . ..

Lookin good Spittn, glad to see you have gotten off the ground and are now growing them. (40 seeds and 3 bags of weed later) lol just playin.

WHO CARES ABOUT THE WATER IN THE SHOWER... not to be mean, but this isnt the thread to be talking about drinking water in the wherever, this is his grow journal, remember the rules you guys, be respectful...

SCEPTER

good to see you're getting somewhere. just to make sure, you are letting the water sit for 24hrs before you water, right? i agree with scepter, start a thread under toke n talk about the water drinking.

when you were doing the papertowel germin did you place the papertowels in a bowel or anything that could hold the water. if so thats why they stayed to wet put them on soil(the whole papertowel) or carpet and mist them with a sprayer so you dont do to much,and the water can slowly vaporate the poxygen getting to the plant is what makes it crck.

^^I used MG moisture control that entire journal above^^

see the results for yourself.

All i ever do is to soak the seeds overnight in ph'ed tap water,then late the next day wrap them in a very moist paper towel,then put the paper towel in a small tupperware tub & close it up & put the tupperware tub where i know its about 80 degrees,come back 24 hours later & see tails all over the place.

A huge sucess rate using this method.

hey i didnt mean anything by what i said if you got it to work for you that great
i just never could get to do anything more than a sprout
thats why i went organic

are you going to try to do clones again?

wow i just get a paper towel wet, ring it out, put seeds inside, and put under a tupperware dome, never has taken long then 3 days to germinate

Hey heres easy way get coffe filter and wet it and ring it ou so its damp fold it then put sed then fold again and then put in dvd case let aet for 2 days and ur good ive been doing it in my room and ita been 78 or lil lower and ive done 20 seeds and all sprouted 2 days or less
