A couple pictures taken this night. the one seed that has sprouted, the taproot was coming up out of the rockwool. I had to pick the seed out with the tweasers and place it root down and now the first two leaves are just trying to open

Got a couple of new CFLs. I now have 4 6500k 1600 lumen bulbs and 3 2700k 1600 lumen bulbs. To make an enegery effecient 11200 lumens. Dual Spectrum lets hope its enough. Can always get more, thats the great think about cfls.

It is the second day and still nothing from the other seeds i had ordered more from marijuanaseedscanada.com 2and a half weeks ago and still nothing.

So after posting last i got fed up and researched seeds in my area. I found a shop that sells seeds only 15 minutes from my house. this shop sold seeds from a breeder named Ricky Seeds. rickyseeds.com. this guy buys differet seeds from the big companies like dutch passion and GSC. and breeds them. I got a 10 pack Kiwi Cheese it cost 100 CDN. and 15 minutes WOW. this strain is a cross between Big Buddha Cheese and Kiwi.

Germinating 5 of the seeds between two plates with moisten paper towels and placed under the lights for warmth sound about right????

 

[doctorD]

Thats great good luck

 

[adam66]

got home today no sprouts yet

 

[adam66]

4 out of the five seeds from rickyseeds.com have sprouted within 2 days of germinating. i placed the 4 seeds into the rock wool cubes in the bubbleponic setup. i placed the Styrofoam circles i cut out over them and lowered my lights right down on to them to try to keep them nice and warm while sprouting. Any suggestions????

 

[doctorD]

Keep doing what you are and no food for a week or so and then very weak strength

 

[adam66]

Ok should i remove the strofoam covers when they come out of the wool or should i let the light shine on the wool with the sprouting seeds inside?

I leave the covers until I have a canopy of leaves covering them, blocking the light from hitting the cube and rocks.

 

[adam66]

Al four of the seeds that cracked have popped above the wool this morning and by 3 pm have th first two leaves, plus the first two real leaves and are just over 1" tall and all at the same height within 1/4". I have cut in half watterbottles on top of them with holes cut in just to keep some humidity out and keep some of the slight amount of bulb heat off them
Ill post pics when camera charges

 

[doctorD]

The bottles will hold humidity in. As well as heat. They are mini green houses. you may want to ditch the bottles and get a far to start moving some air around.

 

[adam66]

When do the nutes start and how can i monitor them with only a ph kit i kinda wana avoide a ppm metere

 

[doctorD]

You cant really. You need to get a ppm pen. You can get them for around 30-40 bucks.
