Sorry it took so long to get the pictures up, i was having trouble with photobucket.
 
The seeds still haven't done much. Going to be a bit angry if the seeds dont germ. $55 for 5 seeds is ridicules.

PS. I posted some pics.
 
Here's some more on the setup guys.

2-18 gallon tupperware resivoures
2-dule line air pumps, providing oxygen through a toatal of 4 12'' airstones.
2-small aquarium pumps for water circulation.

We cut holes to house 6" net pots, filled with a 50/50 perlite vermaculite mix.

For lighting we've taken surge protected power strips and attached 3 direct bulb to plug fixtures, and then we added a 2-way bulb splitter to each of those.

This allows each fixture(light strip) to house 6 bulbs, up to 42 watts each.
For The seedling stage we are using only 2 of the 4 strips, after the first 3-5 days, we'll hang the additional 2 strips. We will be using Shultz 10-15-10 hydropinc nutrients for the vegitative stage.

For Ventilation, SilverT and I have installed 2 bathroom fans into the cabinet, one housed on the top of the cab, for intake, the other housed inside the cab for extraction. We've attached a DIY carbon filter make of wire mesh and activated carbon home airfilters the the end of the extraction ducting as-well.
We'll be using a small clamp-on desk fan for plant buffing, as soon as the little guys are up.

Thats the basic outline of our equipment, any questions or input is very much appreciated.
 
Seed NEWS! All 4 of the white rhino seeds have popped. which is good, since none of the Arjan's SH have germed. If they fail to germinate, We'll just be using some bagseed.
 
wow, 2 completely different strains! one highly indica nice and short 8 weeker, one highly sativa tall 11 weeker!

best of luck!

Yes the white rhino is a 90/10 I/S And the Arjan's is 70/30 S/I, And though the white rhino is an "8 weeker" It actually goes through an dormant period of growth lasting a couple of weeks. Also the White Rhino gets super frosty when you let it flower an extra week or so. So we're expecting to harvest both strains at relatively the same time.

Thanks for the luck! :bigjoint:

I've been through both of your threads. I think I commented on the latest one. Your plants all look great this time around! It took balls to plant all those STRAINS!! Heres to havin em' not growing them. TO BALLS!!

BTW, having trouble germing the ASH, the rhino's popped right out, but the Strawberry... nothing. Good luck flowering those bad sisters.
 
GERMINATION!!!!! All of the white rhino seeds are peeping out of the ground. 2 of the strawberry haze have germinated. praying for the other 2. Maybe going to have access to some quality clones soon.
 
More news! We picked up a couple of aquarium heaters today.

We also bought 2, 150w hps lamps.

And, having trouble with low humidity, %25-%40, seedlings are moist but I would like to raise the humidity for this stage, any pro tips guys?
 
i never paid a massive amount of attention to humidity, i just misted them on a daily basis.

congrats on the germination! and on the hps!

Were not too worried about the humidity, misting was a first idea. Thanks for advising it. Also, I've read that while younger plants prefer a higher humidity, that flowering plants produce more resin in dryer conditions.

Anyways, thanks for the advise, as well as the luck. Stay in touch.:eyesmoke:
 
Good news! The HPS'es arrived today!
Also i checked the temps earlier. Outside the box is about 49 degrees in the morning with box at 75 degrees, the temp at noon is about 60 degrees outside the box and 82 inside the box.

We we're having problems with res temp, it was about 55 degrees. Me and Neb got some 100 watt heaters and the temp is at 70 degrees now.

Also the seedlings are starting to grow! i would take pics but the only camera i have is my shitty cell phone.
