Bagseed Grow #1

This is my first grow ever. i am using bagseed only because i dont want to spend 100 for some good seeds and then them die cause of my inexperience. my veg room has 2 3 x 3 ebb and flow tables with 2 400 mh lights. i also will be using 1, 4 bulb t5 floro with mix bulbs for the seedlings and clones. the flower room is the other half of this room and i haven't constructed it yet.
I am already 1 week into it so more pics and detalis to come nut here is my setup for vegative growth. i am still under construction with the setup

bagseed can produce some chronic, and you can pollinate a nice female and dank male to make your own strain

i started germinating 5 seeds in a cup of water. i put the cup in a cabinet above the oven but at three days and no sprouts i decided to try another route. i then tried the paper towel method with the same seeds and after 1 day 1 sprouted and another the next. the rest didnt so i scraped them. i planted the 2 in 1 inch rockwool cubes and put them in a humidity dome until they sprouted then put them into 4 inch cubes and under the floros. i originally started with 1/4 strength but after 5 days and some advice from a fellow member i went back to just water. here are the pics from day 5 at 1/4 strength. the ph is all over the map but i am trying my hardest to keep it inbetween 5.5-6.5.

here are the pics from day 6. i took out all the nutes and i am only watering 2x daily when the lights are on with just water. my ph is still very hard to get where i want it and the ppm of my tap water is 184. my temps are around 70-73 with humidity at around 50%. i keep my lights about 4-5 inches from the tops of the plants

Day 7 pics. no problems in the last 24 hours. any suggestions or inputs are welcomed

Pics of day 8. humidity went down to 48% but everything else is fine.

Here are my pics from day 9. the temp was at 77 and the humindity was 46% when i checked on them this morning. i am going to give it a few more days then bring the nutes back in at 1/4 strength. my oh was at 6.4 this morning. i put more ph down in it but i am doing that everyday and the next day its back in the mid 6's. trial and error i guess

Pics of day 10. if you look at the 4th picture it appears that the lower leaves are turing a yellow color and possibly dying. the other plant does not show any of these same symptoms but i will continue to monitor closely

I like your setup. Very nice and clean. Good luck growing - the babies look good so far.

Maybe bring the lights down a little bit closer - as long as your not burning the plants, the closer the better. To test this, just run your hand under the light, if you can keep your hand there comfortably, you have the right distance.

woow awesome grow room very clean and smooth.

cant wait for this journal.

There aren't any nutes in rockwool; you have to give it to them as soon as you see leaves. Last time i started seeds, I had them on 500ppm before they broke through. Only reason to not give em nutes right away is because there are already nutes in the soil..... but your in rockwool.... you see?

I guess you removed the plastic from those cubes? Rockwool in E&F is gonna get way crusty my fiend. You should cover the cubes with somethi8ng to block the light. Even still you'll get salt buildup on the top after some time of feeding.

If it were me I'd veg em big enough to get a lot of cuts and then plant like 25 or 36 clones in a bed of lava rock or clay pellets. Pick your best 2 cuts of each female and keep separated. Redundancy is your friend.

That's all I got for now. Keep it green.

Day 11.. i cleaned out my system and added 1/4 strength GH Nutes and placed the kids under a 400 MH light at 12 away. EC is at .5, PPM is at 210 with ph of 6.3, temps are 72 with humidity around 50%.

update 12 hours after previous post and after a watering, it appears i have been watering too much. my humidity also went down to 40%. they look so sad

Day 12... the droopiness from earlier had to be from overwartering because they are already perking back up. i am watching my watering now very closely and im only going to water when my plants need it for now. rockwool is kind of a pain in my behind but trial and error will make me a pro. im sure of it. humidity was at 36% with the lights off but shot up when i was using the pressure cooker in the kitchen to 62%

Day 13... i believe my plants are healing well from the overwatering. i have yet to water since the droopiness and the rockwool cubes are still a bit wet. i may let them have some water in the morning if they get any dryer.

Day 14.. these 2 little plants are stressing me out big time. the 4 inch rockwol cubes were pretty dry and the plants looked healthy again so i watered them for like 3 minutes this morning and they got all droopy again but when i took these pics ( 5 minutes ago) they seem fine now. im confused but i am going to continue to water when the cubes are on the drier side

I spy a modified coolmist and an ultrasonic... What tek did you use for that?

what do you mean by tek. i copied from a grow guide from another forum.
Shroomery - Automated Greenhouse Guide...By Helltick.

You must not have explored that site much. It's like the recipe you used to carry out the grow. Everyone on there has their own "tek"
