Blacksheep's 1st Batch!

OK, First time indoor grower. Been reading on here for 2 weeks. Here is my setup so far.

Made a vacation watering system(had to leave for 6 days right after germination).

I switched out the flors on the bench to Plant ones. They have a more blue tent to them. One small fan blowing 24/0 like the light.

I have a 400HPS that I am currently installing in my flower room. Will be putting up sheet rock to enclose them and paint it a matte finish white color. WIll post of progress pics once I start building it.

If anyone wants to give advice or recommend something, please do.

1. March 26th, seeds are placed in wet paper towel, and placed into ziplock bag.

2. March 29th, Germinating seeds are place into soil pots under Floro for 24/0 hours a day.

3. March 31st, stems start to appear.

4. April 1st, Auto time drip system created and tested for 2 days before Vacation

5. April 3rd, off on vacation fro 6 days.

6. April 8th returned and all plants are thriving but one. 1/16 not too bad. Thats a 94% chance of survival on a watering system that was poorly put together in an hour.

Here are the pics from start to today.

hey how did you do the watering system?

ive been wanting to make and auto watering system how did you do it?

good job blacksheep i was hoping urs would work for ya but has it been 6 days check out my progress

good shot blacksheep,thats pretty cool.

Well, Actually 100% stayed alive. The one I thought was not going to make it, made it. It pop some green leaf today. Signs of life. So the watering system is 100% proof.

All I did was get the smallest Fountain/Pond pump (40 gallons an hour). I wanted to make sure it had enough pump to at least pump about 2-3 oz of water per pot. I had 16 pots. Next on my list I bought 50 feet of 1/4'' hose. Then about 8 T fittings to split to all the plants. Then Added pressure restricting drippers that would slow the drip down to I think 1 gallon and hour. So with all 16 going, it pump just enough water for 1 minute on the pump for all 16 plants.

Then I bought a Digital Timer and plugged it and and set it to water every day at 5AM.

Came home 6 days later, and it was perfect. All plants are thriving.

Here's an update. Move setup off the bench and onto the floor where I will be building the new Grow Room. Here is what the room area will look like. And an update pic of the growth of my babies.

Your off to a good start. nice healthy seedlings. just be sure to keep them moist

You know what, from all the over watering post I have read on here, I thought they needed more water too. So I watered till they drained, which i was not doing. Do this every 3-4 days, no wonder i was like but at the watering rate I am watering at, they dry up every day. HEHE.

yea fill em till they drain just let em drain out before u leave em

OK guys, have a little update. Some plants are growing faster then others, some plants look better then others.

Some of these plants look very funky. I mean, its like a challenge plant, all retarted looking. Could there be something I am doing wrong? I feed them nothing but Distilled water. No nutes or HPS light. 24/0 floro. Watering ever 2-3 days with fan on low. Light is touching some plants, others 1-2 inches away.

Have a look at all the pics. The funky ones are just funny to look at, especially after some purple Kush! Feedback Needed!!!!!!!!!

My guess has to be the lights, I want to put in the HPS, but have not started my grow room build. I have 2 of these running on them.

Natural Light Supplement Products

Not sure what the color spectrum is, but this has to be my problem. I have been looking at other peoples Grow Journals, and every ones plants are always ahead of mine in growth in same light conditions and in soil.. WFT?

Max Temps from start are 80, low is 55. Humidity High 80 low 40. Any reason to slow things down and make funk?

thats kind of a big drop in temps and humidity, you might need to keep the temps and humidity at a more stable range.
