I finally got a grow going after years of lurking. I've been lurking since OverGrow and have had the equipment for years-- just always lived in the wrong place or had a job that consumed my entire life. But anyway, circumstances have brought me here with the following:
I purchased a bunch of feminized seeds and got a bunch of freebies. Fist in the rapid rooters were RD Dank Commander, RD Ghost Train Haze #1, Sweet Seeds Green Poison, C99, CH9 Luther Dogman, Auto Seed Chemdog. Neither of the Rare Dankness seeds popped. Luther Dogman and Green Poison going strong. C99 got a bit long and spindly and is having a hard time supporting itself and is a bit of the slow side to grow new leaves. Luther Dogman got a bit long too but seems to be doing OK. Ms Dogman's leaves are a bit fucked up because I planted the seeds upside-down and she had half a seed stuck to her when I peaked in the Rapid Rooter crack to see why she wasn't popping...
I started them out rough with high temps and high PH well-water but got distilled and corrected PH later and got my meters in the mail. They started under a CFL but put them under a 400w MH as soon as I removed the dome.You'll notice they have roommates-- pepper, cucumber, and rapini. Once the roots were coming out the bottom I transferred to Rockwool cubes that were soaked at 5.5ph with 1.4ec nutes. I transferred the cucumber directly into a net pot with hydroton and have been feeding him ~30ml 1.4 solution @5.5ph here and there since he doesn't have the rockwool to keep him moist until his roots make it below the net pot.
Roots are coming out the sides of the rapid rooters already so I better get my microbe tea brewing TONIGHT! Should have gotten it going sooner but I had to wait for some supplies to arrive in the mail. I also have a Lactobaccilus Serum growing which I plan on using as a supplement as well. I would like to get all of these HOPEFULLY fully female girls into a mother room as long as they dont go gender fluid on me then I'm not sure which bathroom they'll end up in. The auto of course will go right into the flower room under a 1000w HPS whose CoolTube should be arrive shortly! After beefing up the mamasitas I want to cut clones and flower one strain at a time SOG-style in the flower chamber... I figure my autos will be well out of there by then.
No ventilation in my basement right now beyond an oscillating fan. I have the light nice and close and have been maintaining 73-75 daytime and 66-68 night time temps with ~50-60 Relative Humidity 16 hours on 8 off.
Let me know what you guys think and throw me any tips!
