Well its time for the newest grow of mine. I Just put the seeds in a wet paper towel and in a tubberware figure they'll sprout in the next day or so.

So heres the low down of the grow
Room: 5.5Hx4WX6L and covered with black and white poly (aka Pandafilm)
This picture is with the current grow will end up cleaning the whole room and putting down b/w poly on the floor

Lights are 2 400 watt HPS (with MH conversion bulb)(also considering getting a 600 to put in the middle we'll see though)

Seeds: Nirvana Afghan and KC Sweet Dreams and a slew of mixed bag seeds - Plan is to grow out the 2 "name brands" and the bag seed will be SOG style

Pots: Quart - for seedlings till about the 2/3 mark in Veg. Then transplanting them into the 1 gallon pot. Then final transplant (right before I switch them to flower) 5 gallon

Medium: Fox Farm Light Warrior (seedling till 2/3 weeks veg grow)

Fox Farm Happy Frog (2/3 Weeks Veg till end of flowering)

Nutrients: Nothing but Advanced Nutrients
Final Phase, Liquid Carboload, Micro, Bloom, Grow, B-52, VitaBoost pro, OverDrive, Sensizym, Voodoo Juice, Bud Blood and Big Bud (have Piranha and Tarantula on the way)

CO2 - Co2 Boost

Figure this would be a nice start till things start popping (literally)

Well first update. Today went and bought the Fox Farm soil (Light Warrior and Happy Frog) Got a slew of tomato sticks and just got to putting the first set of seeds in the paper towel method (got busy yesterday)

So some quick shots of the the Afghan (10) and Sweet Dreams (11) in the paper towel and then a slightly misted tuberware container which was placed in my nice warm sock draw

The bag seeds will get germed in about 2 weeks want the two name brands to get a nice head start to the others since they will be done in SOG still

5/10

Watered all the plants now that I can finally get them in a cycle for watering

5/12

Nothing much has been going on in the room besides all the growing woot haha

Friend I went to see wanted to ball tease me so she only gave me 2 of freaking White Shark seeds (she has like 15 of them and just being a jerk)
so 50/50 shot

And a few shots of the room filled with life. Will take better shots later today
I know theres a bit of streching going on but in like 2 days my new MH bulbs should be here - trust me its killing me seeing them reach up high but theose are all the bagseed ones so im not to worried since when I go and decide to transplant them to 1 gallon pots they'll be buried a lil further down to compensate for that extra growth

Oh yea also I have 2 mutants 2 plants sprouted from one seed. Ill take close pics later of them but its kinda nuts to see you can see one of them in the pics below to see what im talking about (last pic second row up)

Last grow i started off with 50 but ended up with only 15 in the end tons of males or females that were just weak and pathetic and i didnt want it to waste my time with weaklings.

Im pretty sure ill be able to handle the load...but I guess we shall see what will happen when that time comes
