Hello everyone, this is my first journal and first grow! I'm ever so excited and cannot wait to begin this new journey. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my progress, along with advice given! Grow on!
--------------------------------------------------
Area: 4x4 Jardin grow tent
Airflow: 1x Intake Fan with a common house filter screened on it.
1x Exhaust fan with a carbon filter screened on it.
Plant Types: 5x White Widow seeds (Nirvana seeds) from Attitude.
5x AK-48 seeds (Nirvana seeds) from Attitude.
1x Blue Northern Lights (UFO freebie) from Attitude.
1x Diavolo II (UFO freebie) from Attitude.
The following diagram is to illustrate where/which seeds are in the cloning tray. (ww= whitewidow, ak=ak)
[ww1][ww2][ww3][ww4][ww5]

There is either something in the rockwool, or i have weird mites in it? Doesn't seem to be moving, nor are they all over my plants. There is actually only 2/12 with one of these black specks on them, and it was probably just attached as it sprouted through the rockwool?
I pulled the seed off after 3 days of it being stuck. Not sure if this is ok, I'm sure nature would have taken it's course, but I wanted to do a little experiment....(below)
I think this was the taproot growing up..and it decided that was the wrong way so maybe its going down...not sure...this is another experiment LOL.(below)
This is [AK2], looking like the best of the batch still.(below)
I just looked into a organic pesticide created with tobacco, garlic, onions, denatured alcohol are just some of the ingredients. I may make this and use it to remove these mites if they are. Still shooting for it being debris in the rockwool or water.
UNTIL NEXT TIME///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
There is white shit on the rockwool!!! noooooo! I think this is due to being over-humid in the cloning dome and not having the rockwool covered. I'm created a cover method for it as we speak and im going to water the cubes in a weak solution of H2O2 after scraping the white stuff off.
IT ONLY AFFECTED 2/12 rockwool cubes? Is this mold? mildew? calcium deposit from the water or THRIVE ALIVE RED B1 that is in the water?
Temp has been between 80-83 degrees with 30% humidity inside the dome.
In the picture above, the closest plant is the Northern Lights Blue, the 2 above it are AK48. Northern lights looks a little droopy
Diavolo--> White Widow-->
1 leaf of the new set got stunted or something?-->
Northern Lights looks a lil yellow in middle, but not too bad-->
Any input on this yellowing? I am feeding them a vegging mix that can be seen here: http://www.technaflora.com/sharedfil...n2009RFS_3.pdf
I also cut this nutrient mixture in half for the first week. This is my first grow, trial and error

*** Day 1 ***
Placed seeds in moist paper towl.
*** Day 2 ***
Few started to open
*** Day 3 ***
Most / all seeds were ready to be planted in a medium. I chose rockwool. (presoaked in ph5.2 water)*** Day 4 ***
AK2 pushed up and first seed leaves are opened. WW2 is sprouted but it looks like the taproot going into the air, strange, we'll see how this progresses. NO PICS TODAY.*** Day 5 ***
WW2 still looks strange today, will take a picture tomorrow. Ak2 AK4, WW4 are sprouted! Northern lights also is coming up! *** Day 6 ***

*** Day 9 ***
The mold from the previous post was unknown...i think just water crystals forming from me letting it dryout and stay under the light. I scraped them off, watered with some h2o2 water. The seedlings have been up for a couple days and today I decided to start preparing a Rubbermaid tote to do a 4-site bubbleponics setup. Not sure when a good time for seedlings to go into water is...or how high the water needs to be when transplanting rockwool into hydroton for this setup?
*** Day 10 ***
Today I transplanted the rockwool cubes into the bubbleponics setup with a hydroton medium. I flushed the hydroton a day before by soaking it for 24 hours in a ph5 water / small part bleach, rinsed them, and used. The 2 soil plastic cups are White widow (top) and Diavolo (bottum) in Black Gold's Orchid Mix. Not sure if the plants can feed off this soil or not, and when they're going to need nutrients lol. Here is a look at their new home:In the picture above, the closest plant is the Northern Lights Blue, the 2 above it are AK48. Northern lights looks a little droopy
Diavolo--> White Widow-->
*** Day 12 ***
It is day 12 and the transition to their hydro environments seem to be ok. Day 11 I began a 18/6 hours light schedule. Temperatures are at 75f in the day, 68f at night when the light is off. I noticed some yellow growth this morning on mainly the plants in the smaller reservoir. I checked PH in both tubs at it was at 6.8-6.9 in both of them for some reason, it has been lowered back down to 5.9-6.11 leaf of the new set got stunted or something?-->
