Today is a very good day,1 of the 3 papaya seed I'm germinating has successfully opened...I'll give the others a day or two,once all three are hatched they will be making there way to my veg section under 8 6500k 1600 lumen bulbs where they'll become mother plants for cloning. I'm feeling pretty confident with my setup and grow but any input is appreciated.

I will post pics once seeds are potted and in veg room

Yea i got them from nirvana i also got the 5 feminized seeds. hopefully all your seeds pop like mine, i was 3/3 for the ones i planted im saving 2 for later use.

So i planted all 3 seeds that just finished germinating and theyre all gettin cozy in my veg room as we speak. Hopefully we will see some life in a day or two, ill post pics once these babies show their faces.

They wont be popping. I started the germ process on aug 18th. there duds. they were tiny puny little worthless seeds anyways. As long as the one that I have continues to grow, im gonna clone the shit out of her.

yea i know im doing that on purpose, they dont need to be right up to the light just yet...once they sprout ill adjust to the light, right now i want them to just stay in the domes and stay hudmid.. They should sprout at some time tomorrow, ill make necessary adjustments when they do.

the closer you get the lights to your humi-domes the warmer they will be, which means the faster your plants will come out of the ground. move the lights now for a quicker germ period.

looking good man. you should look into installing some power bars on the side walls. this will allow for the sides of your plants to take in more light

also if you go to your local hardware store they should have all kinds of different female adapters for plugs. they have these really nice 3 way plugs that when used with socket adapters you can get three lights out of one socket and they dont take up the space of a y-adapter.

i have one and i use different sized cfls on it allowing me to have better control of the light design.

Ya I'm not really worried about lighting during veg cause eventually I'll be flowering clone and that's plenty of light for mother plant...top room has 250 watt hps for flowering which is gonna do most of the work
