Thanks for dropping in king!
For the first few days i kept it wet, and there was some growth still but not much. It was sort of a natural thing to do...then i THOUGHT about it, and remembered reading that they should be allowed to dry out and sure enough, the plant has doubled in size, the leaves are no longer pointing up and its the most beautiful color green ive ever seen

I was thinking, when i get a bigger place (im restricted to a small part of the shed here..we have people coming and going way too much for anything in the house) I would like to make a grow room with a huge circular rotating table in the room...the table would only go slow..like one revolution every minute or whatever...a very very gentle movement...Then have a 1000w hps under a BIG circualar reflector on the roof above the table, this will provide general lighting to the plants to make sure theres no shadows...then have a few 600s hanging vertically, with reflectors facing the sides (2 or 3 of them). The plants would be always moving around, they would always have light on the top and be getting nice doses of light from the sides 3/4 of the time. I have plans in my head for making this work both hydro and soil...soil being much easier of course.
The question is, would this be a good plan..i mean the movement should help strengthen stems and having only 3 out of 4 sides getting intense light at a time, along with the fact the plants move, more of the lower budsites should get light..In nature the sun moves and the plants stay still....If the plants werent moving there would be parts that werent getting light, but with movement i think more of the plant will get light right?
I dunno, its probably a silly idea and not necessary at all...I just cant help but think there is a way to emulate outdoor growth, with all the control you can have with an indoor system...
Do you guys think i should start another thread for my rambling, and keep this just a journal...or is it ok to just do both here? give yas something else to read than just every detail about my plant!
Another of my seeds sprouted (i started them 1 week apart, as i was going to go perpetual already...that plan has changd now...not going perpetual till i get genetics, a bigger room and i think more lighting. (lol...Im usually so bloody tight with cash....i feel horrible..my gf asked to buy lunch and i said there was plenty se could take along to work with her..then i went and spent like 400 bucks at the hydro shop (when i got my hps etc)...so i made it up to her and apologised...even thought she didnt complain i think it upset her...it would have done me...
Ah this planet sucks balls...we have to pay for water, pay for food and shelter to survive, we have to do what we are told by the higher ups...i mean yea we need laws...but we are living beings with free minds...forcing us to do things goes against everything natural...we dont own our bodies in this world which sucks so much ass...I sometimes think to myself I wish i coudl buy an island, and make it a full on do what you want place...violence would be frowned upon...but if you wanna grow a crop of 100 mj plants in your front yard, so the postie has to smoke his way to your letterbox every day, so be it hahaha...
Anyways, theres my rant haha...
RECAP:
1 new seeds has sprouted...no leaves yet just the seed has cracked and its taproot is about 1-2mm out. Once it gets to about 1cm I will put it in a peat plug and off we go. Now I always water once i put it in the plug...i do this to settle the peat around the root.. I was thinking...it would probably be better if i didnt do that right..the plugs already moist from soaking...and if the soil is lightly moist instead of wet it will be easier for the plant to come up...I might use a humidity dome on this seedling...Im doing 3 x bagseed if all sprout..and im taking really detailed notes of each plant and what i do and how it grows...This way hopefully ill have a good method for once the genetics get here..
So i told my best mate "skank" about the grow op...I know you guys all advise against this..but we have been boys since like primary school, we smoke together, we ride together, we have lived together, i know everything about him...he knows the same about me...its one of those frendships that you can talk about anything and not get judged you know...
Anyways he was excited...We recently had the oppurtunity to smoke some bubblegum...I explained to him the difference between indica and sativa, i showed him the box and explained what everything was and stuff...Then i told him im getting stuff like the bubblegum, and he was pretty impessed...Seeing as he will be sharing my bounty with me i guess he would be lol.
I got the seeds shipped to a family members house. We arent fully blood related..half brothers, different last name and all...he doesnt have anything at his house that illegal...hes very vanilla...so hopefully anyone following my seeds if customs let them thru wont find jack squat.
Ok well i think im going to split my journal now...One journal for rambling and crap, one for growing only.
