Hello Everyone,
To all of the experience out there, may I give my kudos. I have read many of the threads here prior to posting, and there is a lot of good, helpful advice on this site. Although I have a particular question to which I can't seem to find an answer. I have done a few soil grows in the past with some pretty good luck. I guess it was a learning curve if nothing else. I have built a system described by hydroRon on hydroponicsonline.com. Great system, but I don't know a thing about timing with hydroponics. I am currently trying to germinate some bagseed in a dark closet in organic plugs to eventually transfer to the hydrogarden I have set up. Does anyone know about how long this process generally should take before I give up on these seeds. I have had them in the plugs for about a week now, flushing every night for 10-20 minutes with distilled water, and still no signs of life in there. Anyone know if I am still alright? If not, what would be the proper process to germinate some seeds successfully for hydroponics system. In dirt, its easy, stick em in the ground, hahaha :). Thanks in advance for the help.

Hey everybody. Just starting out with growing here. I'm in for a treat. I have spent close to 5000.00 U.S. dollars on this new hobby. I'm in it for money, not smoking. Just placed my 3 babies (Green Spirit) in the rock wool today under a 600 W CFL. This is a killer hydro system so far. The flowering side has 600 W HPS. I've purchased 1,000.00 worth of seeds. Those being Green Spirit, NYC Diesel, White Widow, and Arjan's Haze #1. The 3 I have started are all the Green Spirit Strain. I'm in Ohio and am lucky enough to have purchased a 4 yr. old single family house out in the country, with the previous owner back in Florida. The cool thing is, is that I have an indefinite amount of time to close on the mortgage. This means that technically the home is still in the previous owners name and I can walk away when I feel like it. I have sole legal control of the property and a general warranty deed that says so. If I have to set it ablaze if the popo gets too close, I can. A little bit of gasoline in a kerosene heater is on standby in the next room. I have 9 acres to plant outside next summer If I am so inclined. See, I got sent to prison for something I didn't do. I was forced to take a plea bargain. Two rough years gone. I can't get work for shit because of my felony. I was just fired again last week. No crying here though. I adapt. This home is just used for hydro growing and it's very fucking sweet I must say. I have rigged it with a police scanner, long range antenna, high powered binoculars, alarms on every window and door, dead bolts, rods in each window. I stole an ADT sign from some neighbors down the street in the house I'm actually living in. I have an infared driveway alarm that buzzes inside while I'm there. I have blacked out the wondow in the "hydro bedroom" My neighbors which are a little over 100 yds. away from me, have been nice enough to install a high gain high speed internet antenna for their wireless connection. I have my wireless laptop leaching their highspeed at 49 Mbs. They were nice enough to not secure their network. It's wide open. So....I purchased skype and use my laptop as a telephone and it works like a fuckin charm lemme tell you. I pay like 3.00 for three months of phone service to anywhere in the world. Along with the hygrometer and various other tech. instaments, I'm golden and could not have wished for a better set up. Well, cable tv but I have to pay on two mortgages at the moment lol. So, I will be on here regularly from start to finish and will be providing pictures and asking advice on my new adventure. I've learned so much from reading on the subject while incarcerated. I suppose I have my AA in hydroponics lol. We'll see. Anyhow, wish me luck everybody.

hey ya'll, im new to this whole internet thing and posting things so bare with me if im not doing something right but here goes... just started growin on my own last week. ive been around it alot in the past but its been about five years and ive forgoten alot.

so heres a little about my set-up and the problems im having.

ive got a 400w HPS in a closet on 24/0 with five babies goin right now. they just came up about a week ago. theyre not growing fast AT ALL. about an 1 1/2 inches tall and the leaves are really small, bunched together and kinda twisted, and starting to turn a pale green/yellowish color. theyre in 3x3in cons. right now and im using FoxFarm Ocean Forrest soil and FF grow big food. im on a very tight budget right now so its not in an inclosed grow area now. i have a plan but will take awhile for the funds. i think i have awhile anyways since im doin 24/0 til flowering so light leakage shouldnt be a problem at this point. its a walk in closet which has a three wall area build inside for clothes or whatever which has shelves, i removed a couple to make it about 4' tall 3'wide and 17'' deep. i only have a 16'' floor fan for air circulation and it gets pretty hot with the 400w in there ofcourse (no air vents inside) but do have one right outside the door on the ceiling which ive been pulling cool air from that into the closet. which in turn makes the temps flucuate from 73 to 83. 83 when the a/c kicks off in the apartment. i know 83 is high. my ?'s are... what is causing the slow growth and discoloration. im thinkin nute deficiency from slightly high ph levels even though i have a liquid drop test but maybe im fuckin color blind lol, and does the temp flucuation make a huge difference in the room? what could i do to keep it a constant temp for cheap? sorry for the length of this but wanted to add as much info as possible.

any info will be greatly appreciated!
