This is my Timex GJ - Timex: Takes a Lickin' and Keeps On Tickin' (like I have these last two months).....
I've had a slow start here at MP with a first grow.... so please feel free to help if you see me making obvious mistakes.
My setup is a
2x4x5 tent -
600W switchable cool tube, a
170cfm inline fan, an 18" carbon filter
6" can fan for intake
10" circulation fan
2 gallon pots
MG seed starter soil with some Perlite mixed in
HO nutes - the full line from their recent promotion
Distilled water
GH PH Up and Ph Down
12/14/09 1PM : Put seeds in sm bowl of distilled water in the dark, under a glass cake dome @ 80F - 5 Auto Fem Lowlife White Russians from Attitudes. :yay:
12/15/09 7AM: All sunk so I started germinating using the paper towel two plates/clam method, returning them to the warm dome on top of the heating mat on low.
12/15/09 5PM: ALL 5 show signs of life and 3 of 5 have small root taps - but let's not rush things....
12/16/09 5PM: 4 out of 5 have really respectable tap root - with one amazingly long one - and even the slowpoke has a little white dimple on her bottom - fingers crossed for her.....
maybe she's shy and would like a little music and a drink so I spritz her paper towel and tuck her in with some sweet tunes ..... :guitar: :fid: :beatnik: - will check her in the morning.
later that evening ....... planted the four germinated seeds in MG seed starter and a couple handsfull of perlite in quart size pots. The saran wrap didn't cling to my liking so I put each small pot inside a gallon sized zip lock bag and put all in a tray in the bottom of the 2x4x5 grow tent along with the single white widow I put into flower on 12/14/09.
The plan is to germinate all 5 successfully, let them veg under flors for two weeks and put those girls in the tent on a 20/4 schedule and let em do their thing.
The single WW is going to put a kink in things.... So far she's fine in the tent under the HPS all by herself - total height with pot is 27.5"at this time .... IF there's room, they can all live happily together 12 hrs a day and I can put her in the makeshift sleeping chamber I've made in an extra bathroom.... But if she stretches and can no longer do her 12 hrs in the tent, I've got to make a decision, either the autos go under the 3000K 20,000 lumin T5 or the WW goes with the T5. I'll make that call another day.
Here's the obligatory tap root :baby: and dirt in pots:giggle: shot along with a pic of the WW step sister.
