Hello again MP! For any of you who read my last journal (home sweet home) you know that I had the misfortune of cooking my plant... and a lot of problem with growth in general.
Well, on the day my first girl died, I was determinned to get this growing stuff right, so I put 5 seeds in to some wet paper towels, sealed them in to a tupperware container, and then put them under a sweater in a closet. After ~48 hours I had 2 seeds with taproots ready to go in to soil. (By the way, it was 4 bag seeds, and one of my snowberry seeds).
To this day, the snowberry seed still has no taproot, so I've kind of given up on that one, but anyway, back to my story.
I put the 2 seeds in soil, and in ~24 hours had them above ground, and under my lights.
*Note* something I did different this time was to switch one of my cool white CFL's out with a warm white *endNOTE*
My setup: five 26watt coolwhite CFL's, and one warm white CFL, all on a bathroom vanity light strip (3 sockets, 2 lights in each) screwed in to the top of my grow tub, which consists of 2 rubbermaids, one on top of the other. There's 2 passive intakes on the bottom back of the tub, and one out take on the top of the tub, which is connected to a carbon scrubber w/ computer fan by a 4' duct.
The lights are running 24/7.
And, again, I'm using MG potting soil (feeds up to 3months) and perlite. This time with more perlite.
So, today is the 3rd day since the 2 plants broke soil, and one is bigger than my first plant that died, and one is about the same size as it was after ~26 days of veg. (Pictures below)
And, to add to this... remember I said I had 5 seeds germing, well I havn't checked them the last 3 days because I've been busy, but when I was going to take pictures for you just now, I decided it was time to toss out the baddies.... well one had a HUGE taproot. So, I'll have a 3rd plant on the way... I think this was another bagseed, but I'm not sure because they had moved around by this point. So, I'm pretty skyed about that. But, without further ado, here's the pics I took from just now.
