I've never grown with a hydro set up but I've always heard that organic bud always comes out better. I am sure with a hydro set up you can grow just as big but organic is supposed to have a better taste. Now this can be debated but its what I've heard from some experts as well as read. But totally stick with soil, hydro may be easier but I think soil would be more rewarding considering there is more to worry about and you're going the way mother nature intended.Its not that wet though, only 1/2 of the top soil is moist. I built this for soil, im not going to just drop it and rebuild for a hydro set up.
best to do it way u are doing before using expensive seedsUpdate*
2nd day of grow-
Wasnt a fan of the seed starter pots with the potting soil, i awoke and found the soil was solid, no way a seed could produce roots to move through it.
SO! I went to my local grow store and got some rapid rooters with a humid cover and bin to set them in, was 30$ for the bin, humid cover and 50 pods.
Took the sead out of the start pot and placed it in the rapid rooter pod, but, before placing it i soaked the pod for about 30 minutes in room temp water that has sat out for over 48 hours. Placed it in the bin and put the humid cover on it, put it in my closet which is never used, completely dark in the upstairs of the house, very hot and humid. I will wait until it starts to sprout, then I will get some light on it and go from there. Heres some pics!
*The dark pod with the hole covered has my single seed. As stated before, doing this ALL on bagseed for a test run before doing my bubblicious grow.
Comments welcome!
humid yes dark noDo you think doing it with these rapid rooters in a humid dark area will be better then how had i had it previously?
i always put it under light so i dont have to stare at them till they break surfaceive got 91% humidity, everything ive read online so far has said light isnt necessary until it pokes through the surface, then add the light, is this not correct?
ok that will workhaha i feel ya, i think it will sprout without the light, once it sprouts though, that thing is goin right inside my box under 1x 6500 cfl, i honestly feel ALOT better about these rapid rooters over that junk soil and seed starter pot i had earlier, just the feel of the pods made it feel like it was meant to promote great aeration and root growth. Cant wait til it pops so I can get some more people following my grow, thanks for sticking with me FAB and Balactus, and thanks for the advice.
i have hard time sleepingAppreciate the help, glad to see theres other insomniacs like myself!
cool i will be looking for it broI hear you on that brother, thats why i smoke a little bit, relaxes me enough to pass out. Ill have another update tomorrow, hoping my little (girl) is getting some growth in that rapid rooter Cube!
