    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    I made a DIY carbon filter the other day. It's made from 6" ducting, a universal replacement carbon filter, 1" hex wire, and a cheapo 6" inline fan from homedepot retrofitted to the fan port on my light. I found that with the glass shield removed from the light and the fan ON, the temps were...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    The overwatered one is looking better today. Brown spots on leaves aren't any worse. The plant overall looks better. I don't plan on watering again until 5/9 or 5/10 (7-8 days after watering). Hopefully this plant will have a good recovery. Depending on how it looks in a week then I may or...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    The one plant is growing very well, and looking good. The other plant has never looked as good because it had been mild/moderately overwatered in the past (droopy leaves which were dark green). Since then the watering history for this plant has been: 4/20 (day 15): transplanted from 16oz cup...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    I decided to add some better new pics (Day 22 including germination). Pics 610 and 612 are of the plant that hasn't been watered for a week. Leaves are a bit darker green, with slight wrinkling. Pics 611 and 613 are of the other plant (watered ~4 days ago). Is there any harm in moving the...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    I took a few more pictures today. The pics aren't as good b/c I left the plants under the light....but the plants still look pretty good. I haven't watered the one on the right for a week now, since it was previously a little overwatered. The soil isn't completely dry yet...it feels slightly...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    Ok, thanks for the advice. I will be sure not to add any nutrients yet. I noticed on the one plant...there's a small strip of lighter leave (hard to see in the previous post..pic 4 lower left leave)...this may be some slight burn from the soil (even though it's 33%perlite, 67%FFOF...it must...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    They're getting bigger (Day 18 including germination time). I haven't added any nutrients yet. The new soil from the re-potting i guess will keep it going. I think i'll give some 25-50% strength big bloom this week.

    I saw a root or two coming out of the bottom of the containers, so transplanted them today into 3 quart pots.

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    Thanks for the interest. I have a few new pictures. The seedlings at day 14 (4/19/10). They're looking like some nice strawberry plants. I decided to fire up my 250W MH light today. For nutrients, i think i'm going to go with fox farm big bloom, grow big, and tiger bloom. I may...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    I noticed today (4/18/10) after watering this morning the one showed some droop. I think it may be a little over-watered. I've been watering ever other day; i add the water until it starts to come out the bottom. Maybe i should water every 3 days or use less water for each watering. Temps...

    I also have a box fan (24"?) running at the slowest speed 24/7. The cfls are about an inch from the top of the seedlings. Light on for 19hrs, off for 5hrs. Soil mix is 75%FFOF and 25%perlite. Some more pics. 625, 630 seedlings on (4/11/10) 633, 635 seedlings on (4/12/10) 610, 611 seedlings on...

    Strawberry Cough from seed, 250W, 1st grow

    Well, this is my first grow and first post. Two seeds started germination on 4/5/10 and germinated within 48hrs with the paper towel method. They were then planted in foxfarm ocean forest in 16oz plastic cups. The seedlings are under 2 27W cfl (5000K, 1750lumens each). I've been watering...
