The seeds are germinating as we speak :-P For now I'll post my setup and my gameplan, however I will not have pics of everything up till tomorrow. Sorry.

Setup:

I don't have the exact dimensions of the case, it is roughly ~21in. height x ~24in. width x ~6in. depth. The depth is what was killing me because a lot of the containers I had available didn't fit but I eventually found a perfect sized clay pot to go in there. Also, I have one exhaust fan and plenty of open holes for passive intake. Temps hopefully won't be a problem, the surrounding area isn't very hot at all. It's also pretty light proof for the most part, I have it under a desk so it doesn't really matter.

Seeds: Lowlife's Auto Blueberry - ordered from Sensible Seeds

Soil: Miracle gro Potting Mix

Lights: 1x 125 Watt CFL (I have both 6500k and 2700k that I will switch when needed)

Nutrients: Miracle gro Bloom Booster 15-30-15 (Will be used very, very lightly about 3.5 weeks in.)

pH Kit: General Hydroponics pH Control Kit (Liquid Drops)

Light Schedule: 19/5

Let me just say I fully understand that Miracle gro is not the best choice but it is all that's available to me right now so don't recommend to me fox farms or advanced nutrients, I know they're the best to use. Soil is soil and I figure that if i take care of them properly i should have no nut burn problems ;-) Before I put the seed in the soil, I'm going to flush it quite a bit so the plant wont burn. When putting in the soil, I tried to get as many of the little nutrient sacks out as I could. Should I pH the water before i flush with it? or does it not matter because it's just a flush?

Here are pics. Sorry for the delays again. I'll just call this Day 1.

1.) Case with the lights on. The reason some of it is aluminum reflective tape and part white paper is because i ran out in the middle of building it and was too lazy to get more :eyesmoke: cut me some stoner slack haha.

2.) Pc fan - exhast. not sure how strong it is, kind of loud but not too loud.

3.) Case with light off.

4.) First pot with one seed - if you look hard in the middle you can see its popping up..I saved it! thats the one that dried out pretty bad but its making a nice recovery.

5.) The case with everything in and set up.

any comments suggestions...

Ohhhh......

Miracle grow? Ooooh.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, though Miracle Grow Fertilizer is made from the left over petroleum that cannot be made into any other product. (Highly carcinogenic)

Get rid of it, and start over.

Best advice.

Checked em today, was happy to see both sprouted above soil. Lookin green and healthy.

I have plastic wrap over them, should i remove it? or leave it on for another day..the seed isnt fully broken off the top yet and theres like half an inch between the plastic and the top of the sprout.
