Ouch, sorry to hear that. I just set them in the styro cups. Not taking any chances.
Ooh SLH, I have a couple of those beans for my next grow.

looks like that may help with the stretching too.

Hey SL2, just read through and I'll be ROOTing for ya (sorry, bad pun) Had to laugh at your wee accident. How about transplanting a 3 gallon pot to a 4 gallon pot, and dropping the root ball (it was like watching my intestines falling to the ground - haha) But the girl is alright now - luckily enough (combo of being stoned and hung over - not good)
Good move with the cups^^^ nice suggestion from Mr Garcia indeed. I am using black pots for this, I have tried a few diff techniques for germinating (everyone has their own it seems.) and have failry decent luck. I do prefer getting the root to pop first, then putting them into soil (also helps with them growing the right way I think)
As Tom 420 said, lights closer to the seedlings (it's suprising what light seedling can take) but I guess that's history now.
Finally, good darts with the construction, very impressive. Can you come over and build my new veg bos for me (I hear you are looking for work -lol)
Talking of work, I am not exactly doing a lot at the moment spending my time reading your journal, lol, but I am also recovering from a 19 hour drinking session so taking it easy today(weddings - you got to love them, if only for the grog!!)
Peace out, DST

Hello DST, nice of you to stop by my journal. Damn you actually read all that lol I sure need someone to rOOt for me! That was funny lol I cant imagine repotting a 3 gal. I would have died if I dropped that one lol I was a little tongue-hanging-numb when I knocked mine over but thats when I like to mess with them My mind runs faster than my body lol

I got the clear cup idea from Jerry. I follow his grows. No fancy equipment or big grow area, just good technique and common sense and Jerry grows some nice bud! I think you are right because one of my Sharksbreath root grew up and died from air exposure. I just dont like handling the little seed bitches! lol
As Tom 420 said, lights closer to the seedlings (it's suprising what light seedling can take) but I guess that's history now.
I left them in my clone dome too long. It made them stretch too much. Ill just bury them deeper on the up-pot. Its all GOOD!

Thanks brother. I appreciate that. I grew up build things. Started working as a helper in construction for a family member when I was 13 back in the 70s. Only way to keep me out of trouble lol
I would love to build one for ya. But we got to go BIG! Lets do a whole room...NO cabinet! lol You should see my grow room design. It has a separate germination / veg room, a flower room, an equipment/supply room and a drying room. It has it all, ac/heat, co2, complete exhaust and ventilation, water and sink in equipment room. I think you would like it

I love them as long as there are not mine lol I going to go check out your threads later DST

WOW T42A you have a jungle! They look nice man green and bushy. Thanks for sharing...
I had some clone tips if I can find the post I will send it to you. I tried it as a test and had all five root. I was shoked. I just cut them at a 45 degree angle, soaked my rock wool cubes in Dutch Master APS, stuck them in the cubes put them in my dome with mat heater and my 2' T5 they all had roots in about 6 days or so.

wow man.. these are comin along great!!!! i was gonna make the same suggestion about the clear cups.. ive heard that if light hits the roots.. that it can kill them.. because the temperature change.. or something light that.. idk exactly what it is.. but it seems like u took care of that problem. =) damn im sooo jealous.. i wish i had money.. lol i LOVE the choice of strains you have man!! be sure to take a bunch of clones!! im curious to see how the sharks breath comes out!!.. also.. i wanna see someone grow out DNA's pineapple express.. i saw 1 thread on here of some guy who said he grew it out.. and he said it was the best weed he had ever grown/smoked.. said it grew faster than any other plant.. and it budded faster than any other plant he ever grew... deff subscribing!!!!

Thanks GDP
Yea have a little gull wing thing going on. lol Thanks for the encouragement man. If my dumb ass would not have added nutes, lol I have learned a lot for starting seeds this way. I have some bags seed and I am going to do a couple of test runs on them to see if I can nail down the process.
I love the T5 for veg. I am thinking of adding some single T5 bulbs in the corners of the new flower cabinet to complement the 600 hps. That would give about 816 watts of FLOWER POWER! lol

Thanks man and welcome chb
They are bigger and have more leaf sets since those pics. I can see new growth every day.
I have read that light is not good. But my exp is AIR is worse. I had roots on my White Widows and Big Bud grow out from the drain holes and lived until the water dried up in the saucer. I was like wtf??? The light did not kill them? lol That was with the 600 hps shining down on them. my first grow was in waterfarms, I would remove them for their daily feeding, root ball hanging, so I could check ph and ppm again while the 600 was on and never fazed them. Go figure But I am not taking any chances so I will keep them covered! I am still a newbie only third grow and second in soil so I have a big learning curve ahead of me.
Glad you like the menu. If I knew ya I would give you some beans to grow! Lol I just want to try diff strains to see what I like. I will do some clones of the best growing plants. SB3 is doing good. SB2 died root grew up and the air killed it. SB1 is making a comeback after I dumped it on its head. lol
Here is the line up for my next grow. I try to match them up base on height and flower time the best I can from diff website info. Beans are sitting here waiting to GO!!!
Next Grow
DP Strawberry Cough (2 ea)
Big Buddha C H I E S E L (1 ea)
Green House Super Lemon Haze (2 ea)
Big Buddha Blue Cheese (2 ea)
DNA Sleestack x Skunk (3 ea)
I looked at the PE. Wasnt sure if it was a gimmick because of the movie. If I see positive grow journals on it I may give it a whirl!
I've look thru a lot of websites.. And I haven't seen anything from dna called pineapple express... I've seen it for g-13 labs...
Peace
