Whatup community!

it most certainly a pleasure to be able to join this "land" of knowledge. so got my grow room built and concealed. with this economy and the comp. i work for struggling i would of been able to afford everything, but i'm piecing things as i can afford them. (what good is a grow room when you've been evicted right!

so i germinated one feminized chiesel seed from dutch passion and one feminized white widow seed from seedsman.

used the soaking germination method the chiesel cracked after 2 days and the widow after three. i used filtered rain water for this.

then transplanted each into a rockwool cube. i have a drip irrigation setup for my veggie room. getting all of the parts (i.e. retrofit drip head/emitters, resevoir, hoses) connected while im waiting for these baby's to rise!

i was given this crazy light box from a friend a few years back. he used it to burn screens for screenprinting but it was smaller than the average screen. i looked this guy up on the net recently and found out is is sold for light therapuetic reasons. i figured that my plants could use a little light therapy themselves. it is retailed priced at 400 bones(had no idea!) . the luminensce is calculated from distance away starting at 18.5" giving 10,000 lumens, 5,000 at 23", and 2,500 at 42". i think it will work cause there is 2 bent flourescent tubes and i can see a warm tint and a cool tint to the bulbs.

right now i have the box suspened on chains about 4 inches from the top of my cubes. so we'll see if this beautiful treasure comes in handy.

to be continued......

day four and my chiesel is showing some white from above as well as slight activity in the widow. i went out for a day and they were fairly dry so i decided to soak them and put the rockwool cubes in a plastic bag to trap some heat. they bag isn't sealed so air can get in and plopped them under my light box about 4-5" maybe less. my buddy picked up an adaptor for my drip head so my resevoir should be functional soon. got my nutes......fox farm liquid bloom/big bloom/ and tiger bloom. when i get my irrigation rocking/ and my little buddies sprouted ill make sure to throw down some flix for yall.

untill then i'm crossin' me fingas!

day 7: my buddy and i determined the sunbox was a bad idea due to its unknown specs and little sprouting of the seeds. i'm stressed right now cause nothing has sprouted green after a week. i know there are roots growing but i'm not sure if i'm jumping the gun or not. so my conclusion was to throw my 600w hps in my veg room at 18 hrs. to give these seeds a jump start and then throw a 42w cfl or two in there after the next few days.

what are the signs of a bunk sprout? should i start germing some backup seeds? these are feminized so they are very precious to me, but i will have alot of space issues if i have more than two/three tops mothers in my veg room alongside a batch or three or so clones.

here are the flicks.
