Hi all, so this is going to be my first journal.
Where to start?..seeds.all the seeds are from barneys.Red dragon,papaya and pineapple chunk are all feminised, and afghan kush is not.(i think i placed an order for 4 feminised seeds) but after a smoke....who knows.
Germination,i used a bowl from the kitchen,placed some wet papertowl in the bowl, seeds go in and cover with a plate.place somewhere warm(like my kitchen) and waited.
three days later i checked to find all four had roots. moved them into 1" rockwool cubes then into my homemade propagater,(see pics) its a clear tube from poundland turned upside down.

my homemade propagater then went into the tent.at this time i found out that forward planning was so inportant, as i did'nt have a light....shit! so off to the d.i.y shop but all i could find was a twin t8 tube light.oh well got to use something.
put the propagater on top of the wilma,put the light up and lowered it to just above the top,close as possible.

i got a 45ltr bag of clay pebbles,washed the bits and dust off in the sink(the wife loved this as all the little bits went down and blocked the plug hole)sorry babe.

now the wilma is the four pot,not the big four pot. 11ltr pots and a 35ltr res.i also got an air pump (fleebay) for the res and have been trying out different air stones and pipe layout... but had to settle for the air stone that come with the kit as the pump is just not man enough to run 2 or any other stone.

so after aweek in the propagater i moved them to the 4" cubes and place them in the wilma(11ltr pots fill with clay).feeding only quarter nutes(ionic grow) every 12hrs for 15 mins at atime.under 250w hps,running 18/6.4"exhaust fan running all the time.

sorry about the pics,still trying to work it out. before anyone ask,its a large sheet of cardboard cut to the size of my tent,with holes cut out to stand the pots through,the pots are still seating in the wilma with the cardboard just laying on top.it stops the light getting to the water res.
