I think I was not counting correctly on the age of my ladies..the seedling stage starts when the first set of "true" leaves appear...that would have been on the 30th. of July so now on the 10th. of Aug. they are officially 1 1/2 weeks old. Doing great and I think I will start a quarter strength nute today and maybe by Wed. I will transplant and start the flood table operation up. Maybe start by flooding them 3 times a day with half nutes?? Anyway here are todays pics..:blsmoke:

I am using or starting to use Ionic Grow for veg..Ionic Bloom for flower with the Ionic Boost additive..I will start at 1/4 nutes for a few days and then I will put them in the pot(hydroton)and start half nutes on the flood schedule....the new light on the seedlings is a T12 with two bulbs(cool white) and it is about 4-5 inches off the tops..thanks for looking and the info...:blsmoke:

Well it is definately a slow process but we are making it. We are two weeks into the seedling stage. The ladies are now on and have been on 1/4 nutes and tomorrow they will be transplanted into 3 gal. containers and begin the veg. I will flood with half nutes for a day or two before giving them full strenght...Also I have begun Grow # 2. I have placed three seeds each, White Widow & White Diesel, in water for soaking. Any opinions, criticisms or suggestions welcome.:blsmoke:

Well we did it...finally transplanted the little ones who are now safely tucked away under the 400 watt MH. 1/2 nutes for a few days and then full on..I am only keeping a Mother from the Snow White collection as I will have two more Mother's later.. Look for Grow Journal #2 as I am growing White Widow and White Diesel..:blsmoke:

Well they transplanted well and I am flooding the table 5 times a day and they seem to like it. Having a heat issue but will resolve today hopefully with nice exhaust fans. I am using half nutes and wondering when to begin full nutes?? Any suggestions? Here are todays pics. Of course the lady in soil is my first mother,Snow White.:blsmoke:

i have never used that method of growing but i would think you should be able to go up faster than soil. just bring it up slowley, you dont need to go straight to full. the plants will let you know if it`s to strong

the second pic looks like you may have had a heat issue at one point from the canoeing on leaves. they look good other than that minor thing.
