hello amazing community, i am here to discuss a matter i have at hand. I am growing purple trainwreck. currently in my seed stock i have purple trainwreck, dellahaze, burmese kush, wappa, underdawg og, belladona strains. i ordered from attitude seed bank.
currently the system i plan to run my single purple trainwreck is in a stealthbox built inside of a chest. the chest itself contains a bathroom exhaust running a carbon filter, a 2.5g tote turned into a dwc unit. one 55w cfl 3800 lumens, one 42w cfl 2700 lumens however the 42w is unplugged and the outlet subtracted durring the first week or two of growth, there is a pc fan installed and also a humidity dome ( a herb preserver made by ball sold at walmart, i chose this due to only wishing to perform one plant or so inside the case and ease and size is a issue.) rockwool is the medium im starting out with and im using general hydroponics gro micro and bloom. ive already started and my seedling is already popping his head out of the rockwool cube in 3 days. i followed this tutorial http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/669666-rockwool-germination-just-plant-seed.html
i plan to also add a scrog (screen of green) into the case itself but will wait until the plant reaches the appropriate size due to the light rig i have built. i insulated/lined the interior of the box with ductape and shielded the tote from light expose to the roots by covering it in duct tape as well. the air exhaust is being supported by chained zip ties if you are wondering and all ports withing sealed off to have a more directed airflow. this is not my first attempt however it might aswell be all others to start from seedling where failures due to outdoor grows ending in my babys being eatin by ants. and not attempting again. so my record is against me however i am not completely un-knowledgeable. i know plenty enough just not some of the finer points gained with experience.
this plant is currently within the first stage of its life, and im afraid as a parent and as the only person who currently wants to care for this young child. i do not know how much or when to start giving her nutrients. i plan on transplanting when she reaches 1.5 inches tall and has her leaves out however is that too late? should i transplant as soon as the leaves come out and just run the dwc to the height of the rockwool?
and as a side note i will inform that the reason i am going with a single plant system is because this is to be a mother plant to clone from. i plant to move her into a 5g bucket dwc around january. yes i do intend to do a 2 month veg unless she grows far to fast in that case i will change my plan to a earlier date.
all scrutiny critique and words accepted no need to filter if im doing something bad tell me however you would like
i appreciate all words.

also there is already a hook and i already have the extra lamphead for the second i just dont want to cook the lil guy and the humidity dome hovers where it would be. and i am planning on buying a good led panel and run hid and led side by side later on. but that's coming January.
