Well here I am at the beginning of my second grow, and a little wiser because of it. I just thought I'd put everything down in writing this time so I can eventually look back and see what I did. I germinated 11 seeds I bought from BCSeedking (amazing deal by the way, highly recommended). Five were Kahuna and six were Kush. You're probably wondering why I chose to do 11 instead of a more logical number like 10, but it's because I wanted to experiment with vegetating one of the seeds in EZ-Coco. Unfortunately while I was planting the germinated seeds into their pots I somehow lost one of the Kush. I have no idea how and I'm still pissed about it. I must have been searching for that damn seed for about 2 hours. Oh well, I'll experiment with EZ-Coco next time.
I now have 5 of each strain for a total of 10. Nine of the ten were completely germinated when I planted them with the tenth tap root (Kahuna) barely peeking out. I'll be keeping an eye on this one because during my first grow I had a similar problem where the late seed never popped out of the soil. So at the worst I'll have 9 total plants.
They're all in a mix of perlite and FoxFarm Ocean Forest in 1 quart containers under 4 high output T5 fluorescent bulbs. Two are blue spectrum 6000K, 2 are red spectrum 3500K. They're lighting schedule is currently 24/0, but I will be cutting back to 18/6 once they have completely popped out of the soil. Current temperature and rh are 77F and 52%, respectively, Flowering will be done under a 600W digital HPS and all will be transplanted into 1 gallon containers with he same soil mixture. Ventilation for the HPS includes a sealed Euro cooling reflector exhausted by a 6" 250cfm inline fan into another room. Air intake is achieved with a normal 16" fan.
I think that covers everything for now. If not, I'll update. If anyone has any questions or comments, feel free to post, but please try to keep it relevant to my grow.
