So today being the impatient and anxious chap I am. Did some reading and a lot of people have issues when germinating with rockwool in coco and the coco leeching the moisture. So I I cracked all the rw cubes to place seeds straight in coco. All 6 have tap roots and have been placed about half inch deep root down. Hopefully should see some new heads pop up over the next week
My buddy recently gave me some random seeds. I read a little and just dropped em in the coco, all five came up in 48 hours :D

Yeah they are under that T5 with the rest of them, the others are the clones I was given. Raised em up a little bit to get em closer to the light.
If they're stretching move em closer. (unless you're in flower obviously) t5s don't put out that much heat or that many lumens. You'll know when you found the sweet spot

Yeah I did when I had regular bulbs in there, but now I have these Hortilux PowerVeg Bulbs (the 8 bulb veg formula) http://www.eyehortilux.com/products/power-veg.aspx

They recommend 12" from the plant with the veg light setup, so I have been pretty much keeping it around there

DSC_0616.JPG all In their new home. Lights staying on 24 until they are all up at least a week. Then will switch to 18/6. NL x chronic and hindu kush will be staying In as mothers for my next run and to sort a few clones out for people. (market for full indicas where I am is good) wwxbb will be going in the tent on 18/6 as soon as the stardawg is finished.

Man the little babies are cute.

And hold out! Paitence is a virtue! You can make it! One more day bro!

I'm guessing you are very pleased with your grow, I know it's been an awesome read on the Stardawg :)

To say the stardawg was my first run. It's like a rags to cloth story. Could've ended better but at least I should b smoking for free up until this one is done. The amount of bud may not be great but the amount I've learnt to take with me. Defo. I can hold out as long as it takes for the other one. If she doesn't do well. I'll get by on the 3 plants. (probably be easier to move around the tent too)

3 plants is good but you still end up with massive gaps unless scrog came into play then it's your own fault if there's big gaps... I miss not having any plants in flower just like I do when there's none vegging
I had 6 in mate 3 already got the chop. These were started like 3 weeks later. But I'm gonna give these ones an extra couple weeks if they will take it. See if I can get some ultimate head down bud going for Netflix times. I'm still figuring shit out myself but enjoying myself at the same time. The stardawg was an awful butcher run THCBrain. But it's getting me high

So you got 1 bit right it does take practice even the better growers fuck up every now n then they just don't report it on here lol I've even had a couple disaster runs..
Back in the day I somehow managed to squeeze an ounce out of a 70w hps and a couple CFL (back when they were really hot, and not very efficient). I guess i've got 3 grows under my belt before my shed grow (4th)
1st - 70w HPS and probably 50w of CFL. Yield was somewhere around an oz.
2nd- Went all in, 1000w hps (magnetic ballast) - 4 plants - Never got to finish. Busted. Learned to never grow somewhere you don't own. 2 felonies as a result.
3rd- 440w of PLL (bent t5's) in a 44 gallon trash can. My third grow ever was a total disaster. I had almost 4 ounces of airy, non active bud. :/ I chopped too early, and paid for it. Ya live and learn.
4th- Shed grow, ongoing. :)

I have had better luck than that talk about 1 after the other, I'd of given up if I had been busted, I've done around 10 grows in 2 years started a few single plants but now run 2 tents side by side although one is down at the moment as I think it's silly to run 2 when they all fit in 1.
