Still just 3 mate with 2 cubes still in the propogator, still no sign of life yet in the cubes.

Im glad also mate, ive been messing about with the position of the pumps and i have got them now so there is hardly any noise at all. For a quick fix i put 2 layers of underlay under my buckets but im gonna go with 4 layers in the flower cab and when my veg cab is empty ill lay another 2 layers in there.

There is hardly any noise at all downstairs now but when the telly is off you can very slightly hear it, its nothing that would grab anyones attention put it that way but with another 2 layers it wil be totally silent.

A couple of update pics mate, on of the plants was starting to bend over to much so i have removed it and buried it deeper in the buckets to give it some support. Let me know what you think.

I would add more hydratron to your net pots to cover up those holes. They are letting light into your res!

Mate when you say i can start spraying the plants daily when i have 4 leaves is that 4 true leaves or the 2 baby leaves and 2 true leaves?

 

[stelthy]

I'd start misting them lightly once they have 4 true leaves each, and just use normal tap water, dont worry about PH or Chlorine, the leaves can handle standard tap water - STELTHY

Thanks mate.

I have been giving these drying nets some thought. Do you think 2 square metres of drying area would be enough? I can't visualize it.

When should I start adding veg nutes mate? I gather I will have to empty the buckets of the water that's in there now and fill with pre mixed veg solution? They are still full to the level they started at at the moment.

I think that 2 m2 would be ok, But...... I also think that you should maybe get a slightly bigger area...mainly because some strains will produce average sized buds, some will produce medium and other's will produce Godly Huge buds and its better to have too much space than to little + you'll be able to space the buds out and air can/will pass over/around the nugs more evenly, making for a better possible quicker drying time....I only dry for 3 or 4 days, then Jar the buds and burp them every 12hrs for 2 weeks then the buds are ready to SMOKE !!!

As soon as you have 4 leaves then start giving nuits as the CANNA guide surgests and also mist lightly once or twice a day. Yeah you'll have to empty the buckets as they are now and refill them with the pre-mixed Veg Nuits and PH balanced water. The good thing is that whilst the plants are small your Veg nuits wont need to be changed for almost a week at a time....Only as the plant grows and nears the point of Flowering will the nuits start going down more rapidly

! Any luck with the other seedlings in your Rockwool cubes? Lookin' forward to some more pics - STELTHY

No mate still no joy with them, i think im gonna try another 2 when i get back from taking mutley for a walk

You know when i change to veg nuites do i just take the baskets out of the buckets while im replacing the liquid?

 

[BudBaby]

Did you say you were getting one of those drying tents mate? If so can you let me know how loud it is when you get it please. I have just looked at the add again and i dont think its comes with fan and filter, it says built in fan and filter holder? Thats the size tent i think i may go for though and get 2 of those drying nets

I have added another 2 seeds to the propogator mate just incase the other 2 were duds. Its only an extra tenner and also means ill hopefully def have 4 on the go within the next 2-3 days

I have been thinking(dangerous i know lol) apart from the fans now the noise level is very low, the fan in my veg cab isnt to bad but i think when i have the 2 running and the one in the flower cab having to be virtually full whack its gonna cause a fair old noise. I cant box it and insulate because i havent the room so i was wondering if i added 1-2 clip on fans in the flower cab would this help to keep humidity down letting me turn my big fans to a lower speed?

If it will im definately going to go for them because these fans are fine until 75% power then they go alot louder so if i can keep my flower cab fan lower than 75% and have a couple of clip on fans it will be alot better.

Ill get some more pics done tonight or tomorrow and get them posted up.

Here are 3 update pics, all 3 seedlings are showing a second set of true leaves now. I think i may start misting them tomorrow then start them on veg nuites on Tuesday or Wednesday. Ph is still slightly rising everyday but im hoping the buffer in the veg nuites wil sort that out. I think ill sort 50 ltrs of water tonight and let it stand with the nuites in a day or two before i start using it.

Any feedback on this would be appreciated.

I wouldn't start feeding them until the Cotyledons start turning yellow and begin falling off. Those leaves have enough energy stored in them to get the plant by for the first two to three weeks.
As far as your PH rising, did you rinse out your hydratron very well before using?

I did rinse them but maybe not as much as i should, i did consider this was the problem. I just rinsed them until all the black dirt came out of them.

The place i got my nuites from sells clay balls also and theres are meant to be the best on the market and are not meant to affect ph so ill order some of those when i transfer the girls to the flower cabinet. They seem to be loving this light though

I have been using canna start for these girls which is just a very light nuit mix for little seedlings, when its used up though i may just stick to ph balanced water if it will do the trick for the first 2-3 weeks.

Thanks for the advice dude.

Hi dude, I'am back lol I've been busy getting "Medicated" lol ... Anyhow am just gunna catch up on your post's and I'll get replying! - STELTHY

 

[BudBaby]

No worries mate, I think I've got my head round most of it now. So far everything has gone well.

Hi mate, I am ordering mine at the end of the week...I defo think that drying tent is perfect, But I'd defo get a few racks to go in there, its better to have to much space, than too little


Thats cool you have 2 back up seeds in the Propagator, a tenner is a small cost when you consider the potential profit you can/will make!! Have the Propagated seeds sprouted yet? - STELTHY

I think that clip on fans are ok and will help with air-movement and humidity to a degree, But ultimatly I'd use a fan speed controller, ....Run the Veg cabs in-line fan slower than the Flowering rooms in-line fan..

The Vegging in-line fan wont need to clear that much heat or smell, the Flowering in-line fan will need to be on full to deal with heat, and smell etc..

NOTE:- the veg cabs humidity needs to be between 50 and 70 and the Flowering cab needs a humidity reading of around 40...So clip on fans will only really benifit your ladies in the Flowering cab.

As far as noise goes..You could attach an Odor Soc on the in-line fan (open end) in each cab.. you may need to cut them down a little or position them carefully to keep maximum height of the light/LED panels...This will keep noise levels lower and also be an extra precaution on the smell front (always a good thing)

Hope that helps - STELTHY

At this stage the liittle seedling s only require half a squeeze from your tap water spray bottle.. so go easy lol - STELTHY

In most cases this is true, however CANNA's Start is made for this early growth period and is perfectly safe to use in the right dosages etc... And lapperll is correct in saying make sure you really clean the connectors on the EC/PH wand, before and after each use.. you will find that a black-ish wet looking charcoal powder comes off after a while make sure you clean this all off, (scratching with your thumbnail helps followed by a wipe - STELTHY
