So I ordered 2 seeds, Grapegum, from Ripper seeds on Original-ssc.com witch has mixed genetics of mostly indica. Then I got Northern Lights X Big Bud. The order arrived in 11 days from Europe.


I started germinating them on 4/27, today is 4/29 and I checked on them and the towels were sort of dry, so I re-wet them and checked. NL X Big bud has a 1cm sprout, I have planted that seed. Grapegum still has no sprout, going to wait till the evening (right now its morning) again and then check on it.


Lights:
26watt 2700k
18watt 2700k
26watt 2700k
20watt 2700k
26watt 6500k
18watt 6500k
Total:134 watts
Total 2700k:90 watts
Total 6500k:44 watts


Ventilation:
(1) PC fan (out)
I'm still waiting for a friend to get me 2 more PC fans one will be used for another outtake, and the other, and intake.


Temperatures:
Lights On: 77 - 85
Lights Off: 68 - 75


Nutrients/Additives:
12oz Tiger Bloom (fox farms)
12oz Big Bloom (fox farms)
12oz Grow Big (fox farms)


I am using the Fox farms trio nutrients package. With a modified feeding chart.


Box Dimensions:
29in(h)
15in(l)
20in(w)
Total Grow Space (including how much space the lights take up and the pot, basically how big the plant can get before outgrowing the box):
17in(1 ft 5 inches)
If the plant does outgrow the box, I will let it grow into my closet by hanging the lights from the hanger rack.


I have painted the inside of the box flat white.


I have also so far planted the NL X Big bud. Will post updates & pictures once it sprouts.


Thank you for reading, comment, give advice, subscribe, etc.

Update #1:
I already have a kind of quick update!


Anyways, I had started germinating both seeds at the same time, the grapegum seed germinated about 8 hours faster than the northern lights x big bud one. I had just checked by germination cabinet (drawer, with heating pad and germinating seed) and the seed has clearly sprouted.


A nice bright white root coming out is good, since I did come home to 2 dry towels this morning :O. Hopefuly should stunt them that much, I quickly put some warm water over the towels and placed them back in the cabinet when I noticed the towels dried out.


Cheers, should have another update within 48 - 72 hours.

Update #2:

Just checked at 3:00PM May 1st. Northern Lights x Big bud has officialy sprouted. The plant is so tiny but has leafs and has already shed its shell off.
However, the grapegum has not yet poppd the surface yet. I watered both very minimaly today and i'm really hoping that grapegum pops.
I will update this post with pictures tommorow.
Pictures! They have came extra early because I could make the time up!:)

Update #3:
Today is day 13, tomorrow they will be 2weeks from sprout. I am shooting to enter into 12/12 at 3 and a half wks - 4wks.

Oh and I'm deciding on uploading like this more often :)






Edit: Oh and the last growth (a day after giving it nutrients) I have my first 7 - set of leaves. They look really fat and short but have 7 different leaves. Astonishing.

nice grow buddy good job on your cfl set up, but what i noticed is your temps try to lower them i see its at 83degrees your humidity is fine try getting temps to the 70's believe me you'll see a difference in growth they will love you for it, other than that everything looks nice. were you planing on topping or any thing in that nature.

Yes, They were constantly at 78 a couple days ago, however yesterday they jumped due to temperature outside raising (summer). I am interested in topping, LST'ing, Fimming or what not, just not very educated on how to do it and when.
