only got 1 of 4 carmelicious to sprout due to stoner mistakes - one lost seed (not me, that was the fiancee) and two dried out (that was me).

put three seed bank mystery freebies in papertowels today.

the goal for this grow is 4 females out of 8 seedlings.

Subscribed :) Nice looking, put clear plastic cups over them under the MH will help them from drying out for a lil while, while they get used to it...that'll help them to quit stretching also..props!

wondered what all of the plastic cups in pics were for, thanks for the tip. already changed to some cfls i had laying around because i'm still working on the cooling for the room.

Looks fine so far aside from the bit of stretching. Bummer about the seeds man, I did that a few weeks ago(let them dry out after cracking).

sigh, was moving my babies out of the way while i was working on the grow room and dropped the whole tray. three of five lost most of their soil, exposing the root. so i put back the soil and staked them up.

also planted three of the mystery seeds but lost one to the accident.

now have growing:
4 ww seedlings
1 carmelicious seedling
2 mystery seeds planted today


as for the grow room, i installed a 600 w mh light with ducting and am testing the ventilation today. if all is well, i'll switch out the cfl's that have been on the seedlings.

vented from carbon filter to light to duct muffler to outdoors. venting ac into the garage and air intake from the garage as well.

better day today - all of the dropped babies recovered well.

both mystery seeds sprouted today.

moved the seedlings back to the new room and put them under the 600 mh with the light about 3' away.

worked on the grow room cooling:

raised the carbon filter to increase the amount of hot air vented out. moved the fan from before the light to after the light.
venting to the outside instead of the garage.

temps with light and ac on were 83 while outside temp at 91.

hey closet, how they hanging?

anyway, its been a good day so far. of course, i haven;t seen the plants yet so i haven't had a chance to drop them.

second grow is going well now that the seedlings are back in the soil.the first grow is also doing well although i may end up with the record for longest flowering period.

and life is just grand.

If you get your light to the right height then they will stop stretching. you can also transplant them into 1 gallon pots and bury up to first leave set.
