I probably will not finish this, so just be warned lol. Popped six seeds and put them in rock wool starter cubes (3) and 3 in Jiify pods, seeing if there's a difference. Those went into 3" net pots and into my low pressure spray setup today. Base water is .2 EC and PH'd to 5.9. They are under 4-t5 HO. image.jpg image.jpgimage.jpg And 24 hours to the min laterimage.jpg . The reason I started this was to document a greenthumb grow so others could see if these seeds are a waste of money or money well spent. There is some controversy involving him and his strains. As time goes on I'll throw up pics to show progress. Hopefully when done I'll be impressed because that seems to be hard to do lol. image.jpg They will be vegged and flowered under 1-600 hps and 1-600 mh after two weeks under the T5's.

image.jpg And we're off! Water is 5.8 PH, base nutes .2 ec, and no nutes added. Sprayers on every 5 hrs but may extend that a bit til roots are established. Never tried a root enhancer but may try one. Anybody recommend one that actually works or even if they do? I have light on for 24 but may turn to 20/4, again any thoughts?

So I'm thinking big mistake with the actinic lighting lol. Perhaps running it at off cycle is beneficial but need to do some more research. Its back to sun blasters tonight. Yes it really does look cool lol.

image.jpg Well ok this is boring lol. I guess I'm doing ok, there still alive lol. My plan with this setup was to cull the smallest two but can never do it lol. How do they respond to topping....anyone know? Tomorrow I will add the beanies to the root zone.

So initial observation is that the rock wool cubes are better than the jiffy pods. Two of the three in RW have roots 3" long and all 3 JP plants have no roots visible yet, I'm thinking its the excess water retention and I'm still only spraying every 6 hours. I will post some pics tomorrow night. I also have not removed the actinic blue light as the plants are doing well with it. Its actually over the two that are doing the best with no stretch at all.

Yo Budley,
I went straight from paper towel to Hydroton and its slow going to get these girls roots. Just started with weak nutes too. In the past Ive used Gh Rapid Start as a root growth enhancer. Good, but not cheap. I'm also using an actinic bulb.
