Hello my friends and welcome!
Another waterfarm grow on the go. The first journal I read was Dayzts tangerine dream grow and I was hooked straight away. I've also read scottys, mr2shim, kriznaf and tdoodas journals which have helped alot and I just want to say thanks alot people!
This is my first time growing so i've kinda chucked myself into the deep end starting out w/ hydro. I've had a friend grow before (he grew applejack in soil) and it turned out good.
I've decided to grow GHS Kalashnikova [AK-47 x White Widow]

When the plant is older I plan to LST and then Scrog.
So here is a list of my setup:
Secret Jardin DR120 (120cm x 120cm x 200cm) tent
Acoutsic ducting
600w Dual HPS
6" Ruck (470m3/hour) & CF
SMS twin fan controller
125w CFL (6400k blue)
4gallon waterfarm (drilled extra 6.5mm holes at the bottom)
Tetratec 300ltr per hour dual air pump
6" Hailea airstone
EC tester
PH tester
Hydroponics liquid PH up & down
946ml GH Floranova Bloom
80ltr tote box to hold water
10ltr bucket
So over the past few weeks of setting things up and getting the rest of the set up, I have been rinsing the hydroton in the waterfarm. Been getting alot of crap still from it untill someone said a great idea and rinse the pebbles under the shower for 30mins. Done this twice and it's took alot of crap from it but not sure if all.
About a week ago I put 2/5 seeds into a shotglass and put the at the back of the fridge (read somewhere that this helps germ). On the 11/11/11 I took my seeds out of the fridge and let the get used to room temp before I germ them.
For germination I got a tupperware box and put some paper towel down. Put 2 seeds in then another bit of paper towel on top the put some PH'd water to 6.2 on the seeds.
I then put the tupperware box into another box and sat it ontop of the boiler. I had my thermometer in the box and the min/max temps would be 20/27. Put them in a dark place and let them do their thing.
Just before 48 hours both seeds have cracked but one has a longer root. Probs 1/4". So today 13/11/11 i've carefully placed the best seed into the waterfarm. I've made a crevice in the peddles to try and keep the water running down to the seed but i'm also going to hand water the seed (from the tube) with a shotglass to make sure it keeps moist.
I've also got my CFL on now. Going to keep it on 24hours for the next few days and hope this baby starts to grow some deep roots.
I'm going to add some pics soon. My batteries has just died on me so I need to get some real soon.
Anyways, thanks again for all the help from people. Lets see how this turns out ^_____^
