I havent used the paper towel method, this is my first time, i just popped mine into grow pots as suggested on the packet and every one came through, beginners luck i guess

Thanks so much mate for all the help youve given me, it is seriously really appreciated. I have just been looking on Amazon at those LED lights and they are cheap arent they?. One thing i noticed is that you have exhale CO2 bag in your room, how much difference does that make cause the guys at the shop said it wouldnt be worth me buying it , but i think im going to invest in some.
Ive got an PH meter, a bluelab truncheon, but because the bending was hurting my back i got a trimeter , which also measures the temp of your water ive got this one https://onestopgrowshop.co.uk/products/nutradip-growboss-trimeter , which makes the job a lot more easier.
I am also growing in coco 60/40 and its working off a IWS feeding system which someone suggested using, and giving them 2 feeds a day (15 min feed each time) once after lights on, then approx a hour before lights out.
I think with the room being longer probably 8ft and 4ft wide the Led lights as good as they hard would probably not give off the heat the room needed to keep around the 24/25% mark which is a shame as i would like these, unless there is another way around it , putting heaters in and having them on constantly (money eaters though) and trying to keep cost down, at the moment there is 3 x 600watt HPS philips lamps in, all running at 400watt at the moment, as i have digital ballasts which were more expensive but are supposed to be better.
Id love to try in soil your way mate, cause im so impressed what ive seen, but i will leave it a bit till i learn a bit more like you said, just play around a bit and see which turns out to be easiest. I was going to use pebbles on flood and drain, but was told its not forgiving like in soil, and a couple of small mistakes could cost you dearly, but was cost if it was a bigger yield pebbles is the way to go, how true this is i do not know, im only quoting what ive either been told, or what ive read.
Youve been a great help mate and i have bookmarked the page so can come back to it.
Good luck (as if you need it lol)

thanks for letting me subscribe mate, i will have more of a look when my lady has gone work. Really looking forward to looking and learning Igrow.
All this LST and topping stuff goes right over my head mate lol, mindya i bet when you first started it was pretty mind blowing. Ive been having a look at those two seeds i think it was you and your pal have, the bodhi space monkey, and the bodhi sunshine dream.
Well the sunshine dream is exactly what im after. The medical effects off that will help me no end, as i suffer quite badly with what most of that helps, also ive seen it is easy for newbies, so it fits the bill perfectly, i do think one thing by reading the reviews and if i can get them to grow right and get a bit of bud off them im going to have to go easy on it. It seems very strong and i dont like it like that as im also relatively new to smoking it as well, its only since my back became really bad, I do think of the ones ive had off others that "girl scout cookies" was really nice, so was " 11 roses"
I have took your advice of tucking some of the big leaves under and heres a couple of pics now. Week 3 Day 3 , could i have your expert advice on what you think, and are the lights to low 400watt hps. Only concern apart from anything you spot is the room is quite cold when lights go out only around 16/17 degrees, and i do have a good oil filled radiator on full whack .
Once again my friend i thank you so much , oh i nearly forgot the pics.
Have yourself a great day, and hope to get a little feed back on them, and what could be done to improve things
