Day 14:well changed the res. Moved one of the seedlings into res. After filling the res I added 1/8th teaspoon of nutesand balenced ph. Add 2 more 20 watt cfl's 3 other seedlings will be on there way soon. SW is still looking real sick butshe hasen't died i may have to make a decision real soon. I don't have much space for her and she needs alot of vegging. As I see on here these plants will take off and I don't want to veg to long. So hopefully she takes off and kicks it in gear.

Day15: I made up my mind I am giving snow white to my buddy as I have 2 awesome seedlings all ready to go. One is in the dwc as I type and the other is going in later today. I did balence the ph today and one of the other seedlings looked like she died. such a shame. She germinated fine then started to sprout but, then died off. checked the root and it was still good so i replanted her and maye she will take if not no big deal just germ a couple more.

Looking good man I was doing a 30 gal rubbermaid grow box but bugs kept getting in it. Now that I think about it I have a old desk in my garage, I may do somthing similar to your grow box and I wanted to do the same dwc bubbler but I dont know how to transfer from soil to that setup and I dont know where to get any hydro nutes. Other than that great start I hope you got some bitches growing.:joint:

Thanks for the ebay refrence im going to look into that. And I had a friend who attemped to grow some low ryder and he stunted the shit outta it so by like the 6th week it was only 2 inches tall and had already lived half its life and he barley got even 2 grams so im nervous about trying to grow low ryder and mess up but it's somthing im going to try.:joint:

Well all we can do is try.the thing I like is the auto flower.i don't have to switch my lights and I can stagger my plant growth so I'm harvesting once a month. And I fi keep things compact with the cfl's they wont get to tall.I can also trim them and make some hash.

Hell ya keeping trim to make hash is always a good idea their are some people on this fourm who just throw up to a ounce of it away:wall:. But right now my plan is to have one mother plant and get clones off that and put them in somthing like wolfman zen did and go from there.:joint:

Day15 continue: well snow white is in her new home maybe my boy can get her todo somthing. I did transplant my other seedling that was ready. I changed the res balenced ph and added 1/8th of teaspoon of nutes. I new this would be ok because the seedling did not react in any bad manner. I did change some lights around I went and bought a six pack of 26 watters equiv 100w toss like 1700 lumes apiece. Put all six in the box plus a 20w and 2 42 cfl equiv 150 watt. Holy shit bright. my temp went up to 91.? very quickly So I unscrewed 1 26w and the 20w Temp is ok right now but, with door open. I bought a little stand up 3v fan just to move the air around but I needed a the 3 volt ac adapter bought one when I was at walmart got home fucking end plugs were missing someome jacked them out of the package and me after staying up all night reading DR Chronics thread missed that so wife is returning. Ummm anything else........... yes here are a couple picks of my young ladies. Long leaf Joy and Tiny Tessie. haha lol

Day16: Balenced Ph I keep misting my plants every now and then to help root growth plus my plants seen to love it right now. Joy is now 5 days oil and tessie is six. Tessie has been in the bubbler a day longer than Joy. tommorow I will change res and keep the same fert. I won't go up in fert till next time I change the res.

average 81 to 85 I love it when it drops into the 70's. I moved all the lights up about 6"s to promote stretch. I want to see 6 nods and then lights out.
