Quick resume.
As my first setup i choosen to go hydro since i saw my brother growing for a while...
2 rooms
- vedge: 2'x4'x4'... 2x 2 tubes 4' T8 DayLight fluorecent... Ebb&Flow / DWC mix (Flood and drain but some water remains in the tray).
- bloom: 4'x5'x5' (SCROG)... 1000w HPS... Dual 20 4" pots Ebb&Flow / DWC mix... Intake+Exaust... fans to move air inside also... black&white as wall reflective... this room is air and light tight!
10 freezeland seeds where put directly into rockwool cubes then placed on my vedge area covered with a dome to keep humidity. My vedge side is a mix of ebb&flow and dwc.
By this i mean every 6 hours(4 times a day) the cubes that sits in the tray are flooded half inch for an hour then drained back to the res, but i keep tray water level 2 inches under the cubes so when the roots get bigger the will be constantly littlely soaking in the solution until the next flood.
I am using tap water filtred trough my "Frigidaire Filter" with NO nutrients fow the moment.
The Journal.
Day 1:
Ok so today i put the seeds into rockwool cubes then under the dome. I am using well water. The pH was little high so i added little pH Down to it... still little high but will lower it again in the next few days. Hopefully they will all sprout quickly!
Day 2:
When i woke up i did a routing chekup and the temp of the room is a little low, the humidity also! It's not getting over 40% hum. Stays in the 30's. I know it's not that bad but i don't wan't to stress little babies or see slow growth
... anyway i also did a water test and the pH is looking high again around 7. Will drop few pH Down drops tomorrow.
Day 3:
Oh, today i think i'm in kinda trouble...
I did a water check and i think the well water or then pH Down i get is not good at all!!! my water heater is fully covered with a kind of corrosion? looks like salt or calicium. It's like soft white and it's crustys. Anyway imma do a full water change tonight! Let's use the "Frigidaire Filter" for now until i get a better filter.
Later this night!
Finished the "flush" and cleaned the setup with hot water/javex. Hope everythings will be fine!
My pH is still high but i will let this water run like that for a day before droping it, don't wan't to stress the plants. I will use vinegar this time!
Day 4:
Wow!
4 of them already sprouted! Didn't think it would be that quick 
But i think there are little over watered as the leaf are drooping. I adjusted the water cycle from 4 times a day to 3 times a day every 8 hours they will be soaking half inch in the water for one hour.I will be putting the sprouted ones the other side where there is no humidity dome
I hope they grow fast and healty
