Hey, I once had a big board, painted white, which was leaning against my flowering room.....(just pulled it out of the room, so I could get in)...as I backed out I knocked into the board which fell over onto 10+ clones, bent them over and upset the pots.....you get the drift?

Anyway, after sorting them out, putting soil back in the pots, watering them, straightening them out.....made full recoveries!! :wink:

.....it was a big board! :mrgreen::joint::peace:

Moral:......don't give it up for dead, until it's dead! :peace:

Nice grow...

Could i please see some close ups and maybe explanation of how your lights are attached to the moveable ceiling...

I like the idea of moving the lights up/down as opposed to the plants themselves witch i have seen allot of... Putting some stopping safeguard in the future...

I was trying to work out how to make a DIY track light like you have here but i am stumped on how to connect the gold light fixture to anything... You are starting to give me ideas but i could use more info...

ABOUT THE PAPER TOWEL METHOD...

I have read that the best thing for your seed is to put it right in the soil and skip the paper towel mess...

After testing two seeds with each method ill post my results here... From what i gathered so far is that the transplanting of the rooting seed from PT to your medium (soil) can either at worst damage the new forming root and at best will shock the little seedling causing strange early growth compared to a directly planted seed witch will form more naturally from gravity... Just my two cents...

That was long winded... =\

Mutch love to your babies coming back with full flower power... =]

you should invest some money in some good soil, i use peat moss(30%),top soil(50%
perlite(20%)

and u can lower the light a little if there compact flouresents, i keep mine 1-2 inches away from the tops.

good luck with your plants

ps love the names lol

Alright, time for answers to the comments, suggestions, and questions then I'll post up dates.

"Could i please see some close ups and maybe explanation of how your lights are attached to the moveable ceiling..."

I'll post some pix later today however I'm going to change my set-up in a few days to something that has NO POSSIBILITY OF EVER FALLING DOWN. If you're looking to build something similar I'd suggest waiting until I have the pix from the new upcoming setup. But I will post pix of my current set up- note, it's very ghetto rigged. LOL.

"I have read that the best thing for your seed is to put it right in the soil and skip the paper towel mess..."



It's what I went with for my first time and I'm happy with my results thus far, keep me updated on the outcome of your personal research.

"you should invest some money in some good soil"

Oh I know.. LOL. My babies are going to get transplanted into Black Gold Organic soil- I chose this over FoxFarm because the perlite is already mixed into it. Just waiting for my babies to regain some strength after the lights mishap so I can transplant the babies into some bigger pots and much much better soil.

"and u can lower the light a little if there compact flouresents, i keep mine 1-2 inches away from the tops."

They're only bout an inch and a half. At the moment they're a little farther away until I can put up my new light system, in the place they're at right now (no pix posted of it) if the lights to fall or lower themselves again the lights won't land directly on the plants.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE INPUT AND FOR FOLLOWING THIS JOURNEY OF MINE.. STAY TUNED I'M GOING TO BE UPDATING TODAY.

Give some more info... What exactly does "no luck" mean...

There are allot of factors to consider at different stages...

There is no telling... Are you sure you plugged those lights in... ??

Prescribe him a cure threw pm not my grow journal.

True,,, sorry... =[

Ok so this is what i'm after...

I want an easy way to attach the gold kind of light thingy (technical term alludes me) to a sturdy base... Like a block of wood... Preferably by using the threads it has to screw in to a standard lamp pole...

Because right now i just have it hanging by hemp cord tied around the part that is supposed to be screwed in... Yep im gheto... =]

This way i can either hang it or set it on the ground to promote shortened growth... So im thinking hanging till its time to flower then place them around the base for flowering...

Any hoo thats why i want to see how you attached yours to the cardboard or whatever it is you have the movable ceiling made out of...

On another note one of my sprouts are twisting one of its leaves too... I originally planted them in very shallow soil to allow for possible stretching that way i could just add soil on stretch... Witch i have done... So im guessing the root hitting bottom might be cause for this...

Man i need to learn to be more brief and to the point... Long winded again... =0

FYI.. I'm just about a week behind you... Germ on the 13th... =]
