After months of lurking on the site and alot of reading and a few failed attempts at it I've finally decided to make a grow journal !
One plant grow
Strain : Royal Medic from Royal Queen Seeds ( said to have high amounts of CBD hence the Medic in the name )
CFL lights: Got a base for 9 bulbs so .. wattage will be set as it grows..
DWC 3.2 Gallon Tub for now
Nutrients: GH flora series and nothing else
Extraction :2 X 3" computer fan's ( no filter's )
Intake : Passive with net for catching the dust
Air Pump: deliver's about 5 LPM with two airstones
3.5" net pot with clay pebbles and rockwool for seed
So.. I've All ready started the grow..
the Seed was set to soak on Monday ,Tuesday was put in rockwool and by Wensday it's cotyledon's where out !
I fiddled around with it a bit while in the rockwool and managed to snap the very end of the tap root :/
but it's still growing and got about 10 more new root coming out so i think it's gonna be allwright
apart from that I tared the rockwool in two so tha roots have a easier way of getting by.
Enough said here's a photo of today (day 5 )

Nice set up so far. What cycle are you useing? How long are you going to veg? What lights are you useing?
Sorry mate i have heat problems with DWC due to climate ... so i switched to a coco coir mix.. which is better for hot climates
maybe i'll start a new thread
As for cycle i go with 18/6 cause of heat and mainly for power concuption..
Lights are Cool white 6400K Osram 23W CFL's with 1430 lumens per bulb for veg
Don't know how long i'm gonna veg for ..I guess until i'm able to fim or top and give it some training lol !
peace
