haha this is my first grow indoors... I grew some bud when I lived out on maui... but it was outdoors and grew itself... all I did was trim from time to time to get the bottom leaves off that were dieing... but yea... so here is what I have...I ordered and received 10 blue mystic seeds from Nirvana( great job! stealthy shipping and fast... 10 days from holland to AZ) anyways... I am growing these all in an aeroponics environment. 5 gal buckets with hydroton and ph'd water to 5.9-6.0. the buckets hold 3.10 gallons of water to get to the bottom of the net pots. air pumps push bubbles of air and water right up and splash on the bottom of the hydro balls to keep everything nice. I bought 4'' rockwool cubes with the plugs , a standard shop flouro t12 that is 48''( good for now untill the t5 gets here) I germinated the seeds in paper towels over night starting on 1/31, as of 2/2, every last seed had popped and I planted them in the plugs for the rockwool cubes. OH, I soked the cubes and the plugs for 2 mins with ph'd water and a VERY diluted root stim. When I say Diluted I mean 1 ml per quart of water.
lets see.... sorry.. this afgoo has me spacing out right now lol.... um.. ok....
so we are two days into it so far and the seedlings are just now starting to poke through the top of the rockwool... good signs! I looked at all of the seedlings and they are starting to root into the rockwool plugs already :) um....oh and I have a 600w hps tube on its way with a digital balast and glassed in hood and air cooled. . also runs mh as well. I just have to get the bulb if i want it to be mh... which I found a really good one at the one and only hydro store here in southern az and its not priced bad at all..
I will post some progression pics of another plant I have going... it is a mystery plant... a friend of mine had a match box with some seeds that he had collected and got some shwag seeds mixed with some chron seeds... I say chron or chronic because I hate how everyone calls it "Dro"... "dro" is slang for a technique lol.... hyDROponics....oh well... im off my soap box. but yea... feel free to comment.
