Attached are the last pics of the first set. Night one...

I am still not sure what to set the light on. I will do some research... I also need to put a fan in the closet. I will do it before the plants get any heat.

I have the second bucket awaiting germinating seeds...

i dunno how big u plan on letting these plants get but your roots are gonna be cramped and will probably kill eachother. i see u have a couple plants per bucket, those buckets are good for one full size plant.

Well, at this time there are actually 4 plants in the 1 bucket. I plan on starting 4 in the other as well. I actually have 12 germinating.

I intend to do as I have always done in my veggie garden, which is to narrow them down as they come up depending on the best looking. I also don't know sex and they are bagseeds... I hope to have 4 plants going (2 in each pot) and I would rather be root bound with 2 plants in each than have 2 plants total and they both turn out male...

I did use all seeds of darker color with black lines all over them. A few of them were quite large that are in the next batch... We will see:)

Of the 4 I have started, the runt has the thickest stem. I will probably keep it and.... HMMMM.... Its tough to decide who goes.... Lets see who impresses me. The runt could still go to slaughter if necessary!

Oh, just using tap water with dechlorinator. Pros and Cons anyone???

My first impression is that it is very dry in the closet. The leaves want to pull up towards the center (not curl on the edges). The light is at about 20 inches. I have turned everything off for the night. Except the pumps.

After the light being off for about 5 hours, the leaves flattened back out.

I have turned the light back on with the closet door open.

I am going to see my local guy today to get some supplies... and ask a few more questions. I am afraid of burning them up...

At this point, I need: Temp and Humidity meter, PH Down, FAN, Another bag of the round rocks, lock for door, light blocker for door opening...

Only 2 of the 4 plants will I keep in this bucket.

I am leaning towards the two shorter ones with the thicker stalks...

It should be several days before I have to decide.

I think I have decieded to split the 4 plants I have now into the two buckets. It will still give me my desired total of 4 growing, it will eliminate plant overcrowding, nutrient mix issues, and more. If I move them tonight, it should be in plenty of time to avoid having to move the tap roots as they are just out of the rockwool cubes. I am really just trying to get at least one female... Surely 1 of the 4....

I wanted to add that the other strain or whatever, that I am NOT going to grow, I have decided is not near as good of quality as what I have growing. Comparing apples to Apples so to speak...

they seem to be stretching for the light. What kind of light do you have and how far away is it?

i also use the GH nutes.......

other then organic (fox farm in specific)

these are the best in my opinion

use their foliar spray, i think its called "chi" or something????

Thanks guys for the info...

The stretching is due to prior to going under the light. I started the seed in the window in the rockwool cubes before I put them under the light.

I have started a new thread that I will try to include more pics and less babble... Check it out for more pics.

THANKS FOR THE INPUT!
