First time grow question

Hello all,

I'm a long time lurker, first time poster and have started my first grow attempt.

I have a question that I havn't seen an answer to, before I ask my question here's a little info on how I'm doing it.

I germinated my seeds using the paper towel method, between 2 plates and sitting on a heating pad set to low.

The seeds popped after about 24 hours, all 4 with 1-2 mm tails. I transplanted them into a home made bubbler using rapid rooter as my medium with distilled water and 1 drop of Superthrive.

The bubbler is a 1 gallon sterilite tub (bottom painted black) with a clear dome over it (same 1 gl tub bottom), with a Tetra whisper air pump, a 10 inch bubble bar and a Marineland 25 submersible aquarium heater set to 70 degrees. Under a 42 watt CFL.

The rapid rooters are set about 1/8-1/4 inch into the water and the seeds are set about 3/8 inch into the rapid rooters.

My question is; how long should I expect it to take until I see the seedlings crack the surface of the rr's? It's been 2 days and I'm sure its too early but being a noob I'd like to know what to expect.

Thanks in advance.

I would say give it anywhere from a few days to maybe even 2 weeks. Good Luck:jointsmile:
Also umm if you dont have anymore lights. Get some more CFLs and some Y adapters. You will need more light than that pretty soon.

You should see your seedlings pop in 3-4 days

Hey guys,

Thanks for the quick responses, hopefully it will be closer to 3-4 days but I'll be patient and start to worry after a few weeks.

Killer I'm going to switch them to my new stealth cab aero system with a 600 watt mh bulb when I get roots, I'm just not done building it yet so I put it under the CFL to get a lil humidity going. The cab will be done over the weekend and I'm planning to use the bubbler for clones.
