Yup, fluid. The bagseed has a week on the AK to its right which has about a week on the rest of the sprouts.
damn! that ak caught up fast. I'm curious to see how the bagseed stands up to the other genetics. I've always grown bagseed because i'm cheap and paranoid, but I've almost got the nerve up to place an order after seeing so many awesome strains on this forum. keep up the good work.
We were in the same boat about ordering. After getting only 1 viable sprout out of 12 bagseeds, we decided to bite the bullet and order. We went through the thread on seed vendors and wrote down the name of each that got a good review. Then we added a tick mark for each additional good review that each received. From what we read, we thought that we would have better luck receiving our order by ordering from Canada rather than from the UK or the Netherlands. Nothing against the overseas vendors. It just seemed logical that fewer red flags would be raised coming from Canada.
Our original plan for this grow was to do bagseed again as a comparison but, alas, it was not meant to be.
As for the individual seed providers, we had read several rave reviews on Joey Weed's products so we went with his Blue Apollo. Jerry Garcia's grow log, re: Blue Apollo, helped cinch that decision. We really didn't know anything about the provider of the AK-47 but decided to give it a shot, no pun intended, based on the low price.
The plants were taking about a 1/2 gallon of water/nutes (for all 10) for each watering. Over that last couple days they are starting to take closer to a full gallon at each watering. The babies are really making nice progress every day. Still using 1/2 strength nutes.
Our new lighting should be here today and be in operation by this evening. We'll post another progress shot tomorrow along with a shot of the new light.
Looking Great McT!
Your logs are always so damned informative and most of the time doesn't give me room to question anything.
But rambling is better than lurking sometimes.

Thanks BeFree.
We got the new light installed tonight. With the bottom of the reflector at 18 inches above the plants, the canopy temp is running about 8 degrees cooler. We'll see how the plants respond to that lamp height and adjust accordingly from there, if needed. Canopy temp is staying within 2 to 3 degrees of the ambient room temp right now.
Since we only have 31.5 inches of width to work with in the tent, we had to fabricate a 6 inch to 4 inch adapter. A regular adapter just made the whole lamp assembly too wide. We taped a couple sticks to the intake end of the reflector to keep the fan from suctioning to the side of the tent.
Here's the latest progress pic and one of the new lighting.
the lamp looks good mctoker. are you going to be training the plants?
Yup. The plan is to LST them.
Nice plants. Ive been using CFL and LST as well. Light hood looks cool and ventilation seems great on this set up!
