First Grow *Afghan*

Okay so i have a 100% germination rate and i placed the beans in 1.5 inch Rockwool cubes and and put the lights down over the dome. Now I am concerned though because my veg cabinet is made of particle board because it was a dresser i gutted and it seems to be getting pretty hot even with the black plastic door down but not velcrowed...i dont have a fan in there thats why its open. but im wondering if i should velcro it shut and keep it hot or leave it the way it is? Other than that everything has been good. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!

ps. i will post pics once i get them on a website from my hard drive.

you need to get some pc fans or some type of exhaust. that will help to keep your cab cool.

as far as your babies, they need to be warm, but not hot. 80-85 is acceptable for a couple of days, but you'll need to get it down in the 70's once they start growing.

for now, i'd say leave it open.

Hey thanks for the advice! Im keeping the door open during the day when im at work and just hanging closed when im sleeping.

Nothing new to write about today as far as growth though...

just don't let them get too hot....

No new developement...sprouts should be noticable when i get home from work tomorrow. Got my HPS fired up today thanks to a good friend! The flowering closet is 99% complete, just gotta run my exhaust and intake and it will be ready!

Some new growth today...sprouts are just barely starting to show out of the RW cubes, so within the next few days they will be in the bubbler buckets. Pretty excited to finally get everything going!

Seems that the roots are growing faster then the first set of leaves? well pre leaves. which is probably not a bad thing but they are just now starting to show out of the top of the cube...is this normal for them to take a while or am i doing something wrong? the cubes are saturated with water and i mist the dome when i wake up and when i get home from work.

You don't want them to stay saturated or else they will rot on you. Let them dry out a bit

ya they already rotted out on me...so i threw them out and im taking a different approach...mother in dirt, takin clones to determine sex

Making mistakes is the best way to learn

ya never usin rockwool again...
