First and foremost, MUCHAS gracias to the people that helped me get this going. My mother area is down to 2 varieties, and Iā??m finding it hard to get stoned. Iā??m hoping that mixing it up a bit will help.

Iā??ve got 8 new varieties of seeds planted. Some are in seedling soil, mixed with 20% perlite and 3% vermiculite. Some are in a mix of half perlite and half vermiculite. I hope some sprout. So as to not put all my eggs in one basket, Iā??ve put them in a variety of conditions (I guess 6). All seeds were planted about 1/4 inch deep, and the containers were flooded with water mixed with a few drops of Thrive Alive, and PHā??d to 6.7. Nothing was done to the seeds, except the Church seed, which was scuffed up a bit with 150 grit sandpaper, mostly along the ridges.

The plants in the flowering closet are in with some clones I just started the day before. To start, theyā??re on 24 hr lighting consisting of one 26 watt 5800K CFL, about 18 inches above. I have a heat lamp and thermostat in case temperatures drop below 74, but havenā??t wired it yet since it hasnā??t been cold here the past few days. Temps in the closet have been around 80, humidity around 40. The laser thermometer says that the surface of the dirt plants are 76, and the surface of the perlite/vermiculite plants are 74.

In the mother closet all plants are on a heat pad, which stays about 92. The air temp is 86, and the surface of the soil not in the dome is 76, while the surface of the mix is 74. The plants in the humidity dome are a different story. The floor of the dome is 102, and the surface of the soil is 92, and the surface of the mix is 90. Does anyone know if thatā??s too hot? I read on the web that most seeds in general like to germinate in soil between 68 and 90.

I think it will be interesting to see how the results from all the different environments compare. I find it interesting that the surface of the soil is consistently 2 degrees warmer than the surface of the perlite/vermiculite mix. Does anyone know why this is? Is this simply because the soil is darker, and will remain warmer like anything black out in the sun, as opposed to white? Or does it have something to do with the portion of peat that comes with the seedling soil, kinda like a compost heap can get hot, and even catch fire?

Dad gummit, how the heck can you post a simple table, or copy and paste something that was composed with using the tab button? OK, so I guess I have to make the table with a spread sheet, print screen that into photoshop, crop, and save for web. There. If you're seeing it at less than 100% some of the lines dissapear.
