Hosted on Imageshack. They do it by having a smaller picture be a URL to the larger picture. If HTML was allowed it would be very easy, but HTML is dangerous for forums.

I'll be watching this log, looks good :thumbsup:
Nice move sealing light out of the rez. You can also put an airstone in your tap water for 24 hours to increase oxygenation and get rid of chlorine and such.

Some pics of the little kiddies... plus the setup in action. First pic is the baby it came out a day or two after it's taller sibling....It hasn't dropped any roots below the bottom of the net cup yet, but it's looking healthy... The second picture shows "stretch" which is I'm guessing the result keeping the lights away while the little one caught up...BUT, Roots are dangling already... many. And Finally the third picture shows my setup... The water falls out of the tub onto the plastic sheeting covering my Rez and naturally funneled to the middle where I've cut a hole for it to return to the Rez... I figured this would keep things properly aerated, but I don't no what y'all think about the water mixture coming into a lit environment, even for a little bit.

TEST. Failed... I still don't get how some people can do the "attached thumbnails."

[CannaGeek]

It is on the bottom of the page on the left side. The Rules are important as sometimes they say things like
Attachments - Off
[IMG] - OFF

So you can't attach a file, and you can't embed images in the post. But in your case, just attachments are off. Admins toggle the on off things like this. HTML is always off by the way (can lead to viruses in picture files and such).

Thank you Canna. I think I've figured it out.

My patience is being tested, I seem to remember things growing faster in dirt... I have to maintain it daily and that's probably the reason for my increased awareness of the slow growth of the newborns. Oh well.

The plants are still green throughout... stems included. Tall plant is growing mad roots...Shorter plant is developing a two sets of it's 2nd "true leaves." I wonder what's going on there... It's been a while since I've seen plants, so bear with me.


My question still stands on whether I should use 2 cool whites right now, or one of each warm+cool?

there gonna have a growth explosion soon, just watch, and if you do it right your plants will look way more luscious then dirt grown

That sounds great!! I can't wait to see how well this setup works... Hopefully I can just stay with the fluorescents and keep it simply. I like the Hydroponics, "working water" Seems so easy. The Ph seems to have settled to around 6.5 so I added a couple gallons of fresh water (since I had lost some volume) and brought it all down to around 6.0.
