So... Let me start off by saying "I've never grown without dirt"...LOL Starter plugs are not familiar to me and out of my 12 bag seeds, 2 yes 2 finally gave me something green to look at.... But 2 is better than nothing, and I can finally be grateful for all the seedy shit I've been buying for the last couple of years. I think I've grasped the plugs though, lots of attention.

The two babies are approx. 2 inches tall and I decided to throw them into the net cups with hydroton keeping them up. They are sprayed with tapwater that has been ph'd to approx. 6. every 3 hours for 30 minutes... no nutes yet. First true leaves are deployed and they are looking to give me a couple more... Green is throughout. Stems are a little purple. I currently have 2 tubes (1 warm, w cold) on a 18/6 schedule which I decided to go with just because it's cheaper than 24/7 and I haven't heard any definitive closure in that argument.

I will eventually have 10 4' tubes by the time flowering comes about. For now I have 2 tubes maybe 3-4 inches above tops of the siblings...It's a little warm, but i have a fan softly blowing through the "foliage" :O) My question is, should I go with all cool tubes right now? And if that's the case... Should I go with all cool tubes until flowering and then warm? Or, is a mixture with maybe a periodically changed ratio an ideal setup?
