First grow with Baby Bloomer and 250 hps in closet.

I was wondering if I should use the 1" or 4" airstones or 2 per pump etc... The room is still in the setting up phase, I've got most of the gear I need. Right now I'm prepping the space. I'm still scoping out potential clones or seeds, so right now I'm just putting a system together. It'll be starting soon though. I'll keep you posted.

I'm leaning towards some Bubblegum, because that's what might be available to me. Anyone have any experience with this strain?

[gitarzan]

I'm trying a germination experiment with some old genetic material I found in my desk. I'm not going to use any of the seedlings unless they seem superior,as it goes against my plan. Just want to see what I can do. I'm using some rockwool cubes soaked in water overnight with a propagation dome a heating pad. wish me luck. it's been a couple of days and none so far...

Yeeaay! I'm a daddy of at least two tomato plants. I'm a proper propegator! Now I feel like smoking a cigar!

[mrabrego]

I felt like a father when i found out which of my plants were girls.

[gitarzan]

yes indeed, well here's the update. One of the seedlings came through the rockwool upside down so I gently, plucked it out of the rockwool and put it back right side up. I hope it makes it. I put the two sprouts under my light. If they make it hell yeah! if not, no worries as I was planning on using some clones.

There seems to be life coming from some of the other rockwool cubes as well. They were from the back of my drawer! I half expected them to do nothing. I can't wait to have delicious veggies!

i hope you do know that they sprout seed part up

[gitarzan]

yup. I got one with the husk still on the top which I GENTLY removed, and the other one had the husk in the bottom with the ass sticking out. I GENTLY took it out and reverted it so that the little round greenish/yellow leaves would be up. They've been under the lights all night and don't look any worse for the wear so far.... I added a small touch of the nutrient solution at about an eight strenght and just give 'em a little at a time. I'm hand watering them until they get some roots and then I'll have to really get ph and tds pens and power up the ebb and flow.

[gitarzan]

They're overwatered. Oh well. I'll try and not water for a while or just ditch'em for something better.

[gitarzan]

Ditched em. Propagation techniques were sucky to say the least. I'm going to take a break for a while cause I'm moving. I won't have the time to get anything finished. Oh well. Maybe one day.
