Well, it appears I've managed to sprout some seeds. :dance: Four out of the original 6 that I started with, have sprouted. (To be fair, I threw one away that was beginning to sprout, due to room in the garden - only four spots). It appears that I may have added nutrients a little too soon. The bottle did say that I could start with a nutrient schedule during the seedling stage. Three of the four plants have some yellowing on the tips, and from what I've read, I believe this to mean nutrient burn? So, do I dump the water now, or let it ride until the first water change - in about a week? When adding nutrients, I followed the mixing instructions exactly - not full strength at this point.

Deejay, those plants look nice! Amazing that they were done with a shop light. I am using a T5 with 4 6500k bulbs. I'm going with the 24 hour schedule for now. This is one of those things which I have seen many opinions about. I will switch to a 12/12 schedule for flowering. But, for now, unless someone can make a good case for switching during this stage, I'm going to give this a try. The reason I am using this schedule, is a faster vegetative cycle. I'm on a race for something to sample during my vacation at the end of December. I realize it won't have time to cure properly. I just plan to take a sample and cure the rest.

Update pictures attached ..... First one is the overall garden. The remaining are individual shots, starting with the top left, and moving counter-clockwise.

I spent the last month just reading up on the postings here, as well as some magazines I picked up at a local hydro store. This board was the most helpful, and I hope to repay that help with a grow report which I hope helps at least one other person out. During this time, I'm sure I will ask for assistance from some of you out there, and I hope that I am Rating: 5
