Day 3, approx 53 hours and we have 100% germination....result!

ive got to say that was quicker than previously, especially as the seeds looked smaller than average and quite pale...i was expecting atleast one faliure....but im certainly not complaining.
today they were transplanted into peat pots and put in a heated propigator, which i purchased earlier, as the weather has got a definate chill in the air now with the onset of winter.

they will rely on natural light for the next week or so, and once they have a reasonable set of "true" leaves, will go under the 400watt grolux HPS, which will be set at max height, about 6-7 feet above the plants.
at this point i will remove the lid on the propigator depending on the temp situation.
I was struggeling to keep heat down on my previous grow with the heatwave we had in the UK, but i think the heat from the HPS will be most welcome this time round.

my inline fan is quite powerfull, so if it starts sucking out too much warm air i may have to buy another slightly more sophisticated timer, so i can have one hour on, one off or what ever is suitable to maintain temps.

so far so good....more updates as they happen
