Howdy Student,

I just wanted to let ya know,that I'm still holding everything in reserve,until I can git enough money to finish assembling my dwc set-up..the main expense holding me back..is gittin a pump to pump out the solution..I know that I could git one for around 80$..but that's equivalent to 2 weeks worth of groceries..for a poor feller like me...lol.

One thing I wanted to ask ya,is what do you think of germing seeds outside,then bringing them inside ? While germing outside,takes alot longer..doesn't it also produce a a stronger ,healthier plant ? What effect do you think that outside germination would have on plants transferred to the bubbler ? Would I need to germ them inside,in the rockwool cubes,so they would be compatable with the grow rocks and net pots ?

So far,I have observed,that the plants germed outdoors,and brought inside,under a 1kwatt mh,are thriving well,the internodal length,is much shorter,after a few days under the mh,and that when we transfer them outdoors,they start to stretch again. We're trying to conserve electricity,so we have em on a 16/8 schedule..kinda odd..but it does help on the electric bill..lol.

Anyhow..I appreciate greatly,all of your help and I hope to be a good 'student'

Have a good one !
