Germ update:
-Big Bud: Last two beans popped and were planted. I was all stoned though and busted the taproot off the shell. Broke my little raisin sized heart. Still wanting to grow though.
-Chocolate Chunk: Last 6 chunkies ready to rock.
-Wonder Woman: 1 bean popped, Hooray! Not particularly impressed.

Temps running in mid to lo 80's. Air recycled frequently. I have no way of testing humidity though, as i live in a third world country. Hell, the thermometer i have i had to pull out of a water thermometer for a pool. Should I be misting since i have no way to check rH?

Day 3:
Germ Update:
-Northern Lights- 1 more germed and planted.
-Nothing more from wonderwoman. late bloomers i suppose.

Grow Update
- One of the blueberry's taproot managed to curl and pop up above the soil. When i re-adjusted her the shell popped off the tap. :cry: similar to the big bud i manhandled.
-The big bud i manhandled is still rooting though and popped above the soil today. Any input on if these girls will still do alright please let me know.....

anyway here's some photos in alphabetical order by strain. bigbd, blub, choc, northern, og 18 , sorry no wonderwomans yet

When do you experienced growers recommend i throw these girls under the MHs?

yea i was pretty pissed when feminized DP Blue seeds showed up at my door. I had actually ordered regulars. So whatev, if they herm ill just pull the plant. What was the ratio of herms to fems before they seeded your crop?

Just got done setting up the GroLab 290 (9ftx9ftx6ft), and I must say..... it is the shit! Kind of a pain in the arse to set up by yourself, especially with only 1/2 a foot of leeway on all four sides.

Anyone have any suggestions on when i should switch the girls from cfl to MH?
