Noob looking for critique on grow room set up

[Novie]

All looks very good...I like it. And not to sound like "but", but the room itself has a suspicious look. Lock that puppy up tight.

Ah cool so not too long... lol I just started up a new batch, 0% germination on 40 seeds after 8 days so i'm leaving them where they are for a couple days more b4 chucking 'em out.

sad times

That sucks!

I used the paper towel method, and kept my seeds warm with a space heater (80-85 degrees). Are you keeping your warm? Also... 40 seeds! Woah!!

She's locked up tight... The room already existed in my house though... so it wouldn't be a surprise to anyone that has been in my house before.

Oh and I grow organic so to answer your questions...not familiar with those type of nutrients. I use compost/sheep shit mixed with high grade organic soil. Then I supplement with liquid organic fertilizers, seaweed etc...as for pots, I grow seedlings in organic mesh pots about the size of a small cup. These pots break down when planted in larger pots or the ground. This way I am not really transplanting because I never take the plant out of its container...the container just breaks down. I plant one hundred at a time this and then thin them out to 50 as time goes on depending on their rate of growth and health. The 50 theoretically turn to 25 once females have been chosen. This is probably not a choice way as you buy you seeds and every one counts...I only buy once a year for breeding stock and have seeds of plenty from doing this for a few years. ANYWAY, organic or not...break down seedling pots are the bomb. Good luck

I'm not sure your location. States and what state or Canada but most garden stores and sometimes Home Depot will sell bio-degradable pots. If your are in another part of the world then I'm not sure...but they are fairly common. Upon watering they dissolve over a time period of about 30 days. So I plant seedlings in a small one of these and then I "transplant" ( which is not really a transplant because they never get pulled from a pot) into a big pot or directly into the ground if the season is right. No mess, no fuss, stress free.
