So this is officially my first grow journal..very excited at the moment as the seeds have been germinating for a few hours now.
Anyways, here's the setup. I have a 30 gallon rubbermaid tote with lid. I have cut two 9x9 holes in said lid, and two net pots sit in those holes. I have a water pump from my local fish store meant for a decorative fountain that sits in the tote. There is a hose connected to said water pump going straight up, through a third hole in the lid, then comes to a T. There is a 10 inch hose connected to each outlet of the T going straight over the net pots through the middle. There are about 8 slits cut in each hose so that there is a slow drip. About 3-5 drips every ten seconds or so. All hoses are black, initially got clear but then found out about algae haha. I have a thermometer in and out of the reservoir. I have 10 gallons of distilled water in there now, with the pump running, net pots 3/4 full of hydroton that had been rinsed off with ph6 water. I also have an air pump with two outlets, running through a small hole in the lid to two 5 inch air stones. I will be moving the seeds to rockwool, 2x2x2 cubes, when they start to show taproot. The rockwool will then sit in a mini greenhouse type thing I got from walmart for $10. Will leave them in there, under the light, for 7-10 days, then transplant into hydroton. I have two little clip fans in there to blow air around and on the plants. As for lighting, I got a sweet deal on a 135w lighthouse hydro: blackstar LED, guy told me he never used it, only $50. Found the same one on amazon for 180. Thats the whole reason I set this up haha
A picture of the set up will be attached soon.
As for the seeds, I received them after 6 business days from marijuana-seeds.nl, very satisfied. Used their "stealth" shipping, spendy but worth it.
Anyways I got northern lights, and placed four of them into a shot glass half full of ph6 water. I then realized I didnt wash my hands..and had just smoked a cig 5 mins earlier. Just in case I washed my hands and set 4 more germinating. My hope is at least 4/8 will germinate, and then 2 of those 4 will be female. Just playing the waiting game now.
Also have 8 blocks of rockwool soaking in ph6 water, just in case they all germinate.
Any comments are greatly appreciated! I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing except for what I've read. Noob alert heh
