so here goes, just about under a week into it here and all is well. this is the first time ive had the success of germinating and growing 2 simultaneously. past 2 attempts all of my seedlings had gotten soggy and died leaving me with one that i successful grew into a big old male, so ugly.
first attempt had small air pump from walmart and one 5" bubblerock along with stock AG bubbles, just been using nute tabs included in the starter kit, and 8-14 different kelvin cfl's at different times.
next try was same results, male....
this time i've got my hands on a newer bigger air pump with 2 ports instead of 1, as well as supposed, "feminized" seeds from a good friend who is trustworthy. same lights but this time with a fan to keep em cool and blow around a lil
so i germinated 3 in paper towels and 2 sprouted about 2 inches or so. what i then did was cut the AG sponges down the one side like a hot dog bun. placed the root down in there and dropped em down into the baskets. i also, just for kicks, tossed a 3rd basket down in the water in another hole with some cotton ball in to act as medium and see how it would react. after 7 days the cotton was still clean and white, and appears to be suitable alternative as a medium, will try next go
just over a week old, kept veg lights real close for 4 days or so, just raised up gradually over the past few days here.
Thank you for dropping by, i will try to update weekly. i more than appreciate ALL input and or questions please! this site has taught me so much over the past years and i want to thank every knowledgeable person in here for taking time to create this great resource.
