Glad to see you found your way here, friend. Hope you stick around for the long haul, haha!
DillWeed's 2009 summer grow journal: Two Lbs. or Bust! (2x1000 watt HPS in grow tent)

- Start date
Dill,
things are looking great. Just started my 25 and about 14 have popped through the soil. I am vegging mine under a 1000 watt and i hope to get my journal and some pics up soon. This is my first true grow so hopefully all goes well. I saw on a previous post that you vegged your big bang and ww til they were about 15-18" tall. I was just wondering about how long that actually took for them to get that tall from seed. Cant wait to see some more pics. Good luck

Thanks for stopping in, friend. I vegged my last grow for about 6 weeks or so. At which time the White Widows were about 18-20 inches tall and the Big Bangs were about 12-14 inches tall. That was done under two 400 watt MH lights and one 400 watt HPS light. I am throwing a 1000 watt HPS in there with the MH lights for weeks 3-4 of vegging this time so we'll see if that helps. Keep us posted on your grow as well and let us know how you're coming along. Looks like we'll both be harvesting around the same time, my friend.

true that and at least you know you are getting what you ordered because they are the only breeders doing that,normal looking seeds sometimes you just dont know what you are getting,i mean that guy sitting at the tude couldnt give a rats arse what you end up with really,Thanks for stopping in, bro! I bought the Greenhouse 10 pack because I figured it was a nice way to be able to try a handful of new strains with one purchase. Plus, I must admit that the root hormoned colored seeds intrigued me just a bit. As far as cloning goes, I haven't done that before either but that is something to aim for on my next grow.
cloning is easy

About half of the kids have popped up to say hello so far and I'm hoping the other half of them do so soon. I fed them all some more filtered water in hopes of coaxing the rest up. I figure by tomorrow we'll have a good idea of how many kids I have for this grow and I will follow up with a photo update.

Hey Dillweed I got my growroom with the flourescents up and going and i was wondering how i can post some pics up on my posts? It's a pretty nice setup and i'm sure you'd like to see this... right now i'm using 8 four ft. T12 for veggin and i'll add four more to flood this room with light. I don't know what strains they are but I'm pretty sure that i'm gonna get some frosty buds when it's all said and done. I won't get the big juicy buds like you get from your 1000 watt hps lights but its gonna be some serious smoke! haha. I hope when i post the pics also you could help me figure out what strains i'm dealing with in the end. thanks bro.

20 out of the 22 seeds have broken soil now. The only two that haven't are both White Rhino plants. I dug down a bit and uncovered them to the point where their seeds heads started so hopefully they will pop up a bit before tomorrow so I can have a perfect 22/22 germination to seedling ratio. That would be great!
Pic 1- Overall shot of the kids with the hydrometer in the background. Current temperature 74.6 degrees Fahrenheit with the humidity at 39%.
Pic 2- Closeup shot of the two Lemon Skunk plants and the two TrainWreck plants. These four seem to be taking off the best.
Pic 3- Shot of the whole scene just before I zipped the tent up for the night.

Have you considered a humidifier to get that rH up a bit?
I bet those seedlings would be even happier around 55-65%
Not that you need my advice! Looking good bro!
Edit: Upon further inspection it looks like you are using clear plastic cups!
I did the same myself, not considering the possibility that algae could grow inside and sure enough it did! I caught it before it caused me major issues, but it did slow my vegging down and caused me to worry my ass off!
I would get some colored cups and put them inside, punch some holes in the bottom of each and tape so no light can get in. I can pretty much guarentee that you will get algae like that, and us FoxFarm users can't just add H2O2 to kill it!

Great stuff dill, dont u just hate starting from scratch? im into flowering and ive already got my new batch of seedling vegging, so once im done with this crop they can go straight into flower! i bet u dont mind coz u have fook loads of bud!!! ship sum my way lmao --- this tym ur using 2000watts! just how many watts did u use last time? i too am growing big bang only the one plant, its 6ft tall and takes up loads of room, just how big did ur big bangs grow? and what was the typical yeild from one big bang? im using 600hps atm even tho i have 2 600's in the room, i was thinking about using the other 600 this week.

Ok well I will defer to your planning. I had algae within 5 days...have you used the clear ones before with no algae?
How long did you leave them in if so?
I really liked the idea of being able to see the roots and the mountains of potentially usuful information I could gain...

That is exactly the reason why I use the clear cups. I have used them in both of my previous grows and have no issues with algae and I don't leave them in there for more than 7-10 days.
