Well,well,well. I leave RIU for a while and guess whos growing when i come back.Congrats on the new addition coming onto you and your wifes life.As passionate as you are about these plants I cant imagine how much dedication you will put into rasing a child.

Now, the setup looks siick. Baby heath setup. Ive been thinking of doing a vertical setup and going back to hydro for some time now.Been running soil last few times around.Total shock that i see you starting from seed,kinda like watching the birth instaed of adopting....lol.

Once again congrats and ill burn one in your honor.

Good to see you again miztaj.

ALso... good news everybody. I had been begining to think I messed up somehow on the seeds as nothing had changed at all since putting them in the rockwool. But this morning I looked and there are two of them just starting to peak up. Looks like a bent stem showing... WOOOO HOOOO. One DOG and one TRP. That's really good news too becuase those TRP seeds are more than 2 years old. Fantastic.

Let's hope they all peep out soon.

Merry Christmas... or rather Boxing day now.

peace

hey jig, this setup looks super simple but at the same time it looks like you'll be able to grow some monsters. does each cup have a water supply or is it just pumping to the top and gravity takes care of the rest? i like this setup and i'm getting a few ideas from it.

The water is pumped into the top and it flows down the tubes back to the tub. I have put dams in to keep the water level at about 1.5" or so. I am going to have an airpump making bubbles in the tank to help oxygenate the water. The waterfall effect should help that too when it dumps back in.

Thanks tdog. Yeah, I give all credit to Heath for this setup. With a little help from my friends for other inspiration.

DST, Had a great Christmas day and Boxing day. Hope all's well there.

My seedlings are going along great. So far 4 little ones are showing leaves. And two more are poking their little stems out. Counting the stems popping out, we have 3 TRP's, 1 NY-47, a DOG (og x headband), and a Headband. I'm thinking about maybe seeing who's male and bringing them along... making some seeds of my own.

Awesome to see your seeds are coming along Jig.
I'm hoping to be starting the construction of my flooded tube vert at the new place soon and will post some pics when I do.

Aw, bless, little YIN's!!!

I just looked at your flags and though, smart idea Jig, DST you are a numpty, lol. I am re-writing my flags every other day as the ink is running, should have covered them in cellotape/scotsh tape......the simplest ideas are the best ones.

All is well ,great day had by all.

Peace to you and Mrs Jig,

Looking forward to the pics Dez.

And D... thanks for the well wishes. Glad I could hook you up with the tape idea. Funny stuff.

Now there are 13 of the 14 seeds standing tall with tiny little green leaves (or whatever they are called at this point). Question for yall... what do I do now? haha. Do I take off the dome and let them have the light. Should I lower the light slightly? Should I start seeing roots popping out the bottom soon? This is all new to me. I got them this far, wouldn't want them to die now. Oh, and just to share, the only stragler is 1 of the 3 Timewarps. The other 2 are good, so I figure the 3rd will be too... he or she is just lagging behind.

I'm not an expert but I have been taking the dome off once they are standing up and I haven't a problem with doing it. I've been waiting until I see root(s) out the bottom before putting them into soil/hydroton too which has only taken a few days so far (3-5). It seems to just be a single root that pops out with seeds for me mostly.

this is the same way i handle my seedlings. once they show roots i put the rapid rooter all the way on the bottom of the grow basket and fill it with hydroton as it grows.

And you dont have a long way left for me to call you silly to. I am curently building this system you guys have and hoping to get it upp soon. Really sorry to hear abaout your uborn child it must have been hard. Things like that is never easy, it made me sad:(

Hello again
I have only grown fr.o.m. Seeds so far and Yours are stretching. À tip wouldbe to buy small cfl lights and put them close to your plants to avoid that. There is à company called north they sell 5 15w cfl for 10dollars i would use them foe the first 7-10 days. And you dont need the dome eny more just make sure your humidety is over 45%
plus dont chock the plants when removing the dome take it of for 6h and put it back 6h then remove it forever

I just saw your cfl tube move it mutchcloser to the plants maybe 1-2cm over the tops
