My First Grow - AK47 in a Bloombox

OK, I got a BC Bloombox and some Serious AK-47 seeds. I germinated the seeds and put them in rockwool under a clone dome. I have a few questions...

1. How long should I keep the dome on top of the tray?

2. When should I start giving them nutrients and not just ph balanced water?

3. Should I still have a warming pad underneath the tray?
(I don't anymore but when I did they seemed to like the humidity)

4. My sprouts are turning kind of a purple/red color, is this OK?

This is my first time growing and I would really appreciate some feedback. :peace:

Thanks for the quick reply. 9 out of 10 seeds have sprouted up and the tenth is on its way so I'll take the dome off. If anyone has any pointers for growing AK47 or even growing in a BC Bloombox I would really appreciate the help. Widowman this chonger's for you!!! :joint:

ak can handle heavy nutes and cool temps,they are a hardy strain and really branch out,gyou dont even need to top them but it helps i think.

If anyone needs to know how to reprogram the timers, on any of the boxes, to switch photoperiods; it is as follows:

· Reprogramming a V1 (blue button) GroSmart
  • Hit ESC.
  • Use the up/down arrows to select STOP, hit OK, and then confirm YES to STOP PROG.
  • Use the up arrow key to go to PARAMETER, hit OK.
  • The first screen B02 will be the morning water (you can verify this by seeing the on time of 8:45 and off time of 8:50.
  • Hit the right arrow button to move to the vegetation schedule, in most cases it will be B11.
  • Hit the right arrow button a second time to move to the flower schedule, in most cases it will be B14.
  • Use the up/down left/right arrow keys to put the cursor over top of the ON time, and hit SEL.
  • Use the up/down left/right arrow keys to select the new ON time.
  • Press OK to save the ON time.
  • Use the up/down left/right arrow keys to put the cursor over top of the end time, and hit SEL.
  • Use the up/down left/right arrow keys to select the new OFF time, and hit SEL.
  • Use the up/down left/right arrow keys to select the new OFF time.
  • Press OK to save the OFF time.
  • Hit ESC to go back to the main menu.
  • Use the up/down arrows to select RUN, hit OK, and then confirm YES to RUN PROG.
  • Hit ESC to go back to the main screen.
· Reprogramming a V2 (green button) GroSmart
  • Hit OK.
  • Use the up/down arrow keys to select Parameter.
  • The cursor should be blinking in the upper right hand corner on T0.
  • Hit OK.
  • Use the left arrow key to select the T, and then hit the up arrow key until the T changes to a @.
  • Use the right arrow key to select the 0, and then hit the up arrow once so that the top corner reads @1. (@0 is the veg time, @1 is the flower time)
  • Hit OK.
  • Use the down arrow key to move the cursor to the ON time, and press OK.
  • Using the left/right up/down arrow keys, change the values to your new ON time.
  • Hit OK.
  • Use the down arrow key to move the cursor to the OFF time, and press OK.
