Hey guys, n gals.
Not aiming at the 'best of the best' set ups, I constructed an en-closure from some stuff I had laying around.
May as well write my 'Step by step' -
I started off with germination of course, Using the paper towel method. Leaving the seeds between 4-6 layers of moist paper towels in an open container, in a desk draw.
Few days past, 5/09/09 (or 09/05/09 for you Americans
) the seeds were planted into co-co/rock wool. Placed in to my enclosure where I was running only a 2x 18w (2x 90w incandescent) fluorescent above the 4 planted seeds. (I know it is hardly enough light but it was all I had laying around, giving it ago for no reason, out of the blue). I water them once everyday or two depending whether they need it or not, with a spray bottle. I started off with 24hrs of lights, but today I got a timer and have started 18/6.
I haven't taken much pictures before today (day 19 since planted), they are still small but look healthy and growing well. I've moved the fluorescent over and added a 48w (240w incandescent) compact light. Give them their first amount of nutes at half strength today also. See how they go. I'm not aiming at a big yield thus just growing out of plain interest/experiment/boredom.
Pictures at day 19 -
I know their small but what do you guys think? Are they OK for the amount of days they have been growing under only 2x 18w Fluorescent? etc etc...
My mate did his own little dodgy soil setup (same seeds planted same day etc) under some lights, stretched much? lol. Cable ties FTW. I'm not sure if he can do anything for them now? they look as if their going to die. Over watered/under watered, cause of stretching, other causes... I'm not sure. Thoughts?
Thanks.
