So I finally got my set up nailed down and after accidently frying my first babies it's time to start again! My set up for germination and seedling area can be found in the grow rooms forum (I'll link it later) as can my tents set up for begging and blooming.
I figured that my big 240 blue/white led was a bit to powerful for my poor seedlings last time and it also made it a tad on the warm side in my humidity dome when put too low down. I decided it would be a better idea to run my 60w blue/white led instead and put it around 30" away from my seedlings. That doesn't muck around with the temp to much from my trials of led distance, and fan speed to temp change.
Anyways on with the log!
Thursday 6th august/2015
-got two seeds in the mail from a new seed bank I ordered from that I had heard good things about. My tent isn't very tall so I went with 7 dwarfs feminized "hercules" and "trojan" seeds as they produce one fat middle growing cola that doesn't get very tall. Both are "Y" x "low Ryder #2" and I'm guessing the low Ryder genes are what keeps it short.
-once I was upstairs with them I cleaned up a work space with h2o2 and pH treated two 1.5" rock wool cubes for 2 hours at pH 5.9. After they were done I poked a 1/4" hole in the center of each one with a modeling knife, and dropped them in with tweezers
-they were put in the humidity dome that was pre conditioned to 78*F and 82%RH and left in the germination closet in the dark
Friday August 7th/2015
-nothing poking out yet
-temp averaged 78*F
-RH% was a constant 82%
Saturday August 8th/210015015
-still no sprouts
-temp averaged 77*F
-RH% averaged 80%
-cubes seemed a bit dry so I dipped them about 1/5th of the way up in water and gave them a gentle shake off
-given a night time mist of pH 5.8 water @ 47ppm

-finally something interesting! Hurray! The Trojan has pushed the rock wool piece I used to cover the seed and is just barely peaking out!!! Awesome! Let's hope the "hercules" cam sprout up soon too! (Sorry if I seem so excited I'm just having a lot of fun doing this! It's really managed to lift me out of a huge depressive cycle I was in this whole building a set up and now this)
-temp 78*F
-RH% 85%
So that's it for now I'll post some pics of my germination area later and pics of where they'll be moving to after!
