Ckrogue's 2nd grow, hopefully perpetual now.

Recently moved in to a apartment and I feel safe enough to start what will hopefully be something perpetual. I did a single closet grow with about 120~ watts of CFL in my closet about a year ago and got 21g dried. Well now I finally have the room to do what I want.

What I have to start out:

VEG: 100W 10,000 Lumen HO T5 (Tek Two) from HTG. Both bulbs are 6500k and that will be for my veg chamber, which is about 3'x19"x30". I plan to have 3-5 mothers and 20+ clones at a time, I will add more lighting and more than likely a larger area in the near future. I am having some temp issues with the door closed, any recommendations on something I could do. I could add another fan on the top portion for an exhaust but I'd have to figure out how to mount it and find one that would be small enough yet move enough air :S

FLOWER: 250W HPS, I forget the lumens currently. I am going to be making a flower tent, about 5 or 6'x4'x7-10'. I still need to figure out how I am going to cool the tent, and what I am going to do about smell. I am hoping to be able to find a inline fan that isn't ridiculously loud seeing as I am in an apartment and just get a carbon filter + onagel. I will be upgrading to a 600W within a few harvest.

Seeds:
1 Trainwreck Bag seed
1 Wold of Seeds Pakistan Valley Fem


I started germing the TW seed about 5 days ago and it is already about an inch tall with its 1st true set of leaves. This thing if rediculous, the tap root was about the thickness of the small end of a chop stick only 3 days after being thrown in a bag using the paper towel method to germ. By far the most vigorous seeds I have ever germed in the past 7 years of smoking and just fucking around. I am really hoping to make this a mom but since it's bag seed it may end up being a male but I am definitely going to keep some pollen off it if it is for future purposes just because of the vigor.

As for the Pakistan Valley, it has been germing for about 3 days now and has yet to crack. I have only had about 3 out of the past 50-60 not crack for me in the past so I'm hoping this one will just be a little late. I've had some take up to 7 days to finally crack.

Here are some pics of what I am working with currently

Day 3


Day 4

Sup guys, noticed quite a few views, no comments or anything but I guess I gotta wait until I post some good bud porn. So far it has been about 9 days, the Trainwreck is looking great, today it started to look slightly wilty but I'm pretty sure it is due to the mess of roots that has grown in the past few days. I finally was able to get some Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil, which is my preferred growing medium, but I like to put about a inch or so of hydroton at the bottom of the pot, I felt it made the soil hold water better because water tends to go right through w/o hyrdoton, or I am assuming perlite would would in the same sense.

I also came upon about another 8 seeds, but 2 or 3 are kind of immature so they probably won't germ. Other than that, nothing new. BTW I am also open to any questions, I am definitely not anything near what some of the others are here but I have been reading from the best for too long now.

I hope to get my flower tent set up in the next few weeks, for the first go around it will just be a custom built PVC/Mylar abomination that should work for a month or so until I can afford the higher quality material at the HTG supply near me and build a nice one.


QUESTION: PLEASE HALP

One question I do have is I germmed the Pakistan Valley (from World of Seeds) and she cracked, but a tap root did not fully emerge, I am thinking she won't make it. If anyone knows of anything I could try as a last resort before just trying a starter plug, any help would be appreciated.
