Comparative Grow: from Dutch Passion at The Vault

Update day 12 going smoothly I wish they would grow a little faster they look healthy but for some reason I feel like they have kinda stalled sense my last pictures a tiny bit. Maybe once I transplant this weekend it will spark new growth.

Thx, I signed up for fems. Finished GJ Here: https://www.rollitup.org/t/hair-of-the-cat-all-welcome-to-post-in-the-gj.969146/

Day 17 pics taken just after transplanting, so she looks a bit droopy and bent about. She was about 10 days old before she started to show any real growth above ground from my last pics. She kept at 1 true set of leaves forever!!
I am using a seedling starter cabinet I made last year, never grown a plant full term in it, so a new micro grow adventure for me. I don't think anyone else grows in small cabinets with household led bulbs, so it will be something different for you to look at.
Cabinet specs:
18” wide x 14” deep x 22” high
Pot is 12”x10”x6” - approx 10L of soil - using some clover soil and perlite I had left over from my last grow.
12” from soil to lights, so she is going to get some serious LST to keep her low.
6x10w 6500k household led bulbs with globes pulled off & 1x28w cfl (mainly to help keep temps up in a cold garage, currently at 23-24C). I will probably swap the cfl for a couple more leds when she gets as bit older, and replace the 6500k's with 2700k's. I've used household bulbs in the past and they can literally touch the plants, so I am not concerned about burning leaves.
Lights on 24/0
Home made carbon filter I used to have on my main cabinet. Basically a wooden frame with mesh and a sheet of carbon cooker hood filter front and back, filled with carbon pellets. Hole at back goes direct to external extraction fan. Setup worked with 2 plants for years, so I have no worries about any smell. I replace the pellets every few grows.
Holes at front of cabinet are air intake. I have a false floor with the actual intake at the rear and then I created a light baffle which also allows the airflow to come in from the front rather than in and out at the rear.

Blue Dreamatic from previous comparative just harvested before Christmas. 176 gs grown under 165 watts.

Day 13 looking very good have to transplant in next day or two roots have hit the bottom of cup and starting to get root bound. When I transplant I will put deeper in soil due to a little stretching off the start. My new grow tent comes in today 4×4×60. I will be scrogging for the first time this round. I am going to top at third node but let grow out to about 6 nodes before topping. I will cut off bottom branches then top the 4 remaining branches. Does anyone have any advice on when to top these branches how many nodes should the branches have?

Dropped 3 seeds in some rock wool cubes last night. Here We Go!

Day 14 these need to be transplanted asap so they can explode these cups are holding them back putting up tent and new system today will post pictures

Just received my package, will get them started in about a week. I will update with grow medium and setup soon.

Will be switching to agrobrite 4ft 6tube 54w ho t5s 6700k two separate fixtures for a total of 12 tubes tomorrow for the remainder of veg

Transplanted today putupnew tent got cooling coming in from window. Got 6inch infinity intake fan with carbon filter. 4×4×6 1/2 foot.

Bought this today online any insight on these would be great.

Passion Fruit starting of her New Year.2 Beans cracked and popped a tap 16 hours after being wet.
1 has fully popped the peat pellet,the other is about too. Windowsill germination light for the win!

Mine has popped but has stalled for about a week now. I'm expecting it to grow any time now.

@mmjmon you are growing the photos aren't you. It might be the same thing I had with my auto - it took roughly 10 days before I got a second true set of leaves, slowest starting plant I have ever had, but once she took off she was fine.
I posted pics of when I put mine in a larger pot last friday, looked underneath when watering yesterday and already her roots are well out of the bottom drain holes. Really rapid root growth which hopefully means a good strong plant and a decent harvest down the line.

Hey,
Yes, I'm growing the Passion Fruit photos. Thanks for your encouraging reply. I have had seedlings stall a few times before as well. I've had one die on me before, but others, that stalled, did eventually take off.

I just finished filling out the order form and was wondering if I applied in time? I have a little space left in my newly expanded grow room and would love to give thes a try in my first "legal" grow here in Illinois. Thanks either way for all the great promos you guys do!

Ha. Your situation is so similar that I read your comment twice and wondered how it posted under a different username.

Darn, looks like I missed out on this comparative, I would have loved to run some of there autos in my new HLG setup here in Canada.

Turbotokes I can remember that negative attitude toward everyone you use to have hopefully you have changed

beans came in! can't wait to start!

@TurboTokes - I would drop @George Seeds a message, you never know, he might have a pack left. Worth a try.
