Got a seedling close to an inch.... The other two are still yet to break the surface of the grow plug after being in paper towel method for 2 days and not in plug for 3 days is this normal ??

Some seeds just dont pop. if they germed then they should sprout. get a seedling mat. a little heat works wonders for seeds. get one with a temp dial and turn on low.

I will give the two seeds another day to break through the plug, if not I will try and remove the tiny piece of plug that's covering the seed up and try to get it to sprout, I Guess ???

The other seedling is now almost 1 inch tall and is about to shed the "seed cover".

Yes, it is.

Not to come off like a jerk here Meast, but I don't think hydroponics is for you brah.

Probally right....... I ask alot of DUMB questions because I want to get this right......... I have 1 of 3 seedlings sprouted and I think it's doing very good.

K just to settle something right now. Dont expect this to be a "stealth grow" You will not be able to leave the door open with the light on. Will get way to hot.

Then the people from supercloset's are idiots... We will see
Yup. The only one i have seen that will work is their biggest one. The aircooling of the light makes all the difference. Its a fucking shame that the "upgrade" light isnt aircooled.

Another grow site someone has a grow closet journal for the superlocker 2.0 and they never mentioned temps being to high. To bad the site is always screwed up or I could ask him questions.

Also took 3 different ph readings... Got in the 4.5 range twice and 7 once.... Could this be because I didn't mix the water all in one jug ???

Also, if you think the buzzing from the air pump is bad, wait until you hear those axial fans!

The BCNL Producer I'm currently working on has seven axial fans. No doubt I'm sure it'll sound like a 747 taxiing on the runway.:eek:


Meast if there's still time, seriously think about returning the unit for a refund if at all possible. With vitrually the same amount of money (SuperLocker 2.0 clocks in at $1,600) you can outfit a hell of a tent that's about the same size as your SuperLocker...


Secret Jardin DRT90 tent - $170
Botanicare Econojet Ebb and Flow 2' x 2' - $250
600 Watt Advanced Nutrients BadAss ballast - $390
Sun System Yield Master II 6'' sealed reflector hood - $150
Can Fan 6'' HO centrifugal fan - $190
Can-Filter 50 - $180
Dayton 6'' axial fan - $73
GH dual diaphragm air pump & two Alita disc diffusers - $80
Sedra G-300 needle wheel water pump - $60
Sentinel MDT-1 timer - $200

------------------------------------

Total: $1,750
(approximate)


^That's pretty much the gist of it right there. Maybe a few more odds and ends but you get the overall picture. Sure it's not cheap, but that setup WILL absolutely whoop the shit out of anything Supercloset could even possibly conceive of making.:twisted:

Did you calibrate the meters? grab a whisk and mix it up good before you take the reading.

100% agree with this. Could be cheaper if you go with a cheaper ballast, but make sure its a good one.

if you really want a stealth operation. return it. buy a good size dressor or wardrobe, and make your own cab.

Quantum 600 or Solis-Tek 600/400 would both be excellent alternative options, and yes both of them would be significantly cheaper than the AN (which I believe still hasn't been released yet).

Plant is looking pretty good. It's probally 1.75 inches tall. One out of the 4 leafs has turned a small tint of brown and is curled up just a bit. Could it be from the ph that is almost 7.
