I couldn't come up with anything less interesting, so if you came here thinking I was being sarcastic... sorry, there really is nothing here (yet) worth seeing.
Once I compile the entire grow, I'll reorg start-to-finish and have a masterpiece worthy of the GrowFAQ.
========================
random garbage:
6 seeds (2 ICE, 2 WW, 2 Top44), germinated in mugs, all sunk after 12+ hours.
1 26w (100w equiv) CFL for each seed, touching lid of clear "lasagna pan" plastic dome (80ish temps)
Placed in super starter plugs inside shot glasses, ICE sprouted in 36 hours, WW in 48, and Top44 still hasn't sprung anything (5 days so far since planted). I did NOT soak the plugs previously (cuz I got ahead of myself). Many times daily I dripped dropperfulls of RO H2O on the plugs and in the shot glasses.
Once roots show (48 hrs?), transplanted to hydroton (48 hr soaked in 6.0pH RO) and 3.75" netpots. built 6-station tupperware tub (10 gallon, "Increedible Plastics" tub, 100% opaque -- cut in half horizontally so lid fits down over bottom, making it essentially a 5gal tub), collars for netpots, and clear 18oz dixie cups (also cut in half horizontally, then taped one one side to their original lid - so they can be made taller as needed).
3 gallons of H2O (pHed to 5.5 and 6 drops of superthrive) into bucket, covering approx 1/2" of bottom of netpots. Very little growth here for first 24 hours in pots, but once airstone was added it seemed to pick up slightly (only one, tiny-ass airstone added at this point). pH of water tests down around 5.0pH after 24 hours)
