Not much to report today. All the seedlings are doing ok well all but one, the seed husk didnt want to come off. it was like 1.5" tall. I used an x-acto knife to get it off but im not sure it didnt get hurt in the process. Ill just have to wait and see.

Hey man looks like a great little grow set up you've got goin on. Im thinking about having a lil operation like that in my basement also. Something to start some babies and get them ready to go before i put them outside. Care if i jump on for the ride?

Its a sad day in the White Russian room:( The seedling that had the shell stuck on didnt make it. I can only assume i should have left it alone. I also noticed that the 1" rockwool looked dry. I thought maby it was or becayse roots would be out the bottom and getting water from the dirt. Well after verry carefull extraction of a few cubes it was obvious the roots had infact not come out at all. I didnt think this was good so i waterewd them even though the soil was damp. do you guys think I should have them under a dome?

I was thinking that too. They are only half covered now. What about removing the plastic? I left it on thinking it would guide the roots down but it may be working agenst me.

i have only used rockwool to dirt once, they were the one inchers like what you have, i started them in an ebb and flow but changed my mind.
it was lr2.
when i took them from the ebb and flow they were one week old and only a little bit of the roots were coming out the bottom, i took the plastic off and burried em to about 1/8 inch below the surface, at week three i pulled out some males that had shown sex and roots had come out the sides and the bottom of the rockwool about 6-8 inches (besides the finer roots that broke off).

i think it would be best to take the plastic off just so they can grow where they want.

The last time that i dealt with rockwool, i used the 3x3 squares and had a major moisture problem at first switching to soil. I tool the lower 3/4 of the plastic off and then burried them up to the 1/4 of plastic left. It really helped out with moisture. Could work just as good for the 1x1's

Florida was fun but I had to pay a price. I lost one seedling when i was gone so now in down to 13. Thats ok I figured on a few losses. It looks like it didnt get water. the others had the same amount so perhaps the root that had been there was poor and it would never have been healthy. Most of the others are doing good. one is still small in relation to the others but it may catch up who knows. I feed again yesterday with 8ml Advanced Nutrients B52.

It happens thanks for posting. I just looked in on them and they are reall no different from yesterday. I did almost have a fire in the flower room though. I was tending to my blueberry when my osccilating fan made a huge spark and shot some flame!! The breaker triped and left me in the dark room wondering what the fuck just happened? Well after the dust setteled I turned off the timmer to let the light cool befor I turned it back on. Unpluged the fan, fixed the breaker and started it back up. After inspecting the fan I found about 2" of bare wire. Wow that was close.

Every one looks good today. I do have a heat issue in the veg room now that I added another 105w cfl. I have the fans to fix it. I just need to get some time to do it. If you have never grown b4, take it from me it a ton of work lol but I guess its worth it. I have no idea how guys like trenton do a 60 plant grow. It's overwelming to even think about it. OK off to work then bowling tonight. Ill post tonight.
