Day 11 (8 since sprouting) today, they're doing great! Under 12 x 26w (312w) 6500k GE CFL + 240w Blackstar LED
Checked pH last night, it was out of WACK like 7.4 in one bucket and 6.7 in another so got em all to 5.8 on the dot. Res temps are good though.
Then I checked the ppm in Sabrina's bucket and it was like 40ppm higher, at 190, but there was also a weird white foam. It smelled, not bad, it just had a smell. There is algae in the Root 66 or Sugar Daddy (I think the Root 66) so I think that's what it is. It's white, for sure, and not thick, it's only on the very edge of the bucket, almost looks like someone put 3 drops of Dawn soap in the res and it's just soapy. But it's fine and she looks the same as she has and her second set is coming in strong so I'm not worried about it.
I changed Sabrina's res and re-set everything just in case last night, but it's back this morning, not as thick, but I feel like it's going to stay for good so I'll just watch it and see.
So, pictures! Realized yesterday I didn't include any, so let's do it!
Day 10 - 7 since sprouting (Plants are labeled)

But what is that red cup on the middle bucket?!
More seeds germinating...
Day 1B
I germinated a Silver Surfer seed, SS1, I found in a bag I got. I had three, but lost two of them, but one will suffice. It was striped, dark, looked very viable. I also germinated another Bubblelicious seed, B3.
So, here's the setup. I have no clue if this is going to work or not. I dropped a generous amount of Thrive Alive Red onto the Rapid Rooters plugs I bought. Put the seeds pointy side up in the hole about 2x their width. Dropped half a dropper full of water on the seeds to saturate them. Cut off a small piece of the plug and covered up the top hole loosely.
I cut a solo cup in half, stuck em into it and covered them with another red solo cup. I'll be growing those two in Soil most likely in a new tent I'll be ordering. I love to stay really busy and this hobby is just too much fun.
Got them on the bucket under the LED (off in these pictures) to stay a bit warmer. It's about 85-90 degrees where they sit radiantly but the tent itself sits at 79-81.
Pics!
