**Helllo everyone, back for my next journal**
This time I've got everything dialed in and it's going to be a good one
I'm running one feminized Critical Sensi Star, it's 15 days old today. This is my first full size DWC grow but everything's going smoothly and I don't anticipate many problems because the environments set up pretty good.. If you haven't yet I have finished two other journals and they can be found in my signature below. I'm learning everything step by step from a pretty knowledgeable grower on this next round, he gets insane yields and does thing's a little different then usual grower will do. My goal is 5-8 ounces from this single plant SCROG which will be 6 sq/ft.. My tent is 2 x 3 and it will be ran from corner to corner of the tent.

How I Started The Seedling
Ok, this is how I started the seedling... It's a little different as far as PPM, lights, etc that most would do but I'll let the pictures do the talking. I initially took the seed and pre-soaked it for 24 hours in a porcelain mug. After 24 hours I took the seedling placed it at the bottom of the hole in a Rapid Rooter (RR) on it's side, with the point edge up as well. I ripped pieces of the RR and plugged the hole around the seed very loosely. For the first 3 days I hand watered the RR until it was moist and placed it by the window sill, under a 23w CFL at night (24/7). The seed popped above the second day.
After the seedling was 3 days old I mixed up a nutrient solution, equal parts of BPN with a PPM of 300 and pH of 5.8. I took the RR in hand and dunked it beneath the surface of the nutrient solution for 3-5 seconds until I saw most of the air bubbles begin to slow. Also on the 3rd day it was put beneath my 400w MH bulb.
I continued dipping the RR into the nutrient solution until the 7th day and here's what I got:
On the 8th day I placed the RR into the hydroton, set the nutrients in the DWC to the veg 1 stage. However, I upped the PPM to 900 and set the pH to 5.8. I know, I know, to much nutes for a seedling, but again I'm following the advice from someone who I could only dream to get yields like. My pictures show that it works quite well also
Now I've been hand watering every day (2-3x) since I've placed the seedling into the hydroton until the roots hit the res and now I'm only doing it once a day and tomorrow I'll stop completely. The roots are easily tripling daily. Here's the seedling at day 12:
and 14:
Tomorrow I'm switching to veg 2 and I'll be upping the PPM to 1050 and of course pH 5.8. So that's all I have for now, any questions, comments, suggestions are great (but I'm following this guys advice for this grow), wanna hang out and talk feel free...
