There were 3 of us yesterday... maybe 4 today. Someone has to roll the joints too, and I am the best at that. We all have our special jobs.If your taking pics then who’s doing the work Em?

Then I would say your job is by far the most important!There were 3 of us yesterday... maybe 4 today. Someone has to roll the joints too, and I am the best at that. We all have our special jobs.

So many times...
Y'know that a lot of times a question comes to mind and then I find it's answered without me asking.
She's very good like that.

Several good things going on this morning. We didn't get done with the room yesterday (too many joints) but we made good headway and will get the walls done on the next pass, at least well enough so we can hang mylar.
Future bloom room 6 x 12 (please excuse the fuzzyness)
This side will be the two veg rooms, both 6x6, after we add the next wall. There will be a sliding door in here to get to the back room, and to enter the two larger rooms will be traditional swing out doors. Airflow will be incoming fresh air and air conditioning in the left window, and outflow of dirty hot air out the right window. Negative pressure will also bring air in from under the doors in the front of the main room.
Downstairs, we have good news from the seedling table. 6 of 6 of the Kosher Daddys are up and appear to be happy.
Two of the Durban poisons are pushing up now and will have leaves in the light by this evening. The first one up was the seed that was pointing down, the next one was one of the horizontally laid seeds.
Kosher Daddys will now get their own journal as we work them to find the males, pollinate one female and then send what is left to flower. For now, here are shots of both the first one up and the last one to come up last night:
Two of the older plants are going to need to be topped very soon or sent to flower or they will get too tall for our room. My cloner is set up and ready to go, so very soon we will be topping and cloning Strawberry Cough and Deep Cheese, and within a couple of weeks we will be looking at going into flower with them, while here in the veg room we will continue to work with the clones and the young plants.

more good news! The last two Durbans also came up, upside down one first, and then the next horizontal seed. I see no correlation to the position of the seed and 1/2 inch down seems to be a good distance to put them. I am batting 100% after changing to the Happy Frog, and the 100% success rate with the Durban seeds going right into the soil from the 24 hour soaking, seems to speak well of that method too, and maybe not so well for the added paper towel step. More experiments will be done.

So now that the seed starting fiasco is over, it was time to move all of the seedlings out of the breakfast nook and up into the grow room. It is now clear where several of the lights need to hang, and today we started putting things in their final places, despite the building mess all around us. The seedling nook is now powered by my little 100w LED light that I won from a former Sponsor, and my DIY 6x COB array has found its permanent hanging spot in Veg Room #1. It is what it is, and construction resumes on Thursday... but these girls will not be slowed down waiting on me. If I needed to, I know right where the NextLight Mega is going to hang now too, so bring it on... we are still roughing it in, but we can adapt to anything at this point.

All the seedlings got watered this morning before work and this evening we gave the littlest ones a few more squirts to nourish their tiny roots again. This time, throwing all caution to the wind (I have plenty of seeds if this goes sideways) I gave the 4 seedlings our very first well water.
We have not done a formal analysis of the water, but it appears at first and second glances to be high quality well water, probably fit to drink. The TDS is 265 ppm, well within the acceptable range. It's pH is 7.1 Looking at it in a 1L bottle or the 5 gallon jug, it appears to be clear. Buddy wants to drink it, but I said no. I did say yes to the plants and I really believe looking at these numbers that everything is ok... this was, after all, at one time the water supply for the family that lived in this house.
Even more remarkable, even for an extremely lucky person such as myself, after lowering the pump down as far as its electric cord would let it go after tying it off at the lid, the 50' garden hose went in the back door, through the radio room, up the stairs, right up just to the top landing where it was very easy to fill a 5 gallon water jug, right up there where it is needed and with no lifting. The pump did a fine job and gave us good water pressure way up there. Eventually we will run a permanent water line up there to do the job.
I am also exploring an idea of installing a dumbwaiter to make it easy to haul things between floors, using an existing cold air return that has become useless in this new house configuration. I got an eye roll and then a smile when I conveyed this idea to my partner.... it WILL happen someday.

You might be adding cold air returns once all the lights are cranking. The coldest we get our upstairs is like 80F for just that reason. Poor air circulation.
