Let's Attempt A 1lb Grow!

i get mine from local veterinary and farm supply places. there are a number. they're cheap.

edit : you're gonna want a couple different sizes. i find 20ml and 50ml to be useful in smaller grows. you can get them as large as 100ml.

Thanks bro unless I decide to go with five gallon buckets to keep my water in just a simple teaspoon 5 ml will work. Which eventually I will have 5 gallon buckets I'm trying to get them from work I got to clean up glaze out of it from the donuts. That way I'll be able to put a AirStone in it so to keep it oxygenated. But for now it's going to be 1 gallon jug which is simple one teaspoon is 5 ml which equals gram.

I water from the top down along the outside edges so it doesn't touch the stem, until water comes out of the bottom. Never drowned a seedling or had one damp off yet.

I tip the cup as I water to make sure it stays along the edge.

You know it's a very good idea for young seedlings and that's how I'm going to do them tonight when I get home before I put my tent up and that way they can sit there and do what they do then when I put that up and fill the 2 gallon pots up I can set them on top and let them sit on top of the two gallon pots with dirt where their final resting spots going to be. I might be able to crank that light I'm going to set it about 16 in from them
 
I just got to find some way to make like a air filter put around my intake so I don't like the dust that builds up on it and goes in and settles on some of my leaves sometimes. I don't like that shit it's kind of like a plant will just be laying there and dust all over it fuck that. That was a problem I had last time that damn intake got caked with dust and I had to clean it. And it kept blowing it in on my plants I don't like that shit I'm a clean freak. And when I put my tent up I'm wiping it down with hydrogen peroxide.

a furnace filter against the tent intake is a cheap solution. you want the cheapest filter.
 
I hope everybody's day went well! I know my day did plus today's my Friday I ain't got to work tomorrow thank God.

But anyways here you go their new home!! Big sturdy 2x4.

We going to see how well they adapt I know they're going to explode with growth especially when I grab those nutes..

I went ahead and gave them some little bit of that Epsom salt in their water just a tad bit anything helps right now I guess but they got some Fox farm on top of them. When I first sowed the seeds the only dirt I had on hand was some playground sand fresh out of the bag peat moss and some really good rich topsoil and I mixed it all together.

When I transplant in the pots you see them sitting on top of that is Fox farm Happy frog!!!

Right now they are sitting under 110 w at 16 in.
Also this is how much illumination I'm giving them at 16in.

Plus I have no clue why the words went black!

Nice new setup!

Don't just feed them whatever you have on hand. Skip the Epsom salts! ;)
 
I imagine what's in the next week those roots are going to be so busting in those cups which is a good thing cuz now they get their 24-hour light!!

I am so sorry Shed I really just didn't want to say anything to you but you're a good man and I know you're only helping me but for like three or four days they had 18/6 light schedule. But now I promise you they're 24/7!

You have to understand bro I just couldn't take no chances because the first day I let the lights stay on and I went to work all I did was worry and I couldn't stay focused at work you got to do what you got to do right.

Again I know it ain't your grow and it's mine I can choose whatever to put the light on but I'm taking your advice on this one I want to see this 24/7... Then I can look in all them anytime I want even if I roll out of my bed in mid sleep. Haha
 
Lots of folks run 18/6 so that's fine. So is 20/4! The downside to 24/0 is really the electric bill more than anything. Whatever you do though, pick a number and run it until flip. It's no good to run 24/0 and then in a month move it to 20/4 or 18/6. If you want to save some coin on the electric bill, go with a dark period and stick there until 12/12.

Appreciate your advice bro but I'll probably keep it 24/7. Because 110 w or even the 220 Watt ain't really going to make a difference that much in the electric bill so I think I'll be okay on that one I think it'll be like an extra $10 a month I'd say 20 at the most
 
Who knows my friend either way it goes they going to be some beautiful plants but I'll probably run this one 24/7 I'll take one clone off each plant I have it in that little box that I started these in. Or if I'm still in veg I'll just leave them in the damn tent because they'll be in a Solo cup with a solo cup on top
 
I'd be surprised if you get that 300 watt light turned all the way up in a 2x4.
