Another question, I am getting ready to transfer the cracked seeds into rockwool, should I put them in the res, even though it's DWC, or should i put them in the clone dome covered in the nursery?

Question about the Home Defense. Do I spray it on the walls, will it make drip lines? Can I put it on a paper towel with gloved hands and wipe it down that way???

Another Question, the rockwool will be done soaking in 2 hours, the seeds are just starting to crack just the teensiest bit in the 1/8th inch of water in a coffee cup. Temps around the plants in soil and the beans in the coffee cup are a steady 82 degrees. Humidity is less than 30 percent in the grow area now. Can I wait a couple more hours on transplanting the beans to rockwool, or do I have to do it right now? I can do it in soil if I have to.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Galadrieldreams how ya doin? You don't HAVE to transplant them now but make sure that the taproots don't dry out on the seeds that've already popped. I would put them into the rockwool cubes ROOT DOWN and start your pump, and adjust to a slow trickle as needed vs. letting them stay in the cups. If your more comfortable putting them in soil, then you could take that route as well. Also make sure you keep that humidity up, at least 40% they'll grow at 35% but a lot slower. You could add rolled up towels, cups of water, or just soak a big towel and let it drip into a 5 gallon bucket, all of which work great. I hope that helps, my friend, good luck!
 
I've always had no trouble just putting the seeds (that I soaked for a couple of hours) right in the rockwool, the last 4 popped in 24 hrs !! And are doing great , had to move 2 of them into 5 gal buckets they were crowding each other in the SH res too much !! Just seems easier not having to mess with them much at that stage ...:peace:
 
Thanks everyone! I have more pics from Madame Tusseauds . Just name the person, and I can post a pic. Although my Jimi Hendrix pic has a haze around it... ;)

I ended up falling asleep last night and didnt transfer my seeds.

I have a 12 inch airstone from a fishtank (Per advice from The Answer I won't be using in this grow) that just blasts out the air still. It was from husbands fish tank setup when he was a teenager. It still works, and works WELL. They just don't make em like they used to...

Thats with about 60% of the other things made these days.
 
Ok Deep Water Culture.

I need your help!

I need to move the picture of The Duke to the Off Topic Picture area. I received a message from a Mod asking me to do so. I don't think I am in too much trouble for it, but I don't know where the off topic photo galleries are... Can you help me out, and post a link to it, so I can re-upload the pic, or, for those who have already seen it, you can snag it and then I can just have the mods edit out the pic?

Don't want to get into any trouble here. So your help is appreciated!

Ok, everything is resolved with the duke picture. It was seamless and painless.

I have pics of my beans in rockwool in the clone dome. I'm doing DWC so the wait for roots and sprouts begins.

Here's some pics

I went and Got some new 2700k lights today that say they are Trilight, meaning they have several wattages, I of course want max, but for the life of me I cant figure out how to switch them up to the max of 34 watts. Only have the spiral of the spirals are lit.
This is the CFL I am talking about

The CFL also came with 2 of these things each, I don't get where they would go if they could.

And one more pic of the box

If anyone can please tell me how to get the most from these that would be greatly appreciated.
:peace:
 
Heck I am not sure..... seems to me that you should be able to select them to whatever you want based on your needs. Leave it to me to over purchase something that I knew darn well i didn't need. I did not follow "KISS" on this one,lol
 
Those are ment for tabletop fixtures that have the switch that can turn, quarter turn for each high medium and low settings, if you put it in a normal lampholder it should be on the high setting but i`ve never tried the CFL kind. You prolly need the proper lampholder for it
 
Hy Diesel, thanks for the input, I would agree that they should go to high, I mean its 120 volt 60 hz going in, should be max, on each of them only one spiral is lit up of the 2 that are on each one.
At any rate they are going back!

Hey can I LST a plant that is in bloom stage? I hope so I just did some, pictures to come shortly......
 
Roseman are you out there ...hello :hmmm: .... we miss you ..... are your fingers too sore from trimming to post ? Hello....:confused:

good deal on taking them back, they arent what you want

yep you can bend and tie or supercrop in bloom without issues, I do it to keep canopy level, and yes it was scarry the first time I supercroped a cola bud but had no issues, they keep on growin just fine.
 
Supercrop? You got me on that one..... I am having height issues and that is why I was LST,ing. I will need to research "SUPERCROP" more i suppose..

Here is what i did tonight and a few pictures of some clones I think are finally going to work out.

I'm not as experienced as many other members that post here, but I would trim those dead leaves and the dead leaf ends off of those clones
I've been told that it helps the plant, not having dead/dying matter attached to it

hopefully, someone smarter(a more experienced grower) than me will confirm this, or correct me
 
I thought that I should do that Barto, I agree and I seen a posting somewhere by I think a ringer that said once the plant is done with the dead ones it will take care of them , by detatching them. Not sure but you make a great point thats for certain, If I hear nothing more tonight about it I will remove them, thanks alot
