Welcome to the journal for my first grow. The grow is ambitious to say the least. I am aware of the complications and don't know what I don't know - My first serious grow. The specs are:
Treehorn Season One - Fall 2013
Featuring:
5 X 5 Tent
(In stealth urban environment)
Asst Lamps PRN
Asst Nutes PRN
Titan Edd & Flow system w/ 6 sites.
Resting under CFL (8 x 26w @ 5k @ 18/6) are five seedlings. One more is in GERM and will be joining them in a day or so. They sit here 6 days since their first watch bath for 1.5 days and 2 days between paper towels. Looks like we have had 100% germ on the beans we got in the mail from The Single Seed Centre. Shipping was awesome and arrived in 6 days with no rush ordered. (Imagine THAT!
)
We were happy to see how quickly the beans germinated and were ready to get into some medium. They sit in clear hot dog boxes (fast food type) and have been drained of excess water since the taking of these pics. Ive removed the tops of the hot dog boxes for a day or so so that it dries out a bit. I removed a .25 of water from the base of the hot dog boxes as the Ready Root was 'wicking' and staying a little too wet in my novice opinion. You can see how moist it was in some of the pics. Here are the first baby pictures of my grow.
I'm grateful to have a local hydro store in my town. Actually we have a few but some act like I'm from the FDA when I walk in. His advise about losing some of the standing water will no doubt be a good bit of guidance.. I'm hoping so anyway. That's it for now. Please comment and thanks for reading my notes. As excited as I am, I'm trying to do this as scientific as possible so I can track any wrong turns I take.
More later.

you may risk damping off having those seedlings in propagators especially as your plugs are wicking up water but I have used those plugs before they are very good but dry out so quick, I would suggest keeping your propagators (hot dog boxes) but make several holes in them so the humidity isn't as high and don't let any water sit in the bottom, just water as needed.
Treehorn. Nice setup.
