Sunmaster 250w Dual Spec, Maxibright Ballest & Reflecter
85w CFL, Old Growb(mini veg box), Pot & Lid - For Germing And 1st Few Days

Germination
This is how i crack my beans and to be fair it's never failed me. I pre soak 1" Rockwool cubes in plain ol council pop(water) for about a hour, give them a squeeze and a shake to get the excess water and air out, making sure they're not too wet, then I put the seeds(point end down) about 2mm deep in the hole on the rockwool cube, after that they go under a dark pot in the Mini veg box with a 85w CFL for warmth, as soon as they pop i put them under the CFL. Oh and not forgeting the 5" pc fan for air movement when they get a bit bigger. jobs a good'un :yep:

Day 1
Lights on 24/0
They are all above ground so we'll call this day 1. As you can see the Sweet Specials have popped first and they are still in the mini veg box under a 85w (blue) CFL, im not surpised the Sweet Specials popped first as the seeds are tiny. All 4 have now been put into 3" Pots with Plant Magic Plus organic soil. Not sure whats going on with the seed leaves on the Sweet Cheese, the new growth on her seems to be going so im not panicking too much just never seen that before, fingers crossed she'l be ok, perhaps the seed shell damaged them?? :unsure: Nothing much happening other than that really as they are only ikkle, just keeping an eye on temps and keeping them nice and moist but thats about it, :)

Temps: 25C - 26C

Feed: None - Just plain water

All 4 In The Mini Veg Box

Catch you all soon :bong:

Sweet Cheese, Sweet Skunk & 2x Sweet Special
Day 9
Lights On - 18/6

Hey peeps hope everyone's well? :yep:
Over a week has past since these babys showed ther heads and to be fair they aint hanging about espcially the Sweet Specials. The Sweet Cheese is a little slow but looking healthy so panic over with her i think.
I put the Girls into the tent yesterday as it is now empty and they seem to be absolutly loving the Dual spec so thats all good. The Sweet Specials will be potted up with PM soil into 6.5 litre pots in the next few days then the other two a few days after that. Thats pretty much it really apart from just keeping an eye on temps and keeping them moist. Short and sweet i know but here's thisweeks update. ;)

Environment:
Temps Lights On - 26C - 28C
Temps Lights Off - 20C - 22C
Humidity Lights On - 30% - 40%RH
Humidity Lights Off - 40% - 50%RH

Feed: None - Just plain water
