Thanks Jaypp (sorry about spelling your name wrong 1st time)

It was a week yesterday from when the seeds fell on my doorstep and they are making good progress

The heated propagator works great, the two Sweet Afgani Delicious have rooted fine

As have the Wild Rose

Only 1 Psicodelicia is giving me hassles that one the seed sank soon as I put it in the water, then took its time appearing. I'll give it every chance but it looks like I am down to 5

lucky for me my grodan blocks arrived just in time or the would have been going directly into clay pebbles, I did that on my current grow and the plants are very unstable,best to use a bit of grodan for a better bass before it goes into the pebbles. I soaked them overnight in low strength nutrient

I got 3 inch blocks and had to cut holes myself (get the right ones next time) what a mess......they are in now

That's about it for now, all I need to do now is let them root through the blocks over the next week or so then they should not need much feeding, i'll just make sure the blocks stay moist (what a great word that is) but not soaking

All the best for Christmas have a great time

Hello again Sorry about the lack of updates, i'm just not used to documenting early veg, nothing much happens to my plants for a long time, I like BIG plants in my tent so I just let them grow for a bit. I'm still undecided as to how i'm doing this grow??? here are a couple of pictures how its looking now

You might notice all 6 made it after all that wee one just got off to a bad start but is catching up fast, I just noticed the bright spot in this picture and will be move the plants about so each gets a turn in that middle bright spot

they are rotting nicely and should be getting moved into whatever system I'm using this week (if I can make my mind up?)

Thanks for looking at my dairy

Looking healthy Rab,

Hope you don't mind me asking, was having a nose through your gallery and notice you've switched from the air cooled hood (is it a goldstar 6") and just wondered your reasoning? I've got the 5" one and at first struggled even with a 250W. Once that grow was over I redid all the ducting - straightening and cutting to make it tight and it made a world of diffence. Is the reflector a Euro shade? Not that I know, mind you, but thought the Goldstar was a better reflector - so wondered why you switched and not just remove the glass.

Again apologies if this is all a bit random, as said I've got the same make so interested to see what others feedback is on them.

Hope you're in rude health fella.

Hi @ Teeth It's the light footprint mate, once the plant got past a certain point it don't cover the 1.2m. If I could have kept it at the scrog net level it would be fine or if I could get the light higher...I hope this makes sense in some sense

[Teeth]

Perfect sense thanks for answering,

I forget about how small my drobe's footprint is compared to tents.

All the best when it comes

[rabthegrower]

sorry man just noticed your other Q's its 5" and it's an Ajust-A- wing reflector @@Teeth

[Guest]

enjoying the diary @@rabthegrower

sure to learn something about water based growing which might be a future skill with value.

also the strains are ones which I found to be of interest but you have to pick 3 in the end!

good vibes on the rest

[Guest StonerCol]

Off to a flying start Rab

Your method is completely alien to me bud so I am learning something which is great! Looking forward to following along and seeing some great plants

Best of luck and ATB for the comp and 2017

Cheers,

Col

E2a - Glad number 6 perked up and came to the party!
