Easy Rider Grow Notes
08/06/2013 - Started germination of 6 seeds in tap water
08/08/2013 - Moved 6 germinated seeds to covered wet paper towel
08/10/2013 - Transplanted 6 sprouts to 6-2 gallon pots using Miracle-Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix
08/12/2013 - Started the vegetative stage using 14K lumens/250 watts @ 6400K from 7:00 AM to 1:00 AM
08/14/2013 - One sprout failed to emerge, started germination of 1 seed in tap water
08/15/2013 - One seedling failed to thrive, started germination of 1 seed in tap water
08/16/2013 - Increased lighting to 20.4K lumens/342 watts (14K/250 @ 6400K and 6.4K/92 @ 5000K)
08/17/2013 - Transplanted 2 sprouts to 2-2 gallon pots
Watering when top ~1" of soil dry. Getting a little bit of top soil fungus, along with the accompanying black fungus gnats, which so far have been more of a nuisance than any sort of problem. House is cooled using evaporative cooling system which helps with overall humidity, but still on the low side. Addition of several water containers to grow box has also helped a bit. I'm also using a 12" fan outside of the grow box to re-direct house air to the intake ports of the grow box.
