OK - I'm about 6 weeks into building my basement rooms for veg and flower and growing. Veg room is pretty much complete and the flower room is almost done.
I got some clones going early on but because the boneheads who gave me the clones started them from flowering plants, it took them a little while to get going. One immediately went nuts and is about 18" tall while the other 2 from friend #1 (came in cups) are about 10 inches. The three from Friend #2 came in 1 gal. containers but they were like little buds when I got em and are a little wimpy (no Mycorrhizal tabs for them though - gonne step 'em up to 2 galloners and add the tabs and see how they do.
I did, however, start some from seeds.
Thai'tanic - just sprouted a week or so ago. x 3 (out of 5 - 2 didn't sprout)
Big Buddha Cheese - been goin a little longer. x 2 (out of 3)
Short Stuff #1 - for instant gratification - already flowering under 20/4 - started flowering after 2nd set of 5-finger leaves. One sprouted instantly in the paper towel. The rest took a little while longer so they're a little behind. They were 5 freebie seeds - 3 girls, 1 boy and 1 freak - If it turns out to be a girl it'll probly make a 2-gram bud-lol. If not - dead freak. I'll let it go until I have a replacement for it. Gonna make some seeds when the male starts dropping pollen - for the next batch.
AK47 - 1 seed given to me by a friend. Should be outta the soil in a couple days. Hope it's a girl, but if it's a boy I'll cross it with the Short Stuff for fun.
Already did the noob stuff - over-watered some, over-fert a few others and heta stressed a couple dialing in the light distance. I'll post some pictures later and start keeping it up from there.
Growing in Bags - 2-3 galloners
400 Watt MH in Veg, though using HPS on em right now for the flowering SS#1. 400 Watt HPS in the flower room (when they get big enuff).
Sprout cupboard has 2 4' Shop Lights with aquarium bulbs - yes, those are headed for an upgrade shortly.
Using some Foxfarm nutes - much more sparingly now. Who'da thought they'd freak out just giving them half-strength.
Using some Mycorrhizal tabs to start 'em off. Heard great things about 'em and from what I've seen, they help a lot. Will do some experimenting later on.
Well, I'll put up some pics later on.
