after researching for many months i have taken the plunge and started my first grow.
the strain i am growing is Easyrider (lowrider #5/AK47) that i picked up from attitude.
i built a airoponics/DWC cloner that i modified to start my seedlings. the seeds popped less than 12 hours after germinating them in a moist paper towel folded and placed in Tupperware bowl. i found out that placing them on top of the refrigerator was a nice source of warmth. after they had a 1/4 inch root they were then placed into rockwool cubes sprinkled with hydroton and placed them into 2 inch net cups. i have roots that have dropped down and into the water that is oxygenated with (2) 14 inch air stones.
the seeds were started on 10-01-10 and i am now at day 6 after starting the seeds.
the cloner has about 6 gal of distilled water and 1/2 strength of Clonex cloning solution from Growth Technology. the water here is the worst.... so I'm using distilled water i picked up from Vons.
i have the seedlings under 8 CFL and i have a 4 inch computer fan blowing down on them.
i am building a cabinet to house them. under a 600w in a 4 ft high by 4 ft wide by 3 ft deep space. i will post pictures when it is time to move them. but for now they are in a converted storage cabinet lined with a mylar blanket i picked up from wally world.
so ..... here are the pics... i am concerned with the curling leaves... any input?
i LOVE the vibe on this forum... i only post here as the trolls on the other sites are not wanted. thank you to all that have come before me and posted their experience. i would have never started down this journey with out the path everyone has laid out for the new growers like myself. if i can help others by posting my experience i would gladly do so.....
