Hey guys,
Last was on here in early June... and since then I've been extremely busy with all sorts of aspects of life. Anyways, the start of my first grow has finally begun. Throughout this thread I hope to show some methods that worked for me, though for the most part I'm entirely following Roseman's tutorial (thanks!) but thought additional insights into my personal dilemmas that have already arisen may help other bubbleheads.
I first started by ordering parts individually (but collectively shipped), as I wanted to take a complete hands on approach and learn the art of growing some nice bud (which in this case will supply a green card holder). While most of my stuff was bought from stealthhydro, I purchased a different reservoir container that is sold (sadly) at Walmart and is within 0.5-1" in dimensions (W,L,H) of the same tub on their site. The reason I liked this reservior is the holes were already drilled on either side of the handles and was perfect for 1/4" tubing from my two air stones to pass through.
Pre-cut airstone 1/4" tubing holes:
1/2" tubing connecting pump and Dig splitter that was bent so I took a empty pen casing cut it down to size and zip tied it to the pump/tubing to stabilize/keep a constant flow:
Finally the seeds! Got them from the attitude/ are serious seeds:
Within 24-48hrs I should be able to begin posting photos of what the setup looks like and how the plants are doing. Already I made a rookie mistake and accidently left the lights on for the first 24hrs after putting the seeds directly into the pre-soaked Ph'ed rockwool, hydrotron (spelling?) rocks, and airstones. I have turned the lights off in hopes they will still be alright. Water temp is room temp, Ph = 6.0, room temp = 75-80F. Please let me know if you think my seeds will still sprout... I have spares if I killed them, but really hope I didnt.
Again look forward to this first grow and will post pictures soon of the rest of the setup. I'm trying to do it as organic and pesticide free though I couldn't pass up the home defense killer; don't need ants, mites, or spiders lol
