Ladies and gentlemen to my first grow journal.
This isn't my first time growing, although I will be trying many new (to me) methods and techniques of growing. Veg will be as long as it needs to be and I have no idea what to expect. I have previously grown in soil organically, bud was dank real earthy smoke to it. Also I have grown in not before which gave amazing growth rates and a real smooth smoke after a 10 day flush.
I have been lurking around here for quite some time picking up new information and new techniques that I wanted to try and I knew I had to have a go at fluxing. I will also be using the Gas Lantern Light schedule and if anyone hasn't checked that out, why not? I had a few seeds knocking about so everything was set in motion. I will try to check in on the thread daily and have a gallery upload once a week to show progress and possibly in between when everything goes wrong lol.
I will post the methods I am using as we move along, partly because I am really medicated right now and partly because I will forget something anyway. So far I have wrapped each seed in its own little tiny blanket of wet paper towels. I will check them every 12 hours or so to make sure they are moist enough and will check on them in a few days. I will make a post about the fytocell why I am preparing it, just so you can see how I am doing it see if I have actually got it right haha. Will also made a follow up post for the transplant.
I figured everyone likes pictures so I figured I would add what I have so far.
PS-You can find all the tech info at the bottom of the post.

Nutrients
This will be a bit of a mix and match of what ever I have got lying around for the veg stage, will have to make a decision on what to use in flower later down the road.
Location
I will be vegging in a Secret Jardin L120 (will get some pics up just need to put it back together) to start off with but as when they get repotted I will move them into the main room to finish veg and flower.
Temperatures
I don't think I will run into any problems 25-27 is what I would expect with my current cooling arrangements, by the time we hit flower I should have rerouted my extract to make my setup more efficient.
