[E.L.patient11]

Hey everyone, quick update. Got my seeds a few days ago, have 11 bag seed goin, and 13 pineapple trainwreck. Got the seeds from a friend and wasnt to sure about em by looks, but ive got em in rapid rooters and can already see about 9 pokin through!! lookin like i might end up having to go ahead and build myself a mother box!! who knows though lol. Ill post pics as soon as there is somethin to see

Yeah you're going to fill up your cab pretty fast with 20+ plants.

Looks like your cab came along nice, I like the fixture and the set up. Should turn out some nice healthy plants. Do you plan on upping after your first harvest to a 250-400 watt system?

Also, keep in mind that since you have 9 already poking through it may be near impossible to fit all those plants in that small cab long enough to tell the sex of the plant. Other than that, good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing some upcoming results.

Question though, how long do you plan on waiting to start using nutes/ferts.

Thanks for stoppin in guys
Diesel- i got in an argument with my buddy about how many seeds i should start, he was thinking, (as i secretely was) that there was no way half of these seeds would pop. There were a bunch of very premature looking seeds, but they seem to be doin better than expected! Luckily ive got a friend that might be letting me borrow another small cab that he has.

iBlaze- i would love to be able to up to a 250 or 400 watt system, but unfortunately due to security that really isnt possible. I have pretty much decided that i am going to be running hempy buckets and will probably start feeding with light nutes once the rapid rooters get transplanted. What do you think?

update time...well...things are going WAY BETTER than i had hoped....had 100% germ rate on my Pineapple Trainwreck (PTW), thats 13 for 13, and 64% on the Unknown Bag Seed (UBS), 7 for 11!! couldnt be happier for my first attempt at germ. Gotta give a lot of credit to the Root Shooters the hydro store guy convinced me to buy. So, heres some pics on what I'm declaring as day 1

Thanks a lot diesel. Just got a gift from a friend, a new box that im gonna use as a veg box. Its a bit ghetto, but itll do the trick for veg. I'll have to build myself another flower box that i can hopefully get some bigger lighting in place and get myself a bit bigger of an operation goin in a few months. Im just real low on money right now so im hoping my micro grow will keep me satisfied while i veg out some bigger plants in the new box, and hopefully by that time ill be able to have a nice flower area. Sorry if this thread is rambling a bit but im quite medicated and the wheels are turnin. Ill post some pics of the new box later when i get a chance.
