Hello Blackmidget ,that's a mighty nice looking set-up you have. Looks like you've got plenty of room in there to take care of your business.
Good luck with everything.

Off to a great start, Black!! May all your seeds germinate and burst forth!!!

[Blackmidget]

I really need to get some cooltubes, the lamp i using atm is a 125w LE, the temp is now 31 C and rising quick.. It´s time to install the ventilation packet fast

[alltatup]

I'm telling you, this is no cheap hobby!! The things we have to buy in order to do this correctly!!!!

[Blackmidget]

haha I have already made a new shopping list of things i REALLY need and things i want to make this a little more easy

[D.A.A.S.69]

You can always just use one light on your seedlings until they get larger.

[Blackmidget]

Stil no signs of any plants in the little box, but did manage to get the rest of the lights up

[alltatup]

It’s been 2 days and I bet they are fixin to pop out.

[Cronk]

I was driving myself crazy last week waiting. They came out after maybe 5 days of germ. only lost one so far. now 4 days in they are doing well thanks to this forum. I over-watered, watch out for that

[Blackmidget]

I have a problem, I dont know how I did putt the seeds in the rapid rooters, i have ni idea if it han be a problem?

Does seeds have a upside and downside?

[alltatup]

I always lay them on the side.

[Blackmidget]

#alltaup okey was worried that i had done something really bad ^^

[Blackmidget]

Im very happy today!! as you can see they are beginning to come up

But i have one question, when should i give them some water? its been 3 days now in the rapid rooters and i feels kinda dry in there..

should i just give them a little spray with a spraybottle?

[alltatup]

Black, this may help:

You definitely develop a feel for germinating and dealing with seedlings as you grow. I know someone above said Don't overwater, but like Agentbuckwold says, you definitely don't want those new roots drying out!!!

[Agentbuckwold3]

Absolutely give them enough sprays to keep them moist but not soaked. I know a few others, myself included, who leave a small amount of water at the bottom of the trays for the RRs to soak up. The last thing you want is to let them dry out. Awesome set up! I'm subbed

[Blackmidget]

Thx man, I did gave them a little shower now and left some water in the bottom "very little"

[Blackmidget]

10/10 seeds are up

I give them a shower from the spraybottle once a day for now "Not still sure about this watering thingy"

[alltatup]

Looking great!! Just make sure the cube is moist, you don't want the roots drying out.

Keep your eye on the bottom of the rooters, too, for signs of emerging roots. It happens fast.

Yes watering seems like the simplest thing but in fact is the easiest way to destroy a grow. Im learning this as well. Good luck

[Cronk]

watering has been killing me on my first grow. It's taken me 2+ weeks to figure it out and it cost me some growth time. I've got it now thanks to DAAS and others. seems I have a tendency to over do.

[UrbZ]

Me too that is the exact same scenario my first grow has been going thru. Ive over done it and stunted my growth. live and learn..

[Jr83]

I tend to love my plants too much but like any other woman in the world they need ignored sometimes lmfao my wife will have my butt for that buyv its true u gotta leave them be . but still go look at them every day lol

[NebulaHaze]

Beautiful seedlings. Make sure to always keep the Rapid Rooters moist (but not wet or shiny) and let the seedlings get light and fresh air. Looking good so far!

[Blackmidget]

I Think i need to plant them in the 3 gallon pots now, the roots are going out from the rooters very much now.. I forgot to take a picture :/..

But Im worried that i will do a misstake and kill them

[D.A.A.S.69]

Evening BM, your doing great, that's how you learn, is from your mistakes. No problems my brother, just put them in the 3 gallon pots by making a little hole for the RRs, or either put your RRs,in your pot and push a little soil up to about half the rooters, and just keep the RRs an the soil around them slightly wet.
Your gonna do great, especially with your excellent germination success. I think you've got a real green thumb.

[Blackmidget]

Thanks man! I was just wondering about how i should plant the RR's in the soil

[D.A.A.S.69]

I always go about half of the rooter or a little more, then after they are growing pretty good I'll make it level with the rest of the soil by either adding a little more soil or either by moving what's in your pot with your hands . That's just the way I do it, everyone does it different I'm sure. You will do fine I'm sure.
Just be gentle with them, and not to much water, or else you'll get slow growth.
