Roots don't like the light.

[William and Sue Ashley]

I germed under direct light....3 to 5 days and all was up and running.....

[Canuck147]

Then why aren't you running direct lights to your root system William?

[insomniaczzz]

Best of luck to you. Come round with questions and of course we love pictures!!

[bobsakamoto]

like your set up...looks very well-thought out...

does anyone know the light permeability of say, an inch-inch 1/2 of "normal density" soil? that way we would know when to invoke canuck's comment....

[Canuck147]

Just sayin', if you want buds and more buds your plants have to be happy. Start at the beginning bobs

[Kind-Dreams]

So you germinate in zero light?

[Canuck147]

I germinate the way the seed company wants me to. cuz the seeds are guaranteed to pop. paper towel method, in the dark

[Kind-Dreams]

They're in about 2.5 inches of coco. Light is on 18/6, maybe 2 feet from containers. Obviously they'll be moved closer later. CFL for now

[Kind-Dreams]

I figured this was equatable to a rooter cube

Thanks. These are just bagseeds, although they came from quality. If they don't pop in the next day or so, I'll give this a shot. Def worth learning, even tho I've never had a problem with germination in the past.

On another note, lights and fan came today, yay!

[Kind-Dreams]

So... 5 days later, 14 seeds popped. Transferred to solo cups.

[Kind-Dreams]

So... of the seeds that popped, I had lights positioned too far away. They were REALLY leggy. I kept 5 best looking, and popped 5 more seeds. Figured with bag seeds I'd have to thin out males. So far, all are showing female pre-flowers. Had to thin due to space.
*on a side note, I'm feeling way too limited in space doing a tent grow.
After drooling over some of Green75's grows, I committed rookie mistake , topped too soon. Bushing out nice, tho.
