Subbed in as well, I'm beginning to like JibblerJoe's germ thoughts, only because mine are in rapid rooters right now and they are all nestled in and I can't see what's happening dammit.... where is my patience!!! Rooting for ya MrGreen23!!

[Jibblerjoe]

I like your set up. I'm subbed

[Jibblerjoe]

I use the wet paper towle to germ seeds. I only plant once the root is out and she'll opening. I know for sure if seeds popped or not.

Well it's been 8 days and only 1 sprout...germing new seeds today.

[NebulaHaze]

Glad to hear it! Your seedling looks perfect. Keep us posted!

Hmmm, is there a way for fresh cool air to get into the grow space, after the hot air is vented out? Is the ducting from the light to the fan in a straight line to the window without any air leaks? Considering the cool temperatures outside the grow space, the fact that it's getting hot in there makes it seem like there is an inefficiency with the exhaust system, or perhaps you need a stronger fan for the setup.

I was wondering about the fan. It's supposed to be much stronger than the booster I used for my first grow. The ducting is new...I just bought it. I did put a fan in the window. The room cooled down to 77...the tent is wide open. I'll keep you posted. The Trainwreck that did sprout seems to be doing well though.

How are you venting out the extra heat? The fans will help circulate the air, but they won't take the heat down on their own. The heat needs to be vented out in some way if you want to lower the temperature, I'm sure opening a window could help.

Make sure the seeds are nice and moist, but not soaking wet. They should be in a warm spot. I'd definitely give them a few more days, as some seeds can take a week or longer to sprout. Don't give up on them yet!

I have a new 176cfm HV fan pulling the hot air out to the window. I'll give the seeds a few more days. Thanks as always!

I'm a little baffled. I have 2 fans going and my temp is over 80. The house nor the room is hot and it's 45 outside. I also have the humidifier going on high. I don't feel a lot of heat from the cool tube, so why is my tent so hot? I opened the window...hope that helps. I also think I made a mistake. I didn't water my coco/perlite mix before planting my seeds. So far, only one of the Trainwrecks have sprouted. I'm wondering if I killed the other seeds or should I wait another day or two to see if they sprout?

Interesting setup. I def like the stands/spacers for smart pots. Just transferred into 5 gallon pots myself, finding my space very crowded lol

I needed the stands. Last grow, my runoff was being soaked back into the roots...not good lol!

Nice! I was just looking at the cool tubes. Cant wait to follow your grow Im using led right now but plan to do true side by side led vs hid in 2 different tents( all same setup/clones.. except lights) in the near future

[007]

Nice pro setup, those will be some happy girls. Interested to see results

[MrGreen23]

They look great so far, subscribed!

LOL they haven't sprouted yet. The pic on the left is from my first grow. I was showing you the difference in space and equipment. I'm excited again!
