Sneek Peek!! About 15 of the 18 I have germinated have kicked there heads above soil.
The White Cheese looks near perfect but my TD and BM are bent over and drooping, base of stems look good. Not sure as I only have been misting them when top is dry and not so damp to the first knuckle and they received only about 50ml of ph water to each plant 2 days ago since I first watered pots down before germing 4 days ago. Water was given two days after initial transplant but have misted whenever top is dry.
I don't think its over water cause I'm pretty careful and also do the knuckle test quite often. I'm used to CFL's and then transferring into another room but didnt do it that way this time. Just seems my TD and BM are weak looking and bent over, but stem looks normal. Room is 78 soil level light is a 600 on 50% and is 17-19 inches away. Sprayed only with ph ro water and have also sprayed with Rhizo. Anyone got any ideas? This is what I woke up to last night they were just breaking soil but not really out yet. Normally my seedling look better and further along when done under CFL's and this is my first time using airpots so got to get used to those down the road too.

Update**
Well turned out 17 out of the 18 seeds sprouted and have been above soil for about 9 days. I had to go away a few days on short notice at a bad time and the misses did her best but they are stunted. Might loose 1 TD and a few BM. Think she let them dry out cause I harped and harped about overwatering. All 5 White Cheese are incredible looking and very uniform. Rest are pretty weak looking especially BM plants are very small still barely above soil. Ill try to doctor them up. I flushed all pots with 6.3, 0PPM this morning and are already looking better. Checked run off PH 6.5 and PPM was 550 voodoo juice is only thing given to soil. Anyone know what BX range is out the bag?
Pics to come tomorrow. Good news though!!
12 KVS
1 White Dwarf showed up today.
6 KVS and the Dwarf are soaking as we speak!!! or
Going to start these a little different after germing. Going to use Burpee Natural fiber pots and Burpee organic seed starting mix.
I will use these like the solo cup tier method and will cut the bottom out of one and stack. That way when removing I can stick directly into a pot and put BX around the transplant into the airpot final home. These fiber pots were cheap and if cut in half so your using two per plant you get enough for 5 plants so 10 pots for $1.69.

nice set up buddro.
so many plants -- this is another forest in the making.
goodluck my friend and keep us updated.

Need a little help with this White cheese woke up this morning and she has a couple of specs on here anyone got any ideas?
Ph in last water was 6.3 run off was 6.5. Has been foliar fed once with 1/8 strength B-52 and also one foliar feed of Cal/Mag.
I flushed yesterday after soil almost dried out on me cause I was gone. Plants looking better this morning, more dark green coming back not so yellow.

Could be magnesium. Foilar feed with light dosage. Read the back of your nutrient bottle and they should give you a general dosage to spray with. I would spray with less than recommended due to plant age.

Thanks for stopping in Truu!! Will mix up some fresh cal/mag spray and get to work.

Budro,........i love the airpots, so will you when you see the comparative outcome. Could you explain why you are using 59000 Lumen at 575 nm ?/..........when 620-650 nm is peak wavelength in flower (Fruitification) mode. Why do you not have a 450nm "peak" Vegetative grow light on the 17 plants, when in veg,..........??.....................you have 17 plants divide by 59k lumen = 5588 lumen output per plant, that enough, but in "Veg" 450nm wavelength HPS CMH ??..........
If you took 8 across the line in the 1.3m cab, you would yield more from 8 than 17. Factors of light distribution impact dramatically on yield. Environmental room between plants has a negative effect when to close to each other, same with to many rats in a box, they just wont grow the same as when thinned out, and environmental competition is reduced. 8 plants would share 59k lumen output, 7375 each plant, with penetration, which is important, light penetration is notoriously pore with HPS, unlike LED, as only 18% of light output is used by the plants. Just my opinion, thrown in as requested at start........AB............good luck with the grow Budro...........AB................

Hey Autoberry. Well I was given the gear so I don't have much I can change. Just starting the plants under the one 600 at 75% now so 450w cause I cant afford another light. Not sure if you have read my prior post I lost my job and have anxiety so I grow for myself, was lucky to have this gear.
When the plants get a little bigger they will be spread out under 2 - 600w lamps I have. Right now the pics only show them on one half of room tucked under one light till they get a little bigger. Saving a little electricity by running one light. My room is 5x5 or 1.524m squared and with the size airpots I have stacked can fit 7x7 pots or 49 pots stuffed. I plan on running less then half of that to give breathing room going to be stuffy no doubt. I have run a previous partner grow that were way tighter and this and more volume, two 6x8 tables almost 300 autos so thanks for the advise. I understand the lighting is not perfect but its all I have with the funds I have. I would like to pick up a t5 or something for vegging little ones. But right now cash is tight and I got at least 300 in seed. If anyone wants to send me some seed Ill get a light. lol
Thanks for stopping by AB and thanks for the advise although things are not optimal I'll have to make due till the job market comes back around.
Meant to add I was given the 5 easy ryder and was not expecting. Original plans was 5 white cheese 5 blue mammoth and 3 think different. Some of the easy ryder dont look hot might pull to make space for the stiches.
