Mephisto Genetics First Grow Ever: Northern Lights Haze with Quantum Board and Bubble Bucket

[HotCheetos]

I got the seed germinating right now. Stats...

Lights: Timber 480 watt quantum board
Nutrients: Fox Farms
Grow Medium: Thirteen gallon bubble bucket/Dutch Bucket
Tent: 5 foot by 5 foot by 7 and 2/3 foot Secret Jardin grow tent
Six inch extraction fan with carbon filter
Clip on fan for air movement

I'll be posting pictures as soon as I transfer to the Root Riot cube once the seed pops and shows the tap root.

I'm excited! Please wish me luck and help me.

:Thanks.

I will be watching. You have a great set up. Keep the light high during seedling stage or dim it

Good luck.

May the green Goddess tap you for a fine harvest.

Well, it's been about a day since I had the seed in some distilled water and it still hasn't sunk or sprouted in the water. I think I should have got something to warm it up. Hey, I guess that is what the two freebies are for.

Don’t give up on it yet.

I just saw that it had the tap root out so I put it in the Root Riot that I had bought. Its sitting in the bucket with dimmed light. I'll put pics up today, you were right for me to not give up on it.

 

[HotCheetos]

Its sitting under the Timber dimmed about half way. I'll do some pictures if it gets out of the cube. Right now it'd be pretty boring.

Oh, and I made the clearance on the tent by like half an inch and it was a mother to put together. I got a model that was eight inches taller than I expected.

No fan and no carbon filter set up, nothing to fan or filter yet.

The thirteen gallon bubble bucket is so much bigger and heavier than I thought it was going to be. This thing is going to be a pain in the fanny for the next eighty or ninety days, I tell ya what.

 

[HotCheetos]

It still hasn't sprouted, it was in a water cup on Monday and in a Root Riot on Tuesday and Wednesday and started getting the Timber light last night. But I saw that it has produced a white tap root into the Root Riot. I think I might have stunted it or slowed it down or maybe its just always like this. How long does it take this stuff to germinate?

How much heat does four hundred eighty watts of LED lighting put out? This isn't doing anything heatwise in my basement. The ambient temperature is pretty low and the giant metal blades at the top are sucking all the heat into them. It might be too cold for this to sprout up strongly. I turned the heat up in my house and closed all the vents on the tent to try to warm it up. I don't want to put this upstairs in the spare bedroom but I might have too.
