I'm in love!
Thank you @GrowNorthern and @TaNg , GN for making these and TaNg for showing the capabilities! All I have to do now is get some green fingers?
I'm so impressed as to how quiet they are, makes my old light unit sound like a F in hurricane! I'm just taking a meal break and letting them warm up. After repast, I shall be filling the airpots and hopefully(?) in the morning 'dropping the dragons'.
I'm not sure if I have the 'orientation' right................I just followed the arrows!

Hi all,
We have 'tails', All 9 seeds (see another post!) are of unknown sex so, I'm doing this!!
Airpot's filled and waiting?
The plan.......? is to determine sex in the small (3l) Air-pots which should be done and over by day 25-30? Any Fem's will be tiered into larger Air-pots, I'm not sure how many girl's I will have at Xmas but, They are Dragons!
Peace, Love (never go to war!) just grow!

Ok, I'm having a problem getting/keeping the temperature in the tent (dodgy central heating isn't helping as well!) up to a suitable level! Best I've seen so far is 23c/75f and that, I think is too low?
The HS1's have been running 24/7 since last night and although the lowest temp recorded was 18c, looks like I'm going to have to add some additional heating?
I'm open to any suggestions?

A somewhat frustrated update,
Or am I being impatient?
Seeds, when they had shown tails, were planted directly into the pots on Wednesday. This is the first time that I have gone this way as I normally use Root Riots and then transplant them into the airpots. I tried to be as careful as possible when placing them into the pots but, still no sign of life!
Another change, which may have altered normality, I got it into my head that as I use Bio-Bizz nutes, maybe I should try Bio-Bizz light mix as opposed to Plagron light mix? The BB mix is a lot coarser (i.e. more lumps, which are difficult to break up with your fingers!) than what I am used to with the Plagron, reasoning behind this was the Cal-Mag deficiencies that I have suffered later in past grows?
With regard to the temp problems, I spent too much time looking at ways of raising the temps (waterproof tubular heaters and the like!) and then realised I had the answer already! This evening I put my 110 watt CFL light into the tent and temps are coming up nicely!!
Hopefully over the weekend, little Dragons will surface!

Glad you have sorted the temp out bro and hang in there I'm sure they will pop up in the next say or two.
