Hey Folks,
Here are some of Sawney’s Lecters that I germinated a few weeks ago. They are 22 days old and they’ve been growing in a couple different areas until I finally had a tent available for them.
As usually… the pre soaked seeds were all started out in 1.5” rock wool cubes then planted in 4x4 Grodan blocks when first sprouted. 5 days later the roots penetrated through the blocks and it was time to place them on the wrapped 8x8x3” rock wool slabs that they are sitting on now. The slabs were set on a 3x24x48” Botanicare ebb&flow tray with a 30 gallon reservoir underneath which is only filled half way. The stand that holds the tray was made out of scrap 2x4’s and piece of 1/2”plywood that I had sitting around the house. The lighting I’m using are 3 $45 100 watt Maxisuns that are currently set at 60% power. The main NPK I’m running is Humboldt’s Secrets A&B formula with Botanicare Calmag. When the plants are about 2 weeks into flower I’ll cut out the Calmag and substitute the ppm’s with General Hydroponics Koolbloom, G/H Nectar and Power SI (bloom). The plants are currently being watered every 12 hours for 15 minutes increments, at about 650 ppm. When they get to be about 5 weeks in age I will increase the watering and flood the tray every 8 hours while slowly increasing the strength of the nutrients.
Here are some pics that will get you updated and caught up on the progress from when the girls first sprouted.
Hope everybody enjoys the grow.

glad you set a thread up for these girls.. I love the lecter.. assuming your cubes and slab are plastic wrapped to protect your roots from the light??
Looking amazing already! I'm following along.
