Grow Mediums The Cave Toad Grow

[Cave Toad]

Ok, so the day has finally come! The tent is up, the light it hung and the ventilator is gently whispering. It's GROW TIME! I have spent the last 4 months reading everything I could lay my hands on, making the buying decisions and assembling the hardware. Tomorrow the seeds go into the Rapid Rooters and by next week they should be in the net pots ready to start their magic show. I have a bit of plumbing work to complete on the water system and then everything is a go.

I will start adding pics as soon as I figure out how to do it correctly.

Okay, pics will be good.

Robocop seeds from Cream of the Crop seeds are in the rooters so it's time to wait and see what pops. Rooted 6 to be safe, if all 6 go I will add a pot.

@Eekman I was going to put up an initial pic but can't get it turned up right. When I try to do it here a get a page not responding reply and I tried to do it before uploading but it still shows up sideways. Any ideas on how I fix this?

 

[Eekman]

Not sure, but maybe I can get back to you on that.

 

[Eekman]

did you try rotating the picture in your photo editor, OR in the folder the picture file is in?

I cant' be 100 percent positive, stoner and all, but I think I did my in the file, by right clicking and then selecting rotate it right (or left).

You could also, as a dumb fix that I know, open it in paint, and rotate it, and save it that way.

Sorry I have not updated until today. All six seeds sprouted nicely so I added an additional bucket to run all six. The pics are from day 6 of week 1 and I think they are doing great, moved them from the humidity dome last night and into their grow pots. I put them on a very light dose of Sensi Grow and Voodoo Juice, will add B-52 when it arrives. To keep the tent just a bit warmer I put the vent system on a temperature controller set to run between 74 and 80 Deg F. Adding the sixth bucket will change my reservoir capacity by 4 gallons so have to change my dosing just a bit.

Over all I think the girls are doing wonderfully so for now it will just be watching them grow up a bit. They should run about 3 more weeks in Veg before being moved in full on flower mode.

Ok, up to week 2 day 5 now of the grow and things are going well. Roots have not emerged from the pots yet but should be getting close. I am up to 50% on nutrients and the B-52 finally arrived and has been added. Sunday I will bump the nutrients up to full and leave them there for 2 weeks before starting to change over to Flower. The second Platinum P900 will be in this week as well so should be just about the right timing bring the lighting up to full power as well.

Looking good man. With 6 plants in DWC I hope you have a lot of space. It could get really crowded in there quickly [emoji106]
