First Time Hydroponics

Disaster of a week, but could have been much worse. Day 9 and finally had 2nd seed pop at the start of the week and it lost it's shell (husk) coming out of the Rapid Rooter and I had to remove a small "skin holding the cotyledon leaves together. Seems a little weak compared to Bagseed # 1. MK Ultra and Amnesia Haze seeds have germinated but the tap root is incredibly slow to grow. Inspected the seeds by looking into the root plug and they seem to be alive and moist, but growing so slowly. Day 10. Smoke detectors went off full blast at around midnight. Holy shit.......... My humidifier that is several years old caught fire!! The smoke was intense black plastic smoke and I cannot believe that my entire grow tent did not go up. The humidifier was sitting in the corner and just fried and caught fire. Flames were about 12-18". Pulled all power and threw the bucket of nutrient water sitting in my grow tent on the fire to extinguish. My exhaust fan did an amazing job of cleaning the air. After all is said and done, it was a very scary experience. Day 11. Cleaned outer filter wrap on air extraction unit and threw out humidifier. Plant #1 was pretty much dead. Was closest to the flames and obviously got exposed to too much heat. I am watching Plant #2 for signs of growth - put a lollipop stick next to it and marked the height to monitor. Decided to put another Bagseed into a plug and start again. This grow seems doomed form the start..... Day 13. One seedling survived. It is an unknown that came fro Colorado. It was given to me by a friend who believes it to be a Sativa dominant strain - we will see. I am not 100% convinced that it will survive, seems to have a very weak root system. Also went ahead and started the germination process on 9 other seeds that came from a relative in California. Unknown strain. Decided to germinate seeds and proceed with grow from best growing healthiest 4 plants that make it. After mastering this first grow, I will try again with my remaining seeds from Amsterdam (1 x GSC, 2 x Amnesia Haze, 5 x OZ Kush and 3 x White Widow. But feel the need to perfect this before I move the the real stuff. Day 14. The Sole survivor, has a very weak root system in the Rapid Rooter plug and it is propped up by the clay pebbles of the hydro system. Seems healthy, but jury is still out on of it'll make it. Fingers crossed that there is plenty of root development going on in the next 7 days.
