8/16 saw first gemination from seed on paper towels.
8/17 transferred to seedling box in coco.
8/20 put 5 largest into hydro. 2 other sprouts still in seedling box, waiting on 3 more.
Using no medium, 3" net pots with neoprene collars.
Foreword note: The things I do with these plants through this grow shouldn't be seen as "the" way to do any of the techniques I'll use. If I use a ScrOG net and don't really do ScrOG correctly, that's to be expected. But I call it ScrOG just to fit into a category of and so noone mistakes me for claiming anything original, when it's just ScrOG. What I do is 90% stuff that I copy imperfectly from what people share online, and 50% of stuff I just make up or do because I feel like it. I don't claim any of it is the right way or even my way. It's just the way I do it.
The grow space for this is 16" deep by 32" wide, which is 3-1/2 square feet or 0.33 square meters. Vertically a have 8" for roots, 8" for stems, and a 14" high flowering area. I will have the flowering box surrounded by light on top, sides and bottom during flowering. I'm hoping to pump a lot of yield out of a essentially a 30 gallon flowering volume.
@Ragweed, I have this shelving unit in my closet. No tent. I hang a sheet of black paper with silver emergency blanket glued to it in front and back.

@professor, That's a great price. I'll be following your grow to see the results. I've been using a combination of 2' and 4' fluorescent T5s with a grow area of 12 sq. ft. and a total bulb wattage of 512W or 43 w/sq. ft. I'm pretty happy with them, but I like to experiment a bit, so I might give these a try. I'm sure you have it on your page somewhere, but what is the area of your grow tent? Thanks for the info and good luck with your grow.
@Ragweed, I’m using these right now. A combination of the red/blue and the warm white versions. 3 sets together. LED Grow Light, Aceple 2 Sizes... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0761KKJGQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Looks like you are as new at posting here as I am.
Another question- have you measured you EC or dissolved solids? Your grow is maybe a little more than a week ahead of mine and I'm going to compare notes since I am a real beginner at Aero or hydro growing.
I have not checked my ec yet because my meter is whacked. Got another one and will be checking in a few hours. Will post if I can figure out how.
@MikesGrow,
I take the plug of coco out with the seedling, and gently rinse the coco off the root. I don't measure the solution density, but am using about 2/3 the GH expert program recommendation for nutrients.
Looking good. I would let it grow maybe 5 to 6 nodes and top to the 3rd node for mainlining next time as it gives the roots more time to develop. Either way it should be a great grow best of luck.
Interested in how to do this. So my question is, after you put the sprout in the seedling box for a few days in coco, before you put them in the net cups do you remove the seedlings from the coco?
