Dinafem Blue Widow - 1st Grow

1st Grow .... building the lights was a piece of cake, now comes the tricky part ... actually growing the plants !!! Preparation Created a seedling / clone nursery with a 2 foot overhead light bar holding 4 100w (1600 lumen) 6500K cfls and a 60w 2700K LED. Ran it for 24 hours to test heat in the 24x48x24 space. Temp at the level of the seedling pots was 79° but the humidity was low in the 20s. Added a tray with water and paper towel wicks and brought the humidity up to 38%. When they're ready, I'll move the plants to a 2 x 4 x 5 Vivosun grow tent for veg with the DIY LEDs, but for now, they're in a temporary nursery. Day 1 12-30-2017 Started 5 seeds in a glass of RO water with seaweed extract. They sank after 6 hours and I transferred them to a paper towel well dampened with the RO water/seaweed mix, spinkled them with Mykos, and folded the paper towel. I place it in the germination tent in a light proof wrap at 79° and 35% humidity. Day 2 21-31-2917 Checked the seeds 24 hours after starting and found visible roots on all of them. Made a mix of 3 parts Fox Farm Happy Frog to 1 part Cost of Maine Stonington Blend for the seedling pots (RootMaker), filled them, moistened them with the RO water / seaweed extract, sprinkled Mykos into the shallow holes for the seeds, planted them root down and put them under the cloning dome to maintain humidity. Day 3 The ambient humidity outside the germination area is very low so even with the paper towel reservoir the soil is drying out. I moistened all of the pots and I cut a 3 layer damp paper towel template with holes over the seeds to keep the top moist. They all seem to be doing alright except for one with the seed casing stuck around the stem. I'll have to figure that out once it's a little stronger. I'm anxious to see what next week will bring
