Excuse the cross posting but the content is going to be the same anyway so coffee - pasta from the grow off:-

Day 2 update for the Blue (hydro) and Red (coco) attempts at this madness:-



So, I planted the seeds quite deep in the Jiffy Cubes to try and avoid the usual initial stretch and it kinda worked but one of them (Coco) ended up-side-down and needed a little help to find the light -



That one was the good Hydro one by the way - here is likkle Coco ;o)



Dumb Arse, Luckily, looking like she has the fight of 'Little KO' and is now fighting for her right to survive ;o)





Sorry if cross posting is not allowed, but I technically have four grows going on at the moment and germinating some seeds for a mate while trying to fix the forums ;o)

I may swap them around as I think Coco with the confused roots might work better in the very limited net pot I have to use for the Hydro grow

Now for my day 3 update ;o)

Anyone fancy a pint of Stella to celebrate the Tropical Team winning ;o)



It's good beer - 'On Tap' ;o)



Fresh with load of bubbles...

And ALL under a single 30 watt Invisible Sun R-Strip over clocked to 60watt using the cool orange heat sinks. God I love me some Invisible Sun

Day 5 Update on both Hydro and Coco - Tropical Cookies - In One Pint Containers.

I really need to sort out a RES as the Hydro is going to need some sort of water cooling and at least H202 and Root Rot Prevention/Cure at some point and dosing a pint is not happening in my brain while trying to accommodate root mass -

As usual I am glad they are still alive at this point - as it is so easy to mess them up at this stage especially still being a noob ;o)

Day 7 - Week One Update.

I accidentally broke the stem on one of the seedlings (the Hydro) and the Coco just hasn't done anything apart from look like a static wax work seedling.



So I am attempting to get the broken one rooted from what was left but not hopeful as she only has the original seed leaves. I have dropped another seed into water and will consider dropping another depending on how well the Coco does.



Totally take the blame for the Hydro stem break fail, but the Coco one is not so clear as the original seed leaves have been like a solid wax since the original germination. Hopefully it is just doing it's thing under the hood ;o) To be fair the Hydro one had a good root going on until I broke it off :-(

On the plus side if it does germinate it's not going to be as Stretchy as it was before & for a double plus, If the 3rd seed germinates I will have to buy another pint of Stella - Always a plus side is at least possible.



3x Seeds down - only 2 spares left!

The Hydro one was the one that started upside down as far as I remember (which is not a clarification at all) but pretty sure I used the upside down one for the Hydro attempt.
