First grow log - 3 different strains (updated: 7-30)

I just received communication that my buddy got the cheap seeds I bought from cannibusseeds.
I did a little homework on the quality, but decided to go for it anyway. seemed like a good deal.
I'm new and recently got the opportunity for free equipment and 3 free clones. Everything was going swimmingly till I went on vacation. A (not so) trusted buddy was to watch out for them and didn't. One of the drip heads had fallen off the rockwool cubes and actually fallen off the table.
This in turn ended up drianing the entire 25 gal kiddie pool on to the floor. Pick your friends wisley. Lesson learned.
Anywho, let's start the show.
_______________________________________________________________________
I got 56 seeds from cannibisseeds and i am going to start all of them in a AeroGarden 6 (with optional garden starter tray)
This has a spot for 60 seeds. I will be planting them all.
_______________________________________________________________________
Germinating the seeds. I am soaking them in water for 24hrs. Let's begin
_______________________________________________________________________

I am working with 3 different strains, and this is the ultimate test to see if they are what they say they are, and not just bagseed.
White Widdow - 28 Super Silver Haze - 12 Himalayan Gold - 14
Grand Total - 54
Now when I was younger I hear of people say that you could tell a seed was female by sticking it in a bowl of water and the female seeds would float to the middle, and the male seeds would float to the sides.
(again old wives tale) but, if this is the case...
All but 2 look good to me.
All the seeds have been on a 24 hr soak inside those shot glasses. I have moved them to the AeroGarden and set on the "Vegitable" setting.

all have been transplanted....
I cut a rock wool cube up to put around the little grow pellets.
Here's how the first 4 look. These are the one's that first took off.
Then I added a whole bunch more....
________________________________________________________________________
7-24-09
The temp is never above 80F. Right Now I have 1 - 1000W on 24/7 when they go to the Flower 12/12. I will turn the other 1000W on and set them both to 12/12. Quote:
(Actually, one will be for 12 the other will be for 11 starting 30 min after the first and turning off 30 min before)
This plant is 23 inches already!!! the others need to catch up!

Well, it's been a while since my last update. Lost the camera. But here's updated pics.
I really am wondering the quality of the seeds I bought. They are in flower but they don't smell bad at all. Even after brushing up against them. Nothing.
There are a total of 8 plants that are female. 1 of those is a different strain. It started out as a "pigmy" we thought, but came to be the BEST looking one of the bunch.
and basically here is the rest. My whole table is FLOODED with this. don't get me wrong. there are buds, but they are so spaced apart, and every day I have to bend the branches down into the netting to keep from growing into the light.
......

I'm having a water leak problem. it keeps draining my reservoir. I just added some 6 mil plastic down to hopefully fix the problem. Doesn't seem to be dripping anymore.
The indica looking strain is doing quite nice. it's getting ripe
The sativa looking stuff is looking better, but still not like the other.

I will post in this thread when something has changed. (edited)
Should I add the nutrient tablets that came with it, or should I use something other than water for young seedlings?
Enjoy the log!

Please don't use nutrients until they are at least 2 weeks old or have 5 nodes or so... You'll only do damage and nothing positive will result... Plants are meant to deal with what they have when they are young and don't need help from the outside world... Just let them be and they will probably tell you when they need your assistance!

more along the line of what I thought as well. I kept the nutrient tabs out for now.

Definitely keep us updated on how this works out. Are you going to be using the aerogarden for any plants once they full mature, or just for germination?

Just for germination... Once they get big enough these pellets will just remove and be placed into a rockwool cube and placed under the VEG light.
Updated with another pic.

everyday more are germinating and pop'n up.
A few are falling over, but I am not messing with them in hopes they will fix themselves.
Enjoy, more pics

Can you lower the light any more? I'm betting the reason they're falling over is because they're trying to reach up for the light.

how many nodes do you think I should let these get to before i place them in rockwool and put under 24 HPS?

Well judging by the root structure already, these suckers should start their 24 HPS
Might be doing that tonight.
Total Germinated so far at 14 days into this from seed: (cheap ass seeds I might add) (hopefully of a decent quality)
White Widow Free: 2/15 White Widow: 5/13 Himalayan Gold: 4/14 Super Silver Haze: 5/12
I must add that I made a slight mistake by using one of my Gal milk jugs from a previous mushroom grow to water my unit. I am growing mycellium on my grow pelets
Just goes to show you that tiny little spores will get anywhere!

ok, so I transplanted 4 plants with the most root structure.
I woke up this morning, and my table had broken and drained my water on the floor. (yet again)
This hobby is driving me NUTS!!! I have never experienced such disasters! so i put it back together and set up a little rig.
I don't know what's up with my camera, but it's putting these lines in the pics.
let's hope for the best! 3 white widow, 1 super silver haze.

Most cameras have a hard time with HPS lighting for some reason, especially camera phones. At any rate, what are your plans for the kids now that they're starting the transition to rockwool cubes? I'm a little confused, are you putting them into rockwool for the transition to soil? If you're going the soil route, moving them straight into the soil would probably keep the transplant shock to a minimum. If you're going hydro, rockwool -> coir?
Keep us updated, though; can't wait to see them when they've done a bit of growing up!

they are going from the little grow pelets to rockwool cubes strictly hydro.
nutrients are in the resivoir.

Just keep a close eye these little guys. I got these same seeds and a shit load of them were male, hope you have better luck. But the seeds seem to be turning out decent, probably would be a lot better if I wasn't cramming so many and one spot and took better care of them. peace.
