Looking forward to what you will do, since its kinda like my project, just with more plants. Good Luck Hopan!
One question, what's up with this "Disclaimer"? Are you serious or are you trying to remain "stealthy" on the Internet (which you pretty much already are)?

^I find this line oddly confusing....

hopanshrubman said: Currently I have 6, 27 watt CFL's on a strip, totaling 158 total watts (Which I know is not enough for three plants) which I will double or 2.5 by next friday.
As for your current amount of light, that's plenty, especially if you haven't sprouted them yet.
Inverted told me in my journal that he used "I used (2) 42 watters and (4) 30 watters to veg these 5 plants, but I started with about 10 and culled the males" (Inverted 2010, All CFL...journal).
If you add up the watts, its like 204 watts, or about 20 watts per plant (when he had 10 plants growing at once). So, for baby seedlings, 158 watts for 3 is plenty, maybe even a little too much. But if you got the money to pay the bill, always go for more light. But from Inverted's experience, more is not always needed.
Anyway, looking forward to see these AK's Growing

Pretty much. But when I did mine, I buried my seed dry and sprouted it from within the soil. I buried mine about 1/2" in the soil, then covered it with soil.
I'm guessing it wouldn't be any different for pre-soaked seeds either. About 1/2" depth.
And when you plant them, don't forget to wrap some clear plastic sheeting over the pots and attach it to each of your pots outer edge with rubber bands. This will keep the humidity up, which seedlings love.
Hope that helps.

Wait, are you joking around Harry? You should know what that is, considering your extensive educational background.
If not, we all forget sometimes right? I had to look it up too, but the name did sound familiar...The first thing I thought was "Its radical dude!".
Here's what I found from this website:
Quote:
A radicle (8) (an embryonic root) is first to emerge when germination starts.
As for the "plant seeds dry" thing, I think he was refering to what I did, which was plant them in the soil dry, then soak the medium (in my case soil). There's many ways to germinate a seed, just do some searching if you wanna try something different than the classic "put seed in soil" procedure.
Wish the best for your Grow, ~ TrueHerbCrystal ~

I know right?
That Mylar film is SOoo cool....
When I first put mine up, it looked like I was going to start growing inside a frickin' spaceship! :hoveringufo:

Pretty trippy stuff!
Question about the seed soaking: So wait, you are using Big Bloom, a nutrient mix used for flowering, for soaking your seeds in? Where did you learn that trick? What's the benefit of having those nutrients inside the seed?

I know, I'm just messing with ya! ![:awesome: :awesome:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/awesome.gif)
It would be impossible if your seedlings grow that fast, unless you own a time-machine (I sure don't).
Can't wait to see your babies: those count the most in this journal.
Now, I gotta snap some photos now myself.

Awesome photos man!
I* actually kinda of lost interest for 2 reason....1 you got some fully-grown ones from your friend (no sense watching those) and 2 you only post photos in the OP, which I thought for the longest time you just didn't update your journal photo.......now I know differently....
But nice photos man...so many! I really like those fish-eye ones...is that a special lens adapter?
And where did you get that killer mirror-like Mylar? I want some! Looks super efficient....![:crazy: :crazy:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/crazy.gif)
And how did you put that water-mark on there? I'm guessing your a photographer, since those photos look unusually beautiful....
Look good thus far. ![:thumbup: :thumbup:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/thumbup.gif) ~ TrueHerbCrystal ~

yeah, I figure the same thing for my grow too....
In the beginning, Inverted and Harry were giving me lots of useful advice, then later, I don't hear from them, or anyone, so I guess I'm doing good, or my ONE plant is boring and uninteresting, so there's that too....
I try not to take it too personal....they are likely just doing something more important, like real life stuff...who knows.
Just try to think of how other people in the future will think when they see your journal. That's what makes me think doing all these updates are worth it. But when no ones comments at all, I start to think: "Why do I bother? No one's watching anyway.....". That's just how it goes around here: some are watching, but you don't know who, and very little comments. I think its mostly because people comment on the big ones, like Integra's or Harry's, or Inverted's...we are the small guys, so ours aren't as interesting (especially my one plant).
What can ya do? ![:shrug: :shrug:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/shrug.gif) ~ TrueHerbCrystal ~

Cool!
Glad you are doing LST....with paper clips! That's new. So, what plants are you doing them too? The cheater ones or the ones you actually grew?
I wish I did LST. I am doing a little right now, just for the budz, and its great. I use those fuzzy pipe cleaners....looks so cool. Can't wait to see your paper-clip craziness....
Are you going to screen the budz too? I sure hope so.
I'll be looking for those pics. :thumbs: ~ TrueHerbCrystal ~
