 LSD and Blue Moon Rocks, indoor grow tent, ebb and flow, 800 w (updated 12/18/11)

Here we go boys and girls. After harvesting my last plants in April 2009 I am finally able to scratch the itch i've had since then. There are ten seeds thus far. Two for each strain. Friday I spent getting the grow area arranged and situated. Then Friday evening I put the seeds in tap water for about 28 hours. So last night I removed them from their soak and placed them in a moist towel to continue the germination process - per here. I noticed this morning that several of the plants have already broken the shell and have taproots poking out. These BOG seeds were purchased in late 2008 thru seedbay. The Reservoir Seeds were bought thru seedbay in early January 2009. They have been kept vacuum sealed in a refrigerator.
I'll probably update this thing weekly with pictures. The date of the most recent update will be in the heading of this thread, after bump it each week. Here's some pictures. This will be a legal grow as i am in compliance with all state and local laws. 
I like grow logs with lots of pictures so that's what I intend to do here - a picture log for those who don't care to read anything.
    
^Germinating on 10/07/11
  
The lights were actually done a ghetto way. I put in some screws in the ceiling and suspended some shop lights from them. They are suspended by a bunch of zip ties. this makes it super easy for me to adjust the lights as these vegetative plants get bigger. I anticipate that this grow log will evolve and I will add a tent and at least two 400 watt HPS lights. I'll also probably have to get some inline fans and a carbon filter. I was actually thinking of getting two grow tents. One that is 8'x4'x7' to put two flowering trays in there, and then having another one that is 4x4x7 for vegging clones and a mother plant or two or three. we shall see if i get any promising phenotypes out of these plants. I'm starting with ten seeds in anticipating of having to pull two of them or so. Ask if you have any questions.

Ooh, looks nice.
--------------------
In order to grow good weed you need to be part carpenter, electrician, plumber, biologist, geneticist, chemist, and very willing to get dirty.
I've been working with power tools since I was 8, my dad is an electrical engineer who owned a 280 gal fish tank, and I studied biology with a specialty in genetics. Getting dirty comes naturally. I think my parents inadvertently trained me to be a weed grower.
See what you think on my first try.

Thanks fellas. Three days in (last night) and ALL of the seeds have cracked open and are ready to be placed in rockwool. It's going better than I had ever hoped it would. 100% germ rate in 48 hours, after two years.  So in just a few minutes im going to put them in the rockwool. I imagine tomorrow I will need to put the lights on em.

nothing too much going on here. I'm about to see some green. The lights are on now and the seedlings are looking for it. Tomorrow they should be lookin much better. growth is surprisingly quick thus far. I hope it continues. i started the light this morning at about 10 am. I set the timer to have the light cycle be 6 am to midnight. that's an 18 hour light cycle.

Can't wait to see the BMR!
Have you decided on nutrients?

Day 3 above ground!
 
SD
Group Shot before rearranging them
I'll take more pics later. all the sprouts are out of their shells now. The SD's are moving along the quickest and the furthest behind at this point is one of my Sour Bubble's. The difference in growth between the furthest two appears to be a days worth of growth. I've been thinking about adding a 400w mh to this veg cycle. not sure about that though.
up to this point i have been saturating the rockwool cubes each night before bed (when the lights go out) and again in the am when the lights are turned back on. ive just been using tap water. I'm not too sure when to add nutrients so I will have to do a bit of research and get on it in the next week or so.

I think you start adding nutes when the plant has 4 sets of true leaves, and starts branching.
Looking good!

A few of mine did that, I wasn't sure if they were actually trichromes or not. Well cool, learn something new daily.

hmmm, these things really haven't grown as much as I would have thought from day 3 to day 8.
FROM MY LAST GROW FOR COMPARISON:
These were the two that were furthest in development up to the points listed.
Day 6
Day 14
I think I will update this again on the 14th day. That'll be wednesday.
