dont forget 10-14 days for switching to Flower mode

My photoperiods didn't need any additional time after switching to 12/12 mate. One was ready at 52 days from switch to 12/12

I think if you need an additional 10-14 days after the switch its because the breeder is lying about the flowering time!

Im.confused now, everywhere I read it says it takes about 10 days for PP to start flowering

Just to add to the discussion, I haven't heard of a waiting time for the flowering period, after you switch to 12/12 you can start counting flowering time .

And thank you @KonopCh for the info, I'm running them already at 24/7, wanted to see if that's not too much .

One more thing concerning airdomes, I'm keeping the air pump in the tent with ambient temperatures being around 27, is that OK? I'm asking because as I understand the pump is taking air from her surroundings and I'm afraid that the air isn't maybe too hot for the roots?

I have reservoir outside of the tent in a room. Room is 20-26°C. Water temp is 18-21°C. I don't know how much °C is in the tray with water, but you don't have to worry about that. My temps inside tent are similar as yours, 25-31°C and I am sailing without problems.
We even discussed about compressed air from airpump last year. Someone said that you get hot air from those airpumps we use... And you need much powerful airpump (500W) and long lines (2m+) to heat that air. Or to get some troubles with hot air.

OK, nice. Yeah, I'm not having temperature problems in the tent or with the water, just wanted to make sure that the air-pump doesn't pump hot air to the roots.
Thanks.

DAY 1

Most of the soil babies popped their heads on 11.4., with an exception being the photos a day earlier, so I'm gonna call 11.4. day 1. Some minor problems with the germination but things are mostly fine . Did a mistake by putting the fluro light too far away which caused stretch in the coco girls and photo periods, I reacted on time with the soil girls as they are a day apart and didn't stretch as much when I figured out that I'm a doofus . Anyway, 10-15 cm away is more than enough for these lights. The seeds have been in water for 2 days and popped after another 2 days in the nursery pots, which is great by my standards :smoking:.

The photo girls are in the second column from left, day 2 for them, stretch is apparent:




Rest of the soil girls, 4 SAL's are on the left and 3 Glueberry OG's and a White Chem on the right:




DAY 2

Most of the soil girls look awful on the pictures of day 1, so here are some from the next day to show that everything is OK, really . One of the Glueberries didn't pop (Think Different will take it's place ) and one SAL is having some problems growing up.




The weak-ass SAL:




Photo girls in the second column on the left, day 3 for them:




Have a nice Tuesday folks .

dude they look a bit stretched out to me, is your light too high?

Yes they are and yes it was :smoking:. First time doing CFL lamps and I fucked up the light distance for the first couple of days, wrote about it in the description of the first days in both of the threads. Figured it out fast and they stopped stretching and later I just potted them a little bit deeper, like nothing happened . Thanks for the heads up dude .

I'll take a seat up here at the back, but i'll be watching, with interest.

Glad to have you, lurked through your Autopot grows and you got some amazing results, kudos to you .


DAY 5

Soooo, one of the Glueberries didn't pop, 2 of the Sour Alien Livers are having some problems in their seedling phase and the White Chem won't show it's first true leaves and it seems like they won't be coming out . One Think Different seed was put in a glass of water a couple of days ago and is now in the top right plug, waiting for it to germinate. That's about it, think there's nothing more to add. Conditions are nice, plants seem healthy overall and most of them germinated, so it's all cool .

Left 4 - SAL's, third column from the left are 2 GBOG and the last of the bunch is the scrawny White Chem:




The Sweet Cheese girls are at day 6:




DAY 7

Think Different showed it's head at day 6, so it's day 2 for her and day 8 for the photo girls . Nothing exciting to report, the girls got some Plagron Power Roots, 2 of the SAL's and 1 GBOG are doing great, one of the SAL's is lacking behind and still nothing from the White Chem .

Photo girls:




The auto crew:






The slacker SAL:




The White disappointment (TD in the back):




Thank you for watching .
