New to this site, First time grow

Thank goodness putting up a tent happens only once.

Then imagine doing a 6 ft tent in a corner of a basement with 6’1" of height available.

Since I’m new here, I’m restricted on how often I’m allowed to say thanks for the help or answer questions

I wasn’t planning on using that divider… just leave it open, I need to add another light anyway.

As for the 5 in water, at 70 hours, only three are even trying to pop and of those, only one shows signs of any real life, meaning, yea there is a sprout, but its real slow in coming to life…
Actually I’m in 5th Wheel RV… I was amazed that it fit into that slide out…at 72"
I’m retired and travel full time…
Update…The system is up and running, has been all day, all closed up…light is on, the timer is programmed, air circulation fans are good… the tent internal temp is holding at 77…room temp …humidity holding at 62… I think its time to plant them… ?..lights are scheduled to come on at 3am…16 on 8 off …the light will be on when its daylight and they can sleep when I do…quieter too…

70 hours is a long time in water. Did they sprout tails and were they resting in the dark? I do a 36-48 hour tap water soak, into a wet paper towel in a sealed zip lock bag. Typically by day 2 I have a 1/4” tap root :love_you_gesture:

One of the five did pop a tail, but its still very small…three of the others are still trying… the seed is opening and I can see the tail…but…
I wonder if these 5 were just too old to be viable ? like I said, I dug them out of my old cleaning tray…
There are now three in the dirt…lets see what happens…
Last night the tent temp dropped to 72…room temp, I’m shooting for a constant of 77. but at night it still drops… supposed to get cold tonight…

You can always wrap them in a moist paper towel and seal them in a zip lock bag. Some old seed especially unknown bag seeds can take a little longer but the moist paper towel and ziplock will do the trick :love_you_gesture:

Hey guys,
The update is that I now have four little ones just now saying hello… which means as suggested, I am going to need better lighting… This one got my attention but for one thing…its not dimmable… per se… Anyone have any input or experience on this…it did get good reviews…
