When my seeds germinate and I place them in the dirt. Do test the ph of my water and then water the seed? How much water should each seed get starting out?

Like next to nothing when germinating. I use spray bottle and give them a mist or two.

Looking good dude. Have you given any thought to joining Bergmans Lab? There are some really cool training modules there, and a few different tools to use.

I have, I really wanted to wait to see if the forum will go on sale by itself. But here in a month or so if it doesn’t happen I’ll just pay for it all. Thank you!!

Actually this is my very first grow. I’ll tell ya what it takes, is money haha I have invested in good lighting, meters, soil. It pays off in the end to go about things the right way. It sure makes it a hell of alot easier as well. We gotta have the perfect enviorment before we can have the perfect plants!! :call_me_hand::call_me_hand: you will do just as good brosky!

Yes, I’m learning the money part​:joy::joy:…never would I have thought it was like this. Growing up I always kinda thought very simple. A little water, a little dirt, and a lot of sunshine you’d be good. Way more involved, but I’m loving it. So many new ideas and a lot of good people helping other good people.

When the seeds reach full germination and are ready to place in the dirt. Do I just give them/dirt a couple sprays with the bottle sprayer once a day, or is it as the soil looks dry?

I prepare my medium before introducing the seed to it. It gets dampened enough to be visibly damp but not wet. No way to tell you how much that is: a tablespoon or two? I usually give them a teaspoon or so every morning and use an atomizer and mist the inside of a clear dome placed over them to raise humidity. Use a 24/0 schedule to promote root development.

Remember that the seedling derives it’s moisture from the air for the first two weeks. Once a taproot is established you can start feeding and watering as a plant.

So @dbrn32 back on the Phresh filter topic.
If you remember, I am having a problem finding a carbon filter to keep up with my fan. I have a 6in ac infinity and was wondering, if I bought an 8" phresh(700cfm rated) I could use a reducer from the filter to my 6". You think that would work out?

Im trying account for the drop in cfm my fan gets when hooking up a filter. I can’t afford to have horrible airflow in the attic. So I figured buying an oversized filter would allow more air in.

@Countryboyjvd1971 I need some help with a carbon filter. Long story short

I have 2, 6 inch AC Infinity fans in my 3x3x6. Im in the attic so the more airflow the better to keep my temps down.

I need a carbon filter that will keep up with the amount of air I need to move. The filter I bought bogs my fan down to much creating a ton of positive pressure.

I was looking at the phresh 8 inch × 16 inch filter(750cfm) in hopes it would do the trick. I was planning on using a reducer to go from the 8" filter to the 6" fan. How does that sound? Do you have a better suggestion?

I would like to hear countryboy’s thoughts on this. I upsize my filters, but usually not the flange size. The filter I have here is 6x24" and rated for something like 550cfm. The fan I use it with is 6" rated at 350cfm or there about.

I saw the square type carbon filter inserts for the hepa air scrubbers. Hell I would even be down to build my own, cant be to hard to bend some sheet metal to make a “hood” that I could put big filters in.

Well I know going down from fan to filter is terrible. But I thought for a sec, what about going down from filter to fan? Might work out. Common sense tells me that the more area the filter has the more air it could move.
