Solem 2014

Hey everyone,
 
Last night I dropped the first 48 seeds for the 2014 season. Over the past few weeks I have put together a grow area using t8's, metal shelving and some other make shift reflective materials I had around the house. I'm looking forward to this year as I am expanding my grow by about 4 times (I may have over done it but we will see).
 
Here is the home that the kids will be in for the next few months. I plan on adding more lighting on the shelve below the top one when I transfer the plants from solo cups to 1 gal containers.

And here are the kids waiting to emerge.

That's a very ample list, Solem!  Should provide lots of entertainment
during the grow season!  Those shelving units are awesome grow shelves!
 
Good luck with the 2014 grow. 
 
Thanks Paul! Yes, the shelves are going to work out much better than my little set up last year I think.
 
Good luck to you with your grow next year and have a great holiday season.
 
Same to you and yours, Solem.
 
Wooohoooo!
 
First seeds have popped!

CGN 22091, CGN 20800 and Fatalii have emerged first.
 
I also put in a bid to get a plot in a community garden. I will know by the end of january if I will have one for the upcoming season. My plan is to do half peppers and half vegetables. Here is the plan that I mapped out...

The left side will be for peppers and it will give me more room for more peppers without raising concern from the better half  :P

Nice plan, Solem; good luck getting going!

Thanks Paul! My plan this year is to isolate the ideal phenotypes from each plant. Thanks for showing an interest in my glog. I am planning to share my best results as far as seed stock and you will be on my list to share with. I hope to create some new crosses and see what will become of them.
 
Take care,
 
Rom
 
So I got an awesome early Christmas present from Walt (Vegas Chili). I massive pack of over 20 different seeds and a few dried pods and powder to go along with them. Thanks Walt!

Most of my seeds from my first round of germination have sprouted. I think around 80% have popped. Its gonna be a fiery season. :fireball: 
 
I hope everyone has a great holiday season. 
 
That's a nice grow list you have there. I had a similar shelf setup to yours. I had three banks of two lights on each shelf. It provided a nice even light. Did you plant all the seeds at the same time?

I planted the first list all at once and then about a week or two later after some had popped, I planted the second list. I am considering starting a bunch more wilds but just not sure if I will have enough space at plant out.
 
I am really happy with the shelving unit so far. I love the wiring so that you can hang anything pretty much anywhere.
 
Thanks for stopping by!
 
 
Here is a little update:

Carbon should keep you nice and warm!  Glad to hear the
shelving unit is working great for you!
 
Happy New Year!
