Datil Patch's 2011 Grow Log

Sorry for the bad pick from my Phone, but here are the first 404 seeds stated on 1-19-2011. The large trays are 192 cell Plantel trays. I used a light cable to build a warming table with 3/4" pink foamboard. I have my fingers crossed otherwise. I will post a list in a bit.

The trays are Plantel Commercial trays. These suckers are heavy duty! They are made for a rack system, so I had to improvise with a rubbermaid flat tote to bottom water them. It is really too large... I may just Vacu-form my own watering pans when I have some time from casting for orders or blasting names in bricks.

Yeah, I was thinking of going with Speedling trays but as they are made of Styrofoam, I know from experience they would not last me more than a season.

Great list DP, hope your cat doesnt eat them.

 

[txskunk]

OH man thats one hell of a line up my friend, looking forward to this one ill pull my chair right up front! much karma

 

[Datil Patch]

Great list DP, hope your cat doesnt eat them.

I don't let the cats out in my workshop. So I should be safe there.

My heating table has only been getting the seed trays up to 75F, so I pulled the top sheet of foam to replace it with some Masonite I had to see if I could get more heat transfer. The LED cable was blackend from the built up heat between the foam panels. I'm going to be ordering a bonafidy plant heating pad for starting seeds tonite or tomorrow. Just gotta find the best price on one to go under the 26" long trays.

Will post a pic of the LED cables shortly.

 

[muskymojo]

That looks like it would work pretty good. Why are you giving up on the DIY approach? I think there's a certain satisfaction when you DIY. by the way!

 

[Datil Patch]

The problem is the blackend section across the middle. I am concerned about a fire.

 

[Datil Patch]

Alright with the masonite on top for 5 hrs, the temp 1" deep in random cells is 82 F. Which is in the target range. Now lets hope I didn't screw the seeds in the first week at too low a temp. I will try to use this for the rest of my seed-out but next season, I will get a germination mat.

 

[Datil Patch]

well 1 seed popped. Sweet Chocolate. but it retained it's seed coat. Maybe in a few days I can try the surgical removal method... The temp has dropped on the table to about 80F. So I guess I gotta either get an insulation box built or set up the lampkits I got at HD to put some top heat on these things.

 

[Datil Patch]

Well tonight we have had a few more pop.

Dorset Naga x2
Red 7 Pot x2
Dundicut x1

I'm starting to feel a little releived about the low temps for the first week.
