Alright the time is near and the research is almost over. First timer trying to pop my seed. The plan is Closet hydro(ebb n flow) space is 3ft deep x 4ft wide x 6.5ft high. thinking about using 400w metal halide and 400w high pressure sodium and planning to grow the infamous white rhino(herd this was a good strong strain for beginners). Once I germ my seeds, Im going to place the sprouts(root down) in small rockwool cubes and use water only. When I can see roots coming out the rockwool I will place the cubes into clay balls(cant remember the name of them at this time) and soak the sprouts for 15 mins every two hrs for 18 hrs and no soak for 6hrs. I will use half nute solution for week one then use full nutes for week two and then switch to flower in week three where I will do the same soak except for only 12hrs. Does this sound like an effective stratagy? Im a little lost on how to treat the seedlings in the begining stages(only seen clones) Feels like ive come to the right place for tips and info so thanks to anyone who can help me fire up

Hello GZZ, You say your gonna flower at 3weeks from seed...won't know what sex they are at that time. Did I understand you are gonna give seedlings 50% nutes? IMO that is too high. I would start out at about 200ppm's( hope you got a meter for hydro) and work your way up by bumping it a couple hundred each day or 2. I would also cut your floods in half(# not time) for the first week or so to encourage rooting. These are just the opinions I've developed using my 2x4 ebb & flo table...which just happens to have a bunch of white rhinos in it at about 4 weeks flower now. You picked a good strain IMO, the rhino loves the flood Look forward to watching your grow, welcome to MP, and...uh...hydroton

Thanks for the nute tips and warm welcome budders, around how many weeks of growth intell you can determan sex? also, once you know its female should you switch to flower right away? Youre table looks great, as the plants grow are the rockwool cubes sufficiant support for them to stay standing or do you then place the cubes into something else(like hydroton)
