my first seed :)

[Ryanstein]

Ok, i have a seed i found from some pretty good bud, i planted it in a strofome cup. i filled the cup with potting mix and buryed my seed. do you think it will sprout? its sitting on my window sil at the moment, do you think this will be ok? or should it be sitting outside?

[Ryanstein]

by the way i didnt do the paper towel method, i think i read somewhere to just plant them directly into some soil, or maybe i was just stoned

[Garden Knowm]

Yes it will sprout...
You'd better get a book...
'cause after it sprouts your gonna fall in love.. and then it's gonna hurt deeply when if dies..

quick get a book... learn how to make a good home for your new baby

[Ryanstein]

how ofter should i water it?
how long untill it'll sprout?

can you offer any other advice/tips?

[IthoughtIknewitall]

it will if:
1.its a viable seed
2. its not too deep
3. the medium does not dry out
4. It is warm enough
Make sure your cup has good drainage and once it sprouts do not water until it drys out. A moisture meter is a valuable tool.
Let me know if it sprouts

[Ryanstein]

thanks for your help

nothing wrong with that method at all,
in fact its how nature intended it ,
i dont mind saying it agian
by germinating them you only save a few days in growing time,(3 days tops)
and know for sure you have a plant growing in the container and not waiting to see if the seed was any good
you just put the seed direct to soil and water it,
i mean,whats a week,?be safe,,dont risk having to move it unless ya must
start out in the proper container and you wont even half to transplant it
enjoy
good luck

You're going to need fluorescent lamps, along with some daylight tubes, because the winter sun is too weak for a window grow. Good luck with your first grow man. I remember mines, I had her under a 20 watt cool white and took care of it like it was a son. I got extremely happy when it started smelling skunky. A few days later..............









My mom killed it.

Also, remember the more lumens (or wattage) the better. I think the minimum with fluorescents for an ok grow are about 50 watts.

this light uses 25 watts of power]
i use two eachs 5o watts
it says its equivent to 125 watts each so =250watts wort of light
minus times deteriation i assume happns
i want 6 or 8
and at $5 a piece and big lots stores

im sure they are other self ballist floro lights (use regular 110 plug in
that work ok, if bright enough
these was brightens lumens i cound find

buy extras in case you break one or somethig since ya going on minimun light
ya dont want to make it have days with it
i give my at least six hours of sunshine thru teh window when i can a day

It inputs 50 watts of energy, but outputs about 125 watts ? Pretty cool.

Damn, I didn't see the pic at the bottom. You're talking a CF's, oh.

[bruiser]

I have 6 shop lights doubled tubes that throw off about 2100 lumen per tube times 12 brings it close to 30,000 lumens well over recommended,I harvested a couple of weeks ago and done real well...........

[bruiser]

should note that the tubes I use are used for plant growth they have full spectrum lighting
