new grow, seeds are out of the dirt

[tonyandgina]

i planted 5 of the feminized "church" strain seeds on the 27th, all 5 sprouted, but it seems as though only 4 will make it, 4 out of 5 isnt bad i guess. they are some pretty baby girls. here is a look at one of them, sorry the camera sucks, i have to use my cell for the pics. i didnt have any perlite left, and i wasnt aware of this, but there was a little in the potting soil. i will buy some, and use it whan i put them into my 5 gallon buckets. i am so excited, i cant wait to try these babies!!! i think i am going to veg for 4 weeks, then put into flowering. i am using 2 4' 3140 lumens each fluor tubes to start, i will add 2 more tubes and about 4-6 cfl's in a week. for flowering, i am in the process of buying either a 400 watt or a 600 watt hps system, depends on how much $ my newly aquired investor will put in towards the system, but like i said, that is still a month away! we'll just have to see what happens. i'll keep everyone posted with my new grow.

very good :thumbsup: but, next time, I suggest you get your seeds into the soil as soon as the shell cracks (or, before) ... the taproot is extremely fragile and sensitive to light ... good luck with your garden :smokin:

Good advice for a newbie. I like mine to come out a little. I've messed around with some just for the hell of it and found the tap root at under 1/4" is stronger than many think but beyond that length becomes increasingly delicate.
