Here's my first grow attempt and log. I'm running under a 250w vegging CFL. Daytime temps ~82. Night ~70. My only major concern is getting watering right.

Here's my new babies at 1 week from putting seed into soil. 2 seeds germinated, and several more seeds have been germinated using the paper towel method and will be a week behind these. If anyone notices a problem, or has advice, feel free to chime in.

I'd appreciate opinion on progress as I go. Right now plants are in 16oz party cups with seed starter soil. At transplant they will go into FFOF soil.

Ok, it's week 2 from planting the seed, and this is my only plant right now. The leaves look a bit droopy but the top soil seems pretty dry. Pics attached. I'm hoping the plant is ok, my main concern is proper watering. I don't think it could be rootbound yet so I'm waiting at least a few days before transplanting into FFOC.

I'd appreciate opinions on this plant's health. Leaves seem to be droopy but color looks good (to me). Still experimenting on germination. I tried the paper towel method and got 3 sprouts, but none appeared above ground after putting in soil. Either I damaged them in the process, planted too deep (don't think so), watering is way off, or my no name seed starter soil is junk.

I'll keep trying. I'm going to try to find some rockwool. There are no hydro shops so hopefully a major chain store has it.
