Hey Guys

So this is my first grow EVER. its amazing to watch it grow.

So I germinated seeds using paper towel method and planted them.Took about a week for the root to break through and start sprouting

Seed strain : not sure

Time elapsed so far : 3 weeks(see pics)

Grow area : Outside - changing to indoor during vegetative stage

Stealth level needed : high

My questions are :

1. Is it is already in its vegetative state or still in the seedling stage?

2. What kind of lights should i use at the seedling/vegetative stage and flowering stage? (CFL's /HID's/LEDS's?) - any link to a cost efficienteBaylights that I can purchase?

3. When is it ready for me to do 12/12 to bring it into flowering stage?

4. By looking at the leaves in my most recent pic , through experience are their any deficiences that are apparent?Right now it is growing outside in a pot, and i bring it in at night....however once it reaches its vegetative stage i want to transplant them into 3 seperate pots and put them under some lights in my shed.

5. Is there a chance of those roots tangling? Only wanted to transplant once I had 5 nodes but should i be transplanting asap?
Thanks in advance for any help

youre off to a decent start. under the circumstances id recommend the marijuana growers guide. mel frank and ed rosenthal bothwrote one and they also put one out together but it really old.

Thanks man

Transplanted them as I was advised roots will tangle

I know you'll probably not do this, but... Crop the top off at the third set of leaves and again when those tops have put out two pairs of leaves. Use CFL lamps, cool white for veg, warm white for bloom. With the topping you'll not loose anything but have a nice bushy plant instead of a long stringy plant. This is much better for the cfl lamps as they have to be within inches to do much good. It takes quite a few CFLs to light a 3' + tall plant.

thanks for the advice.supercropping? i have to learn how to do this first. yes i really want a bushy plant with good yields as i dont have room to store anything too tall.

Supercrop crop top pinch etc are all words to lookup to help you with things for height management and yield increase. just do whatever the plant will respond well to since you don't know the strain. Cold light during veg warm during bloom, an hps works well throughout if you only have a one light setup

A mistake was made in putting 3 seeds so close together in one container. Sorry but remember, plants grow.

Cheers for the advice guys.

gotta do some research and get proper lights on these plants , they are to small for their age.

A trick I learned is to take the growing tip that would have been pinched off and instead take super sharp pointed scissors and snip the top 2/3rds off. doing this you will get 3-4 tops instead of two." F#*ck I Missed = FIMed

cheers man

ok so made a small setup to get through the seedling stage

will transfer to 400w metal halide setup for vegetative and flowering stage...

plants are in plain soil with some perlite and a little bit of dolomite lime. PH level sitting at 6.5
