First Grow, Giving it a shot!

Hey y'all, this is hopefully the beginning to a lengthy and successful grow log! This is not exactly my first time growing, but it is my first time growing from a seed.

The Info:I purchased 4 seeds from my buddy, spent 15 bucks for them, but i could not find any for the life of me. He said that 2 of them were possibly feminized, and the others he was not sure. Called them Purple Frost... whatever.

In the Beginning I was unsure, and somewhat wary of my methods to germinate these seeds. I was nervous of the napkin drying out, or over watering it and wasting the seeds that were hard for me to get. Instead, i decided to soak them in distiled water overnight, and the next afternoon i put them in my medium, seeding soil. This was about a day and a half ago.

Waiting to sprout It is coming up on 38 hours now, and they still have not broken the surface. Given I DID NOT germinate them, I figure it may take a few days to see a sprout.

SetupBelow is pictures of my set up until i get a sprout. I am not feeling to get too financial about this until i can actually sprout (I have only started from clones, which i was able to grow almost to flowering before handing them over to my uncle.)

Comments are greatly appreciated!!!! REMEMBER: This is only a setup until they sprout, this method is what i felt was best without using germination first.

I am using a heating pad under my computer case to regulate temp. because my bedroom runs cool.

If all goes well, I will be constructing a grow box designed by Camoxnhx (HUGE THANKS!!!) which i already have the 6 23watt CFL's to use, and seems very effective.

Here is a link to his work, again, thanks a lot.

i was also wondering how do i make a signature on here? I was just wanting to put in it that this was all just fictitious and I really would never associate myself with something like this. :cool:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

And,
You may want to cover the pots with something or paint. For the roots to not see light.

Good luck...

still no sprout after about 52 hours, I'm starting to wonder if they are not getting enough heat. I still need to purchase a temperature gauge, and I am thinking of getting a small space heater as well.

Once they come out of the ground i can be a little more confident, but this is slow moving!

R u keeping the top of tue soil moist. Might try putting a ziplock bag over the cup to make a humidity dome.
