you'll have to forgive the next question, as it comes from a raw newb (i'll leave this disclaimer out from now on for brevity ), but i just got done watching a "how to grow cannabis indoors" vid (though it was hydroponic) and here's the question: if i...

1. soak seeds till they crack

can i then put them directly into a pot of soil? or do i need something in-between like a cube type thing?


i'm definitely considering the possibility of cloning and keeping a mother plant, making regular clones; i have the room....humm something to consider, but first i need my veg room (closet) setup; i have the whole rest of the bedroom which i just use for storage that i could potentially use as a veg room (or part of it more like, cordoned-off........ not sure if i want to grow all the time; considering the electricity costs, and needing to keep things low profile....hummm

something to consider


i bought standard seeds. 10 of them. so i'm thinking i'd probably be lucky if i got 2females from those? just to estimate. so i'd be needing perhaps 10 small pots and a few larger ones; of course i know it's possible i could get zero females, but i surely hope that's not the case



another Q: is it really reasonable to flower under ONLY cfl lights? it seems somewhat unpopular, yet possible. my main concerns are keeping temperatures and electricity costs down, temperatures mostly. it's cool now, but summer's coming and it will be warm. i'm in denver, CO


also: from germination to harvest, with NL, is 3-4months usual? that seems to be what i'm seeing
