I'm about to begin my first grow. Like any n00b I have questions and hopefully I can get these sorted out before I move out of germination stage.

This grow is dedicated to my Father-In-Law. The seeds were from him about 9 months ago in a plastic baggy. He passed in July from Lung Cancer but I know he really wanted me to give this a try. According to him this was some really good herb, something about being purple. If I can get anything to grow and it makes it to bud then I'll post the pics for identification.

Here we grow:

1) Germination began last night. I started with 24 seeds and placed them in grow plugs that were saturated with Liquid Karma solution. 1 tsp to gallon, removed all the air from the plugs and placed one seed per plug into a seed tray. I covered the tray with a humidity dome. Lighting is being produce by two 2 foot T5 high performance grow light relector kits. The lights are about 6 to 8 inches from the top of the dome.

Question: How long should I wait until I see something?

Question: At what point should I remove them from the tray (I assume they stay in the plug for the remainder of their lives) and place them in my ebb and flow? Is there a height or a certain number of leaves that would be best?


I will update this log daily, whether there is news or not, for the same reasons everyone else updates their logs. I will post images as soon as possible so we can all "oooo and awwwwww" at the progress. I like to conerse with people so any input is appreciated. I will answer all questions to the best of my ability.

Thanks folks!
