anyone thin k i need to back off the lights?

You can actually TURN OFF the lights until the seedlings pop up. Then put them back on ASAP and monitor soil moisture carefully.

Thanks stinky however i have excellent news, i peeped in very delicately on one of the lesser quality seeds and the taproot is showing!

Just before i left the room i added little bit of water to each pot because they were looking dry, and then there it was haha, my first leaves! theyre barely out of the soil but i have much relief just for the fact that what ive worked hard to put together has worked, it may not look like much but that room, the wood or the foam wasnt there, it was a bit of work.

also, i have some view but minimal responses, please people feel free to post up some thoughts i just feel like an idiot talking to no one

thanks!

haha i know ive been onlooking your forum since the get go of it! your thread is gonna be hard to top for sure..

Light cycle is 18/6, i plan to veg the plants for a longer time rather than shorter time, im going to start my patience now that i know the seeds are sprouting

Based upon the care you have put into your grow space, I have no doubt your efforts will be more than rewarded. I look forward to watching your progress. :thumbsup:

Arighty then, day 3 since seeds were put into the ground and i have 3 toddlers so far. This is probably the slowest, yet most exciting process ive ever been a part of lol.

2 of the random seeds have spurted up, and the other plant is either crystal or strawberry cough. lets hope theyre alllll female!!

The first two pics are the first one two show, the 3rd shot is the second to show, both of my random seeds. The 4th shot is either crystal or strawberry cough, and then a group shot.

The temp feels great in the room, however i have noticed that in the ladder part of the day it can get fairly hot up there...and in florida getting hot now is bad because it will only get hotter.. anyone have any low cost ideas?

your fine with temps outdoors here in Fl dodo...if you are talking about your indoor, you want your temps 75-80 day, and 68-72 night...those are my magic numbers at least...some may disagree more FL growers!!...woo-hoo!!!

My brother and i went to home depot and got another fan that i can put directly on the lights, then i can use the other fan for its oscillating features.

Yes indeed reppin the FL sns! Those temps sound right around what it feels like in there..dont have a thermometer yet lol i should probably get on that.

But i just got back from a little anti-civilization getaway down the coast and got a few surprises when i checked my room.. 2 more peeking through the soil! i gave them each a little water because the moisture level in the soil looked and felt low.

I went into this grow expecting a low germination rate and the rate has already surpassed what i at least wanted.. now i am hoping for at least 2 out of the 5 that are presently sprouting to be female, hopefully im wrong for the better!

Here are some updated pics, just a couple of hours shows how fast some plants can start off..(something only a person of the stoner type would be amazed by haha)

I saw a few small flea looking buds in the room around the soil this morning and i killed em all and havent seen any since, anyone think cedar chips will at least rid them temporarily? sns i know it worked for your pests but these are different.
