Hello all! Around two weeks ago I got a bag off a friend; it was not the direct pursuit that started this endeavor. As all the buds were broken down, I found a couple beans and thought to myself to stick them in the dirt. It took a couple days, but one finally sprouted. At this stage, it is past the embryonic leaves, has two little leaves around an inch and a half long, with two smaller leaves developing (which in turn have two even smaller leaf beginnings). After thorough scouring, I have come up with a list of questions I need answered (and believe me, I've looked through a lot of the FAQs and a lot of the forums.) I am going to be using Children of Bodom's rubbermaid container design (along with the air filters). Currently I am just using an incandescent bulb to get the seedling going on. My questions are:
1)How long should I wait until transplanting my seedling to a bigger pot?
2)Soil mix recommendations(preferrably organic)
3)Light cycles for it (Should I be lighting up my seedling for a certain # of hours, with gaps ATM?) & how to tell when to switch cycles
4)Any resources on TLS
5)Estimates on a growing timeframe (when should I be entering vegetative/flowering/harvesting)
6)Sex determination (what stage I can find this out in or not, and uses for males)
Since I have not acquired the materials nor built the box yet, what should I do with the seedling in the meantime? A CFL is definitely something I could get just to tide the baby over until the grow box is built. Appreciate all help, concern, comments, and questions. I hope this to be an ongoing learning experience!
