I am also new to growing. But i did get some seeds to germinate. I used a couple paper towels, clean water, and some surran wrap(sp?) but others use ziploc baggies.
dampen the paper towels and place the seeds an inch or 2 apart on the paper towel and cover it with another wet paper towel, and seal them up. Keep the seeds dark and warm. Mine broke shell in 2 days.
There are far better ways to do this, i just did it the old mans way.
Now i need some help to grow, i know mine probably wont grow at all, seeing as how im using normal soil from outside and tap water....i just dont have the money to invest right now.
But i'm in the same boat as you, and would like any help at all. What type of lights to use, soil to buy, fertilizer, minerals and nutrients. I Dont know where to go from here. I only want to grow 1 or 2 plants, and the cheapest way possible to get great smoke.
help plz?
