Last year I planted some seeds outdoor but failed probably because of the lack of sun. As of now I am setting up an indoor stealth operation in my room made of Rubber Maid boxes. Stealth and cost are my priorities but I will try to grow the best plant given the conditions. My friend who is doing this project with me provided a bag seed which I germinated. It germinated in about 24 hours. I went to Lowes where I asked Rating: 5

transplanted this morning. The plant was totally rootbound. I guess that was the problem. Also the soil in the middle of my bag was way better than what was on top and I thoroughly mixed in perlite this time. Heres a pic from Ceres in her new pot.

things have perked up a bit. I think the transplant was a great thing for her. Today pinched off some of the lower leaves that were drying and dying. Is there anything I can do with these pinchings like smoke them? haha.

update. Nothing exciting but nothing bad either. Ever since clipping off the dead leaves, growth has picked up. I think though, that when I transplanted I did not really break up the root ball and that it has slowed growth a bit. I think it is rooted now though and I'm afraid to mess with it.

she has now been moved to her new and final home - my room. shes under 6 cfls now on a 24 hour light schedule. and i watered her yesterday until some drips came out the bottom of her pot. no pun intended. just checked on her theres just barely a bit of moisture when i'm more than 2 knuckles deep, also on the low side of moist on my reader. she seems a bit droopy but appears to still be new growth. advice?
