Hey all, this is my first MJ grow and jus looking for any pointers, i am however limited. Living with my girlfreind who strongly disagrees with the cultivation of cannabis, it has to be hidden, but instead of a closet grow, i decided to plant up beside my existing salvia divinorum (great herb for those who havnt heard of it...look into it ;-)) and hope she isnt the observant kind.

The set up consists of 2 x 24W 6400K CFL, 1x 20W 2600K CFl, 1 x 30W flouro tube. Not the brightest... but its grown the salvia perfectly fine =/

Ok, so i went into town to pick up some seeds. Was after Northern Lights but the local smoking shop was fresh out...no suprises. I was looking through the selection of other seeds when the owner said she had some 'home made' "Afghan #1" seeds, and would sell 20 for £12 (about $20.) I was uncertain because i hadnt seen any grow logs of "afghan #1" and because of their home made origin...but i bought them anyway.

Popped 3 seeds in a shot glass, and within 12 hours the tap roots were exposed and so i planted em up, in potting soil and perlite. 2 days later the seedlings were visible, and i was suprised about the 100% germ rate, maybe these home pollinated seeds wouldnt be as sh!tty as i thought! =P

So anyway, its bin 9 days and the 3 seedlings are still alive..one looks a little deformed, but ther is some new growth coming through. Pics of set up and plants are below!

Am just slightly concerned about the speed ther growing, seems rather slow, but maybe thts a characteristic of this afghan strain, i dont know. So..yeah any advice?

Maybe i should bin the two weaker plants n just focus the light onto the stronger plant?

All appreciated :-D
