Anyways, we bought some seeds and have slowly but surely got most of the required equipment together to see us through the first grow. We're doing White Widow (can't wait!) as it suits us both and possibly greedily, we germinated 21 seeds (was aware several might not take, but only 2 didn't do anything, which was a huge shock!)....oh, and they're fem seeds, thoguh we will still double check at the right time!

Weve done the germinating process and planted the little darlings and are now on day 11, using 24/0 fluorescent lights and misting for feeding with plain water. But I think we worried a bit too much about potential burning to the leaves and had the light slightly too high, as our babies are quite tall and skinny, but otherwise looking very healthy. We've now lowered the light height (after reading up on other's growing procedures and seeing pics of how close their lights are), so hoping the babies don't stretch as much now for the light, but start to bulk up a bit. Also using the eco-pot things placed inside little pots, but wondering if we should re-pot to the next size pots or wait?

I'm hoping the photos upload! And have to say they aren't the best quality as I took them with my phone camera earlier today, but you'll get an idea of size and health I think. Any advice on other steps to take at this point is highly welcomed!!




Gee I hope the photos upload, or the link at least! lol
Well they look great. They haven't stretched really to bad at all, mine were worse. When ya put your pics on, use the attachment below this message, they will fit the page. In less its my computer:wtf:

I have a few questions. Where are ya going to grow them, outside? If not what kinda lights are you going to use, because 19 plants will take a bit of light to finish. Plus if i were you i might keep those peat cups wet. When ya see roots popping out, put them in small pots. You want to work them up in size, as they will fill the pot, then start growing above the soil. So, putting them in too big of pots will just slow the above plant growth, if its gotta fill a big pot with roots that is. Plus your right about them getting burned when you mist the leaves under the lights.

They look perfect really IMO:hippy: Just going to take a lotta light and id get those peat pots wet. Any help, just ask, il do what i can, till its out of my experience.

Great start:rasta:
