These seeds germed for 2 days in distilled water, papertowels, and i used to lids and put plastic wrap between them to keep in moisture:



Here is the seeds in the lids with plastic:


Here's the jiffy pots, starter soil and my cheap homeade dome, they didn't have any at the lawn and garden store and the grow shop wanted $25. i'm too poor for that:


Here they are all planted with the sprout facing down and seeds about 2 cm. from the top, I presoaked the soil and cups and then gave them a good spray after planting the seeds:


Lastly, here they are under the 2 lights:

Do you have some calmag to add to your distilled water?

Picture update, here they are 3 days into it, the roots took off like crazy, I had to keep adding soil because the roots pushed the seed out of the soil 1/4" every 6 hours. they all seem healthy and happy so far.

I would defiently have to agree with you.. Happy plants are the best plants

[bubadutep75]

Hey Phat, thanks. You mentioned calmag I'll have to research that but why do you suggest it?

[bubadutep75]

From what i understand you are wanting me to add calcium and magnesium to the distilled water since distilling takes out allot is that right. I got the fox farm grow big which has secondary nutrients in it I don't know if this replaces all of it or not.

I am keeping a journal of all info i gather. I am thinking of just using tap water and adjusting PH what do you think? Also do you think i should add small amounts of epsom salt and hydrogen peroxide for oxygen?

P.S. I love growing I just started and I am obsessed and not just with cannibus, I want to learn and grow everything now and I check on my babies 6 -7 times a day.

Well it's been a few days so it's time for a few new pics, There hasn't been allot of foliage growth but the roots are growing nicely, they are already coming out the bottom of one of the pots.
