Well, I germinated the seeds and got almost all 10 to get a tip poking out, even though I plan on only growing 3, I wasnt sure in my ability to "wet towel" germinate them yet. So I grabbed the 3 best looking seeds with roots and put them about seed depth in the MG soil that was already watered, buried them and sprayed the top soil to moisten that too. Still on second day really and nothings coming up, I'm not worried the least cause I know it takes time. I think I'm most worried about over watering, do I need to worry about that before it actually breaks soil and does it need light before it sprouts as well? As for you're other questions, I haven't got anything to measure temp, humidity, or P.H. If it's just a small, 3 plant grow, I should be alright with those factors (well, besides P.H.) right? And I'm going out to buy like a mini fan tomorrow. Along with some pictures hopefully, even though I'm a bit sketchy on the comments my grow spot may have... lol. I'm glad I have a somewhat other new person to this helping me too, makes me feel not alone haha.



dont let the soil stay wet for to long, thats how you get mold. i got mold around week 2, a small dry spell and transplant took care of that. a dry spell every once and a while is not a bad thing, it makes the roots grow deeper searching for water resulting in a stronger plant.

you need pots that drain well. water untill you see a little run off and make a note of how much it took. wait untill the top in. or so on the soil is dry, not damp but dry. give them just a little less water than you noted before. i water mine every 3 days. as they grow they will require more weater so if you decide to flush note the amount of water untill run off and make adjustments.

i put my buckets of hope dirt under the florida sun untill i saw sprouts. they then went under a full spectrum plant fluro i got at walmart for 12 bucks untill i got the CFL's i now have. i dont know if the light is needed before sprouts tho. the light kelvin temp matters tho, not just any light will do. do you know the kelvin temp of yout lights? you want 6,500 k (blue/white) for veg and 2,700 k (red) for flowering

not knowing the temp is not going to hurt but if it gets to hot or to cold you could get in to trouble. i keep my house around 72F - 75F all day and the CFL's dont produce much heat so my closet is around 80F max. the thermometer i got was like 5 bucks but i dont realy use it so just watch for drastic temps.

here are some pix form every week or so.
