Okay, the watering tip with weed is important, and I'm sure I would have learned that the hard way. Didn't realize that this girl should be dry between waterings. I'll play it by ear, but I'll start off by not drowning or dehydrating them.

I'm going to break down and get a HPS light today. I took my flouros and mounted them on the walls (which have space blankets on them), and I'll just hang the HPS over the top of everything. The skylight will just help things out I imagine, but if I need crazy light, then it's time to plugin a monster light.

I've always had good luck when it comes to weeding the way I've been doing it, on a variety of plants. I guess I should have made it clear that I weed within a few days. Merely to make sure that the germinated sprouts are really taking hold. From sprouted seed to pot, to weeding is probably three days, tops. They may develop a tap root at that time, but not much else.

I'm starting with seeds I don't know that well, so I'm not sure of the quality, and if I end up cloning, I think I'd like to make sure I've got a good specimen right off the bat.
darpin Reviewed by darpin on . First Time Grower - Lighting & Reality Check Hey there folks. So I've smoked for a while, but am now going to give growing a shot. I got some seeds from someone who used to be a grower, he said they're Northern Lights, and $150 from WalMart later, here I am. I've been gardening my whole life, so I'm not totally unfamiliar with raising plants, although the clandestine nature of marijuana makes it a little more interesting. a) I have the seeds germinating in some wet paper towels right now, sitting in a ziplock bag, on a plate, on top of Rating: 5
