Anyhoo about a week or two later, after I thought they were gonners and were never going to sprout one of them goes ahead and pops its head up out of the soil. After about 4-5 days of growth he is already at 2.5inches and is still shooting up. Two others have come up after him, one at nearly one inch after about 2 days of growth and the other just poking his head out and unfolding in the last few hours. I think another one is getting ready to show but not sure just yet.

Anyway, I am 2 weeks away from payday when I plan to buy some soil, pots, lighting etc to stick in my cupboard. But what the heck shall I do until then?? I am kind of worried as I didn't realise they would start growing quite so quickly and I dunno how much more they are going to grow in the next 2 weeks!

The second one


The third one


Anyone got any advice? I am planning to keep it pretty simple, a few 300W CFL's hanging from the ceiling on chains so that the height is adjustable, a 9inch fan, larger pots (unsure what size just yet) some peat soil with perlite and some Miracle Grow Organic All Purpose Plant Food.
hey littleleaf firstly I would get them plants into seperate pots. giving them there own root space. how big is your cupboard? do youmean 300 actual watts or equivalent to incandescent( household lightbulbs) for the cfl's. and go online for sum decent ferts. I have onlyheard bad things about miracle grow. fox farms ferts are a good start.
