Hello everyone, I am a new grower and I am very excited to be among you!!! I am not a smoker myself. To be honest the reason I want to grow is to get some money into the family. My goal is to get a small harvest but of good quality pot and sell it to a few friends. I am reading and following step by step Ryan Riley's e-book, "How to Grow Elite Marijuana". However I still have a lot of difficulties, and a lot of questions. I don't even know if it is considered a good book, so I am also open to any suggestions.

1) I have bought 10 seeds of THAI SKUNK. Germination was successful so I placed them in soil and close to the window but they never pop out. I don't know what was wrong, temperature, medium, nutrients??? Does anyone grow that strain and have some suggestions? Thank you!

2) I did not want to spoil more of my THAI SKUNK seeds so I went ahead and planted 3 of the free ones 4th of December (There were 20 FREE with the order). These were germinated really fast and they also did amazingly well once I placed them into the soil. However after one week the stem looked to weak to sustain the leaves and the plant was bending down. I put a chop stick to support the plant is this ok? Is that normal, do you know what I could be doing wrong? In the book it said that I have to bend the stems Forward-Backward-Left&Right every day to make the stem stronger and then add a fan so the airflow moves the plants. I did this, so what do you think went wrong?

3) One of my plants managed to be standing without the support of the chop stick but the leaves don't look very good to me. Do you know what could be causing this wilting? I noticed that all of my plants look a bit like that at night and become more alive in the day, again is that normal? The picture is from last night, the (15th of December).

They are close to the window under natural sun light, room temperature varies from 23-26C but the thermometer in the window can show up to 31c. Humidity is 43-51%. I have them in soil and I feed them HESI TNT Complexe.I did not quite understand what strain are my FREE plants exactly, this is what the AmsterdamSeeds said
"The free seeds... We always try to create new better strains for our growers and improve the
quality of our existing seed strains basing on our customers comments. Those experiments produce 100% viable cannabis seeds but not always with
exact properties as planned. Genetics is not easy stuff to control. So we decided to hand out a pack of those little Frankensteins as a free
gift with purchase for all of you to try out. It's an indica sativa mix (not feminized) and can be used for indoor and
outdoor. Flowering time for indoor is about 9 weeks. The 20 free are randomly selected each day so that they are rotated for our
regular customers."

That's all for now! I am very sorry for my poor English and thank you so much for your time!!!
