Try to get more than 3 feet of vertcal space.
If you are new.. you should consider using CFL's... especially if you only have 3 feet of HEIGHT to work with..

CFLs would be the better option in that low a space for a new grower worried about problems, Garden is right about that.

I use a 150 HPS and sometimes CFLs in a space that's no more than 2' x 2' x 3', so it's easy to see where temperature control may be a bit arduous. To add to that, I like growing Sativa dominant strains in that little space -- which is LoL. That's all I have to say about that.

Good ventilation and airflow is also another key element.

Think about it -- how do those PC server case growers fit a 70 - 100 watt HPS in that little fucking cab and manage to keep it within an optimum range?

Good ventilation!

That's why they're so successful -- well, that and they SCRoG [ Screen of Green ].

Read up on SCRoG, I recommend it. Also LST [ Low Stress Training ], HST [ High Stress Training ], and SoG [ Sea of Green ].

With proper training you cannot fail. It's impossible.

Garden is right

I like growing Sativa dominant strains in that little space -- which is LoL. That's all I have to say about that.

Why do you like to grow sativa dominant strains in tiny places..

:dance:

Thanks for the advice and guidance so far i really appreciate it, what would be your advice for how to germinate the seeds. I have used the paper towel method to no success.

I have used the paper towel method to no success.

Really? That sucks....

Um, was the paper towel thing warm? And moist? Not soaking wet, just, moist?

That's strange... on my 1st grow, I was 100% successfull germinating 5 seeds with the paper towel method. And I'm, as you, a noob.

QUESTION: Did you pre-soak your seeds?

I don't know if you did, but I pre-soaked my seeds on a cup of water for 24 hours... a cup with water, just drop the seeds in. After about 12 hours or something, some seeds had dropped below the water level.

After the 24 hours, just a little water agitation caused the rest of them to sink to the bottom.

Did you do this? I don't think it's required, but it might help.

[Oniwildfire]

yeah i have tried it now hope its more successful then my previous endevours ty very much, Kush Over You say I need training? Could i be your padawan learner please : )?

[iwantFUEGO]

growing isnt hard, your going to be very surprised at how well most of your plants are going to survive your first time. It doesn't take AS much effort as you think... unless your like Garden Knowm.. then its a science.
But if you just wanna grow some girlies and get some bud then keep in mind that nature originally designed the plant to grow and bud with any help from you.

I started germ'in some seeds using the papertowel method and i soaked them over night in distilled water and out of the 20 seeds i put in to let soak only 3 of them floated (I Like that ratio : P). I put the bag under my bed, because i have drawers underneth, do you think what i have done will do me some justice? Is there anything else that i can do to boost my numbers of sprouts?
