Hey i have spent about a month here on cannabis.com and have been reading as much as i can about everything. It is a wealth of info and have found some really good stuff.

I wanted my first attempt to be very simple but realized that growing is not that way but i figured i would give it a shot with what i got.

My supplies are:

-Approx 1 large ziplock of organic potting soil (Just Soil)
-Approx 1 normal sized ziplock of perlite (additive to soil for oxygen P.S. Thanks lowes for hunting the bag down for me it only took you guys like ½ hour)
-Approx 2 tablesoons of general nute 14-14-14 (mixed into the soil just like perliteâ?¦Slow release)
-75 watt plant light for intitial grow (more later?)
-1 $1 pot for plant
-1 $2 pot for transplant
-Average lighting fixture
-Vacation timer.

That being said i think my weakest area is lighting....however i wish to solve this with a better bulb but this should do for my germ/initial grow (under 8 inches) right?????

I germinated using the standard paper towel method (no problem here i have yet to have a seed which didnt crack)

I planted today with my setup and am waiting for results in the next couple of days with sprout action..

I was wondering about how close do you want a light of this size to the plant. Right how i have it about 6 inches away and it seems to be drying out the top of the soil quite easyily (is this normail i suppose some would be).


I would post pics but i dont have a camera maybe i can in the next day or two.


Thanks to all the Message board peeps for input you guys have already helped me by not making the same mistakes.


I will keep adding as i go along

Cheers and much respect
