Thannks to everyone so far for the insight and advice. I think I may try going the 18/6 route with the 6 being overnight starting at midnight tonight. I would assume that would be best. Less noticeable with lights on in my basement after all.

I am posting some more pictures updated as of a few minutes ago. I'm not sure if its easy to see from the pics (I'm no pro photographer after all) but the one little leaf that is starting is turning half yellow towards the end. Is this normal for two days since breaking ground? The light is about 2-4 inches away right now and just giving it tap water. Yes, as I've been reading, this isn't probably the best water so I will be switching to filtered tap water (Brita filters in water cooler). Any other advice at this juncture?

Also, how long should I give the others to pop through the ground? Will it get to a point that they won't sprout and I should replace that seed? Now for the (crappy) pics.
Mingles Reviewed by Mingles on . Very New Grow Hey hey everyone, I know there are a hundred other "first growers" posting here, but even after much research and reading, I still feel clueless. Since its my first grow and am short on cash, I started with bag seeds, from some of the better stuff I've gotten recently. So far the seeds have been planted (one seed per pot, mind you) in 3 10 inch pots and one 6 inch pot for a total of four plants so far. I have 3 other seeds in the paper towels, just waiting for them to pop through. I Rating: 5
