High everybody,
So far it is day 10, my first seedling popped through the soil this morning, and over the course of the day in bright sunlight split into its first two leaves.
14 days ago I did the whole paper towel germination method on 26 seeds, 2 germinated before I transplanted them into germinating potting soil.
The seeds were from herb I consumed over the years. Possibly as old as 3 yrs. I'm not quite sure how many different kinds there were, but I got from a natural grow operation in Santa Cruz, I believe the strain to be from British Columbia, I expect nothing fancy, standard green with brown hairs and dense crystals.
Anyhow, of the two that germinated, I confirm that one dried up (I dug it up to check) and today the first sprout broke soul. Last night there were none.
I am working on a partial indoor and partial outdoor grow for now. I am set for the indoor portion, I have two floodlights, 300w each. I am only using 1 right now at about 10'' from the plant. I also have a large fan to circulate air, however there is a strong breeze here usually drafting into the window and good daytime direct sunlight.
I am very disturbed at the low turnout thus far, and I fear this might be the only seedling that will grow, as such I need advice as to how to best use the plant.
1> can I take clones from it before I flower it, and have those clones possibly turn into a different sex than the main plant?
2> is an indoor outdoor plan adviseable, using natural sunlight during the day and artificial at night?
3> What kind of timetable am I looking at? When might I first be able to harvest,
4> when should I transplant into a larger container.
I am resetting the grow clock at this point to J_day, aka the day it first started to grow above ground.
I will use this mssg. board as my primary source of advice on the grow, advisors and veterans are encouraged to help me out. I don't want to loose the one I have.
In the past I was able to grow 17 plants outdoors without tending to them, but were tranpled by authorities. I am not sure what the specifics are.
Thanks everyone, and remember to always bring a towel
