bag seed first grow

[601smoker420]

hi i have been lurking trying to gather information about growing and finally decided to start with bag seed i took about 10-15 seed and germinated them but to my amazment they had a tap root almost an inch long within 24 hours fist is that normal ne way i planted them all in seprate cup and within another 24 hours i had 8 sprouts i dont have enough light and there are 4-5 strong looking sprouts i have 2 cfl on them right now they have been under it for about 4-5 hours they are growing wonderfully what should i do how do i determine if a plant will grow good or not i got the seeds out of some pretty crappy weed but the seeds looked good will i get any buds or what please any advice would be helpfull!!1

if i where you i would keep them under 24 hour florecent lights i use 2 blue and one green all night with tin foil and I give them some sun light for about 6 or 8 hours it shud work. now abut buding 12light and 12darknes no intoruptions you shud get one female

ps if you wanna sprout a seed keep them weet in the dark no light they dont sprout in the light
vegetive state is when they pop up then give them all the light they want good luck

I disagree with Kush. So you have 8 sprouts out of 10-15? Thats not a bad ratio.
What type of soil are you using?
Soon you will definitly need more light. Preferably 6500Kelvin temperature for vegitative stage. The lights can be on either an 18/6 cycle, meaning 18 hours on , 6 off. Or, they can be on 24/0, meaning the lights are on all the time. Some people even go inbetween these times, just make sure its atleast 18 during thier vegitative state, and you dont change it all the time. Timers are a good idea to make sure your accurate.
After atleast 6 weeks youll start to think about changing it to its flowering stage which is 12/12 light cycle. This takes either 2700Kelvin temperature fluros, or alot of people choose to use HID (high intensity) like an HPS bulb. This is just one way of many of doing things, be sure to do some research and find out what works best for you.

Do not use foil, as its not good for temperature/hot spots. Flat white paint, Mylar or an Emergency Blanket work well.

This is just some basic information, read the link in my signature for more, good luck.

thanks for the info i dont want to grow all of the plants i actually have all sprouts every seed germinated sprouted but some look alot stronger than others i need to know how to pick onw or 2 to keep i cant get ne more light because im broke i know the weed aint going to be good but itll be sumthin better than what i can buy and alot cheaper i will try and take a picture of my setup and the beutiful sprouts but untikl then what should i do? ohh i am just using some soil i got for another plant in the house it ccame from the co-op in a small bag hass white balls in it and is a med brown color very light soil it said usestarting with seed ? i dont know so i need to switch to 18/6 now as sson as they sprout or in a week when should i water them i havent yet only before i put the germ seed in the soil !

sry im stoned right now hope i make sense

Hey Anony, Is that so. I have always been under the impression that it was Wavelength and not Kelvin.

Max.

well ,the wavelength distribution in flouros is basically defined by the temperature. 6500K gives the best spectrum distribution for vegging.

Yea, might be different in the UK, but mostly people talk about kelvin here in the states because thats what it gives you on the package. Packages never say anything about wavelength here, atleast on fluros.

Thanks for the info J3SUS.
