my first grow

preluda97 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-06-2005, 05:14 AM

Alright, i sprouted a seed using the paper towel method, then i took a Solo cup, cut two square holes on teh bottom, and filled little under 3/4 of normal potting soil, no nutrients, i wet the soil, let it drain for about ten minutes, then i went down about 1/2 inch and planted the seed, root facing down. I covered it with saran wrap and a rubber band around it..... what do you guys think, im on the right track? im following the germination 420 board information... I hope this works.. how long do you think until it sprouts, if it does........ i have confidence

do i need to water it?

you shouldnt need to water it but if it looks dry then pour some water into the tray its stood in .... so the soil soaks the water up .... oh yeah you're on the right tracks lol , should see it pop up in a day or 2 (could take longer).. keep your eye on it as when it pops you need to get the lil beggar under some light... why did you plant/germinate just 1 seed ??? you be pissed off in a month if its male eh

^^^I second that^^^

I just stuck a bunch in some cups with soil in 'em, water when necessary, and in a couple weeks I ended up with like 50+ plants that I had no idea what to do with. That was years ago though... Germination isn't really all that tricky. Just put the seeds in dirt, and wait for 'em to come up. If you want it done faster you can use the paper-towel method and whatnot though.

Yeah, all the guides on the net made growing weed a challenge to me for the start. But when me and a buddy started with 30 seeds, took 15, put them in styrofoam cups with ordinary ground soil and watered them daily, about 10 or 11 sprouted into plants.
I have a couple of seeds germing right now and I am just putting them in very small trays filled with a bit of soil, water them and keep it in the suns light, and they will probably sprout quite soon. The problem is, finding a place to put all the plants once you realize how much you have

rollinfatty · #11 (**permalink**) 06-10-2005, 06:23 PM

^^ yeah man, you NEED them in the light now. The best way is to just keep them in the light rigth when you plant the seeds since you never know when they will sprout. peace

preluda97 · #13 (**permalink**) 06-10-2005, 06:51 PM

how long should i leave them in the sun for, will the sun dry them out?? should i water these every day now?

gogo · #14 (**permalink**) 06-10-2005, 07:01 PM

no do not water them everyday coz they decay by too much water
but always keep wet to your soil 3-5 days more (relative humudity must be %60-75) yeah,water spray something.. (i talk for 25-30 celcius sunlight ..but i dunno how is the weather like in your country at the moment)
after 1 week , start watering ..twice a week
