    What's goin on blades, newer grower here. I only have one outdoor under my belt but would like to start indoor, began my research months ago and have been lurking on the city for years! I have plans to get more seeds but for now I'm going with a bag seed I found in some fire (I never find seeds in my weed always high grade) so pretty excited. Using some unknown soil, plan on transplanting FFOF as soon as I can. Any input is much appreciated and any subs would mean a lot to me as i would like this too be a learning experience. Thanks blades and wish me luck! [​IMG]

    Will update pics as soon as I'm in soil, for now I have a fan blowing into my box with door open. Dry runs showing 70ish Temps so I'm good for now. Plan on ordering some 110 cfm usb fans and a 6400k 23 watt also I'm watering with plain tap as PH kit is coming with my fans and lights.

    For now I'm running 450 equivalent 111 actual, 3x 23 Watt 2700k 1x 42watt 2780k

    should I turn lights on 18/6 as soon as I take out of water glass and pop in soil or leave in darkness? Also should I greenhouse till i see sprout?

    From what I've learned, you want to leave it in the darkness until it's popped out of the soil. I could be mistaken, but that's how I did with my grow First post- PC grow + Journal?

    Subbed

    When I germinated mine using the paper towel method, I used the power brick to keep the bag humid and warm. After she was in soil I just kept the light close

    I'd keep it warm until you see sprouts. [​IMG]
    This is a good place to shoot for, maybe even a day sooner

    Really nice Lil setup you have man. I would add just 65k cfls for veg maybe just one 27k for a mixed spectrum. Mine grew really good with just 2 23w 65k cfls and one 27k 23w as well. You can check out my thread I didn't really updated till yesterday which was week 4 day 3 of flower

    Temps keep dropping below 70 so I'm kicking on all lights and fan is off. added 1 6400k 26 watt in replace of a 2700k 23. We are now running 114 watts, plan on turning half power before bed and running fan on low for safety will update again come morning

    Hey man, make sure the soil is damp not soggy. I use a spray bottle and mist the top of the soil best rule to practice here is litfa, Leave It The Fuck Alone. This stage in growing cannabis patience is crucial, touching the seed to much can cause root damage and un needed stress.

    I keep my pre germ seeds on top of my xbox using the greenhouse technique and see sprouts 2-5 days.

    Cheers

    Good pointers, but from what I've heard/read. You don't want your roots exposed to light so the clear cups might be a no-no? Not too sure how critical as I know they won't be in those cups for your whole grow! But looks good just thought I'd share that with you! Maybe some others will put in on my comment?

    Hey man thanks for dropping in, as soon as I get home I will wrap the cup in black tape there are holes on the bottom that will be left untapped.

    And @Stay_Blazed , thanks for the input bro. Will be greenhouseing cup with plastic wrap and moving back on top of 360 till I see sprouts.
