Hi everyone, thanks for checking out my grow. This will be my third attempt at an indoor grow, and this time I'm doing it right. I made a lot of mistakes during the last two attempts but was able to acquire some knowledge in the process. This will be my first attempt using feminized seeds, purchased from the Single Seed Centre (good experience, took almost a month to get but it wasn't their fault - also got two free feminized seeds). Anyone's comments or criticisms are greatly appreciated! Still haven't had a successful grow so I still have a lot to learn.

Seedlings are currently under 24 hours of fluorescent light, in about a week I will switch them to 18/6 of 400w MH. OUTDOOR GROW I have 4 large plants, and 14 smaller ones in Solo cups. Larger plants show signs of flowering, found a spider and an egg? on one of the buds, I removed it and saw no others ones so hopefully it was nothing major.
