Let me preface this by saying I don't have my seeds or soil yet. At first, I was gonna grow in my closet with CFLs and aluminum foil. Now, with my soil and seeds probably arriving tomorrow or Friday, I've had a change of heart. Instead I found some extra 2x3s and put this together. I'm gonna put up side panels/walls and then paint the inside white. I am also going to order a 400w HPS light right now. What you guys think my setup?? Hopefully I'll be germinating tomorrow!
Update. Everything has arrived, 400hps system, soil, etc. everything except seeds still... But only been a week! I'm running everything and getting ready and temp is 80 F and humidity is 59%. Check it out
[quote name='"EyesSeeingAll"']What strains you going to run? Is it 2 chambers.. or just one whole box? "Quality, over Quantity."[/quote] Forgot the strains. Got them from herbies. It's just one whole box. I'm thinking I'm just going to grow one plant at 12/12 for 8 weeks. Cuz I'm moving in January, I don't wanna have to move a giant plant and out it in a truck, I'll grow the rest after I move, using regular veg cycles. Then flowering. I can learn mistakes from the first I'm really baked, sorry if it doesn't make sense
you should have got some fast autos. also, you're gonna wanna plug up all that light leak. light out means light in. any light brighter than a full moon on a clear night and that plant is going to think it is no longer nighttime.

First real update. I had buried my seeds way too deep. After 5 days with no sprouts I did some light digging and found the seed HAD sprouted, but was buried, it didn't look good or even alive, it still had the shell husk attached. So I stood it up, watered it, heated it up and here it is now!! Day 2 of being unburied. It's standing up and ditched the shell husk and looking green!
Update. Day 4. Well I went to visit my parents and look what was waiting for me when I got back! 2 sprouts! Getting their first set of leaves! check out first grow !!!! http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-marijuana-growing/1129910-first-grow-journal.html
Update. Day 10. How they look?? One of my babies has some strange twisting in the leaves. Still growing and otherwise healthy. Can anyone help?
totally normal, the first two leaves are the little tiny ones, then you get the first serrated edge ones and then fan leaves will start to produce. If you want to nit pick, I'd say your humidity is a little low ( prob under 55-60% ) but the tips of the leaves are still straight so in my opinion your fine, just check on it from time to time : )
Another question. You said there's the round leafs first, obviously, Then the first serrated leaves, THEN the fan leaves. Are leaves supposed to grow from the first serrated ones? I see 2 tinny little spikes coming out from where those 2 leaves meet the stem. If that makes sense. I'll try to post pic Only one has it
3rd to 4th node appearance - 4th to 5th would be my recommendation. It looks like your on your 3rd right now, I'd let it go one more and go light or go 2 more and go nuts : ) looking good!
