    These seeds are from a buddy of mine that has been growingout doors for years so he gave me litterly a bag of them to experiment with don’tknow the bread or strain but he did buy them at a seed bank down the street so.

    ok started out with the basic of basic to germinate papertowels damped for three days some sprouted fasted then others so Planted seed after germination into soil I found around outside

    they spouted so I noticed a couple dyeing b/c of soil i guess burning of leaves falling over so Iwent a week and a couple days later to the hard ware store got pots and newsoil got a 0,15 0.15 0.15 high moisture poting soil with 15 -30-15 water fert
    Replanted all but still was using same light the lights are3 13watt 120v 60hz 180ma with 825 lumens plants didn’t seem to be taking off atall so I did some researched on lighting noticed I need 6500k for veg and 300klight for blooming/flowering stage so then went out bought a 4 bulb 32w 6500kcfl over top light that takes the tubes that was two days ago so here are thepics of the progress of my work

  3. Follow Grmination 420 tread up in here.
    I followed it a few times. All right on. You always run a chance to kill one or two beens during th egermination process but the guide has been working for me thus far.
    Good luck
     
  4. nice! im subbed. be careful with your soil, its looks really wet and muddy! they dont like this enviornment, but yours seem to be growing very fast.

    remove the part about giving seeds away. this thread will get closed and you will receive an infraction if not
     

  5. You got a link for it?
     
  6. yours germinated fine, so whatever you did was good for the seeds.

    in general seeds like warmth and humidity to hatch, just like a chickens eggs.

    i suggest soaking a paper towel with hot water and ringing it out, then put it in a zip-lock bag, close tightly and put in a dark spot for 48 hrs.

  11. im a qualified horticulturist , so this should be a doodle - my seeds have germinated and sprouted . I am on day 20 and they are about 1 inch tall - lots of roots - i started them in a heated propagator - and have just transfered 1 into a bigger pot - gently i may add ... im still researching lights and growing boxes ...
     
  12. I would go with one of the nature or natural m bags since they sound like they have good mixes and the bag isnt huge

    they look great!! move them a bit closer to the light (with cfls, the closer the better) and get a fan in there pointed at the lights. if you have a small fan pointed at the lights, you can get the plants really really close without burning them

    how did your hydro system work out for that other plant?
