Hi everybody, i had a thread going and then realized it should have been in a grow journal, so here I go.

I bought 2 packs of seeds from marijuana seeds .nl
One was a Top 44 pack and the other was a seed mix including:

BIG BUD
NORTHERN LIGHTS
BUBBLEGUM
WHITE WIDOW
CRYSTAL ICE

I wanted 2-3 female plants in the end, so I germinated 6 seeds on Sept 18th.
Two of them were Top 44, Four of them where from the mix bag.

5 sprouted by Sept 21st,

so I planted them in Jiffy cups in soiless jiffy mix (mostly peat moss) and hung two 5500k cfls above them.

I kept them in a tupperware container with the bottom filled with water - per advice of somebody.

Sept 26th I planted the seedlings in 1 gallon containers

Added two more cfls (they were 2700k but i changed them to 6500k from somebody's advice)

Added yeast in a liter bottle with holes drilled in the cap (1 packet of yeast, 3/4 liter water, and like 10 tablespoons of sugar).

Temperature was about 86-88 degrees F but i've gotten it down to 80-82 degrees F.

Grow box is 3.5 ft tall, 2.5 ft wide, 1.5 ft deep. Frame is wood, walls are 1/2inch styrofoam insulation painted brown with mylar on the inside. It has 2 computer fans up top blowing out and 2 vent holes on the bottom sucking in.

That brings us to today. (Day 12)

The pots were filled with mixed soil with this approximate ratio:

5-miracle gro moisture control soil - 2 jiffy soiless mix - 3 vermiculite..

The seedlings are all happy now. Three are growing really fast while the other two have some catching up to do. I water them with fish tank water every morning a little bit, making sure not to overwater. They are on 18/6 light cycle.

Attached are recent pics, the temp/humidity conditions/ and my fish tank

Questions, comments welcomed.

Thanks TodayIsAGreenday

Hey wackymack - It's mylar, not foil, it came in squares, the only way i could find it, but it works. Also i cut the jiffy cups with a razor blade across the bottom and sides when i transplanted. I hope my seeds turn out better, I actually bought them a year ago when the website was 420-seeds instead of marijuana-seeds. Cross my fingers 3 turn out female and don't hermie.
