Hello all..Its my very first mary j grow, although im a landscaper so im familiar with the realm of starting plants from seed. I hope this site can help guide me through my first grow, and also share and learn from each other. Here are a few details about my set up.

Closet - 21" by 5 ft, 5 ft tall

Seed - 2 feminized Supergirls from Attitude seed bank (Nirvana

Soil and pots - 2 three gallon pots (bleached to remove any previous disease) with Fox Farm organic soil, and a little organic soil conditioner

Lighting - 8 26 watt 6500k cfl's...ordered a 250 watt hps that should be here in a few weeks, hopefully the cfl's can get me through seedling stage

Seeds were germinated using paper towel method, and were planted moments ago. Thanks in advance for all who choose to follow this grow. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Happy growing everyone!!

Heres a quick picture of the closet, sorry for the low quality, it was taken from my phone. Hopefully soon I'll have a camera. Once the seeds sprout I plan on raising them within two inches of the lights.

this will def work for you man. the cfls are enough probly to grow your whole crop on. if you didnt already spend the $$$ id say dont even bother with the hps. 2 fem supergirls will do you well too. im impressed you went all out on your first grow. props and +rep

Thanks for checking out my thread, Kaleo. I've heard the HPS makes a huge difference for the flowering stage, so I think the 250 Watt hps will be worth the $$. Yea, I figure go big or go home lol, even if it is my first grow. I planted the seeds earlier today, and I read conflicting reports on whether or not the grow tip is supposed to be planted up or down. I guessed it was the root, so I planted it facing downwards. Any idea if that was the right move? Have you ever had any experience or know of anyone whos smoked/grown any supergirl? Once again, thanks for checking out my journal. Peace dude

Yeah that was the right way to plant the seed, sorry you didn't ask me but i knew so i answered lol

yeah thats right but it dosnt really matter cuz plants planted upside down pop up growing sidewats and fix them selves with in a few days

keep us posted growmigo

Happy 4th to everyone out there, and thanks to Kaleo and Hilltop for your help. I got the best surprise late last night....New green sprouts in my closet!! They were planted around 5 in the afternoon on the 2nd, and sprouted sometime between 10 pm and 3 am last night. I still only have my camera phone, but I am in the process of getting a high quality digital one. One plant has two leaves and a new set already coming in. The other pot has the seed completely out of the soil and is almost completely cracked. Hopefully she wont be too far behind her sister. I fed them a half strength dosage of big bloom this morning ( 1/4 tbs to 32 oz ). How often should I be feeding them at this point? I don't want to overdo it, yet at the same time I don't want to leave more to be desired. Hopefully I'll have pictures up by the middle of the week. Happy growing everyone!!

do not use nutes at this point, simple water is enough and you could hurt its little self. wait atleast 2 weeks or a month before using nutes on your babies. you sounded really excited about your plants i really hope they dont all die on you

good setup cbur but i think you should lower the lights a little more, just for this seedling stage.

its lookin good brow im a noob too and im tryin with an array of plants good luck to u ill suscribe
