Ok, so heres my deal: I have no idea what I'm doing. Right now I have one sprout going in a jar under 3 CFLs, I have a seed in a can next to it, but it's been awhile and I'm not sure if it's going to sprout or not, and I have 5 seeds sitting in some paper towel that I'm hoping will crack. The extent of my equiptment right now is a spider lamp and 3 CFL bulbs. I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm taking this from the standpoint of, it's a weed, how hard can this be? (I've already done enough reading through this website to know how stupid of a statement that is)

I'm starting the journal for a few reasons, I know there are people out there in my position, hopefully this will help you. Second, I think it'd be really helpful to keep a grow journal to help me keep track of everything. And third, I was hoping a few of you would be nice enough to tell me that I'm being an idiot from time to time and tell me how to keep my girls alive.




Before I go smoke a bowl and then call it a night, here's a summary of things so far:

I have one plant (esmeralda), she sprouted about 2 weeks ago. I don't know exactly when, I'm estimating 2/15/08. She stands about 3 inches tall. I'll be posting some pics tomorrow once I figure out how. She is currently sitting on a shelf in my closet under 3 CFLs. Next to her is a can that has a seed that cracked, but doesn't seem to want to sprout. And then on the table in front of me is a plate that has a folded over piece of wet paper towel with 5 seeds that have been in there about 20 minutes.

That's it for right now, I'm going to try to post reguarly. I welcome and appreciate anyone who wants to post advice, suggestions, and/or encouragement.

welcome to the site

A great cfl journal from start to finish can be found here. I'd really recommend reading the whole journal, as it probably covers most areas you'll need for the entire project.

Good luck and have fun.

thanks, I just finished reading through someone's complete journal a few hours ago, I was wondering what I was going to be reading next. I'll start on it tomorrow.

Thanks
Hope to hear more from you

I'm not sure exactly how this works exactly. I've never uploaded a pic here before, so this will be a test. If it goes well, there will be more.

Well, that wasn't exactly what I wanted to happen. I'm going to do some investigating, once I figure out how to do it the way that I want, I'll upload the rest of them. In the mean time, that is a pic taken on 2/19 of the seed that crack, but still has yet to sprout.

I'll be around. Lookin' forward to those pix later.

Awesome, I have so much more hope for this grow now that I know you'll be around. Thanks

I finished my homework earlier than I thought I would so I have some time to post some pix before I leave for class. These are all from 2/19. At this point I primarily had them just sitting on a widow sill and then at night I would put them under 1 30watt CFL. The first one is the one i posted earlier, its the cracked seed that still has yet to break through the soil. The other 2 are pics of Esmerelda. I can't remember exactly when she sprouted, I'm guessing that's about 4 days worth of growth in that pix. Anyone think otherwise?

Ok, so here's some shots from the second set of pics I took. These were taken on 2/24, still doing the window sill thing.
