Exclamation How about a Hawian Punch?!
First time poster/grower. I've got 11 High Quality Maui Wowie seeds to start me off. I am planning to take this one step at a time and after reading a lot of posts here thought i might be able to get a leg up from more experienced growers.

I have a full room available- either a 10x12 or a 12x15. I'd like to be able to grow them large enough to clone and fill the bulk of one room in a 3 month cycle. Is that possible?(to stretch the veg cycle long enough to grow many in one shot)

Anywhow, i don't want to get to detailed yet because the first priority is getting these seeds to sprout. I tried this once 10 years ago and couldn't get a sprout from bag seeds.

Here is what I have done so far:

Day 1
3 p.m. Place seed between 12 paper towels and two plates and moisten with room temp spring water.
Water again at 9p.m.


Day 2
9 a.m. Re moisten paper towels and placed open plate at 11 a.m. sun light


Please I would appreciate any tips and comments to help me through this.



More later

Ok it's 11 pm. on day two and I have been continuing to read and made a few changes. First I moved my papertowel into a glass in the kitchen.

Now I've put my paper towel in a tupperware container on top of a heating pad on low.

Cant wait till morning. I am SOOO anxious to see them sprout A.S.A.P

yes- basically. I wet some paper towels once about a decade ago, and gave up after i had to remoisten them twice lol. From what i read it can take more than a week in some cases?

Here's what I know about the Maui Wowie strain so far:

Plant Height: Tall, Mostly Sativa
Buzz type: Stoney yet High, All-Around Buzz
THC level: Medium; 8-15%
Weeks Flowering: 8-10
Yield(Dried grams per square meter in a Sea of Green): 400-500
Harvest Month: September- October

Also lists them as OUTDOOR.... however i will be growing them indoors...


Please comment if you would like to add anything- especially if you have experience with Maui Wowie!

ok- thanks skunk. I'll wait on the light and soil a couple more days. In the meantime I found one and a half more sprouts today when i opened up my Tupperware to give them some fresh air. Added a little fresh water.

Day 4

I have 7 strong growthsfrom seedlings. Just airing them out cause the tupperware gets pretty warm n wet. I dont want the seeds to drown. In the mantime I'm trying to make a decision on a light. Its definately going to be 1000W...I dont know if I am going to get

a)MH system with HPS conversion bulb
b)HPS system with MH conversion bulb
c)conversion ballast system to take MH and HPS bulbs
d)used system on the cheap

Any opinions on these light system manufacturers- Econowing, Agrotech, Cool Sun, Large Horizontal,Sungro, Suntube, Super Sun 1 & 2, Vertizontal, Yield Master?

I'm looking at paying full price for one of those locally vs half price new from ebay VS. 1 lrg. /1000W HPS fixture (Hydrofarm)used /complete indoor gardening light set/w/ballast/aprox.24"x22"x12"DP. also ceiling auto tracking fixture for hanging light.both for $125.00?

Any opionins on best way to go for first grow?

You would be better off with say two 400/600 then one 1000w. 1K's put off so much heat so you have to keep them further away which deficient the purpose. Your going to want to have a veg and flower room. T5/T8 tube light setups are the same thing you can find at wal-mart for shop lights. Those kind of lights are much weaker, but you can move them within inches of your plant to maximize light. I would not bother with a conversion bulb. Maybe a 400MH with a 600HPS would treat you right. Your plants will be huge if you properly veg them for 3 months and they'll be up to your ceiling by the time your done flowering. You've got a lot of homework to do, but you've come to the right place! Hope that helps some.

Ya - i was reading you have to keep 1000W 4 ft away from plant and i was wondering what i was going to do once i hit the ceiling- my ceiling is 8ft. DO people use 1000W inside a home or in a warehouse? Will a 400w MH / 600W HPS give me coverage throughout an entire 8x10 room?
