no I didnt germinate it ... ive never had a succesful germination even using the "plate method and the paper towel"
I just poked a hole in soil and put a seed a inch in the soil... This is my first ever growing ANYTHING or creating new life.im high srry. anywayyyy i did that and covered the small hole and watered it until the soil was soaked. now im guessing ill wait until the seed comes out the ground. cuz I got the light set up from 7 in mornin to 7 at night. thats when it gets sunrise here and gets sunset. will it grow?.. or do i have to germinate it?
Edit: ohhh i forgot to ask... do plants hate heat?. cuz i got it in a 3x3 closet with no ventalation in it.. just the bottom of the door... i opened the door today and the heat beamed out on me and almost knocked my eyeballs out. It wasnt too hot but enough to make you say... ehh its hot in here, turn on the air condition.

to be honest I have never had success with just putting a seed in the dirt. You have to germinate the seed before puttin it in the soil. Make sure you put the plates in a warm place like on top of the a tv or monitor. It usually takes about 1-3 days for them to crack. Ive had them crack in as little as 10 hours though

so, I guess i will wait 4 days until I check on the seeds?
Edit: Ok, right when i saw ur post about asking if I germinated first... i started germinating some seeds.... just now after i posted, i checked on them and i seen theres like a little point of white sticking out of the seed and it looks kinda cracked open. I planted it. I have a question... how many hours a day should I leave the light on? 400w hps ballast. I work night shift and my 1 room apartment is hot when the light is on, anyway I would like for someone to give me a time frame I should set my light to turn on and off becuz I prefer to not be in my room while its warm as hell. soooo I start work at 7:00pm and I get home at 6:30am. I dont mind having the light on in the morning cuz thats when i get my morning high and i dont feel shit.

You need to keep your lights on at least 18 hours a day, some will even go 24 hours for several weeks. Hope you invested in a air cooled reflector. If the heats bothering you, you can bet the the plants are feeling it as well.

^^ for sure get your temps down.
Since you work night shift anyway maybe you should have your lights turn on at night to keep the heat down.
HPS I would keep it down to a 18hr cycle just because of the energy cost. I do 24 hours under t5's and flouros then move to a hps(12/12) to save money

Can't say how much your bill will go up, but keep in mind that the plants need at least 18 hours of light to remain in the vegitative state. If your going less, your going straight into flowering. Alot of guys will go straight into flowering with rooted clones, but starting with seedlings they will never mature enough to produce much bud.

so I should wait until the buds are a amber color untill I harvest them... cuz that means that they are ready to smoke to get me high huh? so i cut alittle bit of the branch and plant it to make clones?.... should I use a mature plant or a young plant?.... Thank you so much
So since my germinated seedling hasnt broke the surface yet... I should use 24 hour light for how many weeks?
should I keep the soil really really moist until the seedling breaks the dirt?
