I currently set up my own PC grow box. There are two 50-watt Phillip Agro Plant Lights specifically made for plant growth and development. The box is about 18 by 24 (lxh)got hanging about 6 inches away from my seeds. I have 3 pots with a few seeds in each. I put one pot with 3 seeds in and the temperature raised to about 100 degrees for a few hours. I then opened the case and placed in another small plant and now the temperature ranges between 80-90 degrees. I placed 2 other pots with freshly germinated seeds in the box today. Soil pH level is 7. How many days until the freshly germinated seeds start to pop out of the soil? Please offer as many possible tips so I do not get discouraged.

Mine usually grow 6 inches about 4 or 5 days in the soil with good conditions. And monday is right. You need to try to make it around 75 degrees. It is prolly hot because it is in a enclosed box. RULE OF THUMB- Shitty condition will result in shitty weed. So try to find some way to cool it down in there. Your plants will love it. And it could help if you put aluminum foil on the inside walls of the pc. It will reflect more light on the plants. Good luck. Want more advice just holler at me.

Actually you do NOT want to use aluminum foil because it will basically cook the plants, try mylar you won't need a lot so it will be cheap. TBoy is right about the heat and the "Rule of Thumb"
