Ok, so my first attempt was with some random bagseed, and I ended up killing my seedlings with overwatering. BUT! This time, I have a lot more information and I think that I've learned some lessons.
So, I'm starting with 5 seeds each of BC Mango and Purps from BC Seed King. The service I got from BCSK was pretty much in line with most of the reviews that I've read, got my beans 2 weeks after sending my cash payment (from Pennsylvania), discrete and secure packaging, good-looking seeds. We'll see how the genetics turn out, I just wanted something better than bagseed and with their low prices, I won't feel too bad if anything ends up going to shit.
Germinating with the paper towel method, I'm going to put them under CFLs until they're ready for the 400w MH light. I'll have them in styrofoam cups for a few weeks until I switch to 6'' coconut fiber pots with Fox Farm Ocean Forest mix, and apply Fox Farm's liquid soil formulas when the plants are ready. I'm going to switch to a 400w HPS light when it's flowering time. I'm growing in a closet about 4' x 4' x 5', and I'll be lining it with reflective mylar. I'm lucky enough to live pretty close to HTGSupply's retail place, so most of my equipment is going to be coming from them.
That's pretty much it for now, wish me luck, and I'll add pictures when I have more to show
PS Feel free to leave advice, comments, angry rants, etc.
