Its not that wet though, only 1/2 of the top soil is moist. I built this for soil, im not going to just drop it and rebuild for a hydro set up.

Yeah careful with your watering, new growers whether your're going cannabis or tomatoes tend to over water plants. I know the feeling of wanting to do everything you can to make it work but these things take time. At the moment I'm getting so anxious cause I did

my first topping/fimming today and I won't see any changes for a few days and it sucks. So with watering just make sure again that it dries out a bit before watering again. Their roots grow better when reaching for moisture. If you continuously keep them moist then

they will not grow out properly and could develop root rot or some mold. Not to scare you I don't think its hard to manage but its just somethings to keep in mind.

Im most anxious just to find out if i didnt over/under water, ill find out when i see it poke its head above the soil, from there, it will be easy to figure out if its over or under watered cuz you will have signs. Luckily, this is why i found bagseed so i can test and fuck around on them.

I've never grown with a hydro set up but I've always heard that organic bud always comes out better. I am sure with a hydro set up you can grow just as big but organic is supposed to have a better taste. Now this can be debated but its what I've heard from some experts as well as read. But totally stick with soil, hydro may be easier but I think soil would be more rewarding considering there is more to worry about and you're going the way mother nature intended.

You should just highlight your "Ajjax Bagseed Sterilite Bin Stealth Grow" and then click the "World Link" button next to the smiley faces on the comment tool bar and then put the URL of your thread. It will turn it into a simple link that you can click cause right now your signature needs to be copy and posted in order to go see it.

Update*
2nd day of grow-

Wasnt a fan of the seed starter pots with the potting soil, i awoke and found the soil was solid, no way a seed could produce roots to move through it.
SO! I went to my local grow store and got some rapid rooters with a humid cover and bin to set them in, was 30$ for the bin, humid cover and 50 pods.

Took the sead out of the start pot and placed it in the rapid rooter pod, but, before placing it i soaked the pod for about 30 minutes in room temp water that has sat out for over 48 hours. Placed it in the bin and put the humid cover on it, put it in my closet which is never used, completely dark in the upstairs of the house, very hot and humid. I will wait until it starts to sprout, then I will get some light on it and go from there. Heres some pics!

*The dark pod with the hole covered has my single seed. As stated before, doing this ALL on bagseed for a test run before doing my bubblicious grow.

Comments welcome!

Do you think doing it with these rapid rooters in a humid dark area will be better then how had i had it previously?

ive got 91% humidity, everything ive read online so far has said light isnt necessary until it pokes through the surface, then add the light, is this not correct?

haha i feel ya, i think it will sprout without the light, once it sprouts though, that thing is goin right inside my box under 1x 6500 cfl, i honestly feel ALOT better about these rapid rooters over that junk soil and seed starter pot i had earlier, just the feel of the pods made it feel like it was meant to promote great aeration and root growth. Cant wait til it pops so I can get some more people following my grow, thanks for sticking with me FAB and Balactus, and thanks for the advice.
