got a question. it germed in 42 hours and I saw white tail!! so excited but I am not 100% ready yet so can I keep it in paper towel for other 24 hours before I put it in a 32 ounces cup for vegging?or will that kill it? it looks so beautiful too for germinating. room temp is 70 if anyone can tell me I should be okay because I am going to hydro store tomorrow to get few things to get 100% ready!
wow it did germed on my 1st attempt for growing but

ehh, you may not kill it, but it would be better off if you were to put it into some soil before too long.. just make sure when you plant it, you only put it in the soil about 1/4 inch or so.. too deep and it may not pop out.. too shallow and you can have problems as well..
g/l with the grow m8..

Thanks man, I dont have soil yet. so thats why .. unless I can use outside soil I live near potatoes field, so are they any good? or I am better off just to get fox farms ( the ocean version )
EDIT: well the soil is semi frozen right now but I can thaw it out

if you know for sure that your going to be getting it on monday, i'd say that you should be ok to wait till then... outside dirt is not the best choice, and it would be rather a pain in the arse to have to dump out a freshly planted seed and try and find it again in a big mound of dirt.. trust me, i've been down the road before, lol..
which soil brand name do you use? I am picking up 1.5 cubic feet bag tomorrow.. is that enough? I am only focusing on 1 plant for now. dont want to overwhelm myself

1.5 cubic yards is usually enough for me to fill about five or six three gallon pots, so it'll be plenty for one plant with no issues..
and i usually use fox farms ocean forest for my grows, and it runs a lil under $2o or so from my local hydro store.. its a lil more then what i could get it for online, but i like to support the local guy.. i also add about 30% perlite to the ffof, but its not really needed, but i like it for better aeration and better drainage, but there is plenty of it in ffof to begin with..
Thanks man. I am going to use http://www.advancednutrients.com/hydroponics/products/sensi_grow/sensi_grow_product_information.php for nutes. so I am wondering how much to use? or do you use tablespoon like cough syrup to measure liquid volume like 100 ml every quart of water then shake it up? but thats when I have 5 or 6 clove coming out just before hitting vegging stage and it would only take 14 days or so before hitting vegging stages right?. thanks for taking your time answering my questions.

nice.. that is what i'm using right now, advanced nutrients.. all of the measurements are on the sides of the bottles.. some of them are like 2ml per litre, some are more, some less.. it all depends on which one your using..
just add the amount of nutes to your water, then check the ph with a ph meter, and adjust it down to about 6 to 7 or so.. let it sit for a couple of hours, and recheck the ph.. it may have moved a lil on you.. if so, just readjust it to the 6 to 7 range.. oh yah.. shake the water nute combo well before applying.. and btw, start off at about 1/2 or so what they have on the bottles as they always seem to run a lil on the hotter side of things.. they do this so that you'll use more nutes and need to buy more sooner.. you can even start out at like 1/4 the dose, and every week bump it up another 1/4 so that by the end of a month you are at what the bottle says you should be using.. sometimes, less is more, escpeically when it comes to nutes..
