Hey every one. I got fed up with buying smoke every week, so I figure that I'll just start growing my own smoke. I've done reserch and decided that I'll grow with CFLs. I'll be posting up-dates every day or 2 depends on how things go:leaf:

Shot glass for germination? How is that gonna work? And looks good so far. Got any grow box set-up yet? And I've read people saying dont use nutes for the first 2 weeks to month, so you might want to look into that. And MG soil, i've HEARD since it has slow-releasing fertilizer it's not good for it. I could be completely wrong on that, but I'm just saying you might want to look into those two things.

I've gone through my soil and took out the small yellow nute balls and there wasn't many. well I've read on a site that they recomend germ. the seeds in water.

Wth? Just straight water and put the seeds in the water? I don't know exactly how good that's gonna work, i've never seen that. Have you looked at the regular paper towel method? there is a like for sure way to germ them, or like 90% germ success rate, it was on some post, but I don't know where it is, and I'm tired and don't really wanna find it sorry. Do you have your box built yet or no?

EDIT: Ya, with only 17 inches tall, take about 3 inches out for your lights, I think you're going to have to do a SCROG or LST grow. (Screen of Green) and (Low Stress Training) Link below just for reference. I don't know if you know all this stuff, but I'm just trying to be helpful.

the site I bought my beans off of say that they usaly get a 99% to 100% germ rate

no that's my temp veg area , I'm gonna be using my closet once its done. its kinda a table with a top and bottom part so if the plants get to tall I can just take the bottom board off and put some bricks under the wheals to make it higher.

Ohhh. Alright. Well I don't know 99% to 100% seems like a scam almost to me. Could be true, but we'll have to see when your seeds germ. What site did you buy them off of?

I don't tell people that. my friends that grow have asked me that but I told them that I'm not gonna tell them because of safty reasons and how would I know if I'm not gonna get my seeds or not and if they are gonna be healthy seeds or not. I'll do a video with my camra once I get it set up:leaf:

Alright sounds good. That's kind of weird, you don't give out the name to where you bought your beans? Why is that, if you don't mind me asking? Like Nirvana posts all its seeds right out there, so I don't think safety would be the reason unless its like a homerun buisness by someone.

nice work !!! gonna need a fan soon! that helps alot, just to keep them from getting flimsey,,

good luck,,:leaf:
thanks , I'm lucky that I'm growing in my bedroom because I have a window that's facing the forest so no one can look in to that I'm using for fresh air and for the plants I might use an air hocky table fan for now but I might use the other window fan I have
