My First Growth

hey guys,

this is going to be my first thread so all help is appreciated.

So since the summerIve been a avid bud smoker, ever since then i have been making new smoking devices, trial and error bongs and other ideas Ive had andfinally have made this water bong out of an old vase some foil tape and a few other materials

My Bong

Now for the past couple of months I've been throwing around the idea of growing a single plant and try my hand at it so about Thursday of last week i decided that i would germinate a few seeds (by taking seeds placing them between 2 paper towels and in a zip-lock bag) after about 36 hours i decided i was going to plant one and get rid of the rest. i did so and since then it has grown. the only soil i had around (because its winter) was some from an old plant that had some roots and stuff in it, i sifted out the bigger stuff, put it in a plastic cup, planted the seed germination and watered it to my surprise it has grown. the only problem is lighting, i cannot leave a light on 24/7 or even 12 hours straight..

and.....

And....

Finaly....

these photos were taken today (1/12/10)

So that's my growth and i would appreciate some advice, help, or tips thanks

you are sucking in these ways, your images are way too big, you need to leave the light on otherwise you wasted the seeds. Dude, I had to make this page zoom out 3x to be able to view it.

With your set up your lucky to have gotten as far as you did. You need to do a LOT of reading before you try to grow. You're also going to need money for things like soil, nutrients, and grow lights.

You are going to have to leave that light on for 18 to 24 hrs a day for at least 4 weeks. Then after that you will have to keep it on for 12 hrs a day. If you can not do that than your plant will die. You should have started that seed in the pot that it will stay in. You will have to transplant that seed in a week max. You should go read as many soil posts as possible because you seem very new to this grow thing.

you need at least a gallon of soil to get some sort of realistic yield...

you also need to stick to lighting schedules, and get more light....

build yourself a growboc out of a pc case.... it's stealthy and they work, cheap too on craigslist..... time to look all that shit up.... read a FAQ too....

Try to imagine that you're trying to grow a plant indoors.
