    Yeh FrenzyBud is right, there's a health/alternative medicine shop in my town and they sell hemp seeds by the packet but I doubt they'll have many cannabinoids in if they are grown.

    Day 16 - New light setup - two 25 watt 6500k bulbs istead of the masive 125 watt thing. So far the results are good, especially for one of the plants. New setup -

    Oh, I just think it's a little yellowing of the leaves, it's nothing too serious. Update will be posted tonight at some point.

    I've put an order in for 4 more bulbs: 2x 6500k 25w cfl 2x 2700k 25w cfl I'll put these in as side lighting when I get them. I'll probably need another exhaust fan in there too as it will probably get pretty hot.

    Number 72 died but the other three are going nicely. Thinking of transpalnting them at some point soon. Also, I need some help on coming up with a drip-feed system to water the plants as later this month I will be away for a week and there will be no-one to tend to the plants. Any...

    I've decided to keep it on a 12/12 light cycle anyway after much internal conflict.

    I dunno what to do now. I've seen other people do their PC grows on 18/6 then switch to 12/12 and it's been orite. Surely if I do LSTing or SCROG I can control it? Besides can't i judge when the plants are the right size to switch to 12/12 - don't they triple in size when you start the flowering...

    Hi. Yeh it's a 70/30 compost perlite mix. The compost was pretty much all I had but it's not MG. I think the first ones died because they didn't have enough heat and they rotted as well. Compost might have been part of the reason though PS. I've decided to change to an 18/6 light cycle as...

    Finally I can see three little baby MJ hatchlings arising out of the compost. I have 4 plastic cups once again, each with a plant inside it, and I have labeled them 1, 2, 3 and 72. I'll give them names when I become more emotionally attached/dependent on them. After only 2 days of being in...

    Ok, after that initial balls-up, I'm trying again. I'm putting the 4 remaining afghani special seeds in water to soak for 24 hours then putting the seeds directly into medium, as I think the paper towel method rotted my last lot of seeds. I've also secured my CFL properly now so I should be...

    Ok, as far as my grow is concerned, everything seems to have gone fubar. I checked on the seeds, Ive been away for 4 days, and found that none of the seeds appear to have germinated properly, even the roots have gone missing, rotted away maybe~? And i still cant suspend my light properly in my...

    Ok, i'm having a really noobish problem here. My light has arrived but i can't suspend horzontally in the top of the pc case, the best i can do is tape around the ballast but eventually it would fall off. Any ideas? preferably that are cheap with materials to hand. Am I ok to wrap twine around...
