Day 1: Had a seed germinate, taproot about .25 inches. Placed in 4" container with MG Organic soil, under three CFLs,

Will finish setup and start the other plants tomorrow and Saturday. Two other seeds cracked, letting germinate further until setup is 100% ready.

Hopefully the other two crack, for a total for 5. Getting more seeds this weekend from a friend. By next Wednesday, I hope to have all the plants ready, the setup 100% operational, and the growing started.

Almost! :p

Day 2/3:

All five cracked. Went with a simple rubbermaid box, one upside down on the other. Some Miracle Grow organic soil. Eight lights total, four 2700K and four 6500K. Four seeds in there, one other in another location (TBD if its moving into the rubbermaid). Getting 30ish more seeds from a friend, some headies (including purple kush and Sour Dies), most are middies. Will grow those as opposed to cloning for the time being.

Awaiting spouts! Hoping for ladies!

Day...6, I suppose.

Four sprouts in the soil, one never took hold.

Current setup: Five 2700K 23w (I think that's the wattage, will check), three 6500 42w on 18/6. Will be changing that for five/three the other way once I run out and grab some other bulbs. But, for now, it gets the job done and the 2700K CFLs will have been pre-burned in so they will be brighter for flowering.

The setup isn't ideal, so I just have a stationary room fan on top, in the opening where the lights are going in, blowing directly down. Just something to keep the air flowing in there and the little ones are getting wind to fatten up those stems and cool down the box; those CFLs are running fairly warm.

So far, so good. Let's hope for females! If not, there are plenty, plenty more seeds

Just came back, they're looking great. We're doing some adjusting of the setup tonight, but the little ones are already about 2ish inches tall and new leaves are visible. The fan is working well to keep them cool. One light bulb keeps going out, but that'll all be fixed tonight.

Month into it, they look fantastic. Lost one when something fell on it as a seedling, so there are just three now. I'm gonna say after two or so more weeks, time to move them into flowering.
