Well as far as soil bro I would say go with Fox Farm Ocean Forest. I have always had good results with this. You should also germinate your seeds rather than throwing them into soil. I get 100% success rate with an egg crate with some tissue and use a dripper to wet the tissue then throw a seed in each spot and let it sit in a dark area for a few days then check it. 100% every time. Love that method.

Nope, Not gay... i didnt name the strain so why would you even ask? A little afraid of your own swinging pendulum perhaps?

I'm excited to see these little guys grow. From the reviews it's nothing but +++'s so I can't see it letting us down at all. We're hoping to grow 2 at a time with what space we have.

We think that they, once in a growing frenzy may grow into each other, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem, they are short thick growers.


I'll try and post the pictures in our last forum to close it and maybe here as well to show you (that are interested) what our Male final product looked like.

PS: Hot water + 5-7 pot leaves = DELICIOUS Tea!


:leaf:

is it a super big deal if you dont water your soil in place before you plant your seed in it? I just noticed i just filld the cup pretty much to the top then made my 1/2 hole poped the seed in added some soil on top to fill the hole and waterd it in place and put them in the grow room, but I'm just thinking that I might have packed them in too much by watering them in place rather that and watering the soil in place before i made my 1/2 hole think its a big deal? I'd like to think im just over reacting a bit lol cuz we payed for these seeds :D

I'd wet the soil first. The seed may be too deep. If it were my grow, I'd dump the cup out now, and replant it in a wetted soil the right depth. If you do it soon it should be fine.

right now there under 3 cuz there so close to the light right now i dont want to bake the soil seems about 7deg Celsius hotter in there because everything is so close to the light making it a smaller space (like the shelf it's all on is near the top so wen the doors are closed the top 1/4 is hot and the bottom 3/4 under the shelf is cooler) i figure 4 in there will just make it way too hot so ill jus wait to add the 4th one till they sprout and we can move it down a bit

are they right under dude or do they just have light? dont want them to keep drying out, need to keep some moisture on'em lol.

Im sure you've got it properly, they just need light, not like a sprouted plant quite yet, no foliage for the light o hit, just simulates sun at a distance is all they require.

there both still very moist with water and the top isnt drying out at all im not worried about them its just that the temp is at 35deg and id rather see it at 30 but like i said there not drying on the top so if they stay moist and warm for the next day or 2 days they will be sprouted for shur i garantee! I left the door on it a lil more cracked open then i normaly do to help move more hot air out the top hopfully droping the temp a couple deg over the next day or 2 FUCKING CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM SPROUT!!!!

Edit: I have the drain tray on my wii box to give it some extra hight to the cfl's because having it on the shelf were we have it set seems pretty far from the cfl's but soon at it sprouts im gunna smoke the biggest bowl i can pack hahah

the top of the soil is about 6 inches from the bottom of the most powerful cfl its hot in there but it dosnt seem to be drying the top soil at all, its holding it's water retention quite well, good thing there perlite in it ehh :D
Just kinda going blind on this one because ive never germinated seeds this way before, I've always done the plate papertowel seeds papertowel plate and kept them moist and in a warm place untill they were ready to be planted, so i dont know when im going to see some action happening hah

I wouldn't worry about keeping them close to the lights at all yet. I would mist if the top drys out over the next couple days. When they sprout then worry about it.

when u do the soil method for germination a trick is to tightly (so NO air gets through) rap clear plastic on the top of the pot and u don't even have to worry about moisture. Water once before wrapping and it will stay evenly mosit till the little gals sprout. I used this method in growing tomatoes but actually learned from a marijuana grower lol.

I used a rubber band and a piece of a clear plastic sandwich bag.
