Hi ive been readin this forum for weeks and usin lots of tips mentioned a lot have did this so far. Fgerminated the seeds then put them in 3 inch pots left them 1inch under a 70w floro tube for 24 hours over a week. . .soil was miracle grow and i watered every 2 days. After the week the seedlings sprouted 2 wee round leaves and the 2 large pointy ones woohoo. I put together an area made of white glossed wood and white tiles on the floor and repotted my 4 babies into 6 inch pots and noticed the roots were huge and stickin out the bottom of the small pots. . Which i thought was great. Now ive put them n the area under a 250w red spec. Cfl plus 2 100w regular energy savers. They are on 18/6 light and i water most days. . Sometimes lights on sometimes befire they go off. . . Is this important? Thanks if you read this and thanks even more if any you experienced gardners can pick me up on any mistakes. I started grow 20th march and my plants have huge two pointy leaves and probably at least 6 smaller ones. .the stems are reddy andcovered in tiny hairs. . Does all this seem normal. , .thanks also to averyone else who uses this forum as i knew nothin til i came here:o

nice bro.. ya the first post you said you put them under red spectrum for 18/6? i didn't get that, you def want blue spectrum for veg, red for flower.. you're right on now with the MH for veg.. keep them under that, between 18/6-22/2, until you are ready to flower... then when you are ready to flower, transfer into larger pots, i'd go with 3gal or larger.. i'm using 3's now, just little $.90 cent cheap-o's but next time i'm goin for some 5 or 7 gallon smart pots (or root pots).. another suggestion too, i'd say when you transplant to larger pots.. go with some organic soil, and mix some shit into it like guano and worm castings.. keep em under that MH tho, thats the way to go, then when you wanna flip them, put them under hps.. 12/12.. i actually just read, and i'm bout to try, cut light down to 11h for last 2 weeks of flower ripening.. dude said he flowers with 11h light the whole time and has great results.. good luck man, get some pics up!!! -peace

nice, lookin healthy bro... if you got the extra cash, i'd transplant into larger pots before you flip to 12/12, and when you transplant, sprinkle the fuck outta the roots with some roots organics 'oregonism' or similar... hell ya fool, i got a poster of your avatar lol..
