Ok, after waiting for my cute babies to come out of the ground ... now i am in some difficulty.
I need to know how often should i water them (my soil is 35-40% sand and 60% potting soil)? Also, should i use a vaporizer until they grow the first leafes?
This is they`re first week of life, should i keep the fluorescent lighting on 24/7 for 2-3 weeks till they get stronger or is that bad ?...
When should i first feed them fert?
I`m raising Cindy 99 feminized if that makes any difference.
Please help me ... this is my first grow and i wanna make it a good one.
I could really use a joint right about now. :roll: :peace:

ok seeing that your potting soil has alot of sand, your going to be watering more frequently

ive growing random seeds without a vaporizer, so thats not needed

once they sprout you can have 24hr light on them if u want to, but i go with 18/6 to save light works just as well.
once ur rdy to flower them turn to 12/12

ok fert depends on your soil, does your soil already have fert in it? if it does then ready your soil bag it sometimes says how long the ferts will last until ou can use new fert or nutes.

might be a bit tricky with femanized seeds,b/c you can possibly stress them out and they might come out hermi's.

keep that light only a few inches away from your plants flour. dont put off that much heat and wont burn the plants..

watering once a day till it comes out the bottom should be good till they get bigger
I wouldn't fertilize with anything other than a weak starter solution till they get 6 - 8"
no real need for a vaporizer just get a spray bottle and spray with water once or twice a day on the bottoms of the leaves
I go with 18/6 light for vegging just because I "believe" they need some sleep to grow better...but many people go with 24hrs.
good luck
