So here we are... It is october 14 2016 at approx 4:30 pm est.... So i will start my story here and continuously post my progress and hopefully get some tips along the way to make this a success... So a little about me... I live in canada... I am in my late 30s... I have a daughter.. Wife... Step kids... A pretty normal life... I have been a chronic toker for most of my life... Since about 14 years old if my memory serves me correctly.... I would say i am a connoisseur of marijuana... I have smoked a lot of different strains and always took an interest in what i was smoking as opposed to just smoking to get high... My favorite strain so far being a mango kush and anyone who has ever tried or smelled it will tell you the same that it is some of the best shit out there... Also i DO NOT have a grewn thumb... To be honest anything i have ever had that was living i killed it (plants not people or animals lol)... So anyways i had these seeds i got from something i picked up in the last 5 monthes or so... I always keep my seeds... They were a mix of a bunch of stuff... Not labelled so no idea what to expect... I started the seeds in a cup of tap water... Room temp and then placed in the cupboard... Only 1 survived and got a tap root... Went out... Bought a 1L clay pot and drip tray... Some fafard potting soil mix and rigged an old lamp to reach over the pot with 1 x 13w flourecent (standard coil bulb)... I put the soil in the pot leaving about an inch from the top of the pot... Poked a hole in the middle about a half inch deep with a pencil... Took my germinated seed with a pair of tweezers and dropped it in the hole... It dropped in tap root slightly up but i didnt want to mess with it so i gently covered with soil... A little water basically just spraying the top of the soil and setting up my 13w cfl light about an inch and a half away from the soil and then waited... So this was monday... By wednesday morning i had a sprout... I was amazed since usually i kill everything... So now its friday ... The process has taken since last friday from germination to sprout... I have been running the cfl like an inch and a half away 18/6 moving the light up every day to match the growth of the seedling... Today i upped the game a bit... Got rid of the cfl light and upgraded to 3 x 100 watt output led day light bulbs... 1 from the side and two stronger ones above... I had to move them away a little as there is a bit of a heat signature but for the most part the plant seems less stressed and growing pretty much everytime i go in my closet... I realize my setup is weak and i plan to get a tent and 400w led grow light but i really wanted to be able to get my feet wet with a simple setup... I will add as i go along... Here are a few pics of my seedling and my light setup.... Would love to have some feedback aswell... I am definately a student in the grow game
