Small CFL Setup

[Scroogeness]

did they sprout? or did you just now put them in the soil?

 

[SzechwanChicken]

naw i just put em in the soil like at exactly 1:00. now that i have those going. wtf do i do with my other seeds i bought?

 

[Baz]

How about planting em?

 

[SzechwanChicken]

How about planting em?

i have 17 more seeds. holy fuck i cant grow all those at the same time. had a hard enough time deciding where to put just 3. i could give them to my friend who helped me with this operation but he isnt very reliable or hardworking. so i know he wouldnt be able to handle growing

 

[Baz]

save em then so once you get your head arround your set up and growing they will be there to grow later

 

[SzechwanChicken]

i have them stored in what they came shipped in. dimbag,envelope, bubblewrap,cdcase. and stuffed that in a suitcase. do i need to change locations? like if heard store in a film canister n such

 

[Baz]

Yea man post em to me i'll look after em for ya lol, no seriously i had about 6 seeds stored in a dime bag in my drawer for about 4 month and they all still grew

the key is cool, dry, dark. You just need to make sure you keep all the elements (water, light, etc) that make them grow away from them, and they should be just fine.

aight aight. i just took a look at the temp and humidity. hovering below 80F but the humidity says its at 30%. i have the fan going 1/3 of its fastest speed just to get out some heat. is the fan a problem

 

[SzechwanChicken]

24 hours later and no sign anything is happening. iono if something was supposed to sprout this early or not but im not really worried about that. i have plenty of other seeds to try out to get a bigger root. i check back now and again just to make sure my cab isnt on fire

 

[Baz]

Sorry can you refresh me. these are germinated seeds planted in soil? if so how long they been in the soil and how deep did yyou plant em?

 

[SzechwanChicken]

yea they in soil for a day now and i put them in a hole the depth of my fingernail. iono how long it is. like maybe half inch iono. like i said. i wasnt really expecting too much in such a short time. its just on my mind cuz i keep going bad to check out if my cab is on fire lol.

 

[Baz]

Yea you planted them at just the right depth, the shortest mine took was just over 3 days and the longes was almost 5 days, also what have you got running in your cab, if there is nothing sprouted? or have you got other plants already grown in there?

 

[SzechwanChicken]

naw this is my first time doing a grow. all i have is a couple of books stacked high enough so my bucket with the cups in it reaches the light and my computer fan running on low just to get some heat out. its at 25 degrees celsius(just below 80F) and 35% humidity.

 

[Baz]

ahh ok, be real carfull with that plastic bucket, looks quite close to your bulb there

 

[SzechwanChicken]

it alright. ive touched it and its barely retaining the heat

 

[AsbestosToast]

you could cover them with something to get the humidity up. something clear. don't quote me, but i think seedlings like closer to 70-80% humidity, then less for vegging and even less for flowering. once again, I could be wrong. =] Good luck

 

[SzechwanChicken]

so day 2 and i still dont see anything. is white widow just that stubborn? and what do you think i can cover my cups with? i dunno really what you mean by that

 

[AsbestosToast]

like saran wrap or a clear plastic cup. just anything that would keep humidity in and also let light in.

What is your cab made out of? To me everything looks fine. Just keep the soil somewhat damp. Humidity isn't a huge issue. I also grow with CFLs and I usually keep my humidity around 35-40% and they do just fine.

Just sit back and chill and smoke one
