Growing them indoors.
Water them when needed, when soil becomes excessively dry at the top.
Growing them in some Miracle Gro Organic Choice potting mix.
No idea what stages they are at this point...
At one point in time, I was growing all my plants in a cardboard box with 2 compact fluorescent (6500K spectrum) lamps (they're desklamps, but it's what I had, and the spectrum was right on em, and they were free). I had them on a 16-8 light cycle for vegetative growth and used a solution of plant food in a squirt bottle as well as distilled water.
I had started my plants in starter trays with seeding soil in them. They grew very slowly. 4 sprouts, I put in a window box with organic garden soil. 2 sprouts I put in individual plastic pots with the organic choice potting mix. They 4 in the window box grew very, VERY slowly. The 2 in the pots, grew much, much faster and larger by far.
2 plants in the window box ended up becoming male and putting out pollen, even though they were only 3 or 4 inches tall and not bushy in any way. I killed those two off. One of the obvious females I put in her own grey pot. The other female is still in the window box.
I transplanted one of the separate, bigger plants into a bigger pot, and it instantly came back to life after starting to wither. The other separated one is all curled up and pretty much dead (I prolly can't save it I guess).
Now....the female in the big grey pot is growing more steadily now that I transplanted it. The bigger plant in the green pot is now starting to wither in the same manner as the other separated one.
The two in the larger pots, I have moved out of the box and put them right inside a window because a guy who used to grow the stuff told me that the plants might just need a little natural sunlight.
I am completely amateur at this and I don't have the money (at the current moment) to spend on anything really fancy.
What the hell is going on? Am I overwatering them? Underwatering them? Too much light? Too little light? Too much nutrient?
Can anyone help me...
