[Never grown before]

Hello all

Im starting my new grow today.

I started off with a large mdf wood and cut it down it fit the corner off my room.

it measures 95cm height 63cm depth and 31 width.

I has also placed 4 holes at the bottom one is being used as a intake using a PC fan i also have another PC fan just blowing air around other holes at the back are just left open,

Using 125w CLF lamp its huge

only looking to grow around 2 plants stealth is the key the pc fans are runningnoisey at moment not sure why.

I have also painted inside flat white and used a bit of diamond mylar.

Soil im using will be John Innes number 2 not sure why i picked this just seemed to be only one i thought would help.

Amature i know just looking to grow

Got seeds just not sure best way to start either.

please advise what i can do to improve my setup thanks in advance

Cheers mate just needed help with how to germinate seeds n move them to soil

 

[nuera59]

old seeds should be presoaked in water for 24 hours (i also do with fresh seeds but some people will say this is not needed), then moved to a dinner plate lined with toilet roll anderneath and above (moist not wet).
put another plate on top so they are covered in darkness, keep this warm (say the back of a telly or airing cupboard).
when the seeds crack (tap root down) move them to your chosen medium ie: soil, rockwool, peat pellets, coir cubes ect..

Thanks for the advise I'll get onto the seeds now.

I've heard people say plant with root up as this speeds growth any ideas?

Thanks

 

[nuera59]

please take my advise and plant with the tap root DOWN!

How long can a seed take to germinate?

also do you water the soil ready for the seed once rooted? or after you move your seed in?

Thanks

Hi, a fellow countryman ( or woman) I watered a few tablespoons worth when the soil felt dry and watered the soil straight away after sowing- got 100% germination rate on 5 seeds within a few days-week. Some of the seedlings keeled over a little so i put a lollipop stick in to support until stronger and could repot further up the stem to compensate. I started off a complete newb to growing and have learnt alot on these forums and through trial and error lol. Feel free to check out my journal- im currently close to harvesting- so if i can do it anyone can lol

All 3 seeds germinated one just popped a root see pictures below.

I started with

1 x Big Budda Blue Cheese (Rooted well)
1 x G13 Lab Skunk No1 (Rooted ok)
1 x Wonder Women (Just popped a root)

I have now moved into soil and sprayed a little water over them P.H for soil is 6.5

If i need to do anything else please advise

Thanks
