Sup guys, i have read many books and guides, but this is one of the things that they mostly don't tell you... Also, i'm not growing inside... I'm growing outside, because i live in greece and the climate here is beautiful :leaf:

I've germinated my seeds, now where do i put them? Please could you guys answer these questions because i have absolutely no clue... :(

1. Where do i put them? - I'm thinking of putting them in a small plastic cup with soil...

2. How compact must the soil be? - Should i press it down very compactly, or leave it very loose?

3. How wet must the soil be? - Should i dampen it, make it soaking, or just leave it dry?

4. Where do i leave this after i've planted it? - Outside? In the sun? Inside? In the dark?

5. How warm must the place which i leave it be?

Thank you SO much in advance guys! If you can't answer all of these questions, any answer is much appreciated

Best suggestion I have is to buy a book by Jorge Cervantes if you learn by reading and seeing pictures. If you learn by watching videos and doing, then get Jorge Cervantes' Ultimate Grow DVD and you will be on your way.

yes u can start them in a 16 or 18 ounce cup, but make sure it is completely full to the top with soil to give plenty of room for root grow in the first few weeks.

you should press the soil down firmly but not pack it hard, when putting it in the cup.

make sure you completely water the cup till it drains out the bottom (make sure to put at least 6 drainholes in it before putting soil in), then you can plant ur seed & make sure it is no more then 1/4 inch deep in the soil.

at this point u dont need light, but u do need warmth. so u can either keep it inside someplace warm or put it outside, that is fine. it doesnt need to be in the dark, per se, because it is in the dark underneath the soil.

seeds sprout best in temps 70 degress or above, I would not put it in a place that is going to drop below 70 if you can at this point.

1. Where do i put them? - I'm thinking of putting them in a small plastic cup with soil...
It depends on the size you want them to be general rule is 1gallon=1foot. I would recommend 5 gallon pots.
2. How compact must the soil be? - Should i press it down very compactly, or leave it very loose?
You want the soil to hold together and break apart with little force, so loose soil I guess.
3. How wet must the soil be? - Should i dampen it, make it soaking, or just leave it dry?
moist not soaking.
4. Where do i leave this after i've planted it? - Outside? In the sun? Inside? In the dark?
really? Put it outside where its warm with atleast 5 hours of direct sunlight.
5. How warm must the place which i leave it be?
78 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal
