Ok so a few weeks ago I came across some seeds and decided to stick them in a moist napkin inside one of my cupboards. I left them there for about a week and made sure that the napkin stood moist. Checked on them at the end of the week and sure enough there where my roots, out of 5 seeds 2 where fruitfull. I proceeded to transplant them from the napkin to soil and 2 days later I see my sprout. Now it seems to grow every day which I am guessing is a good sign, but I know I will soon have to move it from the tiny pot it is in so that it can grow. Now my question is, when will it be right to transplant to a bigger pot, or should I switch over to dwc? Which one is easier to care for soil or dwc? What fertilizers do I use to make sure my plant is fruitfull? Any information would be very useful at this point.

Thanks again.

you will have to establish a good root base before transplanting to a bigger pot, i like them to be a good 2-3 weeks in the smaller pot after good root growth is seen...i also like using soil , with just a simple 20-20-20 fert for its vegitation stage, but wouldnt use any fert until plant is at least 12" tall, and depends on how the plant is doing i will sometimes wait until 18"...any other questions you can give me a shout..gl

Thanks a lot for this information, I will wait another 2 or so weeks to Nero transplanting. I will have to buy light even though she gets direct sun light from 5am until about 6 or 7 pm. Do you think I need more than that right now? Also am keeping her in the bathroom for now until I can supply climate control, being that's it summer the temp is just right in there and the rest of the house is cold due to air conditioning.

Ok now it is coming along very well. She is about 3-4 inches tall and is sprouting beautifully. I am on my way now to go get soil and some nutes even though I won't be using them until she is a lot bigger, but at first I made a mistake I seem to have planted two seeds very close to each other, so I replanted the one that seemed to be growing a lot slower because I didnt want it affecting the bigger one. Now the bigger one is all on its own and is still growing daily, but the other seems to have just stopped. But it still very well alive and very nice green. Any Ideas anyone? Maybe the kind of soil I transplanted it to might be the reason because it has some kind of like wood chips in it?!?!?!?!

if its green it will grow bro give it time. i had a runt that stayed a few inches while others were almost a foot! shes still shorter than the rest but twice as bushy as all my others. it could be in shock from transplant and possible root bound (doubtful w. size but possible) so i say give it sum time.

Ok now,2 days later although the stem is still shorter the leaves are coming in beautifully. I just went and got some lights to give it a few more hours of light, and to control the temperature some. Thanks again guys!!!
