Good news! Checking up after work, (roughly 24 hrs after the initial break), removed the soft-splint and the stem is staying erect all on its own :D I've left the soft-splint in, just moved it around so the plant isn't de pending on it to stay upright, right now it's just there so thatif there...

In the process of upgrading my lighting syste, I managed to snap the stem on a 3cm plant (only been in soil about 5/6 days). I've read a few threads/guides about attaching a broken plant to a support and that'll allow it to heal in time, but this is such a yong plant, I really think attaching...

Yeah i was wondering what the best wa to deal with the smell was, I'll check that out. And there's no way I'm telling anyone. My housemate is totally cool, and it's his gaff so we'd actually talked about growing in the shed out back before. Thing is, his brother smokes, and so do a few other...

Ok, I've spent the day setting my seedlings up in an alcove behind my computer desk. For now they're on a 24-hr lighting schedule, although i do have a time plugged into the systme so I can start modifying the light/dark stages as I need to. Also the alcove is behind my desk so I would guess the...

It doesn't matter what orientation you plant seeds in. Geotropism (response to the pull of gravity) will cause auxins (plant growth hormones) to re-distribute themselves to the lower part of the root, which will grow downwards in response, while the stem will start to grow upwards. Regardless...

I think I'm starting to see the seed coat split on at least one of the 2 remaining seeds. I think there may also be some splitting starting on the other seed, btu I'm less sure about that, still I'm quite happy with 4 out of 5 up to this stage :D

So far I've potted 2 of 5, one more is ready for potting, and I'm trying to get 2 more to sprout, but I'm thinking they may be duds, still I'll give them a good chance before I write them off!

Good advice guys, rom what I'd read up to now I was planning on giving all the seeds at least a week to sprout, unless I came across any aprticularly strong reason to starting potting them earlier. Plus that suited me logistically with juggling work and secretly growing pot :p I'll be on over...

Perfectly timed amigo, I just checked and there's 2 nice ong sprouts and one more jsut beginning to show. but there are 2 more that are still undecided, was wondering if they were duds or there was some way i could "encourage" them. I'll give your way a shot :D

This thread is awesome beyond my ability to articulate!!! I wanted EXACTLY this kind of info for my first grow! Frakking brilliant! You all rock!

I'll "Apollo" you :p Just got in from work, and checked the ittle beauties, have AT LEAST 2 definite sprouts beginning to show, I'm so excited!!! I wonder if this is what pregnant women feel like :p

Cool, at least now I can be happy I'm not completely fouling up the sprouting stage, wouldn't want things to implode before the rocket is even off the pad :p Muchos thanks guys!

Al right, I'll give tha a shot. Like i said I jsut want to be sure they sprout first, then at least I'll know I have something to work with!

ah ok i follow, the quality was medium I would say. Generally the quality of what we get over here is fairly low, and I'm sure part of the reason is the way it's grown, and the fact that dealers tend to flog the crap here. So I'll be happy just to have a small crop of relatively decent stuff fro...

Sorry i didn't understand that? Cool, thanks for the input Koabear! You're a legend!

So you think I can be reasonably confident of these guys sprouting the way i have them set up?

I'll be soil growing them

Greetings all and sundry, I apologise well ina dvance for the N00b-ness of my question, and i did go through the FAQm and several threads as well as methos on several other sites before posting. I felt the ebst way to be comfortable with what i'm doing was to open the floor to the many clearly...
