This is my first attempt at a journal I have been lurking for a while, I have tried some of what I learned, I grew one male sucessfully using soil and cfls and have killed 7 seedlings in a homemade bubler set up ( ph problems)
Now, I have an aerogarden, and I am alos attempting another soil and cfl grow, I am doing them at the same time, both very basic so i can decide which type of grow works for me, I am a complete newbie so I will have more questions than answers but feel free to chime in
The basics:
10 seeds all bag seed place them in a cofee cup with water, waited 24 hours 6 had sunk to the bottom ( this is the only method I have had success with) those six are the seeds that were planted
3 seeds in soil in a closet 2 26w daylight cfls 1 42w warm cfl and 2 26 watt warm cfls
3 seeds in the aero garden, 1/4 strenght aero starter nutes 1 20 gal dual outlet airpump plus 8 inch airstone, I have a reflective emergency blanket draped over the unit to keep the light contained.
All seeds were planted on the same day so I can have a direct comparison, I am bad with dates but I will try and keep it clear for this journal
SO far I have 1 sprout in the soil set up and 1 sprout in the aerogarden also, they both were planted on the same day and both sprouted on the same day, I will post pics of both set ups in a few
Wish me luck
