Ok so heres the deal. I have a box that is 28x18x13 with 2 CFL's 100w each. I am using 2 fans 1 for intake and 1 for exhaust. I germinated 8 seeds in a paper towel under a bowl to keep it dark. They germinated after 2 days. 6 seeds germinated and have been in the dirt for 1 1/2 days now. I'll post pictures later. A couple of questions. How long should I expect it to take to see them break surface of the dirt? any advice is welcome as well as any questions.

a nute is a nutrient. There are many different kinds of nutes, look at the grow journal section and read through what some people have used for their nutes. For example, I use General Hydroponics brand nutrients.

use the IMG code for photobucket. Copy and paste the link on the bottom under each pic that says img. That way your pics will show up and not just links.

See told ya!...now for my next tip. If you have height/space limitations in your room, don't wait too long to start pruning and/or bending etc. At least for me, I tend to sit back and be amazed(and stoned) at how much and how fast they grow. Then by the time I realize I needed to top the plant or whatever, it is more difficult. Especially if you plan on cloning...top the plant early(well...not late) so you'll encourage side branching aka clone sites.

And for the last tip...you see that little gray box with a _+plus symbol under my join date....click it and watch the magic...lol not really.. its the reputation system, just a way to say thanks.

Good Morning Everyone! Had an exciting morning when I woke up to 2 plants now with the little coydl leaves and the 2 little jagged leaves. A third plant is about to break through as well, I can see its bent stem. Im currently using 2 100w envirolight CFLs on a 12/12 schedule and I raised the seeds a little closer to the sprouts. Im planning on starting LST as soon as possible. Pics will be up later. My camera sucks and I cant give you details until I use my buddy's camera. Keep you posted.

get rid of those cardboard dividers they just block light. After your plants sprout you need to transfer them to seperate pots.
