(To North America) Let me tell you, a warm damp paper towel in 2 weeks can get pretty skanky. Jeesh.

I've heard of a matchbox method in which you line the inside of a match box with high-grit sandpaper, place the seed in question inside, and give that bitch a damn good shaking. Marijuana seeds are hard so scuffing them may allow enough water to penetrate and do all the genetic mutation stuff that I'm still a bit foggy about. Best of luck bredgen!

scotty id love to give you pics of my empty grow case but i know thats not what your looks for. unfortunatly my seeds are still germing with little action in the past 24 hrs. so ill give those techniques suggested above a try then try regerming or straight into soil but in the mean time im going to start building another grow box it'll be 2x2x6 its a wardrobe in other words it'll house either a full plant of like for good size lollipops(i uber urban for this because he told me to do something while my seeds are germing). ill keep you guys updated on that aswell. along with im plotting for my outdoor grow aswell come may. im an abicious first time grower but i like a challenge but with this site backing me i hope to be unstoppable lol

yes thats right before i could even use those techniques that were suggested to me i woke up this morning to a pleasant surprise motha f*ckn tap roots son! anywho i gave the the course of the day while i was at work to grow alittle bigger.
Pic 1: these would be my asshole strain after about 3 days of germing, now with a solid tap root, greatest thing to see after a hard day at work!
Pic 2: here is my medium with the seed about a half in deep in the jiffy pots, medium was 50/50 soil and perlite but was quickly changed to 100 soil seeing it was drying out way to quick!
Pic 3: Heres my setup with the jiffy pots under the lights. why the tin foil around the pot you ask? i figure heat heat root growth why not heat the sides of the pots dont know if it really helped and also it can hide any roots from light that may have made its way through the pot.

Well... everyone will tell that I'm stupid and that it's not true... I'll talk with my own PC Grow experience. I'm starting my second grow now. My first grow is FULLY explained and pictured in my first thread. Anyway... From my experience in my PC Case, When the light was to close it seems like it was worst because of the heat build up. And because of the small space and reflective materials, I think it doesn't matters with the height of the light in there.
On my second grow, I'll leave my plants to the bottom and light high... cause it seems like because of the small enclosure, there was NO stretching at all!
Anyway, here are my threads if you want to look at:
First grow:

@dopewear, First off, congrats on the taps man! Finally the growing process may begin! I am uber excited to see how this works out, I've always wanted a computer case full of weed. Also, which steps are you taking to de-skunkify the exhaust air, if any? Also, have you considered incorporating peat into your potting mixture. I am currently using 1 part soil (with perlite in it) and one part peat, I've got to say that it makes a world of difference. The peat can hold up to 25x its weight in water and the air retention is awsome (feels like sponge when wet). Just maybe something you can consider. Peat = few bucks for big block.
@TheBlisters, I don't think you're stupid man, it makes sense that the spacing between the lamps and the plants isn't a crucial factor in growing in such a compact space. I'm sure there wont be many issues with the lights.

hey sky thank you for the comment yah i have a bag of peat under my bed along with all my other growing supplys why i didnt put it in now is beyond me but ill put it in when i transplant to a bigger pot, as for taking care of the smell ill lean towards a home made carbon filter soon enough. this is my first round of growing which ill learn and critique fun especially because im already building a bigger grow box

hey guy alittle update... so i frigured my small pot medium mixture wasnt doing to hot because it was 50/50 perlite and potting soil. it was drying out way to quickly so i transplanted the seeds/roots back into 100% potting soil yes i know i should have throwen in some peat but i had none available so im hoping the 100% soil holds water better.what are your thoughts?

I don't see why 100% pure soil wouldn't work, I mean just look around outside and everything is growing in soil, granted there are other things present in those soils as well. I just find that 100% soil compacts too much, and becomes really hard and crumbly. However it should in theory retain water better than 1 p. soil/ 1 p. perlite. As a temporary measure I suppose soil will be fine, but definitely take strides to get some peat in there, it's soo fluffy and airy. <3 Skybike
