Alright, this is my first attempt at growing. I'll be growing some indoor seeds. After doing some research from here http://www.indoormarijuanagrowing.com/soil_growing.php I think I can do it.

But, I was wondering if it's possible to put the plants in plant pots, and still be able to have them inside of http://images.nitrosell.com/product_images/12/2853/large-724005 EXOTERRA GLASS TERRARIUM 18 X 18 X 18.jpg with all the other equipment that I have needed


So, basically, I want to have less of a mess, instead of having them over plastic on my floor, I'd have them in the tank

my first advice you is when you germinate your seeds and have an inch long tap root wet your soil and put the seedling in, DO NOT water the soil for atleast 2-3 weeks, there should be enough water in the soil to last it that long and it will grow faster this way. alot of new growers kill there plants this way...

Two to three weeks is much too long to go without watering, especially a seedling. I can see going three to seven days provided the soil is pretty damp to begin with. The problem with a lot of seedlings dying prematurely is that the water, almost any amount, settles to the bottom of the pot and the tiny little quarter to half inch tap root cannot get any moisture to sustain it. Yes, a LOT of people over-water, but there's no way I'd ever let it go two to three weeks between waterings, especially a seedling.

So if I understand you correctly your trying to grow in an exo terra style terrarium, with the pots and lighting all inside. I would have to say not a good idea. I have a few of those for reptiles i was thinking of converting one into a cloner, but if you want to have them in there for their whole life cycle there is just not enough room, unless your willing to spend $260-320 but then still you will be tight on space. i would invest a fraction of that money in a grow tent.

No, I was going to take them out after they got big enough. But, even if I kept them in there, I can take the screen off the top. But, I scrapped the idea of using the tank. I've got a series of pots that I'm going to use.

My new questions are though; after germnation, and they are in the pot, how much water should I be using and B) when it starts to grow, and the flower breaks the surface, should I be spraying the plant, or pouring water into the soul? Like, spray bottle the plant, and let it drip into the soil, or pour directly into the soil?
