Sooo.. I got a bag of some random good. My doctor told me that the plants got stressed over his vacation and had a few seeds in it. I know its not the best way to start out, but for some reason I grabbed a few, stuck them into paper towel, and my journey began, again.

I have 6 going, hoping for 1 good mother. Once mother gets right, i will use cuttings for a perpetual setup.

Cash is negative right now so anything ill need, i have to slum it up.

Running the 96wcfl 6400k 24hours for a week, maybe two. Then take it down to 18.

I will be using a 400w hps 4in cooltube(not sure for what right now), a 600w hps/mh 6in cooltube switchable w dimmer, 2 6in 440 cfm inline fans, 1 4in 175 cfm inline fan, carbon filter, portable a/c

When i start getting cuttings and they get around 1ft tall, ill move to a grow tent with the 600w

I figure ill take two cuttings every 3-4 weeks, so the tent keeps around 6 in there at a time.

Oh.. btw, soil grow all the way. FFOF with 30% perlite, 10% pct seed starting.

Two transplants, solos to 2 quart, to 3 gallon.


Problems: Temperature, money, cats, cold, cats, poorly insulated house, cats, me over watering, etc.




Anything you want to add to help me along, or just want to follow each others progress feel free to sub and drop me a post with a link to your journal/journals. Looking forward to seeing this one through.

So.. 2 out of the 6 seedlings are whats left. Not sure why they died.. think it had something to do with my soil mix. When i water them the water doesnt go through the soil like it should, considering adding around 2 or 3 more parts perlite. Soil holds the water good, even at high temps. Ill figure it out when money starts rolling in from work.

Added 4 cfls (100w equiv) and they get kinda hot. Got some curling going on.. iirc thats from heat?

O well, i got a few more seeds sprouting lets hope for some good females.
