My First Attempt.

This is my baby right here. I grew it from bagseed that I've had lying around in a drawer for about 5 years. Just recently got back into smoking as alcohol was taking over my life, and these beautiful plants are medicating me right through this hard time.

I germed 3 seeds but only one sprouted, and surprisingly at that, I used the paper towel method. It had been such a long time since I had read anything about this process that when once it sprouted it shot up about 3.5 inches stretching for the light from the windowsill. I then rushed here and read a sticky about re planting it up to the leaves and getting a light an inch away and this is what I have now, no more stretching and bigger leaves at about a week and a half.

I have been researching some and would like to ask some questions. I'm thinking about trying to germinating the rest of the seeds I have as this could turn out to be a male. After that I was either going to build a rubbermaid growbox, or use the attic of my apartment, preferably the attic. Is this going to be too hot, or will a fan be sufficient in cooling the plants down? If I am able to use the attic, will I need to build a grow space, or will just leaving them there with the lights be enough? I've read this like using mylar to reflect light, but is it really needed? Lastly, if the attic is usable, will I have to do any thing about the odor in my living space, or since it's in the attic with the not travel through the ceilings? Thanks.

mylar does work, it stops the light going elsewhere and reflects it back onto the plant. attics are great places to grow, mines bleeding freezing ut im guessing your in a warmer climte, if so probably forget about the attic unless you have the means to get an extractor kit to pull frsh air into the plant but im guessing thats a bit much for you as you only want a small grow.
if you are only having a couple of plants just biuld yourself a grow box with a couple of computer fans to get air in and out, lined with mylar should work fine. if you build a small box you could then always add a carbon filter, this will remove the funky smell before going into the house.
as for the plant its looking fine, personally i only have one light about 1.5 inches above. then when it gets to a few inches i stick it under the mh.
good luck with the grow,

Those seeds were ok after 5 years! Wow thats really good, i would trust these seeds totally.

Yea I thought the attic may be too hot, but what if I did a grow box up there with the fans, would it keep it cool in the box? Yes, 5 years give or take, I kept them in a small plastic bag rolled up all the way in the back of my sock drawer I just tried germinateing 3 only one sprouted, but I have about 10 more that I'm going to try out tomorrow with the paper towel method. I'm basically trying to figure out a way I can keep it away from the kids, not worried about company, two young ones, 5 and a year and a half, from finding and speaking of, or destroying the setup, that's the reasoning for wanting to do it in the attic. I'm just open to finding a way to maybe make it cooler so the plants can survive, and if it's not possible then I will build a grow box and keep it in the back of out 6 x 4 closet.

got any new pics man?update
