Don't knock the miracle grow. Haha! I use it. Granted, it's not the best for MJ, but it's deff better than nothing. Just be really careful not to over feed. Miracle Grow is really easy to burn them with. I mix about half a tsp with a 2 liter of water and use it every third watering. I use the tomato formula though.

Gonna need some more details, man. What specifically are you asking? Are you talking about germination to sprout time?

yes, sorry and if i could remember it was some arizona or something like that. but yes id appreciate if i knew the germ. to sprout time i think i made the mistake of planting two seeds in one pot-

It took about 4 days for my first plant to sprout, and the last followed up about 3 days after that. Hope that helps some man. How long have yours been in dirt? Ive heard of it taking up to 2 weeks for them to poke through though, so don't get discouraged. Patience will pay off.

Hey, and thanks for replying. I believe my plant has been in dirt for about a week now, i'm not sure what kind of soil it was in because it was a friends. But i know that there was a high grade plant grown in the pot previously that died eventually so i ripped it out and began to plant the other seeds that im referring to now, its not that im getting discouraged, but just a little impatient to know whether i dig the seeds out and look, keep with the cycle, or just start a whole new grow----smokegood420

Whatever you do DO NOT dig them up. If they are healthy, and just a little slow to sprout, you will ruin them. Just wait it out and see what happens. I don't know about this for sure, but the fact that you're using used soil may be contributing to the slow sprout. Are they indoor or outdoor? Do you have them under lights? What kind of container are they in?

ehh, kind too late for the digging up. sorry i dug it up and cleaned it out :( damn.... but maybe the soil may have something to do with it. but yes, it is an indoor plant and i have the lights on it about an inch away from the pot and the pot is pretty standard. you know the orange small ones...but as for new soil i'm thinking about using miracle grow? any suggestions

Since you dug them up, how do they look? Did they look like they were still alive? There is a really good thread on here about using MG somewhere. I'd run it through the search bar and see what you come up with. I've heard a lot of people say that it had gnats in it though so just make sure where ever you buy it from keeps it stored indoors.

yeah im actually going to pick some up from a buddy tomorrow, but i got more seeds to start a new grow but when i dug it up I honestly couldnt even find the seed. however, i noticed that the drainage hole at the bottom was clogged with soil. Does that play a bad role or?

yeah so, i mean you think i should start all over in the same pot or use a plastic cup to start off with. Most vids i see on youtube usually start off with them but i dont think it really matters.

a plastic cup will work as well, do you have any photos of your plant of early state or now by any chance? ahah i need a little encouragement to get started again haha-smokegood420

I don't have a camera. :( I wish I did though. The only one I have is on my cell. I'd have to send the pics to facebook to save them to my computer, and I don't want pics of my babies on FB. LOL. And as far as plastic, you want to use something that won't let light through. Roots need complete darkness to develope correctly.

hmm..that sounds about right because i think i placed my light a little too close i put it on the rim of the pot, and everytime i would check the plant in the morning it always looked dried out and lacked of water.

What kind of light was it? And I got you a pic. Hang on a sec while I figure out how to post it. LOL. I had to send it to FB, save it, then delete it as fast as I could. :D
