Kingc, here's what i did, but there are better ways. i saved a paper egg box.(1 doz) and put organic pro grow, and vermiculite 20%. thoroughly wet the medium, and let it rest 24 hours. after that, I just put the seeds in 1/8" . closed the lid, and put a layer of plastic wrap around it. it took five days for them to sprout, but ALL seeds sprouted. after 1 week ii soaked the medium, and the roots released without a problem. then it was to the 16 ounce cups.

another way is the old tried and true paper towel, and sandwich baggy. usually get roots in 24-36 hours with this method, but if you don't catch them in time, the roots will hang on the paper .

or soak them for 24 hours in h2o, and then plant.

it's a seed .... give it water, and love, and with a little luck it'll grow.
as for lights, 2 cfls per, in a y splitter, and a makeshift hood, I had some white aluminum gutter material laying around so I used that. if you search around, you'll find a shit-ton of ideas.lights are 1-2 inches away, with a pc fan blowing directly on them at all times. 24/0 with the lights, for 26 days. then 12/12; hope that helps man, and good luck with the ladies.

slinger36s, thanks for the call on that one.... still no pistils on those two... but no male flower either.
i checked your progress, great job bro.!! i'm on it.

plants are doing well. lady 1 is 15" tall and #2 is 13" tall. i'd load pics but this site won't let me. did some lst on them.
I picked up a 400w mh/hps switch/convertable ballast, made a hood with a fan ,bought a 400w hps bulb, and am waiting for my remote cord ( 2more days)
then these girls are gettin' what they got comming.

They are 45 days old, though they've been on 12/12 for 12 days.

my ph is a bit high, and I am looking into aluminum sulfate to lower the ph .
have any of you used this method?
if not, does anyone have any tips on lowering the ph, besides changing medium all together? The water I use has a ph of 7 but the ph meter is reading 7.8
do I even need to worry at this point?

any help would be awsome, and appreciated
.

Looks good dude. I am doing my first indoor cfl grow too, wondering what are you feeding em? my oldest plant is 18days old today..how many nodes does those lil girlies have? My oldest plant at 18days old has 4 nodes with the 5th one now showing. Just excited about my first grow.:weed:

Good luck with everything, looking forward to seeing the final product!:bigjoint:

maybe. I mix it up. maybe I'll drop a couple photos soon.

the buds are getting bigger every day. I just want to trim some, and try it. you know, just the lower buds that don't get alot of light. i mean shit, they're covered in trichs already.

does anyone here do that?
