Bag seeds. Step one I suggest you save yourself some heartache and pay for a fresh seed from a very trusted cultivator for strongest results. And actual true strain information ..... Because I can almost bet you didn't store those seeds properly over the years

3 gal bucket with soil . Go talk to your local hydro store for soil.

250 to 400w hps light.

Or led quantum boards are hot right now.

I have and use 10+ year old bubba kush beans I got from a sack, stored in a pill bottle. Still germing 9/10. People have traded me for some of those.

Make soil with equal parts moss, perlite, castings and 1-3 cups of dry ferts/amendment's per cu ft/7.5ga.

Glad your seeds worked out for you. It's not the case everytime

This is a 7 part series on youtube and is well worth your time.

The guy is a bit of a putz if you follow him, but this series is good. Don't worry about the flushing stage, you won't need that as long as you throttle back the nutes.

But this system is a very good starting point. It works for general soil with synthetics. Once you do it once, change things up to suit your environment.
