    Too Soon for Lights? First Grow, Please Help!

    Yes, I did! I also labeled the strain and date they were planted. They don't need light yet, I know, but will having it on hurt them? I was just thinking about seeds planted outdoors, and generally they get sun, right? The seeds grow up under the soil to reach the sun. I thought it might...

    Too Soon for Lights? First Grow, Please Help!

    Both of my seeds cracked last night so I put them in pre-moistened pro-mix. About 1/2 an inch deep, tap root up on one, down on the other. I have two 6500k CFLs with 5.5 inch reflectors and put them over each pot. (about 2-3 inches from the soil surface.) Is this OK? Should I have left them in...

    Using CFLs for Seedlings?

    I'm planning on switching to 400w MH for vegging and 400w HPS for flower. But I won't be getting those till the end of the month so I thought I would use CFLs in the meantime to help things along. Thanks for all the advice, guys! :) Oh, and I'd like as much yield as possible, obviously... But...

    Can I Use This Soil to Start Off My Seeds In?

    No fertilizer, as far as I can tell. It says "A balanced mixture of soil, sphagnum peat and perlite making the ideal growing medium for starting seeds." Thanks for the help btw!

    Newbie Seed Question

    I got mine from Nirvana. They came fast with no problem and the package just looks like a letter sent from a friend. It's totally stealth. I'll be ordering from them again for sure. So yeah, I think it's safe! Just be careful to always check a place out before you order, I guess.

    Using CFLs for Seedlings?

    My two seeds are currently germing, but I'm planning on planting them in a soil-less medium under 2 6500k, 1600 lumen CFLs w/ 5.5 inch reflectors. Will one per seedling be enough or should I be adding some more into the mix? Will they even sprout with only 2? I bought 6 bulbs just in case. :D

    I'm debating between coco and soil right now. Organic soil obviously, but I can't get fox farm in Canada. I have Technaflora nutrients. And yeah I didn't realize I needed to match the sizes because I'm stupid.. Should I be getting a 6" inline instead?
