I was nervous at first, but my ladies are doing fine. I constructed a 4'X4'X5'9" grow room in my basement. The frame is constructed out of 1"X2" bords and it is cover with black/white poly. I have one 47" T5HO light shining on them. I have all blue spectrum bulbs in it for now but I will change bulbs at flowering.
I germinated my seeds using presoak and plant. After soaking all night (Approx 12 hours) I drained the water and left them in the containers covered in a warm dark place while I built there new home. I was amazed to find all 8 of the seeds that I germinated had already cracked when I returned 8 hours later to take them to plant. I planted them in 3 gallon pots filled with FoxFarms Ocean Forest Soil, and wrapped 4 of them (the 4 white widow seeds) in clear cling wrap, the other 4, I left uncovered, I don't even know what strain they are since they came as 20 free seeds from Amsterdammarijuanaseeds.com, anyway I placed a small space heater in the area to keep the temp at about 80-82F and waited nervously. At first I was itchy assed and checked to see if they had sprung about every 4 hours, which just disappointed me and I assumed they fucked me. I waited a total of 72 hours, and the little fuckers were 3cm tall when I checked them. SWEET, all but 1 had come through.
Now the Ladies are almost 2 weeks old (Dec 9) and all of them are growing good. The white widow(all) is has sprouted 5 fingers and is about 15 cm tall. The other four are not far behind them.
I am about ready to begin using my veg fertilizer on them. I have FF Grow Big, but I want to research to make sure I get the Ph correct. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading my ramblings. I am just excited about this first grow and don't want to fuck it up.
