PS..when should my seeds start to sprout in a wet paper towel??
Click to expand...
It has taken me anywhere from 1 to 3 days to germinate a seed with the paper-towel method. I think someone already said it, but it has helped me if I put some water in a cup and just let the seed soak in it overnight before putting it in the paper-towel. Often, the seed will be sprouted within a few hours of putting it in water, but nonetheless, the integument will definitely be softened up and will open easier in paper towel after soaking.

Good luck with your grow and keep us posted!! :peace:

which lighting you talking about the HID or the cfl's? If you'll notice farther through the grow my lighting and setup changes. But for the CFL setup all together with the bulbs and reflectors it was around $35. I got the more expensive cfl's you could prolly do it for $25 but its up to you.

As for the seeds give them some time mine took about 3-5 days soon as you see a white stem sticking out about 2mm put it in soil. Give it time. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions..

dude you cant grow with those bulbs. THe seeds would sprout out of the dirt with no light at all there not helping at all there just making the soil hot and dried out.

No. You're better off putting them in a window during the day until you get the CFLs. Your sprouts will likely get burnt with an incandescent so close to them.

whats the average temp outside during the mid day? and temp on your plant? is it still sunny, or cloudy, or? I would really go get some cfls asap, raise the incandescent if you plan to continue using it. But if there is still sufficient amounts of light outside for atleast the majority of the day putting in front of a decent size window would be a better idea.
