obviously we had the foil convo, other then that not bad. Miracle grow and jiffy peat pellets are a bit frowned on but oh well, your not growing a garden, just a personal grow.

The learning will be more valuable then your harvest, no matter how much you produce.

I'm flying by the seat of my pants attempting to get everything together, it helps that you have the majority of it handled already. Good luck to ya bro!

edit + rep for startin a grow and not just talkin about it!

Subscribed. Good luck Optip13x! Whats your plan for those Auqa globes? I've never used em but I think those are better off for plants that like to stay wet all the time. Cannabis likes to dry out very well between waterings. Like i said i've never used em so maybe somebody else can chime in on that. Good luck to you.

aqua globes are for when i flower my plants, i wouldnt like to pour in water (might cause mold from splashes or w/e) so aqua globes feeds the roots straight up, and thank you.

i don't know if those a good idea man. search in the grow journals but those work by dripping water constantly whenever theres oxygen in your soil. your plants roots need oxygen. this is why so many new growers have problems with overwatering. they water and water and water their plants and the roots never get any oxygen. i'll see if i can find the post i read awhile ago. a guy left his plants with auqa globes in them for a week to go on vacation and when he got back they were all dead.

Yeah, they are in a plastic cup with a top and there i put in a papertowel. then added bout 2 tbls of water. i wrapped the cup with foil, put inside two shirts (rolled up) and put a warm mat on the bottom of my pillow, put the 2 shirt with the cup wrapped inside them on top of my pillow and then put 2 blankets ontop of the shirts.

i think its good enough, but correct me if im wrong.

see if you can get another half turn on those y sockets so that the side of all 4 bulbs is facing the floor. most of the light on cfls comes off the side because of the spiral design. those 2 that are currently pointing straight at the floor aren't doing much for you the way they are....i hope that made sense.

yes it did, thank you dude, also, i got good news, both my seeds cracked open but only a little of the white root came out. im going to leave them there till theres about half an inch of the tap root out. what i did was instead of puting purified water i put tap water (apperently has bacteria or nutrients) and bamb my seeds split open.
