between wet paper kitchen towel in a plastic container with a lid on, i wait till the seed pops and has 5- 10 mils sticking out then pot up with a little soil or coco covering it and water well.

looking good mate, why you feeding bloom.... i wait til they start showing proper flowers,,,,. looks good on it though..

I figured the bloom would get the ball rolling faster and i think this will be my last soil grow so ive got these biobizz nutes to use up lol. Going for strong nutes too as i didnt see any burn with those nutes in my other grow. I think il find out the limits of an mj plant with this one........

Dude this thread is awesome! I just started my 3rd grow and due to space conditions this time my tents came down and im doing a rubbermaid grow. not that theres anything wrong with it. actually, im loving it so far haha. I just have a 10 gallon on its side with 5 23w and 1 40w 2700k cfl's, the top half has security blanket wrapped around and on the lip. theres a 45 cfm pc fan at the bottom for intake and a 120 cfm pc fan at the top for exhaust. its in my closet and temps with lights on are 80-82 and like 70 when theres off....Anyway, i didnt feel like making another container for veg so i just have it on a 12/12 cycle. Every thing i put in here will be the same strain of bag seed, because im sure there will be many in and out. haha...the medium is mg organic and for nutes i use mg for veg and i have the canna line for flower with the booster (3 part gimmic) ive had some problems so far with heavy yellowing after about 3 weeks (i wasnt feeding them for the first 3 weeks because i was sexing them) so now i have 3 females in there, 1 is doing great it took to the transplant and topping no problem, has a few pistils sticking out and is now growing what appears to be 2 khola's. The others arnt as great, 1 was over waterd on my part and the other is still in a bit of shock im guess...in my vegetable closet i snuck in 2 ladies that are starting there 3rd node's and i have 4 seedlings in yogurt cups in there which im not sure about the sex....once i find some batteries for my piece of shit camera ill get some picks

hello mate, sounds like a neat little system, you say you didnt feed them for 3 weeks cause you were sexing them? how come, are they supposed to show earlier? have you only just started with this grow?

ok guys heres a few pics of what im using...and then a few pics of some seedlings and another little plant i had with my veggies...


and the last pics were taken right when the lights went out after i transplanted them into some 1 gallon containers and added another one in a butter container....the gallon pots you see in here are old potato salad jugs, and there perfect. from now on im going to keep them in there and do seeds start to finish. i might start seedlings in something small like yogurt cups before the gallon pots, but nothing bigger then that...let me know what you think bud

thanks man, the lights are like 12" from the lights i guess, i know they could be a little closer. when i put seeds in the box i stack a few books up to get them like 2" from the cup but there starting to flower and stretch so i moved them down, and right now i only have the red cfl's in there because it helps them to not stretch as much, and once there tied down i'll put a 40w blue light in because i think it will help with the growth of the buds an not have to worry about them getting to close to the lights...thanks for your input though man, stay tuned

Its the other way round mate the blue cfl's are for veg and keeps them small with close node spacin then the red are for flower, i keep my plants between 3-4" from 2x45w blue cfls all the way till i bring my hps in, on my last grow my plant was like 12" tall after 6weeks of veg but with like 13 sets of nodes witch means like 26 bud sites i ended up with 8 1/2 oz dry weight of 1 plant!
If i was you i'd get the blue cfls in there now get your plants raised so there like a few inch's away and they should start bushin out mate and not grow taller at all really keep lowerin them as they do but keep close then bring in the red 1's when you flower just my 2 pence bro hope it helps

Peace
