Seeds came, and rather stealthy. Like my friends who get stuffed animals from China. I am running both Flourescent 15W cool (indoor plant growth/aquarium recommended), and 60W indoor sunlight bulb. One of each for the moment, and one more of each from the other 6 seeds germinate tomorrow.

I used a miricle grow for the first 4, and will use regular potting soil for the rest.

The temperature and humidity has not risen like I thought it would, but is sitting at about 77F and 60% humidity. It has only been on a few hours.

Thegermanation process was a real success. Wet paper towels with distilled water, and a dvd case in the cabinet. I did these (pictured) for 48 hours, and the other six, I will do 24.

I have set the timer to 18 on and 6 off, but am thinking of doing 20 on 4 off. Any advice?

Any more reccomendations and hints would be great.

I am getting a small fan in a few days to strengthen the seedlings, and am watering using only distilled or rainwater.

I just pray for 9 women and one male

I will continue to post pictures and updates, so this may be a day by day guide for future growers.

From start to finish, buying everything, and seeds, I have close to 150 invested. Thats it. I was suprised.

Enjoy the pics, let me know your thoughts.


Will this closet support 10 plants??

Not reccomended for those living with parents, or nosey roomates, nor for renters. I own my [place, no worries there.


************ I also bought a lock for the bedroom, its my "roomates room" If police do enter my home for any reason, that room is my "roomates," of which I don't own the keys, and as a landlord, A warrent must be issued to search It!!!*************

ur setup is sure lookin ghetto fabulous there. wuts up with the close hangers for the light cant u find any rope or chains? and u would be better off using black n white plastic instead of that tin foil u got there. and for that many plants ur gonna need more light, either a whole lotta cfl's or a small hid. check htgsupply.com they just opened a new retail store in nc. theyll have everything ull need. i would also suggest better soil, happy frog works great for me, well mixed with a little light warrior seems to give it an extra kick. wut kinda ferts u plan on usin?? looks like u got some reliable genes there, been wantin to try that aurora indica for quite some time now might do that soon

ill respect another macyver grower, but watch out for the tape - it may come loose. better something then nothing i say, just keep the cfl's real close to the little plants and be sure they wont fall and crush them. The lights should be close so the plants don’t grow tall reaching for them, cfl’s are effective within a few inches really. the fan will also help the stems from growing long and thin befor the primary lefs are set and it gets top heavy, shorter thicker stems are the goal. i start in small cups then move to 1 gal pots when they are done streaching so i can get them even and growing at the same level. it has ben a while since i started seeds under cfl's

All is well, I am starting to flower 45 days in. One is almost 2 feet, and two are over a foot. Trial and error has tought me many lessons, and I think they all would have died had I not had the advice. Thanks for all the posts!
