Hey really first post here..now that I been looking at this sight im not really afraid to ask questions cause from the looks of it theres alot of first time growers out there with lots of questions..so i wont take shit personal...
So it all just started out with a couple of seeds sitting in the bottom of a bag and said..shit I'll try to see if I can get a plant or 2 going...well I took the seeds and stuck them between 2 wet paper towels..I really forgot them for a few days up in the pantry..when I finnaly looked all 6 seeds were sprouting...I wasnt prepared what to do next...so I just bought a couple of flower pots..nothing big..im not even sure what size...maybe a gallon each or so...well with the weather being cool here in florida I figured i'd put them under a dual 4 foot flouresent lamp..that worked pretty good...it all started on Nov 30th that i planted them...they grew pretty good in plain ol' potting soil..not that miracle grow crap...some other crap im sure...didnt feed them but plain old water for about the first 3 weeks...then I added another dual 4 foot flouresent shop light and switched the bulbs to 2 5500k and 2 plant 2500k bulbs..they been doing pretty good I think so far..its been about 5 weeks and 3 days since planting...I was on a 18 on and 8 off light timer...today I switched to 12 on and 12 off...I been using miracle grow plant food for the last 2 weeks and doesnt seem to be burning them from what I see...I add 1 teaspoon to 1 gallon...im going to switch to a lower nitrogen soulotion next feeding...From what I can tell..correct me if im wrong..but it looks like I have all females..can I be so lucky?? My questions are...first..can I use these 4-4 foot flouresent bulbs still? and I really dont want to switch the plants out of these pots..I assume they still will grow..not so big I would guess...this is just a stepping stone for me to see if I enjoy growing..which I do...take a look and let me know what you guys think..these are all from today..5 weeks 3 days..thanks!
