my SEEDLINGS on the desk i added one more its a bagseed and its the one with pencil in it ive already come up with a name i think "buddah"(if it comes up good that is) cus its been like forever like three good weeks it was this enormous!!!, fat ass!!!, chunky seed!!!! i put in to germ and just cracked today so im hopin for a big fat little indica lol i know it prob doesnt matter what size they are but im pretty stoked so dont ruin it!! lol as for the others no luck yet hopfully will sprout when this one takes off others are delayed due to the fact that i put them in wrong lmao this one was done right! =0 lol

and your prob thinking what the fuck is there a fishing tank in the pics below weeeeelll thats where these four seedlings are goin once they pop!(in the bottom i mean, not the actualy tank lol) yea its like 4ft wide 2.2ft high inside and 13inch deep with cutout in the back for ventalation. also sweet salt water once i get a chance lmao! im getting tomorrow so i will begin planning if you have any suggestions for this ahead of time please let me know! thanks.

what i intend to use it for is veg then the closet area will be the 400watt hps hangin for 1-2 plants flowering at a time =) perfect for personal use which i only intend to do all this for maybe smoke out good friends. i also find that it calms me ive had anger managment classes in the past and this is my substitute then the pills they think im takin =) thats kinda the idea behind all this. i dont like the pills they make me take. =(

They will be good in that cupboard for a while,you will need some ventilation,maybe a cpu fan or 2 ,1 for an exhaust and 1 for air intake.

what kind of ventilation are u goin to be using for ur grow cubboard?
well what i plan on doin is putting another one of those big ass fans like the white one i already have and sticking it into the back of this tanks bottom area there is a slot that will prob fit it just perfect so that will be blowing fresh air and im going to cut like 6x6in on both bottom sides just exhaust vents and drilling them in spraying them brown so its super fresh!! =) lmao maybe mini fans at bottom of ea exhaust blowing out. i think its going to be good! =) or im hoping lol

hey im not tryin to talk shit but your plant looks awfully small for 22 days. All of my plants were at least 7-8 inches at three weeks and i was just using a t-8

yes indeed she looks small as i stated earlier in this journal ive seen plants two weeks in that are biggr then this. ive thought about tossing and just starting fresh but the thought of her being big and having potential later in her life bugs me and keeps me from killing her so ima keep her and see how it goes =). as for nutes i made the mistake of giving them way early on like maybe firs week but thats it cus i found out its bad so it may have stunned her growth by quite some time =( but since then i havent added any just water im going to wait it out a week or two more to add, but its MG soil like said earlier on which contains alot of natural nutes especially when watered like time release capsulses and shit so i think its from that. im kinda drying her out tomorrow im goin to water have not waterd since sun cus she was overwatered and it seems like shes gaining some. =) as for other little sprouting i am keeping watch hopefully will turn out better then first plant. this is all trial and error its freagin bagseed for all i care its more learning then actually growing right now. im getting comfortable with myself to grow before i just go blowing money on some good seeds so keep watch maybe i can turn this around and ill have alot better grow soon! =) well its 430 in the am and ive gotta go build a freakin house so ill post pics lata! Peace and thanks for yalls input!!

you can really top after you have like 3 sets of leaves or so, I topped mine at the third set(4-5 inches) and they are all like 9 inches now and it didnt even phase them whatsoever.
