today my friend gave me his bag of seeds that he had been saving for a while. There were about 130 seeds in the bag. i took out 9 white seeds because ive heard that white seeds are usually female. i took the seeds, put them in a paper towel, then put the paper towel on a small plate. Then i put water on the paper towels. Now i guess i have to just sit, wait, and smoke some doob.:blsmoke:

thats only 8 seeds btw.

but yea you are doing it fine, just put the seeds somewhere warm.
dont use bottled water to water plants...go buy distilled water, or melted snow works.

also go buy cfl lights ( spiral bubs) look for 100 watt or more. these light are fairly cheap

Yeah, let the water sit for a day. Get some cfl's too! About $10.00 a piece. If what you have is just a basic shop light, its worthless.

the lights i am using are originally black lights but i went to the local ace hardware store and bought the lights that fit in them.. do you think those will work?

Read the bulbs, if they are T-5 HO's yr good, but I kinda doubt they are. Again, get the cfl's Or for about $65.00 buy a grow light, like at the link I sent you before.

Hey man check out this page and look at the threads to the top. https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/

You are asking a lot of basic questions that you could find here.

But to answer your question. Wait till your plants are about 12-16 inches tall to put them on the 12/12 timer (flowering). They may almost triple in size when everything is all said and done. Godd luck my friend. O and for futur notice, the brown seeds with darker brown spots on them are probably the best to use. They are pretty much ready to go and were fully developed seeds.

maaaaaann..u should be coo wit the clear cups as long as u got holes in the bottom to drain the water...madd ppl i kno start seedlings in clear cups, styrofoam or colored dixie cups until they believe it has a good root structure..plus its easy to transplant...I say just leave it alone bcuz the more u play wit it/move it around the less it will grow

what type of soil r u using?

spittin 4 cash,
this time, i have to disagree wit you... If he waits too long to transplant them and the roots reach the outside of the dirt... light penetrating the clear cup will kill the roots... roots only need water, oxygen and darkness... light is bad for roots... a stirofoam cup would be better than a clear cup.. even the red party cup would work... jus not a clear cup
