you will need a pot that is at least 12" wide and 12" deep to achieve anything. I would try to find at least a 3 gallon pot, most of us here use 5 gallon pots or buckets.

wow, depending on the size you want your plants, you dont need a 5 gal bucket.

well great news checked my plants and one is jussst barley breaking the soil i think by morning i may have a sprout, now for the bad news, still no other seeds have germinated, im starting to get a little impatient, hard to believe only 2 good seeds outta 10 but i guess i CAN happen.. I started 3 seperate seeds in a different container, i promised my self i wouldnt disturb either one for at least 48 hrs. hopefully then something happens...

if you use disstilled water at room temp that should give you a better chance of getting seeds to germinate
If you ae getting so little germination, either you are doing it wrong or the seeds you are using are trash. No offense.
Get two paper plates, put a paper towel on each side, dampen them, put seeds on one side. put plates together. Make sure towels stay damp. Wait two days.
I have a pretty good success rate like that.

its true some of the seeds could be garbage, its all bagseed, however, theres gotta be at least 15 different kinds of seeds from different bags, i honestly doubt im doing it WRONG. i do have them in a damp paper towel in a ziplock bag on my fridge maybe im just unlucky.

YEAH YEAH YEAH... I just got my copy of Gnome's book's:Buds For Less!!!! Wooooo I imagine wit textile help+ everyone here, theres no way ima fuck up. i mean my soil and water ph is right around 6.5 ive got enough light lumens/per sq. ft, I really hope this works because im sooo sick of shady people and paying $300/oz.
Side note: Ive sorta stumbled across a schwag dealer who hooks it up. 1/4oz $20. So my thought processes is... Start smoking the cheep buds now, in effort to A) save money to buy better ferts, soils. but B) get my system adjusted to crappy buds so when i get my first crop. (Hopefully nicer buds than swag) it'll rock my socks off
sorry for lac of pics but until i get a better cam my cpu cam will hafa do

well im running about 76 degrees right now inside the box. believe it or not the wires to the fan and lights dont get hot!!! All my connections run to my power surge on top of the cabinet. I dont think it'll start a fire because only covered wire is touching cardboard. the box has been on 4 days straight, including a day test run and i see no hot spots or danger or my box lighting fire. im eventually gonna tape or velcro it to the wall outta the way once i get some plants flowering in the top part so i can put a top on. Id say a cardboard growbox would be ok as long as you're intelligent about where all the electrical connections are

Another planted sprouted today that gives me 2 with leaves, another 2 in pots should be breaking soon, on the advice of SeeMoreBuds I gave both plants that have sprouted 2 TABLESPOONS of water to just keep the roots moist
Pics for IOWN and others curious about how the lights are i got 6 running now 12 more to add for the top half of my box
