<I cannot upload pics, what do I need to do? (Of course I am using a proxy..)

Hello all. I decided to put some seeds, which I culled from some bags of weed that I bought earlier in the summer, into some cheap potting soil I bought from the 99 cents store. I never thought they would grow. I placed them in my window and didn't give them much thought.. To my surprise many of the 14 seeds sprouted within 24 hours. It is day 14 now and I have 11 baby plants with a new one that just appeared yesterday. Now I need to take the next step and actually pay attention to them! I simply need some advice on what to do next. I intend to grow organically as hydro is beyond what I want to commit to. I expect them all to be males, but I want to see it out until the sex is certain. I have yet to buy any indoor lighting. Today I purchased some Miracle-Gro Potting Mix (a picture of the nutrients is attached) hoping the nitrogen etc. content is good for the next stage. My question is this: how do I go about successfully completing the next stage? I really have been overwhelmed with all of the information of indoor Cannabis growing. I have a book, but I would really appreciate some of you veterans taking a look at my pics and advise me on what you see. I have ample room and security to construct a fairly adequate grow room.. TIA!-total newbie

Welcome to RIU! :bigjoint:

You won't need nutrients for about 3-4 weeks, just water them every other/3 days...or you could mist them every day - I'm just starting my 2nd grow and all the info I found from here basically stopped me killing my first plants (which actually made it to the end with a harvest!) - some people on here CAN get annoyed with simple questions, so if you have a question read the "Grow FAQ" to see if you can get an answer before you ask people on here...

Also I personally recommend using CFLS for your first go - some people slam them into the ground over more powerful HID/MH systems, but hell - it worked for me and I knew naff all about plants/gardening when I started! Search Youtube for videos, Mr Green (I Grow Chronic) and Stoned Free are good vids (Stoned free shows you all the basic stages and it helped me before I found this place!)

GOOD LUCK AND WELCOME DUDE! :weed:

Thanks Bob, I guess I was relying on my pics for any input, so my question was fairly general without them :( Using a proxy apparently won't allow the "Marijuana pics" button to appear.. I appreciate your post however..
