thanks for that reply! this gives me a little more confidence that I can make it work!
so the seeds sprouted this past weekend and 4/5 actually sprouted.
unfortunately, one grew into a light and...you know what happened.
I am down to 3 plants.
Last night was the first night of 12/12.
I have only halfway built the box... for now, its just upside down, sitting on the floor with the plants under it. I hopefully will build more by the end of the week but it may not be until next week. it's not too big of a deal right now since I can grow all 3 under 2 cfl's so no heat, and no smell yet either.
