Hi all,
I am new to Rollitup. I recently got the sudden urge to germinate a handfull of seedlings that were in my stashbox. Seeds are from different buds that i have smoked, and as i broke up the buds i saved the few seeds that i thought were worth keeping. When i went to germinate them i just simply placed them in a wet paper towel and put them on a plate. A few days later i had sprouts and then i thought to myself.....hmmmmm...... im gonna need to plant these. So i decided to just grab some soil from my girlfriends flower pot which had a poor excuse of a plant in it anyways. I used a flower pot about the size of my whole fist and then some. I have a pic that i will list below. The plants came up rather quick i noticed. It came to me that the soil that they were in would suffice for the short time that they would be in there but i then realized that there was probably a shortage of some key ingrediants.......Nutrients. From what i have read, its seems that the seedlings have only about 4 to 7 days of their own food and after that they need good soil. I was unsure if it would be better to wait and transplant them when they got a little older or just do it now becuase they are so young. I had a lot to think about because they were going to entangle themselves in there roots if i waited to long. So i decided to get some soil from the local store. The soil of choice was on sale, good old miracle grow soil for flowering plants. Ahhhh i thought to myself, and it was on sale (bonus). I got some cups from the kitchen section because they were less pricey and they have christmas stuff on them. So its kinda like i get the feeling of Ho Ho Ho merry christmas, pot plants to the good girls and boys kinda feeling. I also picked up some root hormone incase i decided that i wanted to clone any down the road, and it was the last one they had anyways which by they way was also on sale. So i went home and prepped the cups by cutting holes and slits in the bottom with a knife. After cutting the holes and filling with the soil i carefully (repeat) carefully took the plants from the soil after gently removing it from the pot and placed each one in there own cup, with the exception of a few because i had less cups than plants. The few that i put more than one plant in were used with one good plant and the few that i fealt would be least likely to live because of their physical condition and appearance. The plants will be grown inside my crib. I dont know how many will be female as most ppl dont im sure, but i have about 19 started. I will put some pics of them in the new cups as well. My next buy will be a light setup. I am thinking about getting a garage style flourescent fixture with some growing type bulbs that i can pickup from the store. Any tips on lighting would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx for reading my first entry!
Hope i hear from some of u.
Check the pics.
