Hi fellow tokers,
After finding some seeds in a recently aquired bag I decided to see if they would germinate using the damp tissue method which to my surprise was successful!
So I got myself some little pots and planted them in some soil I've had in pots in the garden and put them under a cfl which got them out of the ground.
Now here is the problem, after about 4 days my seedlings were about 3 inches tall! I knew something wasnt right with this So I started stalking the forums for tips and tricks and come to conclusion it was inadequate lighting and not having a fan!
So off I pop for another light fitting and a fan! I also read that I should repot and bury the stem abit which I have done also adding some compost to the soil.
So now I've started to construct my box which is 2'×3'×5'?
My seedlings are in a closet in a very crude setup for the time being using foil as a reflector.
After a couple of sleepless nights reading up and hitting contradicting posts I thought it was about time I asked the pro's, so please go easy on me guys as I really don't have a clue but would really like to get into this as a hobby so to speak but without breaking the bank!
So any advice or constructive criticism is more than welcome.
Thanks.
