It's amazing how similar everyone's goal is but how many different variables exist is growing this damn plant that is so desirable! I currently have two different types of plants under way for my first grow ever. My Mazar which is 3 weeks old give or take a few days including sprouting the seed (germination) started with 12 and have 4 left of which 1 will probly make it. It's sad, funny and true at the same time. I started out by germinating them in between paper towels then placed them in rock wool when the tap root was aprox 1/4" in a heated "germination station" I kept covered for several days and when I finally decided to... removed the blanket that kept it from any light they seemed pretty stretched out. I was unsure how to work with the rock wool and tore most of it off around the edges before transplanting in Miracle Grow seed starting soil and also used Thrive Alive B-1 which probly burned them or severely stunted there growth that's when I lost most of them, they kinda shriveled up and wilted..it was sad. The remaining Mazar I have now seem pretty small compared to other pics I see at 3 weeks! Anyway I figured I would be lucky if one made it so I germinated 5 Bubba Kush in rock wool and just when I saw the taproot appear from the bottom of the cube I placed them in Fox Farm Happy Frog Ocean Floor that I soaked in 6-7 PH water for 24hrs and now at this point I'm wondering if I should remove the 4 bulb T-5 fixture and replace it with a 400w MH? oh I also have a fan blowing on them...

I didn't have much luck with a handful of seeds. I tried the MG Seed Starting, and I fully believe it burned my seedlings. They would sprout, and 2 days later would be crispy. I have a BB plant going that I germed in a cup of distilled water, sitting in my PC cabinet. After it sprouted I put it in a small Jiffy pot with FF Ocean Forest only, and then transplanted to a larger pot. Your t-5 should be fine for the early stages. My dispensary has about 25 clones under a t-5 fixture. I didnt have a fan blowing on it, was worried it would dry out the soil. Also watch overwatering, I did that to a couple of seedlings.
look at how much you learned already!! Im not trying to be funny at all...I learn from every mistake...its a process. keep the T5 on it...let it go to fruition....Then next time ramp up the lights if you want....I recomend HID if you can....if not then get a 8 tube T5...they kick ass.
How did this grow turn out?
