    Disaster struck

    Yes it is my first grow and it has been a learning experience to say the least. We are very low tech with our set up. We re-started 2 seeds, got a new LED grow light that has made a significant difference in the plants and have added a small fan. The plants are in coffee cans with dirt we got...

    Disaster struck

    Yes, I've heard that too. But this time we got smart and put the girls in our spare bedroom, door shut!! Actually we have much better set up now that way - got a good grow light - LED and a small fan. We lost the other one, but the 2 we re-started are doing very well. Perhaps we are on our...

    Remud you are the best!!:thumb: That is a good suggestion for us to try. We also got a new LED grow light today and just installed it. We had an old florescent grow light, so maybe this one will have a better spectrum on it. Thanks for the encouragement, it is really needed about now. :thanks:

    Thanks redmud. I'll give that a try. Looking at "hillary" this morning, she doesn't seem to be changing at all. She is about 3.5 inches tall and still has only 3 leaves. I am wondering if she was traumatized by the cat attack and quit growing. I tell you getting started is hard especially...

    Re: Disaster srtuck I am growing Trainwreck and glad you asked. I have a question and maybe you will know the answer - before our little "problem" the plants were about 2 to 3 inches tall and had 2 pairs of leaves on the top. Do you know if having a long, though fairly fat stem with just...

    Disaster struck

    Well, our 3 girls came up and were doing fine they were about 2 inches tall. But last night our kitten got into our grow box. I got him out in time to save one plant. So then I started 2 new seeds immediately and not long after they were soaking in the cup one of the cats got on the counter...

    Thanks! This morning the other 2 girls made their appearance we are off and running. :thumb: Haven't done a journal. I'm not really good at keeping up like that. But do enjoy what others have done. I really like the 420 Community.

    Thanks for the welcome. Boy everyone has been so nice here.:hugs: I am growing Trainwreck - autoflowering, fem. They said it was easy for beginners, so I'm taking their word for it. :thumb: I am starting with 3 seeds, in case I screw up. But have the intentions of only growing a few at a...

    A real newbie

    Yes I can imagine it would be like "being a kid in a candy store." I have found a lot of information to the point of info overload! I am trying to grow similar to how we grow our vegetables. Using soil from our chicken run mixed with peat moss (2 to 1 ratio) and then added some composted...

    I'll probably embarrass myself, but I have 3 coffee cans with one sprouted seed in each in a clear plastic container with a grow light. Just got them planted today. I got autoflower, fem seeds which I understand is good for beginners. Here's hoping!!! :)

    I just got my seeds through Crop King. I am new to growing my own. It's kind of exciting, but scary, don't want to screw up $130 of seeds. :) I've been a toker since 1973 and enjoy it even more now that I am older. My bucket list is to be able to go to the Pot Store and buy what I want when...
