Day 1.Rigged up a cardboard just to get started,building the grow box soon.
Seeds have Been planted in organic potting soil and i even found some random ladies growing outside in the garden where we usually chill out and smoke,they look about 1 week old, so i decided to transplant them aswell .at the end of the day they showed no signs of stress .
Day 4.The Young ladies have emerged & no signs of stress at all on the older ladies.
Day8.So now i have a small grow box built and the Plants are doing well.
