Intro
About 5 days ago, I decided to germinate (paper towel) some bagseed I collected from a quarter of regs. Half the seeds collected are garbage, but I felt I'd be lucky to have any seeds that I'd even put in the time to germinate. Of the 5 seeds I've started, 2 have taproots. One about a half inch long now, and the other about a quarter of an inch. So, here's to hoping at least one is female.
I know I'm not exactly getting the best start using bagseed, and to make things even more difficult, I'm doing a PC case grow. I need to be stealth, as I have a landlord. I know everything that can be said about both ( hermie seeds, all the effort for an eigth, etc ) but I'm still going to try it, and I'm going to put as much as I can into it. This is really a trial run to see if I can actually harvest anything at all - I know it's not rocket science, but I've never grown anything in my life at all, save for a little unknown plant in kindergarten. I happened to grow the tallest plant in the classroom though. I'm also doing this on a budget, I'll put the money into soil and nutes, but everything else I'm going to try and spend as little as possible. The computer case is free, as I have some old ones. I already bought the FFOF. I'll buy an emergency blanket to line the PC case. I'll buy two CFL's, I'm not sure what the price is for those, I should have fans for intake and exhaust.
Info
Strain? Unknown bagseed
Indica/Sativa? Unknown.
Veg or Flower? Seedling
Indoor or Outdoor? Indoor
Soil or Hydro? Soil
If soil, what is in your mix? FFOF. Will get FF nutes
If soil, what pot size? Not sure yet, will probably be something really small.
Okay, so I medicated... for the last two days. Some really excellent nugs that are a bright, but dark shade of green I've never in my life seen before. Apparently, I forgot to post this. So - after reading DFW-Guy's grow journal, I've decided that I'm likely going to out grow a PC case, and I'll have to transfer my setup later. I'm still decided if I should ScrOG or LST. I'll be topping each of my plants (2) twice, each.
So - where I'm at right now. I put my seed in a cup of straight FFOF. I had to get the seedling in something, it'd been showing taproot for a couple of days before I got it in dirt. And when digging around in the cup, I moved the seedling around a bit, so I repositioned it. I may have also overwatered the soil, so I'm going to leave it alone for a bit. It's sitting out in the sun right now, until I go and get a CFL and some other stuff for the time being. I will be buying stuff as I need it, which sucks, but budget is the keyword.
Thanks guys. Pics to come, if I get anything relevant to take a picture of. Also, I have a lot more seeds that could sprout, maybe. So if I fail with these two, I'll keep trying and update accordingly.
