Okay so to start this off I'll have you all know that I have been reading these forums religiously for the past week now, and finally decided to give it a shot myself. This is my first grow ever, I've done lots of reading on here and I'm pretty sure I have the basic concept down.
About two weeks ago I went off on a whim and threw together some stuff I had laying around the house in an attempt to grow something tasty. I have some organic soil stuff that you mix with dirt or you can, it says it has guano, worm castings and other stuff, and there are a lot of wood chips or something similar. Good stuff.
I went over to my buddy's house the other day to discover that he has tons of lights, I guess he used to work for a clinic. He sold me (three) 4 foot flouro rigs with a board across the tops to keep them together, with 5 blue spectrum tubes and a red one. That's basically all I have light-wise. I am also broke so purchasing anything whatsoever is not an option, thus making this a very experimental grow, with low expectations but still a little bit of hope.
My friend who sold me the lights also gave me quite a few supposed good quality seeds, although I have no idea what strain they are. I put them to germinate in a peat moss plastic germinator apparatus in attempts to maybe grow something about a week ago, still nothing. Meanwhile, two sprouts came up from a couple of seeds out of a previous sack that I had just thrown in the little pots.
At first they took very long to make any noticeable growth, but now they're speeding it up. I'd say they are about 4 days from sprouting. I also acquired 2 days ago what I was told to be a Master Kush clone. The idiot that owned it before me took 6 nodes of leaves off leaving it looking like a humiliated palm tree I transplanted it into a black pot (not sure what size, half gallon maybe) and have been spending lots of time with it ever since I got it. It is now developing little growth spots where all of the leaves got ripped off, as well as making significant progress growth wise on the top. I tied it down today, trying my hand at LST, hopefully all goes well. It is about 11 or 12 inches tall, I will post pictures once they're approved.
I am very curious as to why my seeds are taking forever to germinate. I know I'm a noob but I've tried to grow plenty of times, and every time I would get the germinating part down no problem, hell, they'd even sprout super fast if I threw them in dirt. I just never had the right conditions to carry out the whole plant growing process. I know the seeds aren't bad because they finally cracked yesterday, but they still won't grow. A week? I have a peat moss thing that I can open to check and it gave me a crack but no more grow.
I'm sorry if I'm talking your eyes out, I have a lot of beginner's curiosity lol...
By the way, I'm growing in my closet, there's a fan and I hung the three light rig from the bar that goes across the top for coat hangers. With shoelaces. Oh yeah. lol
