well, my germination was a success. I bought 20 seeds, dropped 9 ( 5 auto 4 fem ) in seedling dirt, dome on, flat on heating mat under a towel for 3 days then under the Veg8 on 25% power and BAM!
9 of 9 broke ground!

Awesome! 
Now be sure to take that dome off as you want strong, healthy seedlings and the dome will work against that.

Yep, dome came off when they went under the light. I cooked a couple seedlings last time, lesson learned. Two females in pots and the rest will be potted tomorrow, they just getting misted every 8 hrs.Awesome!

And a gentle breeze blowing across their tops will help promote a stronger stem. Careful, though. Too much and it'll feel like a hurricane to the sprouts.

Just a little update, the ladies are doing well. They look so good for a first timer. Started flowering 4/4/22
They look good period.
That's a fact Matt! They look wicked awesome! 
Getting there!
Getting there!
Welcome to 420 @Mattnatti!
I appreciate the honor that you're paying to your buddy and mentor.
Your plants look wonderful and if all you've been doing is giving them water then is this manure compost available retail? I'm a lazy grower and I'd like to try some of the "shit."

Thank you @Grand Daddy Black , I am privileged to be learning from him.Welcome to 420 @Mattnatti!

I am a lazy person so the just add water program has suited me perfectly and I could also suggest it as a great first grow for anyone.
Im using goat manure compost from his barn, it’s dried and dusty but still puts a nice burn in the nostrils is, saturating w/ water and mixing/prepping it up in an 27 gal tote really gets it hot. It will make an onion cry. It was very noticeable when the girl’s tap root hit the compost, she burned her tips, retreated then very quickly consumed the miracle grow soil building her root ball.
10 gal pots with the bottom 1/3 manure compost and top 2/3 miracle grow potting soil. He says the manure will last 3-4 grows before starting to lose its potency. I initially prepped ten 10 gal pots and brought home enough compost last week to do another ten pots. He says that when he’s gone I should use rabbit manure compost, it’s supposed to be the best but it’s hard to find for free. . I’ve found it for sale locally on Craigslist.
I look forward to seeing your “ just add water “ grow.
Rabbit manure is supposed to be one of the best (along with Llama poop (I think) according to @StoneOtter ). Rabbit is supposed to be mild enough that it doesn't require composting prior to use. Many rabbit farms raise them in cages over a worm bed, as the worms go crazy for that poop.
Almost makes me want to start raising some. Supposed to be good eating, too!

Speaking of which...
We're talking rabbit manure, not bear manure @Grand Daddy Black . Funny cartoon, though.
There was rabbit poop in the toon, Azi. It was on-topic!We're talking rabbit manure, not bear manure @Grand Daddy Black . Funny cartoon, though.
That's a brilliant idea to keep them over the worm farm! And delicious they be!
Yes, of course you're right. Again.There was rabbit poop in the toon, Azi. It was on-topic!
Columbus ohio here smoke onHello, I have lurked for a while and finally signed up. The forum is a great resource, thank you.
I’m 4 weeks flowering on my first grow. My first grow may seem unorthodox to some or most of the forum and I’ll break it down but first the background on why I’m growing.
My long time ( nearly 30yrs ) friend/medicine man told me last fall that he had stage 4 cancer and he wouldn’t be taking treatments. Being a long time trusted friend and grower from his early teens I took his encouragement to start a grow in my basement So I could sustain myself after he is gone. He has many years growing indoors, outdoors, greenhouses, hydroponic and a large hemp farm.
I’ve hesitated to post an intro and pics of my 3 ladies because I’m going on my friends wisdom and he’s an old school natural grower And he’s warned me about getting too wrapped up into the tech aspect growing.
He has me on a “ Just add water “ program.
5x5x7 tent
NextLight Mega Pro
4” in-line fan and carbon filter
portable AC unit installed for flowering, ducting cool air in averaging 71*F and 40%hum
10gal root pouch pot with bottom 1/3 goat manure compost and top 2/3 miracle grow potting mix
20 fem seeds from Crop Kings- 10 germinated in soil and 10 using CK wet paper towel method
3 survived my noob germination skills, all 3 were from soil. 1 Afghan kush and 2 Alien gorilla glue
i overwatered during veg stage and stunted them, got back on track and then under watered them during first week of flowering. Again, my noob skills.
The big girl ( Afghan Kush ) was stunted the most the other two were small enough that I didn’t underwater them as much. The big girl is recovering well and trying her best to make my first grow at least a small success. The larger of the AGG has started her top cola and it’s really starting to take shape the last 36hrs. No pics yet.
My pruning in veg with the over/under watering have prolly hurt my grow but my first attempt at a crude LST on the big girl has definitely opened more bud spots to good light and air. I’ll be doing this more on my next grows.
I now have a Veg room set up under the stairs for mother’s and clones. NextLight Veg Pro identifying as the sunshine in that room. 20 more seeds arrived today so I’ll start them in the morning after work.
sorry for the long post and thanks to those who made it this far.....puff puff pass!
On to the amateur porn.
