I germinated a few bag seeds I had saved up. Only got 4 of them to germ but I put 1 in a small pot with miracle grow: moisture control and 3 in jiffy pellets. I have heard good and very bad things about both. The only one that had sprouted was the seed in the MG. It look's healthy other then a little yellow coloring and I think that might be from the MG Nutes. But now that they are under 24hr cfl lighting they are turning greener. I did have one problem with it tho. And I could't find a answer to it anywhere so now is a good time as any to ask. But the tap root goes up, and the back down into the soil. ( this was at first, not anymore ). The only thing I could thing of was root rot but it really doesn't look like it. And it's root is pretty strong and it's growing up now. As for the 3 in jiffy pellets. They seem to be doing good and they're coming up slowly. But I think I should see atleast one of them sprout tomorrow. But I don't know what I should move it into. I don't want to put the other 3 in MG. I guess since that's all I had at the time it is going to be a little experiment for that plant. If anyone has some soil recommendations it would be awesome if you'd let me know. I went to the garden center today and the only thing I saw that I have seen anyone use is Bat Guano. The soil they had didn't even have any info on it. I think it was like rhino top soil or something like that. And the other stuff was MG. And I can't buy anything online so i'm limited to Home Depo, Lowes, Walmart, Etc. I wish I had access to the Fox Farms or anything like that but I don't. Any tips would be amazing. I honestly started this journal to look back on and of course the enjoyment you guys might get to see it grow (if they do) and for the advice. These forums are crawling with info I have been lurking for days but just now decided to sign up. But here is just the questions I have that have been bugging me. What's the chances they could all be male. (that would suck so bad), And the grow box I have is made out of a big plastic bin on it's side. Its about 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide. And I want to know if I could grow all 4 of them in it. I want it to be a nice canopy but I don't know what would happen if they all started tangling and what not. Other than that my only last question really is, Should I get reflective material for the box or will it really matter for just a few plants.
