So about 2-3 weeks ago I was given Some :leaf:Herbage:leaf: from My sister in-law when she came to visit us.
inside the Bag was one seed and I've been Trying to get a hold of some seeds for some time. So I stuck it in a Card Holder with Paper Towel and Germinated it... It Started Rooting So fast that when I checked on it 3-4 days later it was already Growing Little Leaves from the top.

So I Planted it and with in the next day it looked like this.

I was So amazed at the growing Speed.

This is how it looks Now.

This is maybe about Almost 3 weeks old.

I'm Growing it in a Handmade Box With one 20" t10 Fluorescent Blub and #4: 20 watt Regular Fluorescent Blubs - I have a Ph, Moist and Light checker in it and the Ph Level is at 8 and the Moist I always keep it in the mid-range and light is at 500 what ever that means.........

I'm Not sure of the Strain of Plant But I think it is a indica.

Any advice IS Most Welcome!

Thank YOu :)

Try to remember 4 things - KISS! You're off to a good start and keep us posted. Stop measuring your pH. It will keep you awake needlessly. Trust good soil and good nutrients.

Welcome to the wonderful world of growing.
My advice to you would be...
#1 don't overthink or overlove them. There just a plant keep it simple.
#2 Listen to others advice just be wary of people who act like there way of doing it is the only way.
May the grow goddess look favorably on you.

I've only check the Ph once, That was when I First Planted it. What I check on more is the Moisture. Normally have to water it every 2 days or so.

great start. you have done more in the past few weeks than most newbies can do in a whole grow, you just plowed right into it. see...it isn't about growing a magic herb. it's about growing a weed. my advice to you is use only half the manufacturers recommended fetilizr rates. top dress the plant after a month with a rich, organic (compost fom the garden if you have it) and lots and lots of light. outdoors if you can. i see success in your future miss star.

Thank You Danny!!! I Will Get some Compost and Try it. I do Have a Veggie Garden Outside So I'll Give it a Try. Thank You Very Much For the Advice!

As For Giving it Sun light I have a Question.??????
If I was to take the Plant Outside Everyday and Allow it to have Pure Sun light Will it Kill it? From the Constant Change of Light and Stress?
LOL and Would the Birds take off with it? LOL I have Lots of Birds out where I live and They have Many times Ruined my Garden So I just Want to make sure they wont kill my plant:leaf:. LOL

Plants taken outside must be hardened to full sunlight. Put in filtered shade a few days and she should be fine. The birds won't bother it but the bugs might.

my thoughts exactly. idk what to tell u bout the birds...mb try one plant to see what happens and go from there. cannabis doesnt realy taste good but its more toxic towards them when in flower.
