First timer here. I've been reading Rollitup and have gained a great deal of knowledge. Honestly, I don't see how so many people ask so many stupid questions that have been answered countless times, but that is neither here nor there.

I need this to be stealthy for obvious reasons, and I had a quality wooden dresser that I no longer used. After my bro harvested his plant I did some thinking. A lot of toking later, and my bro reminding me of the numerous high quality seeds he had been collecting, I decided I was going to give this a shot. I may or may not post pictures of the actual cabinet just because I'm paranoid, and a little toasted/drunk right now(the Kirin Ichiban was calling my name when I was walking down the beer isle).

I germinated all seeds using a paper towel and so far have had 100% success rate out of the 5 seeds. The supposed strains are 3x G13, 1x GDP, 1x Strawberry Diesel. I can confirm the Strawberry Diesel since that was a seed I got out of the bag and immediately germinated, but the others are just based off what I've been told. I've also read that G13 is clone only, but since plants can be forced to
hermaphrodite I can see how seeds could be possible. UPDATE: I'm being told the seeds were made by a G13 grower and given to my bro.

The first 2 seeds started off in outdoor dirt just because I was a little overzealous about things, then were transplanted into Scotts potting soil. There was multiple seedlings in each pot at this point. Last night after a few more of the seedlngs were started to get a few inches on them I decided that simply wouldn't do. I went to Home De Pot and picked up a bag of manure/organic compost soil, perlite and peat moss. Mixed this stuff up and transplanted all the seedlings into their own cups. I also am experimenting with the 3 "G13" seedlings and FoxFarm GrowBig nutes. I have put one(youngest) on just water for now, one(middle) on 1/2 strength nutes, and one(oldest) on full strength nutes. A day has passed and the plants that were fed nutes are growing great, with no sign of any nute burns. I plan on either LSTing these to the max, or topping, or fimming them.

For lighting I'm currently using a combination of CFLs, a fluorotube and some MR16 LEDs. As the op moves further and the plants get taller I am going to be adding more CFLs and removing the MR16s because of heat issues. I have the CFLs mounted withing 2-3" of the plants, the MR16s mounted about 2 feet above, and the fluorotube is used for side lighting. The internal walls have mylar on them.

Any comments are welcome, and stay high.

Out of the first two seeds I germinated, one was G13 and one GDP. I don't remember which was which though and I didn't label them as they shared a pot at the beginning of their lives.

Plant A: G13 or GDP - 7 days (full nutes)
Plant B: G13 or GDP - 7 days (no nutes)
Plant C: G13 - 3 days (1/2 nutes)
Plant D: G13 - 2 days (no nutes)
Plant E: Strawberry Diesel - unsprouted (no nutes) [unpictured]
