new to growing

hey aright well im really new to growing and i looked up a lot of things already. i put about 10 seeds in a container with moist paper towel about 5 minutes ago. after my seeds germinate how big of a pot should i put them in? and how big of a light? i dont really get the whole light thing. how long should it be under them? and how much should i water them?

when the seeds crack open start with a dixie cup with holes punched in the bottom to allow drainage, fill with soil and then mosit the soil up put ur seed in it then put a zip lock bag over the cup so it can retain humidity, no light till they sprout ,bust put them in a dark place, rule of thumb stick ur fingers about one to two inch into the soil if dry water them up, when sprouted place under 24/7 of light or you can also put them under 18/6 ur choice

should i make sure all the soil looks kinda wet? and if it dries up i just put a little in so it looks wet again? any suggestion on soils? thanks a lot man

go to walmart and get the supersoil brand its the brown bag do not i repeat do not go with miracle gro ,,, unless its the organic one , as for the soil keep it moist you want that germate seed to absorb as much as it can

Keep it moist, but not too wet. It should take about 2 to 4 days to crack the seeds, once you see a root sticking out, put it in your medium. Keep it moist, not wet and under 24 hour light. After this you should see somthing coming up within a few days. Good luck.

so once i put them in the soil i should put them under light? any suggestions on lights or lamps? something small if possible

you can put them under lights or leave em in the dark ur preference but as the light goes go with cfl daylight 6500k for veg and you can go with cfl warm white 2700k for flowering but to get a wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better yield in flowering.....HPS lighting

also, how do i know when the veg period starts and ends? same with flowering. doesnt it matter what watt i get? sorry for all the questions

You have to veg them before you flower them. Get them at least about 6 to 10 inches or more your choice then change the lighting to 12/12. On for 12 hours, off for 12 hours. This will promote the flowering process as it does it nature when the summer comes to the middle and gets closer to the end, you will start to see the plant change and produce the pre-flowers. Keep it on 12/12 for at east 8 weeks and switch to bloom nutes every 2 weeks. Depending on the strain may take up to 12 weeks to harvest it, good luck.

so should i leave it on 18/6 until it gets to 6-10 inches then start the flowering for 8 weeks on 12/12?

i went to home depot today to look for lights and all i could find were 75 watt soft white lights and a 75 watt philips plant light. do you think that will do the job? a sign said the soft white lights were the warm lights and i figured the plant light could do the job for daylight.

try walmart bro use the warm whites till u start flowering but for seed/veg use the daylight cfl

i went to walmart, all i found was "soft white" i looked all over. for the flowering would the 75 watt soft white work, and for veg the 75 watt plant light?

i used it for about a week and it will work but wut will hapen is that it will dry up the soil pretty quick so to answer ur ? yea they will work but go for daylight as soon as you can trust me ull see a difference

do you know a specific name of it or brand or have a picture of the daylight and warm whites
