hi everyone my name is jon.
iv been (trying) to gro for the first time.
funding at the moment is a big factor since im laid off and on unemployment but i think i have a workable setup.
i started germinating mary in soil using miracle grow potting soil using the bottom half of a water bottle.
after about a week i tranfered into a 2 quart container using the same potting soil.
lighting was an issue since im low on funding but i found 2 florecent lights(bought from spencers gifts years ago) i also have a 60w since im growing in a armoire in a basement and i needed an extra heat source.otherwize i was just above 50F, brought me to 80F
the walls, inner door,and floor are lined in aluminum foil.i made a aluminum foil dome that can travel vertically
i only have the room for 1 plant so i started with 10 seeds and after 2 weeks picked the stongest looking one and scraped the rest.
i have the lights on 24/7 and am watering twice a day with a spray bottle and bottled water(we have harsh well water).im a little upset after reading these forums cause im not seeing anywhere near the growth that iv seen. its been about 3 weeks since she (hopefully) sprouted and the second set of ribbed leaves are just starting to sprout. she also isnt as green as i have expected. i mean she is green but more of a pastel green.any advice is greatly appreciated. keep in mind i have to do with what i have around the house.
