Hi all. This is my first attempt at growing. It's an indoor setup, very basic. I used miracle grow potting soil in plastic cups. Gravel at the bottom and holes punched in the cups. I germinated the seeds between wet paper towels and now have 22 sprouts with an average size of about 3 inches tall one week after planting (actually 9 days now). I'm using three flourescent fixtures (24 hours on) and a fan for ventilation and to strengthen the stems. What kind of growth rate should I expect? What's an average to look for?
I haven't fertilized yet because I read that with good soil, there's no need until about three weeks. True?
I'm looking to produce shorter, thicker plants as the space available is limited. Is there any pruning necessary? If so, at what stage?
