Hey, i have my room set up and my seeds germinating right now, they should be ready to plant by tomorrow night.

but where do i get the nutrients i need? where do i find:

How are you growing your plants? Soil? See if you can get any Canna Terra Vega/Flores (soil). Very good nutes if you ask me. Theyve been working on them for 25 years or more with cannabis so they know what they are doing. Instructions are on the bottle.

Availability? UK or US?? If its UK then try here http://www.growell.co.uk if its US then im afraid you ll have to do a bit of research yourself

yeah im in the US. but i have a new question now...

how do i know when to water? i dunno if my fingers are fucked up from me always burning them, but i cant really FEEL if its wet or not =[

i think ive burnt away the nerve endings in all my 10 fingers.. =[

im serious too, i really cant feel when the soil is wet.

i JUST planted the seeds today, and i know im supposed to keep the soil moist for like the first 3 weeks..

24 hour light i know that but how often do i water? like 3 times a day? the light seems to dry it out.. even tho i have a fan in tehre =[

i need so much help :idea:

If you cant feel the soil all you can do is look at it and guess, unless you go and buy yourself a meter/probe that will tell you whats going on. Poke your finger in about 2 inch and see if the soil looks damp or not.

Watering 3 times a day is far too much. When the soil starts to come away from the side of the pot is a good indicator that things are starting to dry up. Also your plant will tell you when it needs watering badly as it will start to look very sad.

Id say water maybe once every 2 days or so, maybe a little more often if you think it really needs it. No nutes for the first 2 weeks though, and then start at 1/4 strength.

blood meal is the best thing you can put on the little guys most fertilizers you have to be careful can leave a tase if used too late in the growing process and can scorch the roots if used too soon

here is a real sientific site but dutifully covers everything (though most of it is in sience mumbo jumbo ...enjoy)
