Second Grow - Lessons learned.

Trying out germination without the starter pack, i tried a straight into the soil seed last week, and it didn't even break out. This week i am doing a peat pellet. I soaked the pellet in a .25ml / 200ml water ratio, and let it bloom from there. I then placed the seed and drained out the excess solution. This is my second grow and after lessons learned with stretching, nutrients, and lack of light from my first grow, i'm really looking to make a beautiful plant!
