I am relatively new to indoor growing and am doing this for medical reasons. Most days I can't walk. My knees are shot and have a fractured spine. Generally in immense pain and suffer gran mal seizures. Have done most of my life. My son also suffers from epilepsy. Anyways.... I had started these seeds off in regular luke warm tap water and had put these in 40mm jiffy pellets. I've given the pellets just a slight squeeze so the things aren't overly water logged. this might hopefully stop the seeds from rotting and give them half a chance at life. I had bought most of the seeds from Cannavault seeds, which sells Blimburn seeds/genetics. All seeds were quite small except for the Alien Gorilla Glue, and quite green looking also. This is far from ideal. The OG Kush seeds were developed by myself and the parent plant is still going and producing more ripe seed. I suspected maybe less than half would take, and thus far 3 have sprouted. My tent is a 80cm x 80cm x 1.6m high tent, and I am using a 315w CMH light in a cool vent, and at this point my lighting is running at 50% power using a cultiv8 digital balast. So far things are looking ok. temps are fine in the tent and a good few seeds have germinated. At this point, Both the Alien Gorilla Glue seeds have taken, 5 of the 10 CBD 1-CA seeds have taken, 3 of the 9 Homemade OG Kush seeds have popped, 1 of the 2 Jack Herer have also popped, but none of the Girl Scout Cookies seeds from Blimburn have popped. This is very early days yet, and am only on day 2, so I do suspect that over the next 3-5 days we will see more germinate. I am really hoping for good results here. I am now unemployable and struggling to pay for my legal meds, hence trying to grow my own. Just a slight update. At day 4 "22/04/2022", I've now got Both Jack Herer feminised seeds sprouted as well as 7 of the 10 Seeds of CBD 1-CA "|which is most important to me", and also 7 of the 9 seeds that I'd created myself of the feminised OG Kush. I am relatively impressed with the germination rates at this point, although hoping and praying another couple of the CBD 1-CA seeds take root. Another update. My son had dropped my tray of CBD 1-CA seedlings and broke one :( Unfortunately for us, these were most critical for us, as we were planning on growing this to create our own oil to self medicate against our gran mal seizures that the both of us have. I still have 6 seedlings all happy and healthy, but 1 is behind the rest of them. Also, I have now got these seedlings in 3l square pots and they will remain there until around 3 weeks time. Once they''re of size, they will go into a 1.2 x 2.4m long grow tent and sit under 2 x 600w HPS lights. We are at day 6 now from planting seed. Have labelled all the seedlings except for the 2 x jack herer as I've ran out of plant tags.

I'm not sure what to classify as the start of week 1, so please forgive me for my ignorance. These seedlings were planted from seed exactly 9 days ago. I have given their 1st week of life to germination. Not sure why exactly, but seems like a reasonable amount of time for any seeds to take off. Anyways, so far things are looking good. Smaller/undersized seedlings are picking up fine and all doing well. I will be giving it another 2 weeks or so, before these babies go into their bigger pots. I have dual plans for this grow. 1 of them is to produce some feminised seed, so I can continue growing over the next few grows without having to try and buy seed. For me, it's exceptionally hard to buy, not just due to finances, but also due to my location. To add to that, I like the idea of self-sufficiency. My other plan is to use the plant material to make tinctures for medicinal purposes. Both my little son and I suffer from a rare form of epilepsy called Lennox Gastaut. It is very resistant to mainstream medications, and only in recent years I have found it is controlling my seizures immensely, and has given me back some of my life. Now at day 7 of veg on 4/5/22. Plants are moving along nicely, but I'll need to give them a bit more of a feed. they look slightly underdone on the nitrogen etc, so will give them a boost. I'll give it another week at the most, and then they will be moving into their new home.
