What’s up everybody? I’m starting my first grow and just thought I would journal it and pick the brains of all the growers here. I started with some bag seed and have been working on germination. So far, 3 of the 4 have sprouted, with 2 already forming the pre leaves and one that’s opened up. I also just received some seeds from here too, with a P4P. I don’t have any type of special set up, just a 65 watt LED grow bulb. My balcony gets some really good direct sunlight, so I’ve been letting them chill out there for a couple hours in the morning. I’m not really sure what I want to do with the bag seed, since I don’t really want to have tot worry about 12/12 and flowering. Anyway, I’m going to drop my seeds (sour d auto) into some soil tonight. I’ll figure the rest out as I go 😂 ---

Preciate that! Yea I figured, I just wanted to get them under something. Do you have any suggestions about small grow lights or bulbs? ---

Nope because I spent the money on awesome lights that set me back $799 but I was able to get 2 lbs off a single harvest. Lights is the single most important item for growing cannabis. Then soil and nutrients. ---

The hgl qb board is a very nice plug and play light kit and a single qb board is about 1ft square. ---

Planted two of my sour d autos yesterday. The seeds had already started to sprout so that was cool. 3 out of the 4 bagseeds sprouted. I’m going to give two away. The one I’m going to keep looks pretty good I think. I’ve decided I’m going to make one of the autos exclusively a balcony plant and the the other I’m going to do a mix in/out. ---

Some pictures. I believe that second one is stretching? I’m my light will be in this week so I’m not too worried about it. Probably going to go ahead and get a tent too. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/a/0/aa07045fe7e9e38948cc3d75dbc2f3490a7a1add.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/4/a/f/4afbeeeb9bcc760cc71aba65114955dccc570e5e.jpeg) ---
