Hi everyone, Zerb here I'm completely new to the forum and also to growing my own plants...
So let me catch you guys and galls up to what i have been up too and how i got here. I'm in a 3rd world country where weed isn't illegal but it's super expensive so i opted to grow my own plants. I bought a couple of grams off the streets, was able to collect a few seeds (No clue what strain)... But i decided to give it a try and why not maybe even have fun in the process.
Day 1 - March 18th
I placed the seeds in between two make-up cleaning cotton pads
Like i said nothing fancy, out of the 4/5 seeds i collected from the bad quality weed i was able to successfully germinate 2 seeds using this method.
I stored them for germination inside a shelf in a closet around 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit, and in permanent darkness.
March 23rd - 5th day of germination
JACKPOT
March 23 - Transfer to Soil
I got some clean soil from filled pots i was using for other outdoor house plants, i prepared the soil by spraying it lightly and mixing it so that it would collect moisture evenly. I did not wet the soil, i now seedlings are very vulnerable to excessive water.
Pushed down my index finger about an inch for the long germinated seed and about half for the small one. Planted both with care and lightly pushed the soil around them leaving about the length of a fingernail out of the soil.
Plant #1 This is "Kali" in the green cup, it was the longest taproot.
Plant #2 This is "Sephora" the smallest taproot.
March 23rd - Indoor Grow light T8 Tube
I'm using 1 standard T8 18W Florescent tube 6500k, the light cycle they are both on is 16 of light and 8 of darkness.
I keep them about 2-3 inches away from the light.
This is the exact T8 tube I'm using (picture above)
This is the distance im keeping them from the light (picture above)
March 24 - Plants look healthy and first two leafs are starting to sprout
This is "Kali" in the picture above (March 24th)
This is "Sephora" in the picture above (March 24th).

I'm open to suggestions, but please keep in mind I'm in a 3rd world country and there's no access to grow lights or fancy equipment, can't measure PH, none of that... There's very little i can do, except maybe add lights (same T8 tubes), a fan for stronger stems. But resources here in this country are EXTREMELY limited so please be gentle with me lol, hope you guys can help me through the process, I'll be updating the thread constantly and interacting with you all frequently, hope you all like the thread. Let's have some fun growing these two unknowns.
