Next step |
I submerge the seeds in the water. I stuff a plastic bag in the cup to keep the seeds down. This just helps soften the shells. They will remain in the water for 12 hours, in a dark, room temperature location. |

12 hours later |
After 12 hours in the submerged water. They are then placed on a very moist paper towel. |

Moister |
The seeds get covered with the paper towel. The paper towel remains in a plastic sandwich bag for a high humidity. |

In the dark |
I used a black beenie to keep the bag in. It provides darkness and warmth. |

Final step |
I place the beenie on top of my digital cable box. This provides a warmer temperature. This will also insure that the seeds wont rot. |

6 hours later |

The Computer |
So this is where the vegetation is going take place. Yeah I know its small. Ive always wondered how much bud I can yield with minimum space and lights. The 4 seeds that germinated are in the 4" pots. |

Inside |
I hooked up a computer exhaust fan that I purchased at the electronics store. There is also 2 CFL's hanging. They each light up at 1700 lumens. They are rated like a 100W bulb, although the wattage is lower. |

The area |
The left comp. is for flowering. The right for veggetation. Right now im using both for veggetation. Im going to sex them in a week. This is due to the limited space. I can only keep 2 females in each computer, with 6" pots. |
