Hey everyone I am on a new journey something Ive always been interested in doing but never had the time. I didn’t really follow the rule per say in the germination phase ( which is now) I didn’t us the Paper towel technique or the seed floating in water for fear of messing it up so anxiety kicked in and thought " Hey your Mom, Dad, and Grandma didn’t need to germinate a seed before they planted it" but then I also thought they weren’t growing Unicorn Whip.Also A little advice about watering and light I don’t want to over do anything or vice versa. O yeah those are succulents in the corner I was wondering if growing other plants around would be a problem. Thanks in advance much appreciated

Welcome. I will defer to the dirt farmers, but you’re in the right place.

Welcome.
There is nothing wrong with direct sowing though it will probably increase stager in germination.
Plants in the room wont be a problem if they and the soil they are in is clean from insects/ diseases/virus/ fungus.
By the time those plants are in vegged out and entering flower there probably wont be enough light for a succulent.
Is there draining in those pots? Is it pure coir?

Thanks that does make ense about their being no sunlight. I used miracle gro coarse potting mix ( which I heard is another cardinal sin). Yea the pots have good drainage holes at the bottom.

I learned everything I could back then, but a lot has changed since then.
I don’t grow a lot of weed, or even a variety of weed. I’m working on preserving my favorite strain. Everybody has their own vision.

Yea I definitely agree with the own vision I’m tired of paying for lack luster product from the shops and then I don’t know what the guys on the street are putting in there so I figured why not cultivate it for my personal use and also my friends.

Hey Invisiblebully718,
all the best to you on your first grow!!
I also stumbled into OG 1.0 in late 1999, but I lurked for 9 months before I made a handle.
I was however teaching myself, how use a computer so it was UGLY for me.
LJ has revived and made better this treasure trove of good folks all seeking buds.
If I can offer you any insights, just follow to my thread and ask away.
Take care, and best wishes!

Well to me anyway, I find it FAR more easy to grow for myself, then all the years I spent chasing buds, and of course, back then there was no dispensary’s, to even consider.
Hell I never been in one yet. I’ve been gifted items from them.
I think cannabis growing made me a far better outdoor gardener, as I learned to do shit now, over putting it off.
I’ve built and run so many different ways now, and find all of them thrilling.
Just keep it fun for yourself, you will do well, IMHO.

You’re lucky my friend I feel too uncool to be inside the dispensaries it feels like an early 2000s Hollister Clothing Store trendy vibe.

Hey man look pretty healthy but what’s the plan with two seedlings in one container? I’ve experimented with two plants in a pot and usually doesn’t work unless like seven gallons and up short veg. Going to just cull weaker one?

Good question I had no idea that it was bad idea to have two in one pot lol I guess I’m going to have to do some real gardening now.
