haha hey everyone ive never grown anything in my life and this monday im going to get my seeds (stress seeds =\) ive been reading alot of information from the forum so i thought it would be fun to grow myself.. heres my plans for growing tell me anything so i can improve it i got alot of questions =\ about growing so bare with me haha ill be posting pictures up when i got everything going.. im still not sure about growing yet. i need to find a secluded area because i cant grow in my room or house.. if theres a way to make the plant smaller i can grow in my backyard but anyways here are the plans

when i get the seeds im going to do germinate them with the ziploc baggy method and when the thing pops out of the seed ill get one of those red cups and fill it half way with soil/fertilizer and then use my finger and push a hole into the soil then put the seed inside, am i suppose to put the root or w/e facing up or down? well after putting it in im going to cover it up with somemore soil and then water it .. after doing that im going to leave it outside in the sun and see what happens.. how many times or how much should i water a day ? and the weather down here in cali is pretty hot.. when it gets to the afternoon the sun is super super super shiny and its hot! and in the mornings its cold.. does anyone know a way to shrink your plants? is that possible? i dont even know haha im a noob to growing :(

oh yeah i will also cut holes on the bottom of the red cups so the water can flow out.. to tell you the truth i dont really kno why. ive seen many people do this so im gnna also do it haha

I dont know why but onward christian soliders just popped in my head,I guess cause it just excites me to see someone pick up there nute bottles and join the war.Welcome to the growing community brother.

I dont do soil,so take from this what you can use.after you get germed seeds planted in the red cups,before you water at all,pick the cup up and notice the relative weight.Then give it a drink and do the same afterwards.sometime before it gets back to the orignal weight you need to water again.thats the best way i can think of to know when to water,is by the weight of the planter.READ THIS (http://www.homegrownbud.com/forums/showthread.php?t=306)before you start your grow,some good info about garden security.also i found this link (http://www.homegrownbud.com/forums/showthread.php?t=307) while looking for the last,it might be of interest also.

and by the way the holes in the bottom of the red cup is for drainage.
