Ah Jackson, you sound like me on my first grow. It took me 7 beans to get 2 plants going. I was starting to doubt everything. Then I found @Ronin germination thread and I've had 100% success since.@Ronin way found HERE
Don't remember if I do it exactly like this but the key take aways are:
1. Saturate the cube
2. Pop the bean in the hole.
3. Plug the hole with a small piece of the cube.
4. After 12hrs, wring out the majority of the water. The cube should just be moist now until the sprout pops up.
I also use Fox Farm ocean forest but I mix it with happy frog and chunky perlite with a bit of dolomite lime.
3 parts Ocean Forest
3 parts Happy Frog
2 parts chunky perlite
Don't remember how much lime but I think it was 1-2 tablespoons per gallon.
You say that you are space limited but I don't recall seeing any measurements. I too am space limited, 24" x 36" and 44" between soil top and light. My first couple of grow I had a lot of problems with overcrowding and keeping the girls from growing into the light. Lately I have been growing Mephisto girls. I have grown Sour Crack, Deep Blue C, Toofless Alien, & Sour Hound. These strains are about perfect for my small space. The smallest plant was 8" and largest about 18". I use 3gal airpots and 2 18" girls will fill the space. But if I stagger them about 4 weeks apart, I can manage 3 girls at different growth stages.
My 2 cents worth, hope it helps. oh and not in TX but 1 state over - about 6hrs from Houston.:smoking:
