My grow

I started my first marijuana grow on July the 15th when I planted my first seed. Later, on the 20th, I planted nine others. Two of those never sprouted (Bad seeds maybe?) They are in my sun room, and get light from 10:00 till 8:00. I water them every day and send them good vibes. I'm wondering if there is anything else I can do for them. Is there anything I'm not doing. Since this is my first grow, my inexperience is affecting my confidence. I life in Victoria BC. Will the winter come too soon for them to grow properly? I can post more pictures as they grow or if anyone needs a close-up or anything. Thanks for the help.

ok, my tips for beginners is, A)get a good light, like a 400 watt hps/mh light. thats like 150 dollars. keep it inside under the light for 24 hours for 2-3 months then start going on a 12/12 schedule. stay on that for 55 days, after that it shiuld be ready.

Thanks for the advice MattH, but I think I want to use only natural light for this, I still live with my parents so they might not be cool with a light in their sun room.

The room is south facing, Schwip, they get tons of light.
And yes, my parents are cool with me growing pot as long as they get some of it.

Put them in some bigger pots. 2-3 gallon should be good. 5 gallon would be better. Bigger pots, bigger pot plants.

I want to put them in bigger pots, but I don't know if their root systems are developed enough to keep together.

This grow doesn't use natural light does it cause it is way to late in the year to be starting plants. Most plants are in budding right now.

I it too late to plant? They are inside and in sunshine. Will they not produce?

They'll produce bud but not as much as if they'd had a longer vegetative growth period.

Veg for 2-3 MONTHS!??!?!? Maybe weeks, good lord. After a month under a Sod. they get huge. I would reccommend Veg for 3-4 weeks, and then flower for 65 days give or take.
BTW, transplant those ASAP, and bury the stem a bit in the ground so they aren't so tall and lanky

I vegged for 10 days and flowered 63 days. Got 317g under a 400W light, first time.
It's late in the year to be growing under the sun. Your yield will probably be small. Next time start in June or something.

Does anyone have any resources on the curing process? What is it and how does it work?

A common method:
Chop plants and trim all leaves protruding from the buds.
Hang plants in a dry, dark cabinet/closet/drawer/cupboard (you get it) for a few days. Not too dry because you don't want your plants to dry too quickly and not too humid because they can mold. After a few days test your stems: bend them, if they bend they need more drying. If they are able to snap or break then you should be ready to cure.
To cure, place buds, carefully packed, into glass on glass seal mason jars. Open the jars twice a day for air to circulate and moisture to leave for a week then once a day for a couple of weeks, then you are probably ready to leave them in there indefinitely. If they stink like rot, they are too wet and you'll have to leave the jars open or even take them out for a bit more drying. It's not anything you can do perfectly the first try. It takes patience and experience to get it right. Remember, mistakes happen but you can always learn from them.

What does curing do to the buds? I hear it improves flavour and smokability. What are some other things I can do with the leaves? ( since they too contain at least some THC)

Curing helps the smoothness, and gets rid of the planty taste (chlorophyl).
Make butter with the trim.
