I love this site. You guys are so awesome at responded to my threads every time I post. I have really improved my grow operation just in the last 3 days because of the advice and comments you folks have shared, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Ok so I started off with a pretty poor grow op, that consisted of a hanger rack, cardboard box and 1 45-watt Gro-Lite, and 11 seedlings crammed into one 3-gallon pot. ( I KNOW, I KNOW, terrible idea! )
Now I have a 6 ft tall x 1.5 ft. deep x 3.5 ft. wide grow space completely wrapped in white reflective growing material (92% reflective). One 150watt HPS SunSystem grow light, and two 150watt CFL's. I have 4 plants in each pot, and I know this is a mistake, but it is the only thing I can do for now until I know the sex of my babies. I have also recently discovered a few black adult male aphids investigating my plants. I immediately began treatment with some organic insecticide I bought at my local horticulture store.
PLEASE GIVE AS MUCH AS ADVICE AS YOU FEEL FIT....AS I AM CONSTANTLY TRYING TO IMPROVE MY GROW OPERATION. THANK YOU FOLKS FOR YOUR TIME AND ADVICE. HAPPY GROWING TO ALL, AND GOOD LUCK!

There are two small fans on the top, to help circulate, I have a much larger fan underneath the pots, and one big box fan blowing air through a slit in the grow op and circulating air around the room.

How do my babies look? They have a few small dots of brown that just showed up today, not sure what it is...maybe those damn aphids?!?

I just bought this stuff today...I haven't used it yet. My plants are in FoxFarm Ocean Forest Soil. I figured the soil has good enough levels of N-P-K without needing any added fertilizers. Is this right? Or, should I go ahead and start using the fertilizer?
Thanks again for taking a look guys...hope you have some good advice for me!
