hello all. havent posted in here since '08..been a while. Anywho, i decided i needed a hobby so i collected some bagseeds over time and germed them.
I built a grow box from some spare wood i had laying around. i have a hole in the bottom left corner with a fan blowing air in (ghetto, i know), and a smaller hole at the top right for exhaust. Another fan is inside the box circulating air.
I planted 4 sprouts in 8" pots using FFOF soil, with lava rock at the bottoms for drainage. My plants have been under a 24/0 schedule now for 17 days. So far I've had 7 - 23w daylight CFLs and one 13w 2900 on them constantly, all pretty close to the plants as you'll see in the pics.
I'm about to put up some pics for your thoughts/suggestions on my little project. I have been noticing for a while now that the leaves seem to curl up a little around the edges, and i have some pretty funky looking mutant leaves where the middle leaf is shorter than the rest, or is tangled around in a strange way. Not really sure whats going on here, or if i should even be worried. My main concern is with how short they are. All of them are only about 3-4 inches tall, and while i know CFLs arent the best light to put them under, i figured they'd be growing a little taller by now. There is hardly any space between the new shoots of leaves.
I just watered them about 10 minutes ago - its been about 5 days. Keep that in mind when you look at the pics. I don't over water, for sure. I gave them their first helping of nutes today as well, less than 1/8 tsp of GH floramicro / gal. Dont want to shock them.
Heres the pics. Any input is appreciated. Ehh, been a while since i posted a pic in a forum. Cant remember how to post pics in the thread without attaching.
