So my first experiment in growing exceeded my expectations. I used bagseed, so for this grow I decided to order some strains. They arrive and I end up killing them. I then decided to upgrade my setup a bit, so now I am using 5 five gallon and 1 three gallon smartpots. I added more light so I am currently at 12 23w 5000k cfls and 2 23w 2700k cfls. I have a fan going; however, I have noticed some temperature issues, mid 80's. For soil and nutes I am using Foxfarms Grow Big, and Foxfarms Ocean Forest.

After many problems I have finally gotten the following to sprout and look viable. All seeds are feminized.
3 Nirvana Northern Lights
1 Dinafem White Widow
1 Dinafem Cheese
1 Paradise Delahaze

My schedule is a little off for germinating, because of the dying sprouts so I have started two from 3/14, two from 3/23, and two from 4/7. Hopefullly this won't be a huge problem when I switch to 12/12 from 18/6. Because of my closet setup I have to do them all at once, so I am expecting to lose some yield on the younger ones. I think I covered all the details...now for some pics!

looks nice bro u plan on training them at all? Nice DIY brooo!

Nice fotos, lookin good. Don't sweat the temps too much, sometimes in the summer, when I'm not paying attention, my temps get over a hundred. In the summer, I regularly run in the 90's. Not recomended, but not the death knell some espouse, long as the roots stay moist and cool.

Well ya you can train them after 2weeks after rooting.
What you should do is get a reflector, there's lots of light being wasted other then that. Rock n roll bro

ya u want atleast 5 nodes..which is usually like nothingreallymatters said it has a good grab on the soil by then good luck lets see some pics after u do it
