I decided to make this journal because this is my second grow, and I have very little experience/knowledge in growing cannabis. I'm hoping that as I post pictures of the growth, I can get some constructive feedback to improve my buds. Also, hoping to help out anyone in a similar position as me.
Just for some background, here are some pics of my first plant, grew it from seed with a 100W HPS. Turned out to be male though.

Here are some pics of my growbox:

The box is 40" x 22", and from the bottom, to the bottom of the CFLs, 30" (height). There are 4 computer fans, 2 are blowing air in, and the bottom two are blowing air out. They are on both sides of the box. In total so far, I have 6 CFLs, the 4 in the pictures are 23W (100W equivalent), 5000K. I also have 2 more 2700K 23W CFLs. As the plants grow bigger, I will add more CFLs. The larger bulb there is a 100W HPS, which again, will be turned on later in growth. The only unfortunate part is that I can't move my lights, so I have to move my plants, which will probably annoy me. Ohh, and yes those are textbooks, 3rd year civil engineering, some more proof smoking pot doesn't make you dumb!
I ordered 10 Acapulco Gold seeds from Attitude, they arrived within a week (Canada). They also arrived with 9 other femmed seeds to my surprise
. Decided to germinate 4 of the Acapulcos, as well as a Warlock, and Sensi Star. After 24 hours, the warlock, sensi star and 1 acapulco gold were showing a good tap root and I planted them. After another 24 hours the other 3 acapulco's were planted. Of the first 3 seeds I planted, 2 of them have sprouted after about 36 hours. Here are some pics so far.

The smaller sprout is an acapulco gold, and the larger one is the warlock. That is also a picture of the soil I used. I mixed it with about 30% perlite. I planted 6 because I'm a noob, so I'm preparing to screw up a couple plants/hermie them. My plan is to have 3, and LST/SCroG grow. I do not have any nutes yet, except for some 'All purpose' 20/20/20 fertilizer, though I don't think I'll use it again. I think it burned my first plant and it can be seen in a couple pictures where it looks all wilted. I'm still not sure what type of nutrient to buy, as I am on a very limited budget. Anyways, that is about it, I hope as I post more updates I can get some feedback as I'm always looking to better myself.
cheers!
