Hey you guys. I am new
To this forum, so first Off just wanna say hi! Nice to meet you all, and I'm hopeful you guys can help me out with my first grow since about 2001! I'm gonna be as descriptive and thorough as I can, when describing my situation, so here goes. My total current available grow space is a bedroom closet, 2 x 8 x 7, but I am currently only using a 2 x 2 x 2 foot section for vegging. I have a total of 8 seedlings. 1 Purple Kush seedling, and the rest seeds I got out of a bag of some good schwag. I have 2 65 watt 4100k (8400 lumens) CFL bulbs, 1 55 watt soft white 2700 k (3860 lumens) CFL bulb, and 3 23 watt daylight CFL bulbs (4800 lumens) for a total of 17,060 lumens for the 8 seedlings, which are now ten days old as of this morning. I have a small fan blowing over the sprouts And another larger fan that I use to cool the metal hoods I have the bulbs in, which actually do produce a decent amount of heat contrary to what people say about CFLs, "they do put out some heat" if you have enough in a small space. I am feeding distilled water until it runs out the bottom of the solo cups about every two days, or until the soil is dry about an inch down. I have the enclosure surrounded in reflective material and I cut out an air vent on the top of the enclosure. I have the seedlings under the lights 24/7 and keep them about 2 to 3 inches away from the tops. I am growing in an organic garden soil mix made especially for tomatoes. Contains worm castings, bat guano and all that good stuff, but no slow release nutrients as far as I know. I have the DWC box made and ready to use, but am unsure as to whether or not keep them in the soil or risk losing them by putting them in the DWC. I have a bottle of Alaska fish fertilizer. 5.1.1 and a box of MG all purpose plant food. What can I do to ensure these little babies get the nutrients they need, what am I doing right and what am I Doing wrong? They seem to be doing ok for ten days old, and aside from the purp kush seed being smaller than the others, they all look pretty healthy. Any suggestions would help tremendously! Thanks
