My plants are about 5 weeks old. I don't remember exactly when I planted them because I planted them outside just for shits and giggles. Then I transplanted.

Lights: 18" 5000K 15W Fluorescent Tube, another 18" 15W Fluorescent Tube (Color Temp. Unknown) and a 26W 6500K CFL.

Soil: Regular cheap potting soil.

Ventilation: Box fan and fabric freshener sheets for odor.

Watering: Tap water. I just put as much as I think it needs.

Nutrients: None. I dont really know what to get.


I have another 14W 2700k CFL, and another 18" 2700K Fluorescent Tube for flowering.

So what do you think so far? Does it seem like I'm doing alright? I know smell will become an issue as time goes by, but I don't know what to do. I have carbon for a fish tank or something if that helps.

Umm for nutrients you could use this brand of molasses to help out during flowering the NPK is like 3-1-5 the brand is 'BRER RABBIT BALCKSTRAP MOLASSES' add like a table spoon to a gallon of water and feed it molasses ever week or so, I would also get a pH meter http://www.google.ca/imgres? imgurl=http://cdn1.ioffer.com/img/item/143/696/057/O2cNzwZUzAqkeHg.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.ioffer.com/si/tester%2Bmeter&usg=__1j45neUer1Kz8e-IpMWIllBn7bY=&h=350&w=350&sz=187&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=l3HnPsWEeVHNmM:&tbnh=171&tbnw=170&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dph%2Bmoisture%2Blight%2Bmeter%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1366%26bih%3D651%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=330&vpy=80&dur=2603&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=139&ty=149&ei=Gn6BTKvPBIq2sAPY24H3Bw&oei=Gn6BTKvPBIq2sAPY24H3Bw&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0

and for to bring soil ph down sqeeze some lemon juice in your water then water and to bring it up use lime not the fruit but like lime its some weird stuff i havn't tried before

Certainly looks like a good start. Give them all the light you can afford or find. 6500k for vegetation, 2700k for flowering. As for fertilizer, nutreints, keep it basic, research it abit more for what to use for soil grow
