Hello all! Been lurking here for about a month now, but finally got some pics so I figured I'd start my journal. I've learned so much thanks to everyone here and am very grateful for it. Most of the good stuff is yet to come, but here are my experiences thus far. Currently have: 4x23w cool blue CFL 1x23w soft white CFL 1x43 soft white CFL bag seed shultz organic potting soil, perlite, peat moss In the mail/will get in the next week: 400w Super HPS (GE,phillips,etc.. dont know yet) 400w lumatek digital ballast with econno wing reflector 10x Northern Lights 10x Bubblegum 10x Big Bud 5x thai stick fox form ocean + tiger bloom, big bloom, etc ---------------------------------ANYWAY---------------------------------------- my plants...i didn't start out real serious and just had them under the single 43w, i then added 2 23w cool blues. i started them in party cups and i had them double stacked with drain holes. i only used the organic soil that says it feeds for 3 months. i'm pretty sure that they have been stunted (i'm ashamed!) because i had them too close to the lights and may have been under watered a bit. the first one sprouted on 4/11 so yes, they are very small for their age, but they are just bag seed from some mids. i'm facing a location move soon so i'm just doing this in an attic and the temperature shouldn't be much of an issue. soil mix is now 6 parts soil, 3 peat poss, 2 perlite...water is always bottled. not sure on the size of the pots...i'll just let the pictures tell the rest... setup
