Hello everyone, This is my 2nd grow outdoors. I have chosen 2 strains that I read about that do well in northern climates. South east PA. The strains I chose are Northern Lights and Mountain Mist. My plan is to veg indoor till about the week of April 20th. I am then going to move them all outdoor. Right now my box consists of 16 babies. They are under 6 23 watt 1600 lumen bulbs. The medium I started off with is MG Seedling mix. These are pics of them 3 days above ground.

can someone leave some feedback for me. I would like to know if things look like they are going smooth. I also have a fan on them for about 14 hours a day to strengthen the stems.

Looks decent, no stretching and they all look solid, may want to make a reflector to increase lumens, do you rotate them?

yes I have a white plastic top i place above the lights to reflect the light downward on the plants. Yes I rotate them depending on the way they are leaning.

not really but unless its perfect and no crinkles its waste of time,either get mylar or just some wood painted white surrounding them like walls if its only till the 20th or so,just keep the lights low you dont really need alot of stuff for the next week or so:bigjoint:

yea I hope to get these guys outside soon. At first I was thinking about next week but then I though the first week of may would better suit them. Maybe earlier tho cause of lack of room in my grow box.

Alright these are my babies 8 days above soil. My NL leafs are looking skinny compared to my Mountain Mist and other strain.

Also I had suspected Heat burn on the NL so I moved them to the back of my box away from the lights.

lookin good man. i am in your neck of the woods too and the weather is JUST starting to get nice enough for some outdoor work. as long as your spot is safe you should do fine. what kinda nute's are you gunna use and whatnot?

only thing i would suggest is to possibly wait til may 1st to put them outside. it was pretty chilly around me last night prob high 30's or low 40's with some pretty strong wind. be careful putting young ones out early.
